Cox, the Murderer of Aston,
Sentenced for Life.

ATLANTA, May 8.-The jury in the
Cox case were out all nipht and came
in to-day, to be recharged in full. At
AIS to day they came in and announ-

informality, and was then read as
follows:

window for the purpose of throwing
herself TO the ground below. She was
wild with grief. As she reached the
window she wal caught by Cox, who
held her fast. She threw her arms
around his heck and chung to him
wildly exclaiming, ooh, my God Oh
my poor darling !" Her shrleks were
heart-rending, and the occupants Of
the crowded room could not restrain
their tears Of pity. Cox used all his
powers to calm her, and finally sooth-
cd her grief until only her deep

Judge rrewhitt on Carrying Pistols,

In conversation last Friday night
Judge Trewhitt declared it rs his posi-
tive intention that in the future all
parties found guilty Of carrying pistols
would for first of!ense be fined $50 and
imprisoned for three months. Judge
TrewEitt evidently intends to enforce
the new law to its fullest extent, for
which all law-abiding people will re-
joice. This cowardly practice of car
rying pistols must be put down at al.
hazards, and the sooner it is fairly un-
derstood by all, the better it wiki be for
this community.

denounce this proclamation as a gFo:s
fraud al once upon the people, and
upon the bondholders. TO submit q
compromise TO popular vote, when u
has not been accepted by the other
party, Is a monstrous farce, aud a 81
gantic sham. And we hereby make
solemn announcement that until we
have satisfactory evidence that the hol-
ders Of our bonds are willing 10 accept
80 ana 4, and we will not take rny
hand In the mockery Of voting.
The Republican party is hot satisfied
with the so aud 4 Act. They are not
satisfied with any part of it. These
who voted for it, did so under protest;
and accepted 1t on condition the bond
holders would also accept it. The bond
holders haYc EOt accepted it. And yet,
in violation Of the law, Marks has or
dered an election. We war; those In
authority that we want no humbug.
We have had too much sham work al
ready. We want some semblnnce Of
honest dealing. We are not willing to
barter away what little honor the State
has left.
To avoid dishonor and disgrace is i'm =
possible. We have already been dis
honored. We have already been dis
graced. The only question is; shall
we be further disgraccd? 1t was 10
escape further disgrace that We hoped
the bondholders would accept so and 4.
But in offering them 70 aud A we felt
like Noah's sons when they heard OF
their fathers plight, and made the
offer, as they did, with our faces turned
backward.
And now for Gov. Marks to order au
election before the holders Of one-fifth
of our bonds have accepted the offer Of
compromise is a long stride toward re-
pudiation. 1t is saying to the bond
holders so and 4 or nothing. "Hour
money or your life!
Such q programme is contrary to the
spirit and letter Of Republican princi-
pies. We cannot sanction 1t. We will
not endorse It. We denOunce it as re-
pudiation in disguise. We call upon
Republicans everywhere to be on the
guard. A gross deception, a gigantic
fraud, a mammoth political trick is
abont to be perpetrated. An attempt is
being made ''to seduce, If it were pos
sible, even the elect" De not deceiv-
ed.
II no better evidence of the accep-
lance of the bondh olders Is produced
than the opinion of men specially sent
to bring back An affirmative report, and
| that opinion too based on the indefinite
opinions of others, we deliberately de-
clare that we consider it the duty OF
every Republican to stay away from
the polls.-RepubHcan.

what Congress Should Do.

Lumkih Independent: While the
country Is clamdring for the enforce
menr Of the law against carrying con-
csaled weapons we suggest that our
membets in Congress be petitioned to
have a'law passed to prevent Che trans
mlsSlon Of deadly weapons through the
mails. These cheap, much advertised
two aud three dollar pistols, made in
the North and sold to fools all over the
laad, are just as dangerous at closc
quarters az a ane derringer. Let the
sale Of them be prohibited IL 1t can be
done, but in any event they ought not

COMPLAINTS OF THE Mill
LISTS.
Proclamation by the -Exccu-
live Committee 10 tile Gar.

The Vienna "Tagblatt'' publishes
the follow ,g proclamat.tu addressed
70 the Car Of Russia by the Revolu
t%ionary Committee, just before the
recent attack on his life.
To Mr.. Alexander N colaievitch:
The warning and threatening let
tiers, as well "a the sentences which
we, the invisible delegates of the muir
derously oppressed Russian people,
have sent TO the various dignitaries
of the present government in Russia
belong, as a rule, to the preparative
work, and for that reason neither
yourself nor any member of your
family appears in the slightest degree
meuaced by our executive organs. In
the first instance, we wish TO clean
out in its lowest and flthicst corners
the Augean stables of despotism; to
free the people from administrative
persecution which throws them guilt
less into prison, and there, without
compassion, chastises them and al
lows them to suffer from hunger and
thirst, and then sends them as insur-
gents to the gallows, or sends them
to the polar regions tn work in the
mines. We cit in judgment, and
shall be compassionlcss in the exer-
else Of our Office, and shall recoil
from the use of no means which may
lead us to our object, which is the
eradication of the hellish brutality of
despotism through fire and sword.
The victims cry out to their execr.
TONERS. "nsorituri te salutaut," and if
you, Alexander Nicolaieyitch, refuse
to hear our warning voice, to put an
end to this tyranny, we hereby de-
clare to you that tyranny will be
beaten in the end. Your system in
Russis is rotten to the core. Our al
most boundless resources are ruined.
Your army of fun~ctionaries is a gang
| of Unsuitable thieves. Your judges are
a shame to justice. Your coroners,
pulic masters, and generals are SO
many satraps worthy of Xerkes OF
Darius. Wherever we turn our eyes
we see naught but stupidity, mingled
with cruelty, wanton waste combined
With the most merciless spoliation Of
the people. For the army alone you
reserve your fatherly care. You are
getting into dangerously deep water,
Alexander Nicolaievitch. Therefore
we warn you, but spare your life.

Chicago Inter-oeean The business
outlook from various sections is cheer
ing. The great Northwest Is alive
with business. Farners are full OF en-
ccnragcment, and a greater acreage
than ever before will be harvested the
coming year. Real estate, the last that
yielded TO the financial pressure, is
giving evidence OF revival everywhere.
In Chicago bargains no longer go a
begging. Business property, in good
localities especially, is much sought
after. A revival is al 0 reported In the

Two Interesting incidents worthy o.
special note, occurred during tht
ceremonies. One was the presence q
three Virginia and two Marylant
volunteer military companies who,
ignoring past differences, came tt
tender their tribute TO the deceased
soldier. These veterans Of many II
hard fought battle, showed by theii
admirable drill and precision that they
had not forgotten the discipline OF
war, and by their presence that brave
soldiers can do honor to a gallan
opponent. Another was the remark
of q Mr.. Watkins, on the boat whicl
carried the Society to Mount Vernon
that, though he had fought against
General Thomas, aud bore in his body
Federal bullet, yet he wished to raise
his voice i'm honor of the memory OF
that great soldier, and asked that he
might be permitted to join the Army
of the Cumberland. His speech was
greeted with rousing cheer, and als'
an eloquent response from General
Garfield, for he evidently touched q
warm spot in the heart of those
present. FELIX.
