Argument in the Cox case began this morning. The court room was tilled to its utmost ca pacity with, ladies and distinguisnea people from all parts of the State. J udge Twiggs, of Augusta, opened for the prosecution.-. He declared the time had come when every interest of humanity and of civil law and State character de manded a more rigid enforcement of the law. and the outraged people would hold juries to, a strict discharge of their duties, under their oaths.. When speak ing counsel referred to the" great public interest felt in the case throughout the .Union. Judge Hillyer stopped counsel and ruled that argument must be con fined to the facts of the case from wit nesses. Hon. Joel Billups, a kinsman to Cox, opened for'the defense and mov ed the jurv .to tears by his pathetic deal ing with the ease. His argument was to show that Cox's statement gave the truth of the case and" he shot Alston in self-defense, Mr. R. S. Jeffries follow ed for the defense on the same line.

In reply to questions by Hawley, of Connecticut, he stated that the garrison of Fort Pillow numbered 577 men, of whom about 40. percent, were saved; that about 300 were killed and wounded and about 250 on the Confederate side. Remarks were made by Garfield as to the impolicy of re-opening the subject, witn tne intimation tnat me omcers were not so responsible as had at first been supposed. But, the general im pression at the time had been strength ened by the order issued about three weeks previously by Gen.

Cox Sentenced to the Penitentiary for Lfe His Wife's Wild Grief Motion for a New Trial. 's Atlanta. Ga- Mav 7. The jury in the Cox case were out all night and came in at noon to-day to be re-charged in full. At a quarter to 4p.rn. they came in and announced i that they had agreed upon a verdict. It was detained to Correct an informality, and was then read as follows : "We, the jury, find the Erisoner guilty and recommend that he e punished by imprisonment, for life." Cox received the verdict with calm ness and stoicism, having evidently nerved himself for the worst. His wife, on hearing the words so fatal to her hopes, sat for a moment trembling, and then rushed for the open window near by for the purpose of throwing herself to the ground Deiow. one was wuu with crrief. As she reached the window she was caught by Cox, who held her fast. She threw her arms around . - i 1 M Jl his necK and ciung to mm wuuiy, exclaiming: "Oh, my God!

Cox used all his power to calm her and finally soothed her grief until only her deep moans broke upon the solemn stillness. Judge Hillyer sentenced jox to ue confined in the penitentiary or such other place as the Governor may direct, at hard laoor ior ano during ms natural life. .. . Gen. Gartrell gave notice that the de fence would make a motion for a new trial and praying a writ of supersedeas. The execution ol the sentence, mere- fore, was stayed twenty days. This penalty is virtually tne extreme of the law in this State as the law pass ed with Alston's aid at the last session of the Legislature, giving jurors the right to recommend the life imprison ment in all cases of murder as they see fit, in effect abolishes tne death penalty. Cox is the first man convicted of mur der who receives the benefit of that law. The verdict is received with general approval. .
