The telegraph bring the following account of the sentence of Guiteau, the I prisoner having arose at the command of the judge: The prisoner arose, pale, but with lips compressed and desperate de termination stamped 'on his features. In a low and deliberate tons he began but soon his Dimmer bocame wild and vi'Crnt, and pounding upon the tab! he delivered himself of the following harangue: I am not guilty of the charge as set forth in the indictment It was God's act, not mine. God will take care of me and don't let Ameri cans forget it He will take care of it, and every officer of this government from executive down to that marshal taking in every man of that jury and every member of this bench will pay for it, and the American nation will roll in blood if my body goes into the ground, and lam hung. The Jews put the despised Gallilean in the grave, and for the time they triumphed; but at the destruction of Jerusalem 40 years afterward tho Almighty got even with them. I am not afraid of death. I am not afraid of death, I am here as God's man. Kill me to-morrow if you want to. I am God's man and I have been from the start" Judge Cox then proceeded to pass sentence, addressing the prisoner as fol lows ; "You have been convicted of a crime, so terrible in its circumstances and far reaching in its mmlts, that it has drawn upon you the horror of the whole world and execrations of your countrymen. The excitement produced by auch an offense, made it no easy task to secure for you a fair and impar tial trial, but you have had the power of tho United States treasury and of the government in your service to pro tect your person from violence and to procure evidence from all paits of the country, lou have had as fair and im partial a jury as ever assembled in a court of justice. You have been de fended by counsel with a zeal and de votion that merits the highest encomium, and I certainly liave dono my best to secure a fair presentation for your de fense. Notwithstanding all this you have beeu found guilty. It would have been a comfort to many people if the verdict of the jury had established the fact that your act was that of an irre sponsible man. It would have left the people a satisfying belief that the crime of political assassinations was something foreign to the iustitutions and civiliza tion of our country; but the result has denied theiu that comfort The coun try will have to accept, the fact that such a crime can be committed, and the court will have to deal with it with the highest penalty known to the criminal code, to serve as an example to others. Your career has been so extraordinary that people might well at times have doubted your sanity, but one cannot but believe that when the crime was committed you thoroughly understood the nature of the crime and consequen ces Guiteau I was acting as God's man and that you had moral sense and conscience enough to recognize the moral iniquity of such an act. Prisoner That's a matter of opinion. Your. own testimony shows that you recoiled with horror from the idea. You say tnat you prayed against it; you say you thought it might be prevented. Hi is shows your conscience warned you against it, bu' by the wretched sophis try f your own mind you worked yourself up against the protest of your own conscience . Wiiat motive could have induced you to this act must be a matter of conjecture. Probably men will think that some fanaticism or mor id desire for 6elf-exaltation was the real inspiration for the act Your own testimony seems to controvert the theo ries of your counsel. They have main tained and thought honestly, I believe, that you were driven against your will by an insane impulse. The testimony showed that you deluterately resolved to do it and that your deliberate and misguided will was the sole impulse. This may seem insanity to some persons but the hw looks upoa it as willful crime. You will have due opportunity of having any errors I may have com mitted in the course of the trial, passed upon by court in banc, but meanwhile it is npcessary for to pronounce sentence of court, that you be taken hence to the common jail of this district, from whonca you came, and there be kept in confinement, ami on Friday, the 30th day of June, 1832, you be taken to the place prepared for your execu tion within the walls of said jail, and there between the hours of 12 and P. M., you be hanged by the neck un tjl you are dead, and may tht Lord nave mercy on your soul" During the reading Guiteau stood apparently unmoved and with gaze riv eted upon the judge, but when the final words were spoken he struck the table violently and shouted: "May the Lord have mercy upon youi soul. I'd rather stand where I do than where that jury do, and where your honor does. I'm not afraid to die. I stand here as God's man, and God Almighty will curse every man who has taken part in procuring this unrighteous verdict Nothing but good has come from GarSeld's removal, and that will be the verdict of posterity on my inspiration. I don't care a snap for the verdict of this corrupt genera tion. I would rather a thousand times bo in my position than in that of those who have hounded me to death. I shall have a glorious flight to death. I shall have a glorious flight to glory. But that miserable scoundrel Corkhill will have a permanent jeb down below, where the devil is preparing for him." Tbe Orfjoi War Claims in Conjrca 0. M. Carter, formerly of Portland, writes !(t his paper, tbe National Re form, oy Washington : One or more test bills aa introduced. If they pass it will form a precedent for other similar claims. In the first allowance leu than fifty per cent, was paid. It is a shame the full amount was not allowed. Sen ators Grover and Slater and Represen tative Georcfo are working for thoir passage. The old Indian Claims o'f one to twenty-five years' standing, for ser vices and supplies furnished in excess of appropriation, also spoliation claims amounting to millions. Bills havs been introduced to pay them. We hope to have them paid by bill direct, or through the court of claims, or through a commission to be created, or through a new tribunal proposed to be created to adjudicate such claims as do not go properly before a court of claitui Another Unmatured Scheme. General Sprague has been authorized by the Northern Pacific Railroad Com pany to cause the erection here, says the Tacoma Ledger, of large coal bunk ers, with a capacity of 3,000 tons, and he will At once lx-gin the work. His plans are not matured, hut in general we may expect them to be located near the coal wharf and not uuliknly on the ower side of Old Womau's Gulch. En gineers are at work running lines with the view of ascertaining the best route of approach. Not knowing we can only guess as to the size, and quantity of material that' will be used in the uildingof these bunkers and state the the probability tljat they will require from 500,000 to" 1,000,000 feet of lum ber. ' The interesting fact haa come to ight that Senator Miller, of New York, received a letUr from General Grant requesting him to withdraw his (Grant's) name from the Nicaragua ca nal bill as one of the incorporators of the proposed canal. He puts his re quest on the ground that this is not a time to press the Nicaragua scheme. De Lesseps is at work upon his canal and . Eads proposes a ship railway. These should lie tried first for the com merce for which facilities are desired is not sufficient to warrant undertaking three commercial highways across the isthmus. The adherents of Ead's scheme claim that' the outlook is en couraging for favorable legislation this Winter that it is gaining unexpected f"or mon8 m"raber of thi" and that they have reason to believe that other prominent men who give their name on account of Grant's sup port of the Nicaragua scheme will ask ln" lnKJ 00 rom osnator . i '.i.j I e ..

EL F, Lamere, of High valley, in Union county, a few days Bince dis covered what may prove a valuable gold bearing quarts at Warm Springs on Catherine creek, twelve miles from High Valley, An assa made by Judge Elmer from the outcroppings of this find showed gold $972 and 5 ounces silver per ton. At the deptk of three feet the vein is twenty-five feat wide, and well defined. On the 21st of January, as Mr. and Mrs. F.

Wads and Duncan, the parties charged with the snurder of John Hawk, still continues. About 20 witnesses on the part of the prose cution have been examined up to the time of going to press. A great deal of time is consumed in the arguments of counsel, and at the present rat the examination will not be concluded for several days. , This prosecutioD will incur heavy expense to the tax payers of Union county, there being about 100 witnesses summoned, who have traveled distances tanging from 50 to 100 miles. The expense will probably be $400 or $ 500 per day. During the last four years Oregoa has exported to the eastern states not less than 400,000 head of beef catttle. Most of these cattle were produced in the counties east of the Cascades. The largest purchasers of cattle within the state were the firm of Lang 4 Ryan, of Leavenworth, Kansas, who bought 20,000 head in Grant county alone in the spring of 1880. In the south end of Grant county are several cattle kings who are furnishing beef to Saa Francisco, their shipping point being Winnemucca on the Central Pacifio railroad. The two largest of these, W. B. Todhunter, Camp Harney, and Peter French, of Stein's mountain, neither of whom ship leas than 25 car loads, 300 bead at a drive. Hugh J. Glenn, the great wheat man of Colts county, has over 8,000 hiad of eattl in Grant county, and he is not the lar gest breeder there. On the tributaries , of the John Day there are many thous and head, but they are divided among several others. (
