9 iliilteuu’ft Speech.
The speech tlmt tiuitcau wrote
in his cell, anil which Judge Cox
refused to bo allowed given to the
jury, has been published through
the press. Quitcau says it contains
his true defence, and ho repudiates
the defence given by his lawyers.
He hopes Judge Cox will yet con
clude to let him deliver it, and if
not, he is satisfied the court in
bano will reverse the decision.
The speech starts out with the
declaration that lie stands before
the jury as a patriot, suffering in
tbc bonds for an net that was done
for the good of tbc American peo
ple. Much of it lias been heard
before in his testimony and in bis
various addresses to the public from
jail. Some rhetorical passages it
contains have appeared again and
again in the utterances in and out
of court, lie reasserts Hint the
Deity inspired him, pictures the
political situation at llie lime, de
clares that there have been several
interferences by Providence in his
liehnlf, and threatens dire tilings to
the American people il he, as the
representitivo of the Deity, is in
jured. He tells the jury that it is
their duty to acquit him anil so
vindicate his inspiration. He claims
that he was insane when he shot
the President, and just as soon as
it was done the pressure on his
mind was relieved. So rash an act,
lie argues, could only have been
the work of a madman.
He quotes many letters to him,
to show, as he says, that public
opinion lias changed in his favor,
lie denounces tbc testimony of
tho experts as worthless, and stig-
. unitizes that of certain other wit
nesses as false.
His closing appeal to tbc jury
ends with the statement that when
the President was shot the Cabinet
olllccrs telegraphed to Kuropc that
it was the net of a madman, and lie
thinks that il will he far better ev
ery way if il is now olllcinlly dc
eided that il was Hie act of a mad
man.
According to Henry Kichnrdson,
the talented Washington corres
pondent of the Atlanta Constilu-
lion, the programme of the admin
istration is to consolidate all the
mili-Bourbon elements in the South
against the regular democracy, and
this term “anti-Bourbon” is made
to include all the disaffected
persons and disappointed poli
ticians everywhere all men who
think a new party will bo more
ready to recognize their peculiar
fitness for office Ilian the regular
democrats have ever shown them
selves to ho It will include re-
adjuslcrs in Virginia, Debt Payers
in Tennessee, (Irccnbackers in
other States, and any and all sorts
of people every where, who arc
willing to fight the regular domo-
ernev, regardless of previous poli
tical associations, present political
opinions, or race, color, previous
condition or anything else.
GEORGIA XF.WS.
Some of the papers published in
the towns near Atlanta are making
their grievances known, which grew
out of tlie late Exposition at At
lanta. Tlie Griffin New* estimates
the loss of trade to the merchants
of that town to at least $50,000—
while the Madisonian complain that
pcoplc'in its bailiwick went by the
thousand—borrowed money to go
to the Exposition, who are now
unable to replace it, and who ab
solutely refuse to pay their news
paper subscription, and for the
bread, meat, and clothing furnish
ed them by tlie Mndison merchants.
So it seems that what Atlanta
grew fat on impoverished itsneigh-
hors.
Can any one doubt that it would
he a popular move in Congress to
reduce the taxes and so alter the
tnrill as to take less money from
one set of people to put in tlie
pockets of another set. It would
he more decent to he a little more
moderate. “I don’t sec tlie use (f
the infernal revenue tax no how,’
aid one man to another not long
•since. He meant internal hut in
fernal will do just as well. Why
not let posterity pay a good share
of tho public debt. Give the peo
ple who were ruined by the war
some chalice. These high taxes
are doing much to keep the people
in trouble.
Tho Mexican tariff, like the
United Stales tariff, is a complica
ted allair, and if protection is cor-
clntivc with prosperity Mexico
ought to lie a very prosperous
country. Its people are protected
leso- |,y i ,157s separate rates, payable on
weights, measurements, quantity
r value of importations. Our tar
iff enVcrs -1,000 articles in compre
hensive antagonism to trade. Il
is certainly not to lie wondered at
that business is stagnant between
countries with such mutually ad
verse legislation. The wonder is
that business is not dead.
We see it stated Hint r
deal of lobbying is going
Washington over llolieson’i
liition in regard to the forfeiture
by certain railroads of their land
grants because of their having
failed to comply with their part of
the contract by the completion of
their roads. The Northern Pacific
people are reported to he working
very hard to prevent the resolution
being relcred to the Judieiary Com
mittee, as that committee, they
think, is in favor of rescinding the
land grant to Hint road, and will
report the resolution favorably.
They think they have a better
chance with the Committee on Ter
ritories or the Committee on Kail-
roads. The main lobbying, there
fore, is to keep tlie resolution away
from the Judieiary Committee and
to send it to some other committee
more under the control of the rail
road and its friends.
The differeuee between the man
ner of the inauguration of the new
ly elected Governors of Mississip- j
pi and Virginia furnishes the Gal-1
vestou Xeics with a good point. |

It is rumored that Oscar Wilde
is to lecture in Atlanta for the
benefit of the Library Association
of that city.
Cotton factories are getting so
common in Augusta that there has
actually been established in that
city an agency for tlie sale of fac
tory sites.
The Langley Cotton Factory of
Augusta 1ms declared a dividend
of 124 per cent, from its earnings
for the last six months. This
makes 20i per cent, on tho capital
stock declared in dividends during
the |>astyear. Mr. E. A. Atkinson,
of Boston, will please take out his
memorandum book and make a
note on’t.
Granison Harris, jr., was con
victed of body snatching in Angus-
Tucsday, and sentenced to pay
a fine of $1,000 or work on tlie
chain gang for twelve months.
A fine but ferocious Berkshire
hog attacked a mule on the plan
tation of Mr. W. II. l’arsons, near
Sandersville, the other day, and
with its tusks cut the mule so sc-
vcrcly across the stomach that it
died in an hour.
There arc in Marion county two
gentlemen whose given and sur
names are precisely the same, and
they are not only no kin, but until
a few years hack had not the slight
est acquaintance- What is still
more remarkable their wives have
the same given name. We doubt
if tlie ladies are oven acquainted.
They arc good citizens and are
highly esteemed. One lives in
Buena Vista, and tlie other near
Juniper.
The Arijitx tells of a young wo
man who is teaching school in Ma
rion county,and who has a man for
ty years of age attending the
school. He missed his lessons
whereupon the feminine teacher
announced her intention to open
the pores of his skin with a switch
to see if she could learn him some
thing in that way. He flatly dc
dared that lie would not take
whipping, and would quit school
first. Finally, she left it to a vote
of the scholars, ns to whether she
would whip him. The youngsters
were unanimously in fv.vor of war.
The young woman then gathered
the bearded scholar by the collar,
and to his utter astonishment gave
him a sound thrashing. He is now
isgusted with the school business,
and believes the whole thin
Valdosta Times: A countryman
brought a basket of eggs into town
to sell the other day, and before lie
succeeded in disposing of them a
young rooster, full of promise,
stepped out of one of the shells and
put a stop to the sale. The young
fellow was certainly enterprising,
as he seemed to be working on his
own hook, and wc wish, as a re
ward for Ms pluck, that lie will
live to crow for many a dawn yet
to come.

Ex-Senator Sessions, indicted
for bribery in the New York Sena
torial election last winter, is try
ing to get his ca e removed from
the court in which the ease was
brought against him by the Dis
trict Attorney. It is not quite
char whether the ex-Senator is
afraid of the quarter Sessions
Judge or merely wishes to delay
the trial, hut it Is very certain that
he will not he arrainged until every
obstructive expedient of the law i
exhausted.
11 is a fuel that while producing
about four-fifths of the raw cotton
of the world, the United Slat
manufactures less ilia:: one-sixth
of it. There are about 10,00(1.000

against 40.000,000 in Great Britain.
The l ailed States exports in a
year $9,081,000 worth of cotton
goods, and imports three times as
mtieli. Britain exports $810,000,
worth.
