The trial of Cox for the murder o Colonel Alston in Atlanta has teriul Dated in a verdict of guilty. Th< evidence differed in io material poiit kfron what Was at first published One feature was the enlleavor (f (h defence to prove that tihe killing wa done In self-defenlce. Cox on th stand said that Alston had tried to go a fee out of lim for son servic claimed, and oil his reffisal dared hin to fight it out, and called him a liar Cox went to the State House and tier, met Alston. After some talk he wi going out, whieni he was pulled bact by some one and Alston began firing i) returned the fire and killet Alston. ifs testimony closed witl the words, "As God is my witness gentlemen, I did not want to kill him Before God, no man caun regret it nore than I do." As he went to his seat tears were in hils eyes mid the nlience was aibeted. Ills plea Is that a con. spiracy was formed to kill him be. canse he threatened to dlivulge some sharp practice about the penitentiary lease. Ills story is not credited. Crowding the Indians. President Ilayes liar relaxed for the moment his vigilant watch on 'the Confedlerate Brigadiers and has turned his attention to tie ldian Territorv. By the most solemn treaties the po' session of this territory is guaranteed to the Indians fr'ee frou nolestation by white set:lers. In the past frew months, however, quite a tide of im migration lis been pouring into it from the border States, the ring-leader of the movement being one Carpenter, who was the pioneer of the imumigra tion that wrested the Black Hills ftom the Indians. I'rsident hlaves has by proclamation warned all persons from squatting on the Indian lands, and General Sheridan has reeeived orders to proceed at once to the spot and re move. without delay, parley or argum ment all trespassers found there. All Immigrants are to be met on the bor ders of the territory by General Sheridan and turned back. It is to be hoped that the President will not relax his vigilance In thiA matter. The I.ndlans have been shamnefilly wrong ed heretofore, and the present attempt to steal their lands after they have settled and become civilized, would be a great outragr. A Trojan Horse. It is refresing to see that the Demo * ~ crate in Congress hav'e succeeded in throwing the Rladicals on the dlefen shve. The resolution introdneced ini the I louse by [add, Gr~ eenbacker, and in the Senate by Eaton, simiply and plali lyeenting thme use of troops ait the polls, has made the stalwaurts equirm a little. As long as they could befog and conceal the true issue, they were arrogant and audacious. llut the new bill inects all of thme P'resI dent's objections, and compels him and is party to meet the Issue squmre ly, whether or not troops shall be stationed at the polls6. It is not err * prising therefore that the Rtadicals inm Congress had a storamy caucns, anid that the President is said to be willing to approve Ladd's bill. Since the time of George II. the presence of * ~ troops8 at elections has been held re pugnant to theo idleas of liberty enter tained by all English-speaking people; and however revolutionary the lHadi calq may be, andl however anxiouse to crowd the South with troops In 1880, they cn hardly have the efl'rontery and hardihood to proclaim their pu'rpose boldly. One of the IRadical Congress men alluded to the new bill as a "Trw j tn Horse," and it 1 o& 8 as if it may bring hmarmu on the Rlepublican party. The Democrats can now entjoy * ~ the hlofo ir a while at least. John Sherman. Secretary Sherman is In a beatific * fr'amo of mind, lie denies that hmis recent visit to Ohio was pronmpted by any intention of securing the guberna torial nomination for himself, as has been charged. Hie says that the lRe publicans will carry Ohio any howv, thanks to his finauetal policy, and that he is needed in the treasury to carry :1 resumption Io final success. Of course hie glorified himself and the party at length on thme sn'eeess of placing' the four per cont. bonds. 11o then dwelt upon Democratic peorfidy-,and made the startling assertion that "Int South Carolina more votes were cast last fall than there wore men, wVomenm, chil dren, cats and dogs in the State." lHaving gotten off this whopper, the 8ecretary came down somewhat from hie high horse, and admuittedi that there aro such things as States after all, and youchsatfbd the following remarks: "The States have great poWei's widch Congress cannot lnterfbre with.
