ALSTON's MURDERER.
A Tremendous Contest by the Greatest
Legal Talent in GeOrgia--.The
Ground to be Taken by
the Defense.

ATLANTA, April 2l.-The case OF
Edward Cox for the murder of Colonel
X. A. Aston was sounded this morn.
ing by Solicitor General Hill, and,
after some discussion among couasel,
Judge Hillyer ordered the case for
Monday, the 28th, at which time it
will, in all probability, be tried. This
case is, of course, of the intensest in
terest, and is attended by the ablest
counsel in Georgia. Cox will be de.
Tended by ex-Congressman Gambler,
General Gartrell, r. r. Jeffries.
Colonel Abbot BillupS and four
other leading firms. The pros
ecution will be conducted by
Solicitor General Ben Hill. ir.,
Judge Hopkins, Judge Hall, Of
Macon, Colonel Hawkins, of Ameri,
Gus, Judge Twiggs, of Atlanta, Gen
eral Darlington, of South Carolina,
Hon. w. II. Houlsey and perhaps hall
a dozen others. The defense will be
based upon the statement that just
before Aston shot he turned as if to
walk away, drew his pistol while his
back was turned, and fired as he
wheeled Treasurer Renfroe has
sworn, however, that Aston turned
to try and walk into the next room.
but, seeing Cox entering that room BY
another door with his pistol in his
hand cooked, saw that there was no
alternative but to fight. He therefore
turned and drew his pistol, Cox's
already being out. Mr.. Renfroe fur
ther swears that the mems hands
crossed as they fired, and that the ex-
plosions were so nearly simultaneous
that he cannot tell who fred first.
Another point of defense is that
Alston followed Cox to the capitol.
which is explained by the prosecution
as follows When Governor Colquitt
left Alston at Berron's restaurant he
said he would go and talk with Cox
and effect an adjustment of the diff
Guilty. Shortly afterward Aston
walked over to the capitol. That his
purpose was still to avoid Cox is shown
by the evidence, that as he passed the
treasury window the janitor told him
that Cox was p-stairs looking for him
Went over, retraced his steps and went
into the treasury, and in abundant
caution ordered the janitOr to close
the door, In a moment Cox burst
the door open and entered. The
general impression is that Cox will
be convicted. A strange circum.
stance is quoted in this connec.
tion. It has always been the law
in Georgia that 10 OaFe of purely cir
cumstantial evidence =" a recommenda.

cases OF direct or indirect evidence

will be his own murderer
Cox has entirely recovered from his
wounds, and upon looking at him il
would be hard to tell that he had been
shot. The wound in the mouth is

A Job.

Itappears from the published pro-
ceedings of the legislative council that
certain printing house in the
city, not far from Jefferson street, has
secured the big contract Of printing
the mortuary report for the board of
health. There were several bidders,
but it is charged that this firm had its
bid changed after all were known. As
it was an important matter, involving
much money and the reputation Of
several gentlemen who have hitherto
stood well, committee of three was
appointed to investigate the matter.
We learn that the bill of the success
ful house was $1.75 per month for
printing the mortuary report.

Railroad Fight Between Louis
Vile and 81. Louis.

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.l
LOUISVILLE, April p. A very
important railroad meeting will be
held at Louisville on Wednesday for
the purpose of arranging rates from
Louisville and st. Louis to Columbus,
Ca, all points in Alabama and other
Green Line territory; also to points in
Texas. This is a fight between Louis
vile and St. Louis, and will be stoutly
contested. The Southwestern fight is
progressing nice!y-that is, for ship
pers. The rates are firm, something
always hailed with delight by mer-
chants, and they are greatly pleased
at the bedrock figures at which stuff
is being sent.

A step is about to be taken by the
legislative council toward paving one
OF our principal streets in substan-
tial manner with stone. Madison is
the central cross street of the city.
The new custom-house faces the west
end next to the river, and the Mem
phls and Charleston railroad depot
faces the other end proper. Much of
the heavy hauling of the city passes
over this street, and it is one Of the
main arteries Of the cotton and
general trade, besides being the
Wall street for our banking
houses and insurance companies.
The postOfice will be removed to
commodiOus and elegant quarters in
the Masonic Temple, now approaching
completion, by the 1st of May. In
many respects therefore Madison is an
important street, and it will become
all the more so when paved. We
think the policy of paving one street
at time, and that one we'll, the only
policy that should be pursued. If we
fritter away our resources upon half
a dozen streets, or in as many wards.
no permanent good will be done, and
we will never have we'll paved
street, But taking one at a time.
doing it well and paying as
we go, Memphis will have the finest
and most lasting pavements in few
years on all the principal streets. If
this course had been pursued for the
last ten years Memphis would now be
in very different condition. Looking
at the blunders of the past and the
holes IN our streets, we must pick up
courage, make a new start and make
Memphis city of which no one need
be ashamed We have the right kind
of men at the head of affairs, and look
hopefully to the future.
