Democratic ship Of State in Tennessee
SO that it could weather the waves and
sail safely into port. That he had a
hand 10 it will not be denied. He
goes further and says Harris was not
the Captain. aud only jumped aboard
at the last moment. The Legislature
will have to settle that question-at

He Relates His Experience al

Future Intentions.

CAPTAIN Ed. Cox, who was in the
Dade coal mines serving out a life sen
tence for killing Colonel Aston IN
Atlanta on the 9TH OF March, 1879,
and who was pardoned by Governor
Stephens last Monday, passed through
the city yesterday, accompanied by his
wife, who carried him the pardon that
gave him his liberty, and his son, who
has been bis constant companion since
he went to the mines more than two
years ago.
As soon as be stepped from the
train a Times reporter met him and
asked Captain Cox to tell him some
thing of his life at the mines.
II was taken to the mines, said
CAPTAIN Cox, on the 9Th Of May, 1880,
TO serve out a life time sentence,
Shortly after my arrival ! was put in
charge of the stock, and have been
acting in that capcity ever since. Told
the principal keeper Of the mines that

leave the mines except on an hOnora
bic discharge. To show what conf
dence they had in me, on one occasion
a convict stole a mule; | was detailed
to 20 after him and followed him for a
week, aud captured him in Alabama
in about a week alte~rwards,and carried
him back to the mines My wife re-
ceived the pardon from Governor
Stephens last Tuesday and arrived at
she mines W Wednesday. | was then a free
man as soon as the pardon was read,
but several matters delayed my leaving
until to-day. My son Willie has been

and was employed by the company tC

comfort to me l wore the regulation
suit Of convicts aud did q great dea
of work, more than if lad been in the
mines. l worked often at midnighI
and made a little extra money, which
| sent to my children, whom | have no
seen since | went to prison"
"What do you propose doing now?
asked the reporter.
II haven't fully decided. All OF m.
money was spent during my trial, and
TO day, although a free man, | havl
not a dollar in the world, but give m
freedom always"
was there any opposition to you
pardon?"
II have heard that a son of Colone
Aston was somewhat opposed to ii
but cannot speak with any certainty
However, l am free, and in sevel
hours, flank God, | will be with m.
dear children"
Captain Cox is about forty years 0
age, is of medium hight, and has blac.
hair and hazel eyes. He is an exceed
ingly courteous and polite gentleman
, and is very intelligent. His conine
hent has not affected him to any az
-, parent extent, and he appears to be j
. good health. While waiting for tn
Z train to leave, Mrs. Cox, who was i
the cars, seemed to watch every move
ment Of her husband, and seemed |
never tire Of looking at him, and he
face wore a look Of supreme cOnteI
!. over his pardon.
Captain Cox was a lessee of Il
Georgia p%enitentiary, and the QUAR-
between him and Aston was in refe

FASHIONS OLD AND NEW.


Kings, poets, ecclesiastics and his
torians, as we'll as numerous playrights
and feuilletonists, have left behind
them the record Of their impression
of art In woman's dress. From La
Bdvere, who asserts that ut shows as
much weakness to fly from fashion as
to follow il closely, and Montesquieu,
who says that a lady OF fashion desir-
ing a new gown is a more potent
commander than a Shah of Persia,
because from that moment City arti.
sans have to 60 without sleep or leis.
ure either to eat or drink, philoso
pliers have made this a subject of
profound speculation. A history Of
fashion in France is necessarily Of
fashion everywhere, and to follow the
modes Of primitive Gaul down through
successive ages until the moment Of
their eflorescence under the fair
hands OF Marie Antoinette and Euge
ME, is to follow the delusive transfer
nations Of Proteus himself. 1t is a
fact, however, hat while the type of
dress scarcely changes within the
limits Of a century, its adjuncts and
characteristics vary frequently every
year. In the toilet OF a Merogovin
gian lady OF high degree, we trace a
foreshadowing OF the modern tight
fitting, close clinginDg Jersey bodies,

A TALK WITH SENATOR MA.
HONE.
The Virginia ElectiOn-Secre-
taFyAhIp of the Senate
Tobacco Tax.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator
Malone occupied his seat in the
Senate to-day for the first time this
session. He said to a Tribune cor
respondent that the Coalitionists Of
Virginia were pretty wellsatisfed with
the result of their campaign, although
they thought they ought to have been
given one more Congressman. They
would have had another but for the
methods adopted by the Bourbons.
For instance, the Senator added, they
delayed opening polls in some ~inntances
until II O'clock. and in others roughs
gathered about, firing of pistols and
making other riotous demonstrations,
so chat timid veters were scared away
and did not vote.
The correspondent asked il il was
true, as reported, that Malone and
Senator-elec Riddleberger would
demand Of the Republicans the
election of Mr.. Gorham as Secretary
Of the Senate. IL have heard nothing
of such a report" replied Senator
Malone. u have never had any
conversation with Captain Riddle.

ested in the rebate than in the reduc

question upon which the prosperity q
the tobacco men depends to a grea
extent, and its discussion ought /

begin even to talk about reducing til
tax, commerce 10 tobacco ceases to

under the high tax, and which vii
fall at once to the extent Of the redue

This Is apt to follow even the discus

Ii became necessary yesterday
for DR.. Townsend the physician in

II was thought imprudent to allow

his assistants to sign the afidayits on
