GEORGIA.

ATLANTA, April 3O-The jury was COM
pleted to-day in the Cox-Alston case aud
the trial commenced. Part of the line Of
defense will be an effort to establish q
conspiracy to kill Cox, and prove that
Murphy furnished Alston the pistol; that
Murphy and Howard during the night
we're concealed in dark room of the
Treasury Office, coming out Immediately
after and Murphy securing the pistol used
by Aston, and that Howard asked at once
that nothing be said about their being in
said room. This theory of the defense
will be that Cox was hunting Murphy on
lease business, and not AIston; that AL
ston drew and fred without any demon,
stration from Cox to warrant the attack
aud that Cox was fortunate iu saving bis
own life by taking Alstons in self de-
tense. Important and unexpected testi-
mony is looked for tomorrow.

Every moment of delay makes your case more
hopeless, and much depends Oh the judicious
choice OF a remedy. The amount OF testimony in
favor of DR.. Schenck's Pulmonic Sy up, as a cure
for Consumption, far exceeds all hat can be
brought to support the pretentions Of any other
medicine. see DR.. Schenck's Almanac, containing
the certificates OF many persons of the highest
responsibility, who have been restored to health
after being pronounced incurable by physicians OF
acknowledged ability. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup
alone has cured many, as these evidences will
show but the cure is often promoted by the en-
ployment Of two other remedies which Dr.schenck
provides for the purpose. These additional reme-
dies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills. BY the timely use OF these medicines, &C
cordng to directions, DR.. Schenck certiAes thai
most any case of Consumption may be cured.

Democratic Caucus.

WASHINGTON, April 30.-Immediately
after the adjournment of the House to-
day we'll attended Democratic caucus was
held for the purpose of determining what
course should be pursued in regard to the
Presidents veto of the army appropriation
bill. Alter some discussion upon the
proposition to refer the veto message to
the Judiciary Committee or to a special
select committee, with view to obtaining
the report which should exhibit what was
alleged to be its incorrect Interpretation
of the purpose and effect of the sixth
section of the bill, it was decided to bring
the measure to a direct vote tomorrow
without the debate or reference resolution
embodying. This conclusion was finally
adopted with great unanimity and is as
follows:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
caucus that the bill making an appro9ri-
alton for the support of the army should
pass, notwithstanding the objections oi
the President, and then we will proceed
to take vote on tomorrow without debate
The caucus then proceeded to consider
the question Of wider scope and greater
importance namely:
/ What further action should be taken by
the Democratic party concerning the tw(
appropriation bills. after they shall bott
have been defeated by the President
vetoes. The veto of the legislative, ex
ecutive and judicial bill with its politica
sections being of course, foreshadowed b!
the present message. An animated dis
cussion ensued in which, among others
. Messrs. Randall. Blackburn, Cox ant
! Stephens participated. It was finally de
, termined to refer the whole subject to tn
caucus committees of the House and Ser
ate which originally framed the poitica

Is there Danger?

The best answer to the question whether
there is any danger that the republican
managers will try to use the army to con-
troll the next presidential election, is found
in what these same men did in 1876.
Can there be any doubt that they will hes
itate to accomplish, by force, what they
have once done by fraud? No one now
denies that they placed Hayes in the white
house by almost every known crime, even
to the numbering Of few negroes. The
most hardy of them all do not deny that
he was defeated By a majority of over a
quarter of q million votes. They do not
even pretend that he could have been
counted in except by stealing the electoral
votes of Florida and Louisiana, which
everybody admitted belonged to the dem
ocrats. They do not deny that Grant used
the army in the south to control the cleo
tions, and we all know that he filed Wash
ington with troops for the avowed purpose
of inaugurating the fraud, Hayes, if thu
people should insist on the man of thei
choice occupying the white house.
These are simply historical, unquestion
able facts. They show that the democrat
in congress are abundantly justified il
taking every precaution for the future
Will men who resorted to fraud in 1876
hesitate to employ force in 1901 to Sc
cure their ends? Knowing how the army
was used repeatedly by Grant, is it safe t.
conclude that Grants advisers and hackers
would shrink from using it to keep contro
of the national government Such ques
tons lay bare terrible possibility. Demo
cratic congressman would fail in their dut!
to the country were they to neglect to pro
vide against peril which is possible,
not imminent.
