THE GREAT TRIAL ESDED.
After seven long, wearisome days in the
court room, during which time the fate ol
Edward Cox, the murderer of Col. Alston,
was trembling in the balances, the calm is
again restored and the result of the inves
tigation has gone forth to the world. The
defense of the prisoner was thorough, able
and exhaustive, the charge of Judge Hillyer
to the jury plain, clear, and fully sustained
by the law, and the investigations and de
liberations of the jury full and impartial.
By their verdict they say that Edward Cox
committed murder, and recommended thal
he be punished bv imprisonment for life.
The grade of punishment was allowed by
the jury liy virtue of a law passed at the
last session of the General Assembly, of
which law Col. Alston was a warm udvo
catc. It is a remarkable coincidence that
the first criminal that reaped the clemency
allowed by the law was Alston's murder
er. The trial created the most general in
terest in the annals of court trials. All
over the United States the public was
deeply interested, ami the public feelingly
looked on with feverish anxiety while the
iterations were held. That public senti
ment demanded that the majesty of the law
should be vindicated, is not to be denied.
It was not a poisoned, inflamed, passion
driven sentiment, such as swayed the mob.
which in olden tunes cried out, *• Crucify
him ! crucify him !” but it was a rational,
commendable feeling, which springs from
the hearts of a people that arc opposed to
murder, bloodshed and lawlessness in all
its forms, and who pay homage to the great
principles of law and order. That pun
ishment severe and speedy should be in
flicted for such a terrible crime was not
only demanded by the blood of Alston,
which cried from the ground, but it was
necessary to vindicate our Southern civili
zation. and show to the world that otir
laws shall be enforced. Wo have no fault
to find with the verdict, in the discretion
allowed by law the jury saw lit to recom
mend imprisonment for life. The public
ought to tie satisfied, and we believe that
it is satisfied. Verdicts of juries arc sa
cred things, and ought not to be recklessly
impugned. After a close observation and
an experience of several years, we are well
satisfied in the conclusion that the verdicts
of juries (when free from all undue influ
ences and the law is fairly given in charge)
arc almost invariably right.
THE PLACE FOR INVESTMENT.
A* will be seen in another column, the
contract for constructing tho Hartwell
Railroad has been completed, and that
work will commence at an early day.
The parties that have obligated themselves
to construct the road are among the first
citizens in our county, in point of enter
prise, influence, and pecuniary ability, and
it is fair in conclude that the road will lie
in running order at farthest by the Ist of
January next. With this road built, (and
it is now a certainty) Hart county will be
the most desirable county in ticorgia. Her
lands are fertile, the climate remarkably
healthy, the purest water that can be
found anywhere in the universe, and Hart
well, the county site, is one of the loveli
est little villages in the btnto of Georgia.
Every one who visits tho place is pleased
with it, and all who have once resided here
cannot live contented anywhere else. The
town is level, well shaded, with a high gray
soil, free from mud in the rainiest weather.
Hartwell will be the business center of a
tine section of country, including the Tu
galo Bend, the Savannah valley, <£c., and
will draw a large amount of trado from
South Carolina. Real estate around Hart
well and town property can be bought on
reasonable terms. Those who wish to east
their fortunes in a pleasant and business
section, can find no better place. With
the Hartwell Railroad constructed, and
placed, as we will be, in close railroad con
nection with Atlanta, New York anil all
the outside world, Hartwell and Hart
county will become the Eden spot of our
fair Southern laud. If any doubt the facts
herein contained, we cordially invite them
to come and examine for themselves.
THE ARMY HILL.
Mr. Hayes, having vetoed the army ap
propriation bill, and m his message having
put a very far-fetched construction on the
same, in that he claimed that it went so far
as to prohibit the use of the militia by the
civil authorities to preserve order at elec
tions, Congress lias very properly served
up the bill according to the taste of the
President. The following is the full text
of the bill as modified by Congress and
sent to Mr. Haves. It will he seen that it
prohibits expressly the Army nnd Navy of
the United States from being employed at
the polls. It remains to he seen whether
Mr. Hayes, for the sake of retaining pow
erful agencies for evil, in order to promote
his party domination, will again interpose
his veto against the very just demands of
of a peaceful and liberty-loving people :

GALA TIMES.
During last week Atlanta was the the
ater of busy and active life. The Cox
trial, which has created such a wide-spread
sensation, was being terminated: the Bap
tist Convention was in session ; the medi
cal fraternity was convened, ami the city
was certainly filled to overflowing. From
the splendid manner in which the people of
Atlanta entertained her numerous guests,
she has given another exhibition of her
great progressivencss. liberality and whole
souled generosity of her citizens. From
actual experience, we know that there are
no people iu existence who understand bet
ter how to do things up just right. What
ever they undertake they do so with a zeal
end make it a success. A great city like
Atlanta is finely suited to illustrate agreat

Letter from Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga., May 9, 1879.
Your correspondent arrived in the city
of Atlanta last Saturday. Atlanta retains
her usual fame for thrift, energy and en
terprise even at this season of business
contraction.
The last week has been one of very great
interest. The streets have been thronged
with the learned M. D.’s of dignified mien,
and yesterday the twenty-fourth session of
the Southern Baptist Convention met in
the First Baptist Church of this city—
some 2G3 delegates present.
The case of the State vs. Edward Cox
has been disposed of. after eight days of
unabated interest and expectation, which
has resulted in the conviction of the de
fendant and a recommendation from the
jury that he he imprisoned in the State
penitentiary for life. During the argu
; inent of the case the court room was filled
j to overtlowing with the largest audience
| peHps ever gathered within the halls of
a Georgia courthouse. The case was pre
sented from both sides with great skill to
j the jury. Gen. Gartrell added new lau
rels and honors to his already famous
j escutcheon as a criminal pleader; and in
deed it has been said by many that his
! speech in defence of Ed. Cox was the
I closest, most logical, most eloquent and
convincing appeal for the vindication of a
client charged with the high crime of mur
der ever delivered in the State of Georgia.
Judge Hillyer’s charge was a clear, logj
am! impartial presentation of tho case.
The verdict was suspended until the court
hears n motion for new trial by defendent’s
counsel.
The case ot the State vs. Hill, charged
with murder will perhaps be called week
after next.
Send on your railroad men. Atlanta is
ever willing to build up her trade, and
a good subscription can bo made tip for
the Hartwell Railroad. T. T. 11.
