[Copy]
Executive Department, State
of Geos/ma, - Atlanta, Ga., De
cember 11, 1882—To the Princi
pal Keeper of the Penitentiary:
Whereas, At the March term, 18-
79, of the superior court of Fulton
county, Edward Cox was convict
ed of the offense of murder and
sentenced for life in the peniten
tiary, and
Whereas, numerous petitions
from various parts of the state,
have been presented to me, num
bering hundreds in all, embracing
many eminent citizens, lawyers,
jurist, merchants, bankers, mini; -
ters of the Gospel, journalists,
mechanics and farmers and includ
ing a majority of tlib house of
representative and two-thirds of
the senate, of the present assem
bly, asking executive clemency in
his behalf, and
Whereas, These exist in the
minds of several distinguished
lawyers, jurist and others, at the
time of the conviction, doubts as
to the grade of the crime, under
the laws of the state, in view of
evidence for which he was con
victed, and
Whereas, Many of the same
class, as well as others, still enter
a i and express doubts on that
point, and
Whereas, My own views of the
case, after the m< >st mature consid

the testimony, coincide in the
main with the views expressed by
the majority of the petitioners, I
deem it clemency invoked, it is,
therefore; ordered,
That the said Edward Cox, be,
and is hereby, pardoned, discharg

penalty under said sentence.
Given under my hand and

ed cox and his family.
The pardon which is printed
above will doubtless cause a more
profound sensation than was ever
caused by such a paper in Georgia
before. It removes the shackles
from a man who five years ago
was prosperous and happy, with a
little fortune of ten or twelve
thousand dollars and a troop of
bright and happy children, five in
number. It places him again in
the world free, but it finds him
without a single dollar. He starts
life indeed anew. His little for
tune has long since been swallow
ed up. Three thousand or so went
to lawyers fees and most of the
other wpnt to satisfy creditors. He
steadfastly ( refusal to permit his
wife to homstead, and soon after
his incarceration she was found
without a shelter of her own. Mrs.
Cox began taking boarders and
thrown on her own resources sup
ported herself as best she could.
In June of last year, she had quite
a serious accident beiail her. She
was drawing water at the well
when the iron windlass flew out
of her hand. The crank strut:
her on the forehead and inflicted a
nearly fatal wound. !he skui 1
was crushed, aud there is now a
hole in the forehead nearly large
enough to bury an almond in. Mrs.
Cox wears bangs to hide the spot.
Captiau Cox has one or his sons
with him. Willie, a bright boy of
ten, is the courier-general of the
camp, aud does all the riding
alxmt that is needed. He has
thus been a help to the family.
Victoria, a pretty girl of thirteen
or fourteen is the oldest child
W T illie is second. Then follows
Lou Din, E<l and Stephen. They
are remarkably bright and good
looking children. With the ex
cep’ion of Willie’ None of them
I have seen their father since the
Dawson, Ga., Thursday, December 21,1882.
7th of May, 1880, the day before
he was taken to the coal mines.
Mrs. Qox will go up to Dade coal
i mines to-day and will probably
! return with Captain Cox to-mor
row. There will bo great rejoic
ing in that household when the
father gets there to-m< rrow. .
When Cox was taken to the
coal mines he was. 37 years oM,
five feet eight inches high, had
long black hair and hazel eyes.
He fattened at one time, but it is
said that ho is now twenty pounds
lighter tlin usual. He still
wears whiskers.
A TALK WITH MRS. COX.
Mrs. Cox was not in Atlanta
yesterday as gjho was not expect
ing the governor to take action on
the petition so soon. Last night
a reporter went down to Decatur
and talked with her on the all ab
sorbing theme of the household.
Mrs. Cox was found the oentre of
a group of friends who had called
in to congratulate her. The re
porter asked her when she expect
ed Captain Cox to arrive at home.
She replied:
“I shall go to Atlanta to-mor
row and get the pardon and will
leave on the half-past two o’clock
tain for Coal City. Captain Cox
will return with me on the first
train that will bring us home.”
“Will the children accompany
you?”
• “No. It was their father’s wish
that they might never see him in
a convict’s garb. So tiiat they
will have to wait until he can
come back to them as he left them
—in citizens clothes.”
‘“Then the statement that Capt-
Cox has never worn a convict's
suit is not true?”
“Certainly it is not true. I
have visited him twice, once in
October 1810, and once in Octo
ber 1881, and at each visit I found
him with the regular suit on. I
could not have told him from any
of the other convicts, he was so
covered with dust.”
“What has Capt. Cox been do
ing at the mines?”
“He had the management of the
stock and feed, gave out the corn
for the mill and had general man
agement around the stables and
barn. He also voluntarily milked
far the superintendent. His work
was harder and required more
hours than working in the coal
mine, but he said that he was wil
ling to that because by being out
of the mine he could meet any
persons who might happen along
and who seeing his condition
might have their sympathies
aroused in his behalf.”
“Is it true that Capt. Cox re
ceived a stipulated sum of money
from the company every month?”
“Not at all. He has never re
ceived directly or indirectly any
money except some that he work
ed extra hours for last winter.
Last winter he worked until late
at night—l think until eleven
o’clock —and received the usual
pay of twenty-five cents per night.”
“What will Capt. Cox do when
he reaches home?”
“I have no idea. Ido not know
whether he has any plaits arrang
ed or not.”
Mrs. Cox was serenaded last
night by the Decatur band.
THE KILLING OF ALSTON.
The details cf the homicide for
which Ed Cox was sentenced to a
lifetime imprisonment were fully
published at the time of the trage
dy and were given at great length
in the shape of evidence when the
case came up for trial. On Tues
day, March 11, 1879, Ed Cox and
Colonel Robert A. Alston became
involved in a difficulty over a con
vict lease which took a serious
turn. The two men, subsequent
ly met in the office of the then
state treasurer, Mr. Ilenfroe. i’he
difficulty was renewed. Colonel
Alston said to Cox:
“Mr. Cox, I don’t want to have
any difficulty witn you about this
matter, and there is no need for it
Let mis drop it now. It will do
you no good to kill me, aud do me
no good to kill you —not a bit in
th“ world.”
Cox persisted, however, and in
vited Alston out of doors to fight.
Alston declined and said he want*
ed no difficulty. Oox replied, it
is said, that he should have one.
Alston said that if he must he
supposed ho would have to. Al
ston asked Cox if he wanted to be-
gin it right there. Cox replied
that was as good a place as any.
He went to the door and closed it.
He then turned and walked back
toward Alston, and simultaneous
ly the two men drew and began
firing. The firing was very rapid.
Alston used a self-cocking revolv
er and Cox used a powerful
“swamp Angel.” One of Alston’s
balls struck Cox in the mouth and
tore away several of his teeth.
Cox dodged with great dexterity
and evadod Alston’s. Finnally
Alston had exhausted his weapon,
and when he paused Cox arose
and fired his second shot The
ball penetrated Alston’s right
temple about an inch from a
level with the eye. It ranged
through the brain and lodged un
der the scalp at the back of the
head. Colonel Alston reeled fell
and bled profusely. At forty
minutes {last six Colonel Alston
expired.
Senator Brown’s Views.
(Special to the Constitution.)
Washington, December 5, 1882.
The correspondent of the Constitu
tion called on Senator Brown, at his
lodgings, to-night, and asked him if
ho had heard that the Legislature of
Georgia had rejected liis donation
to the Slate University. He said he
had not. The reporter stated that
lie had learned by a dispatch from
the Constitution that, such was tko
fact, and asked what wool l now be
his course. He replied that he re
gretted very much to hear it, as ho
had matured the plan with great
care, and felt that it would have
resulted in a l immense benefit to
Georgia The interest on the $50.-
000 being loaned each year to poor
but worthy young men struggling to
obtain an education, they to pay four
per cent, on it would bo virtually
compound'ng it after the first year,
in each case at eleven per cent. At
this rate it would double i self in
about twelv'j years. But suppose a
considerable part of it should not he
paid back by the students who get
the benefit, it would be eafo to say it
would double in twenty years. Then
the SIOO,OOO would double again at
the end of forty years, the $200,-
000 would double at the end of sixty
years, the s•' 00,000 at end of
eighty yoars, the SBOO,OOO would be
come $1,000,000 at the end of a
hundred \ oars, and the tiret twenty
years of the second century the sl,-
600,000 would amouut to $3,200,000.
In the life-time of a university this
would make a fund large enough to
aid most of tha energetic poor young
men of the State who might desire
an education. I therefore regret
that the Legislature should, from
any considerations, deny this benefit,
to the struggling youth of Georgia.,
Reporter—“l have not seen the
debates, but heard the objection
made before I left, that you gave to
your four sons each the right daring
his life-time to designate one of the
voung men who should have the ben
efits, and that you gave them the
right of visitation to see that the
trust is faithfully administered, and
uot only to them but to their suc
cessors.”
Senator Brown —“As I was mak
ing what seemed to me to be a liber
al gift to the cause of education,
and as there had to be some mode
of selecting the beneficiaries, it seems
to me to be net unreasonable that
each one, of my four sous should,
during his life-time, have the priv : -
lege of selecting one young man
who should have the benefits. The
money comes out of my estate which,
.recording to the ordinary course,
would havefal en-to them by inheri
tance, and i ti e ight that privilege a
small thing. In a few years the
fund would be iarge enough to edu
cate a hundred young men constant
ly at the University, and why should
the public object to my sons securing
four of them? As to the right of
visitation it is common in almost all
donations of this character. It simp
ly requires a person who has the
right to look to it that the fund is
not squandered but faithfully admin
istered. —My plan gave the right of
visitation to my four sons and the
survivors of them, with the right in
his discretion to name a person by
his will who would still have the
right of visitation, hut, there is no
provision made to extend it beyond
th it. In other words, the right of
venation : s provided for, for two
generations only. After the fund
lias been faithfully administered
that long, the Supposition is that it
would be faithfully administered

perpetually in future. The period
for the visitation ns provided for is
nothing when compared with the life
of a university, which runs through
centuries.”
Reporter—“But I have heard it
objected to by some persons that the
State ought not to pay seven per
cent, interest on the fund."
Senator Browu—“There is a law of
the State now ou the statute book
which provides that whenever a bond
of the Stuteowned by the University
matures, it shall be the Governor to
take it up and issue in lieu of it a
seven per cent, bond of the State
running for fifty years, interest paya
ble semi annually. I followed the
exact plan which I found on the
statute book of my State. The only
difference is that the statute applies
to the renewal of the bonds of the
State owned by the University, and I
proposed to increase the fund of the
University bv a donation of $50,000
ou precisely the same terms that ap
plied to the matured State bonds
now owned by it. The Constrtuu.ua
of the State clearly makes it the duty
of the Legislature to encourage tho
University. It seems to rue not
unreasonable when a citizen will do
nate $50,000 to it, that the State
should eueourage it so fa. as to take
the fuudaud pry the ivt of interest
which by hey statute, she has fixed
as the legal rate between man aud
man, and the very rate she has fixed
iu the case of the bonds now owned
by the University, as tire interest
paid by her goes to aid her own
ohildreu in their edutation, and does
uot come to me.”
Reporter—“ Have you auy objec
Lion to saying at present what com e
pou will now take iu the promises ? ’
Senator Browu—“Probably it is
not tho best time to talk ou the sub
ject. My intention is to appropriate
$50,0(30 to aid in the education of
iudigeut young men, who have t >
struggle as Iliad to struggle at their
age. I greatly perfer to give the
benefits of this help to the youth of
Georgia, but if my own State rejects
the donation I shall most probably
offer it to some other State upon pre
cisely 7 the same terms proposed to the
State of Georgia.”
Reporter—“ What other State
would you probably select
Senator Brown —“I may reserve
that for future reflection. My pres
ent inclination is to tender it lo
South Carolina, my native State. I
have no fear about being able to find
a State that will be glad to accept it
and give her youth the benefit of it.J
Reporter—“ What do you think
will be the effect of the rejection up
on those who vote against the accep
tance 1”
Senator Brown —“That is not a
question for me to decide. I shall
leave it with them and their con
stituents to settle whether they have
acted wisely in refusing to accept this
donation for the benefit of the youth
of our own State and thereby com
pelling mo in order to carry out my
plan and devote it to the cause of
education, to give it to another S'ato-
I shall not, however, be baffled in
tnv purpose, I intend the money to
aid the youth of my country, in ob
taining an education. I should much
have preferred that the youth of my
own State could have had the bene
fit.”
Reporter—“l have heard some con
stitutional objections raised. Is
ihere any difficulty on tha> point?”
Senator Brown —“Not the slight
est. The Constitution of the State
expressly permits the State to incur
a debt to pay maturing bon is of 'he
State, at any time wh- n they may
fall due. Over three millions will
soon fall due, the same year. No
body supposes we shall bo taxo 1 to
pay tuem ail. That year new bonds
will be issuod and put ou the market
to raise most of too money. Tu '
bill in tliis case provnl i.; for p tying
the money into tuo Treasury to bo
used iu the payment of the maturing
bonds of the State It can bo done
constitutionally and legally in that
way* or it could be received in pay
meat of any deficiency that might
arise in the Treasury, and the lion I t
issued for it a-, contemplated by the
bill Tiie law already ou the statute
applicable to the university st n .s
upon precisely the sumo ground, an 1
no good lawyer has questions 1 its
constitutionality. There is therefore,
ao difficulty whatever ou the con
stitutional question. The wnole
tenor and spirit of the Constitution
show that the object of the framers
as that he Legislature should en
courage primary e lueatio < aid the
State Un’versity. A .i-1 issued for
such a donation falls, therefore, in

bill as introduced in this ease >aiis
wiluiu the very letter of it.
f i lie Culture of Jute*.
Several weeks ago, we printed in
• these columns some interesting facts in
regard to the invention of a machine
for the more perfect and rapid produc
tion of the jute fibre for market. Since
then the attention of many influential
men engaged either in the sale or the
manufacture of juterope, bagging, etc.
has been attached to this machine, and
the general impression is that it is an
invention as important in its way as the
discovery of the principle of the cotton
gin. The machine has been put to
some very severe tent*, and through
them all it worked admirably. It is
regarded as successful, and if this is,
the case, it will, at no distant day,
work an important revolution in south
ern agriculture, giving to our farmers
another staple, which will oome to be
almost as important in the commerce
of the country and of the world as cot
ton itself.
A New York merchant, Mr. John
Sloane. who has great experience in
the jute trade, says there is no limit to
the consumption of jute. No ipatter
how large the crops are there seems
never to be any large surplus. About
sixty years ago, the firs* jute was car
ried from. India to England. It was
simply an experiment, and an experi
ment that worked its way slowly. Fif
teen years ago 850,000 t 0900,000 bn'es
was a fair average crop. The crop of
last your was iu the neighborhood of
2,500,000 bales, and it is thought that
this year’s crop is still larger, Aough
how much larger Mr . Sloan dees not
pretend to estimate, owing to the dii
fiimbv of <rettiog accurate information
from India. But as prices are low, in
iio ol • 1 >c good demand, ‘ thefe is no
uoub ba>. (be present is the largest
erop ~f jute ever produced.
So far us the growth of jute in the
soul.. acerned,Colonel Richard Pe
ters ;... demonstrated that it will
flourish in a latitude as high as that of
Gordon county, and this latitude cov
ets every change of temperature known
to the southern climate. He has de
monstrated also that ramie will grow
in that latitude, and he has sent sam
plos of this plant to be worked up in
Mr. Sinitu’s machine The planting of
jute seed may begin in the south as
early as April and continue at periods
of two weeks or a month until July.
From three to three and a half months
after planting the plaut begins to blos
som, and this is the period for working
up the crop—the first planting passing
through the machine in July, the sec
ond aud perhaps the third planting in
August, and so on from July to No
vember, the machine working all tho
time. This would give a sure money
crop to the farmers in the middle of the
summer, a ti ne when money is very
scarce with those who raise cnly cot
ton. Like everything else, however,
the planting aud marketing of juto is a
business In which euccess will only fol
low experience and economy.
The water-rotting process applied to
the fibre after it passes through the
Smith machine merely dissolves the
green gum which holds the threads or
filaments together in pencils. The gum
unites and passes off with the water,
leaving each thread free, and the mass
soft like fifc flax, and the ooior nearly
white. This process <>f rotting, appli
ed to the fibre, instead of the whole
stalk as they do in India, gives the fi
bre the same ooior and texture as the
Indian jute, without the great trouble
and expense of handling the whole
stalks together to get the benefit of
this separation of the gum from the fi
bro.
The jute of commerce is kn(*w by
its coler, produced by waier-rtfftiog-
The trade rejects any other color. Mr.
Daniel Dennett, writiug to the New
Orleans Picayune, furnishes some fig
ures that are inter- -ting in connection
with jute : Beforo the era of iron ties
Kentucky and Missouri furnished the
material tor tying cotton hales; n..*w
England furnishes a large share of th*
cotton tics for the southern cotton crop.
India furnishes the material that cov
ers about 6,000.000 bales of southern
cotton; the i’hillipine Islands furnish
the material that binds western grain
crops; India also furni hes the mate
rial that fur our grain sacks and wool;
and Dundee, in Scot.and, manufactures
nearly ad of them. Now that is fully
deim n-tr>ted that jute can bo grown
in almost imitless quan ities in the
southern st:it*s, at a small expense, m
successful competition with India*
there is an opportunity to build up
another American industry as impor
tant as that of cotton, wool, iroD, or
any oilier southern industry. And ih*
jute orop, from the seed to the bale, is
much better adapted to the present
character of southern labor than cotton
s-gar, rice or tobacco.—Atlanta Consti
