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. | Says that paper: "Governor Low-1 erv. who beat the coalition can-j didate in Mississippi, was inaiigu. j rated publicly, surrounded by tin- people of the State and amidst the j plaudits of the white population.

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.
