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 : \VlicivßH, Preienw of troop* at tho ih*llr in con trary to tin* spirit of our institutions ami the trmli tioiJH of our people, and tend* to destroy the* freedom of election* : therefore Be it enacted, etc , That it fchall not be lawful to or employ at any place w here ft general or hjmv cial election is tain# held in a State, any part of the army or navy of the I'nitcd States, unleaa sut h force* he necessary to repel armed enemies of the l otted Sta U-s. or to enforce section four of article four ot the of the United State* ami lawn made in pursuance thereto, on application of the or tin* executive of a State, where nuch force i* to be used and so much of all laws a* ia in couttict herewith in hereby repealed. 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 Ftntc HVe Gorgin. IVES & THOMAS, 42 &44 WHITEHALL ST., - - - ATLANTA, BA, LEADING FURNITURE HOUSE IN GEORGIA!

Some of the papers urge that the jury in the Cox-Alston case should not nave recommended imprisonment for life. The jury thought different—they studied the ca ’e—knew more about its bearings, and perhaps were as well calculated to render a correct verdict and make a just recom mendation as the newspapers. At any rate the jury will prevail, growl the news papers never such a growl. Franklin Register: The people of Hart seem greatly interested in the building of a narrow-gauge railroad from Hartwell to Bowersville, and we can .see no reason why they should not build it. There is surely no man i:i that county win is not proud of his county site—for it is decidedly the prettiest town in the State—and there is not a single tax-payer in the county who should refuse to give something to its building up and advancement. Let our people of Franklin county arouse them selves now and sec if they cannot have a road built to Carncsville by the time the Hartwell road is completed. The Eastman Times has the following under the head of " Strange Coincidence " On Saturday, the 19th ult., a little ne gro girl, about seven years old, fell through the mill house at John McCranie's mill in this county, while they were turning loose water, anu was rapidly carried through the gate and safely lodged on a stump sonic forty yards below without injury.” We fail to sec where the ”coincidence ” comes in.—Gainesville Eagle. Oh, have patience ; time enough for the “ coincidence ” when another negro girl fulls through the mill and lodges on a stump same as she use to was. 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. Hart Couuty Singing Convention.
