I hereby make known to tlie pnblio fib«t I have cold and assigned my entire interest in The Son Publishing Com pany to Hod. Alexander H. Stephens, who is now the sole proprietor thereo*, - and have relinquished its general manage ment and responsibility. This step is taken by mo at my own request and for reasons of a personal ra- ture. I have labored night and day for oighteen months, and the wear and tear apon my physical oondit on is more than I wish to continue to undergo. I need rest and recuperation for a time. I leave this active management, wilt The Son having a larger circulation than any paper ever published in the Scutli ior the samo length of time. Mr. Samuel A. Echols, who succeeds me, and takes chargo.from this day, is a young man of energy, untiring industry, of fine ability os a popnlar writer, and talents as ua editor. He is likewise widely and favorably known as a business man. Of Mr. Stephens, tbe proprietor and political editor, it is needless for mo to say anything. His fame as a statesman and an orator of the highest order; his great learning and ability; his purity and spotless integrity in all matters, are as widlely known os civilization extends; and I predict that his editorial career will, in all time, ba regarded by the historian, the statesman, and philoso pher, as one of the most honorable and nsefal of alt his great lubors. My per sonal relations to him, for many years have been tbo kindest, which shall be remembered with gratitude and pride to tho end ox my life. With best wishes for The Sun and all connected therewith, and for the good of all its readers, and car common coun try, I now take my leave. J. Henly Smith. JBy reference to the foregoing card it will be Been that Mr. J. Henley Smith has resigned the management of the Business Department of The Sun. The undersigned respectfully announces his connection with The Sun, from to-day, as Business Manager and Associate Edi tor. Hod. Alexander H. Stephens, who u now the solo proprietor, will, as here tofore, be tbe Political Editor. All communications on business, or for publication, not political in nature, will please be addressed to me. Political correspondence should be addressed to Mr. Stephens, at Crawfordvide. All dues to the paper will also be paid to me. Mr. J. Henly Smith, in dissolving his connection with the paper, carries with him tho kindest personal regards of both Mr. Stephens and myself, and tbe esteem of both as a man of strict integrity and superior business qualifications. In assuming tbo management of The Sun, I respectfully solicit a continuation of tbe patronage it has heretofore re ceived, and the best endeavors of all connected with the paper will be put forth to make it deserving even a yet more extended support. Sam’l A. Echoes. Me. Stephen xro the New Depasture.—Mr. Stephen* an elaborate reply to our artlclesh ow- “* 8 inconsistency in tacking ns with i eing a J* ew Ueparturlst for supporting Mr. Greeley, when i C8l ’<lldste for Vice President is the cham pion New Departnrist of the country. The matter, however, ceaoea to be practical now, that the issue is settled. We hive simply to remark that Mr. 8t®P£ena makes the matter worse by his article. He Justifies himself by saying that Mr. Adams was a New Departnrist, but is a Straight now. Adams has never recanted his New Departure doctrin-s. But if Mr. Adams can be swallowed now, though wrong “Uspast, so can Mr. Greeley. The same rule ap plies to both. Mr. Greeley was wrong once, but is right now. But it is useless to be fighting over settled mat ters.—Atlanta Constitution, Clh November, 1872. The Constitution has strange ideas about what makes “ matters worse.” If our article was of the character described why was it withheld from his readers ? Wliy were they not permitted to judge of how “ matters ” stood between us for themselves ? The charge the Constitution made against ns was that of “ inconsistency ” in supporting Mr. Adams. We showed beyond question or the ingenuity of cavil, that our conrse had been entirely con sistent from tho beginning. The charge was utterly refuted. Wo bad even said that while we believed the strength of the Democratic party consisted in boldly maintaining their own position in or raigning the Batiicol party for their gross and palpable usnrpalions attend ing “reconstruction,” yet, we would for harmony’s sake support any ticket upon any Platform, net departing from the essential principles of the ancient creed of tho party, and which did not sanction these usurpations or close the door against their future arraignment for popular condemnation. Was not this most undeniably, oar position? Docs the Constitution ventnre to join issue with us on that point ? Our read ers see for themselves that be does Dct. Now how did Mr. Adams stand in the late contest ? Let him speak for him self, and whether he ever recanted his New Departure doctrines” or not, let us see if ho did not pnt himself sqnarely apon sach a platform as we had uni formly said we would support any candi date upon, though we did not think it tne best that might be adopted to secure and iusuro success? We give copious extracts from his letter of acceptance, dated Qiiucy, Muss., 16th September 1872: Industrial Education. From a circular issued from the State College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts, at Athens, we see that this depart ment of industrial education is now well organized, with a faculty of ten Pro fessors and instructors, and has regis tered since its opening 126 students.— There are six courses of study offered to students: a course in agriculture, a course in civil engineering, in mechanical en gineering, in mining engineering, building and architecture, and in practi cal chemistry. We observe there is a working ohemi- cal laboratory established, where stu dents do actual work for two hours each day, and that mechanical drawing is prominent feature in the conrse of in struction. State scholarships, giving free tuition are granted, one to every oounty in the State. To show tho character of educa tion given, wo extract from the circular the third year’s coarse in applied chem istry: Toted Ye.os.-1. Industrial Chemistry-, including Mining and Metallurgy; Metallurgic processes for the extraction of the uselnl meuis; the Manufac ture of important Commercial Chemicals—Adds, Salts, Fertilizers, &c.; the Manufacture ol Glass and rorceliin; Agricultural Chemistry—the com position and nee of Crude and Manipulated Fer tilizers, Ao.; tho Manufacture of Cano and Beet Sugar; of Alcohol, Wine, Beer, Vinegar, Ac.

It:* head ia 4 inches in diameter’across the fore head; its legs measure around the thigh 61 inches. raai I was of those who hoped that a genuine and ho mogeneous movement in the direction of a radical reform in the aiministration of tbe General Gov ernment, and a return to the simplicity of function and stricUy circumscribed activity to which the ConstituUon seems to me to restrict the Federal Gov ernment, might have been concerted between large part of tho Democratic party end a considera ble body of Republicans who were known to bs dissatisfied and alarmed by tbe course of tbo Ad ministration. There were several distinguished statesman In that daws wha Sad O^Umtea With de cency and differed with us iu respect to measures rather than fundamental and essential principle, who any consistent Degocrat could have followed n tnrally and cordially in such a path—men of tried and admitted fitness for the place. But instead of such a man, a candidate was se lected whom no one had ever deemed peculiarly fitted for tbo Presidency; whom many thought cu riously unfit ior it, and a man, moreover, whose fa vorite stylo of controversy, as well as his cherished principles of government, rendered it almost lmpos Bible lor any Democrat to support with self respect, and whom no thoughtful Democrat can vote for without an apparent abandonment of the elementary and csssential principles of his political faith. For either the Democratic parly believes first and last, and always, that the least possible interfe-ence by the Gov ernment with the fret action of the people, which is consistent with preserving order and dispensing justice, is the crowning merit of tuck a system as we have adopted in America, or the party has become a mere office-seeking machine. Bat the candidate adopted at Baltimore ia of all men of the 'united States the one who most vehe mently believes and declares that this doctrine is of all political heresies the most heinous; that it is held only by wicked men. * * * * The results of this choice were at one apparent.— The disintegration of the Bepublican ceased. Thous ands of men who were watching to see whether something clearly preferable to Die existing state of things would be offered them, returned to their old places; preferring rather to bear the ills they bad, than to fly to others that they knew not of.— Especially was this the case with all men engaged in trade or business who dreaded the well known financial vagaries of Mr. Greeley. A few leaders, too far committed to draw back, came over, bnt their followers remained behind. Even his "wards'' turned a deaf ear to Mr. Sumner's plaintive appeal. In fact, the sound common sense of the people had jpeedily appreciated tho grotesque incongruity and hypocrisy of such an astounding confederation, slid uen-cted the politican plotting behind the cloak of a popnlar revolution. The Cincinnati movement stopped x; Cincinnati. It only remained for its real friends and sincere promoters to see to it that the impulsion of reform thongh checked, should not be utterly turned aside and lost. It ia possible to wait and work and grow strong in fonr years of opposi tion ; but four years of President Gredley would de stroy tho cohesion, tbe energy and the very life of any real reform. * • • • * At this time, when it seemed to me that valuable fun damental principles wore lost sight of and thrown aside n -I futile scramble for a tie usi:-e an i ttangerous tri umph, the suggestion of Mr. O'Conor for a third candi- date seemed to offer a welcome refuge for such as might with, to holdfast the Democratic faith until this furry is over. Mis noblo and piquant letter to tb6 convention ap peared to me to be of great value as a statement of grand primary principles of popular free gevern- ment which must prvve of real use ia stimulating, suggesting and shaping public thought upon the great vital question which must soou occupy the atten tion of the people. For no matter what may 1 e the result of the ap proaching election, tba speedy dissolution of the Baltimore amalgamation is, in either event, certain. Tbe elements ol dissenlion within it are too flag rant to bo smothered long even in success; the bond of connection is too frail to withstand tho shock of defeat for an instant. 3 hen a now party under the old name may gather about the nucleus which you may havo preserved, and by liouest and faithful devotion both by precept and example to tbe plain and fimplJ doctrine of a genuine Demo cratic policy, may in time conquer, legitimately and fairly, their vindication and adoption.. I have the honor tote, ve.y respectfully, , Yourobedtei t servant, *, h Q- Aimts. tween “constitutionalism” and “a system of despotic central authority.” “Bat,” says our neighbor: “if Mr. Adams can be swallowed now, though wrong in the past, so can Mr. Greeley. The same rule applies to both. Mr. Mr. Greeley was wrong once, but is right now.” That involves the whole question. If Mr. Adams and Mr. Greeley were both once wrong, and both now right, then indeed the same role does apply to both so far os principle is concerned. Bnt how stands the fact in Mr. Gree ley’s case ? Is he now right ? Does the Constitution still maintain that tbe prin ciples of the Gincinnati-Baltimor^Flat- form, as expounded by Mr. Greeley him- seif, are right ? This is a matter that does not “cease to be practical,” now that tho election over. It is a “living issue” for the fntnre jost as the principles of all past usurpations will ever continue to be “liv ing issues,” so long as there shall remain enough devotees of constitutional liberty on this continent to present them and raise their voice against “a system of des potic central authority.” No resolves ol any number of conventions can ever bnry these questions. On which side of this issue, then, will onr neighbor be found hereafter ? We have conclusively shown that Mr. Greeley is not now right; that his epi tome of the Cinoinnati-Baltimore ^plat form is the completest embodiment of a centralized empire ” ever before pre sented to the Peoples of these States! We are well aware of the fact that our neighbor said our argument on this sub ject did injustice to Mr. Greeley, and that Mr. Greeley did not mean to be understood ,as holding the’doctrines that we deduced from his language. We were charged with misrepresenting ” him ! To this wo replied that we would leave it to Mr. Greeley himself to decide whether our understanding of his lan guage was not correct. We had no dis position to do Mr. Greeley or any other man on earth, the slightest injustice.— We felt fully assured that onr understand ing of his meaning was correct; but left it for him to determine that matter him self. Could any • course have been fairer ? Was it not tho right conrse for any one to pursue whoso object was nothing bnt the ascertainment of, and the maintenance of truth ? Has Mr. Greeley himself, either in The Atlanta. Constitution and Mr. Ste phens’ Inconsistency. Some of our readers may be curious to know if ear neighbor, tin Constitution, has made any rejoinder to our vindica tion, on the 5th inst., against its charge of a few days before against our “ in consistency” in supporting Mr. Adams ; and, if so, wljat was said in the rejoinder. For their information, in both partic ulars, we refer them to nn article in full, taken from the Constitution of the 9th inst., to be found elsewhere in onr col umns to-day. We entertain too much respect for their intelligence to say a single word by way of comment npon it. A. H. S. The Results of the Lute Elections, and the Lessons they Teach. the New York Tribune, ever corrected onr exposition of his doctrines, or even complained of its unfairness ? Never I Then are we not bound to act npon it as an established truth, that Mr. Greeley does now hold and maintain the doctrines and principles which we understand him clearly to avow in his epitome of the Platform on which he ran ? Does onr neighbor mean to assert that Mr. Greeley was right in holding and maintaining these principles and doc trines ?. And now that the deotion is over, does onr neighoor mean still to maintain that these doctrines and principles are right, and involve no “departure” from the ancient Democratic creed ? This is the great vital, living question which has in no way been determined by the results of the late civil conflict. It still sur vives and will live on, it is to be hoped, for ages to come. It is well known that we placed onr opposition to : Mr, Greeley’s election neither upon personal grounds or per sonal prejudices, nor upon his past re cord; bat npon the openly avowed prin oiples on which he entered and conduct ed the canvass; If ' these principles, be right, then onr neighbor was as much justified in “swallowing Mr. Greeley” os we were in supporting. Mr. Adams; but not otherwise. - * We say no more at present, except to add that those who imagine that tbe principles involved in Mr. Greeley’s platform will become “a dead issue, know no more of the future than they, or others like them, did when they vainly supposed that the Greeley movement would be a sort of. “ground swell” or “tidal wave,” J which wds going to sweep the country and bring a majority of .Democratic members in the next House of Bepresentalives 1 \taua.-j. - How now stand their hopes, expecta tions and predictions ?

The comments of several of onr State exchanges upon the recent Presidential and Congressional elections indicate cleaily to us that they are quite as much at fault in their perception of the causes which produced the results a3 in their appreciation of the lessons they teach. Some seem to look upon these results, so astonishing to them, a3 evidence of nothing but a “deep-seated bate” on the part of the people of the Northern States against the people of the Southern States. They can attribute the over whelming defeat of Mr. Greeley to no other cause. On this point we intend, at this time, only briefly to say to all our cotemporaries who thus express them selves, that we do not at all concur in their view of the subject. We attribute th9 general results to causes entirely different. These causes we may hereafter inquire into and ex hibit in their real character, with an ex planation which seems to us ought to be satisfactory to the minds of all who are seeking for the truth. ‘ , The most mortifying reflection attend ing the iuqiry and explanation will be that whatever evils Gen. Grant’s re-elec tion may bring upon the country will forever be justly attributable not to tlie “bate” of the Northern people to the Southern people, bnt to tbe blander or treachery of trusted leaders of the Dem ocratic party of the United States. Oar neighbor, the Constitution, speak ing of the result of this election and of the South says: “She probably has made an error in “ takingly partjn national politics.— “All of her efforts ssettr^ojiaye only put ~nerlmoredeeply in the mire!’’ Now, we are as far from agreeing with onr neighbor in the sentiment expressed in the first part of the above extract as we are in the other sentiments referred to. The error of the South was not in taking part in the contest; bnt in the part they took in it. Had the Democra cy of the South stood by their princi ples—had they never permitted the Tro jan horse of “New Departurism” and Greeleyism” to be introduced within their walla, they, with their brethren of the North, wonldhave carried the late election with almost as much certainty as that the son will set to night. This, at least, is onr opinion. It was onr opinion before the campaign opened; while it was onr opinion, equally deci ded, that a most disastrous defeat would await tnem if they, in an evil hour, should adopt that line of policy, which they did adopt at Baltimore. This was their great and fatal error. It was in mounting the “Belmontwagon,” which was so. badly “bogged” at Cincinnati. It was after this great and fatal error that their every effort did indeed “only pul diem deeper in the mire. Without farther remarks at present, either about the results of the late elec tion or their causes, we, in justification of ourself, barely add that this is no after thought with ns. It was bar opinion at the time. As much as we lament the re sults, we are in no way surprised or dii appointei at them. For proof of this, as wed as vindication of the correctness of onr judgment on the subject, we sub mit the following letter we wrote to a distinguished friend of Pennsylvania before the meeting of the Baltimore Con vention, and before the fatal error was committed. The letter speaks for itself: Oar readers will see how it tellies with results : Liberty Hall, Cbawfobdvill, Ua., Jnly 7, 1872. Hon. , Baltimore, Md.: 7 My Deab Sib:—Tour kind and es teemed letter, ol last week, was received in due time, bat too late for an answer from tne to reach you at Philadelphia before your departure for Baltimore, where I hope this will meet you. I have nothing to add to what I have heretofore said to yon in regird to the conrse the Democracy should take. it appears to me now almost os cerlain that he will be badly beaten. I cannot see, upon any rational princi ples, bow it can be expected chat he will carry more than three States North of Mason & Dixou’s line. If things do not take a wonderful change there, 1 do not see much rational prospect of h:s carry ing a single one. 1 mean a single State North of that line. The only trophies he will have will be such Southern Stales (how many of these time alone can determine), as may decide to take him as a “choiceof evils.” These will indeed bo signal trophies for him. They will, after a fashion, be doing honor to tbe man, who, above all others, did most to effect their overthrow, degradation and ruin ! Oh I how will the mighty have fallen.! This will (if my apprehensions are well founded) be n<v less applicable to these poor, down trodden Southern States' which so ti ke him, than to the great t Democratic Party itself. Yours, tru ! y. Alexander H. Stephens. Sir. Stepliens Again. If every Democrat in the United States had voted for Mr. Greeley he would have been elected.—Cou ritr-J.urn a!. But there were of Democrats not a few, and always will be, who would not nor will not sell out theirprinciDlcs. ■n Mr. Stephens finds it ditficult to under stand that the Democrats who supported Greeley, have been, and are, as true to the great principles of constitutional government as he possibly ever was or can be. Aud they expect iu the future to stand faithful to these principles. Mr. Stephens, therefore, in battering awny still, after the election is over, on tbe same line that he haspnrsued daring the campaign, is simply knocking over a puppet that bis own imagination has set up and is fighting a decided battle. If lie supposes for a moment that the two or three thousand Straights in Georgia headed by himself, are truer to the great principles of constitutionalism than tbe great body of{ the leaders ann rank and file of the Georgia Democracy who sup ported -Mr. Greeley, he is very much mistaken. And be will find it simply impossible to vindicate his opposition to Mr. Gree ley when he was willing to support Mr. Davis, Mr. Greeley’s associate in the Liberal movement,- who sought to be the Liberal: candidate for President on the Crininuati platform on which Greeley ran.’ -Mr* Stepliens. in opposing Mr. Greeley, not only is inconsistent .with his willingness to support Davis, but is dis regarded of that fundamental principle of the Democratic creed, that “measures and not men” are the test. And Mr; Stephens'will also find it im possible to explain his inconsistency in charging us with being a new depar'ur- ist for supporting/Greeley, when he him self supported Adams, the champion new departnrist of the' country, who in addition to bis new departure heresy un recanted, absolutely, in extracts from his letter of acceptance of the “straight nomination” for Yioe President, which Mr. Stephens quotes approvingly, proph ecies the dissolution of the Democratic party ftnA-UuLmganirAtinn-oi n Thus Mr. Stephens not only has fol lowed the lead of a new departnrist, but also a new party man. But again do we'repeat that it is now useless to be fighting ove^these settled matters. They have been discussed over and over, .again in every possible light and aspect. The people are familiar with them, and now that the fight is over, their re-discussion is a waste of time, and a continuation of the division in the party. The Greeley movement is defeated.— Its errors and good are matters of history. Its results for benefit are yet to be seen. By supporting Mr. Greeley, the Demo eraey has not abandoned one of its great principles. Had Greeley have been elected, it would have been a triumph of the De mocracy. As it is, Grant’s policy of Southern oppression and central des potism, repudiated by Greeley and his Liberal Bepnblican mends, has received the popnlar indorsement North. ' Let those Democrats who think that result preferable to Greeley’s election by a Democratic vote, say so. We think dif ferently. But now onr duty is plain. Whining and sqaaobling over the past are out of place. The future is before ua We mustgird up for new battles. Grant’s election is of great evil, bnt not an irre parably one. The South can devote her attention to her material interests. She probably has made an error in taking any part in National politic*. All of her ef forts seem to have only pnt her more deeply in the mire. She can, however, still straggle for State control and State prosperity. Let her develop her splendid resources, and grow in wealth and population, and po htical power will yet come to her. One thing more. Mr. Stephens al Indes to onr not copying his articles.

A Citizen of Glasscock County lias mtrn Throat Cut from Ear to Ear, by a Party of Men la Dlsymlse—Vo Politics is tbe Affair—A Personal Feud at tbs Bottom of tbe Harder. In Glasscock county, near the line d£» Tiding Glasscock and Washington oonn* ties, is a bridge, known as KitohenaT bridge. About one hundred yards from this bridge, a young man named Benbes Armor, has recently erected a small atom house, where he has been keeping % small stock of goods, suitable for the country trade. For two or three weekn past Mr.” B.—, a friend of Mr. Ar mor, (we withhold his full name for th present), has been on a visit, staying in the store, and sleeping in the back room with Armor, which was occupied os n bed room. On Saturday afternoon, Armor, wha was drinking, had a difficulty with soma persons, tho particulars of which onr in formant does not know—ao a houso in the neighborhood. Wnen he came tor the store Into in the afternoon there weia marks and bruises on his face which would indicate lhas Le had been fight ing. He state! to his friend tnat ha had had a difficulty, giving the names of the parties, and tl at he lmd been mis treated, there being several of them against him. the murder. A little past 12 o’clock Saturday night, some negroes, passing, called at the front door of the store, awaking the two men, who were asleep in the back room, stating that they wished to make soma purchases. They were informed that the hour was unseasonable and they could not get what they wished. A fair minutes later a gentle rapping was heard. the door, and a voice which was recog nized as that of a man living; nearby, asked admittance. Mr. B 4 who had put on his pants, opened tha door, when a man in a black hood and gown, covering completely bis body® with a navy pistol in hand, pushed him self inside, past Mr. B——, who, though much startled, demaned his business. No reply was made, but the pistol was turned from Mr. B , and pointed ai Armor. Two other men in similar dis guise now came in; Armor was seized foroibly, being totally unarmed and car ried out the door. A fourth man in disguise, armed with musket or carbine, pointed it toward Mr. B., who grappled with his would-bo murderer. In the scuffle the gun was fired, and the third finger of Mr. B.’a left hand shot off. Another one of the disguised men coming np just at this juncture, Mr. B. was yery wisely “seized with a leaving,” which he effected by means of a window in the back room, which the little negro boy who slept on the floor in the office, had already opened, to effect his own escape. Mr. B. ran from tke bouse some dis tance, and lay out iu the woods uniu day, when he called for some of tha neighbors to go with him to the storey where they found Armor dead, his throat cat from ear to ear, and his head crashed and mangled. A coroner’s jury was summoned, and a verdict rendered, that the deceased came to death by the hand of some unknown parties. Great excitement and indignation is felt in Glasscock and Washington. Mr.'S., from whom we obtain the fore going partienlars, came to Atlanta this morning to procure from the State or United States authorities the immediate arrest of the murderers. He states that he knows who two of the disguised men. were, and has proof to convict them. We are satisfied of the truthfulness of Mr. B—’s statements. The murder cannot be attributed fa any political causes, unless the murder ers were Badioals, for both Mr. Armor and Mr. B were known to be Demo crats. Tbe outrage is evidently caused by a personal animosity, aggravated by that evil provocative of so mnch crime and unhappiness in onr land—strong drink. —The salaries of the Methodist Epis copal preachers of the CaliforniaCon- TX^H°-T crdcy e sn ?r aia | e ,- E Terence for the year 1872, range from I do not think our Southern delegates - $2i0 to 33 250 iu gold. ill nftthpr von mn/'h nn.onf. thA f-vritT r.r . ° will bother you much about the tariff cr anything else, i think they go to Balti more generally (with very few excep tions) with minds made np to do any thing they n.uy be asked to do.
