THE ALsToN MURDER.
Verdict of Guilty--An Affecting
Scene.

verdict OF Gu1Ity..An Anecting
Scene.
q. ATLANTA, GA, May THE jury in
the Cox case we're out oil night. They
came in at noon to day to be recharged
In full, and at quarter to four they
came in and announced that they had
agreed upon verdict, as follows: I'VE,
the jury, find the prisoner guilty, and
recommend that he be punished by i'm
prisoment in the penitentiary for life"
Cox received the verdict with calmness,
having evidently nerved himself for the
worst. His wife, on hearing the words
so fatal to her hopes, sat for q momen,
trembling with emotion, and then rush
ed for an open window near hy, with the
purpose to throw herself to the ground
below. She was wild with grief Az
she reached the window she was caught
I by Cox, who held her fast. She threw
her arms around his neck and clung tc
him wildly, exclaiming: oh! my God
Oil my poor dsrling!" Her shrieks
we're heartrending, and the occupants o.
the crowded court room could not re.
frain from tears Of pity. Judge Hillyel
sentenced Cox to "be confined in th.
penitentiary, or such other place as the
Governor may direct. at hard labor TO-
and during bis natural life" Genera
Gottrell gave notice that the defens,
would make motion for new trial
and prayed for writ Of supersedeas. :
The execution Of the sentence Was there
fore stayed twenty days This penalt.
is virtually the extreme Of the law II
this State, as the law passed With Ais
toms aid a. The last session Of The tegis
lature, giving juries the right to recon
mend life Imprisonment in all cases o
murder, as they see fit, in effect abolisb
es the death penalty Cox thus is tn
first man convicted Of murder who re
ceives the benefit Of that law.

Webster on the Military.

Daniel Webster's opinion Of The use
Of the military in the goversment Is
worth while being recalled at Stis time
when the Republican leaders and their
representative In the White Honse are
crying "revUlution" because their con.
troll Of the military is about to be re
stricted to It's legitimate funetions.-
These are mis- words: T.
% .iite TOO frequent resort Is made to
military force, and qnite too much OF
the substance Of the people Is consumed
id maintaining armies, moi for defence
against aggression, but for enforcing
obedience 70 domestic authority. Stand
ing armies are the oppressive instruments
for governing the people in.the hands oI
hereditary ard arbitrary monarchs. A
military republic, q government founded
on mock elections, and supported ouly
By the sword, is movement indeed, bu,
= retrograde and disastrous movement
from the regular AMI old-fashiosed mon
archial systems. II men would enjoy
the blessings Of republican government,
they must govern themselves by reason
by mutual counsel and consultation, b,
. sense and feeling OF general interest
and by the aeqriescence Of the minority
10 the will OF the maj ,rity. properly ex
pressed; and above oil, the militsry mus
be kept, according to the language Of oul
hill OF rights, in strict subordination t
the civil authority. Whenever this les
son is.not both learned and practiset
there can he no political freedam. Alb
surd, prepos'erous is II. . scssfs and %
tire on free forms OF constitutional lii
erty, for frames of government to b
prescribed by military leaders and I'll,
right Of suffrage to be exercised at tn
point Of the sword" ~. :.

County Correspondence.
From Warrington Township.

NEAK GRArsyyiLLE. o May 9, 1879.
Ed SpiRIr:7The discussion. of finaI,.
-ciaf problems in general and the: Green.
back theory in particular, which has
heretofore. occnpiedthe attention of our
citizens sn exclusively, has given place
for a time, to the -di>cussion Of the r.:
cent case OF Hdrmon against Shipley.-
This man Shiptey came into the neigh.
borhood one day last February and said,
"in the presence and hearing Of divers
good people," that Alex Harmon. had
stolen half barrel of peas from the de
pot at Barncsyille, and had taken them
down and tried to sell them to Joe. Gli
rard. Now, Alex is one Of the most
truthful, uprighti honorable .eitiz-ns in
all Washington township, and the charge
thus made by a stranger was justly re-
garded as an outrage A suit for Sian
der was instituted, and when the witness
es returned on yesterday evening with
an account OF the trial and verdict, theil
report was received with good deal oi
satisfaction. SIander cases, as a grnera a
thing. are not very meritor;ous, but til.
present case was certainly an exception
Fhe circumstances under which the
words were spoken, and the indignitie,
fperpetrared by Shipley and his guild,
fand counsellor, Rowan, after the Islander
was published, were extremely aggrsvs
ting. Tue young gentlemen no douh
thought that when they. came into ,hi'
neighborhood, they were far enoug'
away from home to do; ;justas they pleas
ed. 1t was aad mistake, as they hav,
rperhapsr found to their cost They hav'
now learned that the mere fact Of thei

The 'Etection.

SAN FRANCISCO, May S.-The returns
ofthe election, IS. far as the ctsunt has
progressed, is q, complete surprise. The
city, instead Ut giving ten Thousand
aeainstthe new constitution, gives q ma
jority of less than 1000. Returns from
the country are incomplete, but indicate
that while Alamads, Sacramento :: and
most OF the mining counties have
gone against, nearly all the other agricul.
tursl counties have gone heavily for il.
Az far as heard from now the vote stands
s 300 in favor OF adoption, with, the
chance OF that majority being materially
increased. A disturbance vac feared in
the city early in the evening, but soon
quieied down. The workingmen are
jubilant over what they consider their
own particular victory.
