Gnitean's Own Sneech.

The speech that Guiteau wrote in his
cell, and which Judge Cox decided that
he should not be permitted to deliver to
the jury, was given out for publication
Friday. Guiteau says it contains his
true defence, and he repudiates the line
of defence adopted for him by bis law
yers. He hopes Judge Cox will yet con.
clude to let him deliver it, and if not, he
is satisfied the court in banc will reverse
the decision.
The speech starts out with the decla-
ration that he stands before the jury as
patriot, suffering in bonds for an act
that was done for the good of the Amer
icon people. He reasserts that the Del.
ty inspired him, pictures the political
situation at the time, declares that there
have been several interferences by Prov
idence in his behalf, and threatens dire
things to the American people if he, as
as the representative of the Deity, is in
jured. He tells the jury thst it is their
business to acquit him and SO vindicate
his inspiration. He claims he was in
sane when he shot the President, and
that as soon as it was done the pressure
on his mind was relieved. So rash an
act he argues, could only have been the
work of madman.
He quotes many letters to him, to
show, as he says, that public opinion has
changed in his favor. He denounces the
testimony of the experts as worthless,
and stigmstizes that of certain other
witnesses as false.
His closing appeal to the jury ends
with the statement that when the Pres
ident was shot the Cabinet officers tele-
graphed to Europe that it was the act
of a madman, and he thinks it will be
far better every way if it is now deci-
ded that it was the act of mailman.

Our community was shocked at the
news on last Tuesday evening, that Jas
z. Newlan, living one mile north OF
town, was dead. On Tuesday afternoon
Mr.. .Newlan and his son Wall were work
ing at the barn, putting up some stalls
he went to the house complaining of a
terrible pain in his head, but after re.
naming there an hour his head ceased
to pain so severely, and he went again
to the barn to assist his son to finish the
stalls-but in short time said to his
son, "Wall, am blind, and feel very
bad" His son took hold of him to help
him to the house, bat had not gone
many steps till the father became so
helpless that his son had TO leave him on
the ground until Mrs. Newlan came to
his assistance. They removed him to
the house. and set him in a rocking
chair, when the son started for Dr.
Estep, but before the doctor arrived Mr..
Newlan was dead. The doctor made an
investigation of the cause as far as he
could, and gave the opinion that he died
from cerebral apopleXy. Mr.. Newlan
was man respected by all his neigh
bors-a member in high standing in the
U. p. Church. His remains were inter-
red in the Harrisville cemetery.

SENATOR SHERMAN has conclusive
answer for the Democrats who are
charging him with accepting their three
per cent bond scheme which he rejected
last spring. He says: "We shall show
the Democrats that the blunder was
theirs. We shall show them what we
can do as an offer they could not have
done by forced loan. They would have
compelled the people to have turned
their six per cent investment into one
bearing half that amount, and thus
have made their three per cent bond un-
popular from the first. We have by this
loan come down easily to 81 per cent,
and now by the same process we will re-
duce it to per cent. There was NO
compulsion about the first process, there
will be none about this. Yet it accom-
plishes all the Democrats pleaded for
last spring, and not one of them can re-
fuse to vote for it. They must ac-
knowledge that their process would
have been exceedingly unpalatable, if it
did not seriously affect the success of
the loan, and they must further ac-
knowledge in the end that our method
was the correct one. and the truth is
that they are all mad that l, "a Republi-
can,' should have introduced three per
cent bill, and they do not easily recover
their good nature"

Our friend Poorman, of the Bellaire
Tribune, is much distressed because the
ssme advertising, and possibly some OF
the same speeches before the Farmers
Institute, appeared in both the CHRoNI-
Gle and Gazette last week. Our brother
did not deem it any great crime last
fall to publish a paper which for three
months bore the name of the Democratic
standard bearer for Representative at
the head of its columns just like the Ga
zstte. 1t is dreadful that there should
bs the same non-political matter in the
CHRONICLE and Gazette. but there is
nothing wrong in pretended Republi-
can living down in the same nest with as
foul and malignant Democrat as ever
represented his party or prosecuted a
Union soldier during the war, assisting
to place such an one in Office to carry
out the behests of the Democratic party.
Indeed, brother Poorman, you should be
the last man to complain if all the Re-
publican and Democratic editors in the
United States should embrace each other.
1t ought to. be no wonder in your eyes.
