lr. Sttpktai,
la reply to in artlelo at oare deprecating the
Bus’s squibs of Joy over Grant's election, Mr. Ste
phens msket an odd statement. He says he alone
s responsible for the potto cal control of the 8c*,
and Its political atatna ahall bo Judged of alone by
his article*. All other articles of a pall Seal natn.e,
pnt In by the abla associate, mnat set be regarded
ae defining the gnu's politics, though Mr. Stephens
has entire confidence 1* the disc raffs n sad patriot,
lam of the associate. This is a queer sort of ar
rangement. Hla associate fills colamas with aqnibs
and articles on politics; but they are simply ao
much by-play—not to go for anything or to he oom-
merited upon, although their author has Mr. Ste
phens' confidence. This Is rnthtr comical, it
strikes u», (exceedingly comical. Sow, would
it not be well for tbe associate to drop poli
tics, since he don’t apeak by anthonly?
The math is that we hare always acted on tea dis
tinction before Mr. Btepheoa called atasation to it
Whatever articles of Mr. Stephens' we have replied
to we hare designated them ae his by name. While
all otner editorial articles in his paper we here re
ferred to as Tnn Son’s, and he win find oar article,
which he answers allude# to squibs at Tnn 8c*
and not of Mr. Stsphsaa.
Bottle np thy equlfebler, Mr. Stephana, or Indorse

Noaaalbtr, 1871.
Wo have rapmdihted no “pranks ” ml
tr mb—into; and jwhen there is any
neoresityfor “bottling” him up, wo may
take that matter inta consideration. In
the krtio g referred to we wore only for
“ bottling" you up, neighbor, for charg
ing upon Thh Son “ joy,” “ exultation,”
and a “gloating" over the defeat of the
Democracy in the late election. No
suoh “joy," “ exultation” or “gloating”
ever appeared in Thh Sun, either from
the pen of the Political Editor or his
able associate. This was the brunt be
tween us and the Constitution. The
charge was that Thh Son liad so ex
pressed “joy,” “exultation,"etc. Tho
answor was that neither Mr. Stephens
nor his able associate had expressed
any each sentiments as alledged l
Wag the Constitution made good its
oharg* ?—or has it been “bottled up"
upon it? The latter seems to be
the condition of affairs, in as much
as in the rejoinder above given in
loll, it does not even attempt to
make good the oharge; but seeks to in
dulge in a sort of “byplay,” upon wlial
the Editor considers the “comical”
manner in which he has been “ bottled
up.” Whether Teh Sun be a single or
“ doubled barreled" Journal, it generally
hits when it fires, and “bottles up” ati
who assail its real positions or assign to
it positions it does not occupy.

Tbe Savannah Netrt of the 14th inst
discourses of the Chnpoaqua Philosopher
after the following fashion:
The sage of Obappaqua lakes his de
feat very philosophically. It is of course
a relief to him to know that he was not
beaten by a Democrat, and that the coun
try will continue to be ruled by the Re
publican party. But that ia not bis ohief
source of gratnhktaon. Ho says daring
the last twelve years he has been con
tinually besot by office-seekers. “Every
red-nosed politician,’’says he, “whohad
cheated at the caucus and fought at the
polls,looked to the editor of the Tribune to
secure hie appointment as gauger, or ays
army chaplain, or as Minister to France.”
Now that he is a beaten candidate and
has not “influence enough at Washing
ton or Albany to get a sweeper appoint
ed under the Sergeant-at-Arms, or a
deputy sub-issistant temporary clerk
in the naste-pot section of the folding
room,” lie is secure from the importu
nities of place hunters, aud will be
let alone to mind his own affairs aud
manage his newspaper. He will be qdIo
to keep his office clear of “ blath
erskites and political beggars,” and
go 'about his daily work unmolested.
“ That,” be exclaims, “is one of the re
sults of Tuesday’s election, for which we
own ourselves profoundly grateful.”
And yet he strove hard tor the Presi
dency, which would have made him the
almoner of all the offices in the gift of
the Government, and brought about him
all the “blatherskites and political beg
gars” in the country.
We admire the equanimity that can
thus find consolation in defeat, and sin
cerely congratulate the sage of Cliap-
paqna on bis escape from responsibili
ties, cares and annoyances which only
his putriotie ambition to serve the coun
try could have induced him to andure.
We congratulate him, too, on bis return
to the quiet of private life, where if he
will not only mind his own affairs, but
through his newspaper teach the
people ol bis section to cease in
termeddling with the affairs of
other people, he will da more
good, contribute mare to the harmony,
peace and prosperity of the country than
he bos accomplished in ull tbe long years
of uis editorial life. H&d he and the fa
natical school of politicians, of which he
was a leader, acted on the principle ef
everybody minding his own affaire, had
they oonfined their ideas of morals to
their own households, and their tIowb of
local government within the Units pre
scribed *>7 tbe Constitution, and the
boundaries of their own Slate*, leaving
other peoples and States to manage their
domestic affairs in their own way, the
evils that low afflict tbe country and
threaten tho destruction of the Repub
lic would never have come upon un
If the editor of tho Iribuna will mind
his own affairs, and labor aa aealoualy
and effectively to toach the people of the
North to adopt the same course, as ho
has heretofore labored in support of tha
“higher law” which recognises no lim
tat ion or restraints, he win inaugurate the
greatest reform of his life, and accom
plish more 'or the restoration of national
harmony, peace and prosperitv, than he
ooald have accomplished baa he been
elected President.
Oar Municipal AW#lri.
At no time in tbe history of Atlanta
have the tax payers had cause to feel so
grave an interest in tbe question of the
selection of a Mayor and Board of Al
dermen os at the present time. Without
going so far as to charge fraud upon
members of the present Board, as one
of our city contempories has done, we
have nevertheless to acknowledge the
fact, that there is an imperative demand
Sor retrenchment in the expense that has
marked the administration of the Conn-
oils of the present and last year; The
receipts from all sources have fallen far
short of the expenditures, although the
rate of taxation has been increased, and
the necessity of a yet larger increase of
taxation is patent, unless the expenses of
the city government is made to conform
to its income.
Appreciating fully the situation, there
ia an earnest desire on the part of these
who have property at stake, and all
others who have at heart the welfare of
the city, to elect to the management of
oar publio affairs for 1873 men who will
administer the city government for the
city’s good.
In the earnestness of this desire, we
predict that in the approaohing election,
thero will be lees regard to party lines
than has existed in any previous muni
cipal elections. We doubt if there will
be a Republican ticket nominated. The
more influential white Republicans, and
many of the colored men of the party
ore opposed to a nomination by their
party, and express a willingness to sup
port a Democratic ticket if is be com
posed cf representative citizens, whom
they believe to be independent of, and
unaltiad with “the rings.” There are
hundred* of Democrats also—some, our
most estimable citizaus and business
men, who are disposed to ignore our
municipal nominations, and to vote for
the men whom they deem most 'deserv
ing es oi
not, even at the risk of being charged
with acting outside of the party.
This feeling is manifesting itself in
the announcement of an independent
ticket for Aldermen. Two independent
candidates are in the field for the Mayor
alty. One, Mr. T. Stobo Farrow comes
out in opposition to a ring to which he
asoribes the nomination of Judge Ham
mock. Judge D. F. Hammond’s plat
form is a sound one, and he has the
prestige of having once proven himself
a fiuthfol and efficent public servator of
the city.
The present attitude of affairs appears
favorable to the election of the independ
ent tiokat for Aldermen, for if the Re
publicans make no nomination among
themselves, they will most likely support
this ticket. Who they will support for
Mayor is not yet so apparent.
We have this to say of Mr. Farrow’s
nomination: if his real design is to de
feat Judge Hammock, his own candidacy
is a mistake, in the event Jndge Ham
mond does not come down.
Oat of tho many candidates in the
field, we sincerely hope a Mayor and
board of Aldermen will be chosen, in
whose keeping the interests of the citv
will bo safe; under whose administration
rigid economy of her resources will be
assured.

Mr. J. Henley Smith has retired from

Edward Olney, Professor of Mathe
matics in the University of Michigan, is
writing oue of the most complete series
of Mathematical works it hus ever been
onr lot to examine. This book is by no
means the least important of his pro
ductions., it is composed of theorems
and problems without the solutions, thus
requiring the student to depend entirely
upon his own resonrees—the benefits of
whioh no good teacher can fail to sae.
The habit of self-dependence in se
lecting and applying principles in
the eolation of questions requires the
exercise of a comprehending and dis
criminating judgment which cannot fail
to produce the most happy results.
“Guessing at nothing,” the student
learns to master his own mental powers,
and move with mathematical precision
to the true solution of a question. A
test of profioienoy.it at the same time in
spires self-confidenoe; makes the student
conscious of augmented strength; allures
him on with the hope of certain reward,
and thus invitee him to enter new fields
of investigation. In fact, so important
do I regard original and independent so
lutions, that I am firmly convinced no
man can be a thorough mathematician
without rigid and constant drilling in
this exercise. How eminently appropri
ate then is snoh a book as the one nn
der consideration, in connection with
ths elements of Geometry and Trigonom
etry 1
In preparing his series of Mathemati
cal works, Professor Olney has cons aired
snoh sminent authors aa Mulchay, Sal
mon, Whitworth, Charles Poncelet,
Ronoha, Comberonsae and Compts—au
thors well abreast with the advances of
the scisnoe. Teachers will do well to
examine these books.

manufacture of Paper and New HIa.tr-
rlal— Nexr Features.
Now that newspapers and books have
become a necessity in every honse, and
their inanulactiue forms no small part of
the National wealth, inventions or im
provements, tending either to facilitate
the labor, or cheapen the raw material,
must command attention in commercial
circles.
Im .'rovemen's in pvinting machinery
and material have been many—some of
them, indeed, of snoh a nature as to rev
olutionize the business. In presses, es-
peoially, the machinist has labored with
untiring zeal, until, at last, were Aldus
Manutius, or some other of the old mas
ters, to revisit earth, and compare the
handiwork of Hoe with the ruder con
trivances of their own day, they would
not be able to credit their senses.
The labor-saving machinery for job
and composing rooms has also multiplied
amazingly, and the beauty and finish of
the work sent out by first-class establish
ments claims for the printer a place
among the Fine Arts. The wonderful
regularity ot printing office mechanism,
from editorial room through the compos
itors, proof readers, stereotyper, and on
to the press room, is really ingenious,
and it requires patient study to follow
it out.
The manufacture of printing paper,
however, has hardly kept pace with the
other adjuncts of the printing business.
About thirty-five years ago an English
manufacturer named Spencer devoted
considerable attention to the improve
ment of paper, especially to the surface,
succeeding in making it much smoother
and more compact.
Straw, as a material for paper, came
into use some years ago, but it is coa’^e
and brittle—and though serving very
well for temporary nse, was unfit for
preservation. Paper made from rags,
though good, most necessarily continue
dear—the raw material costing from
three to four cents per ponnd, exclusive
of labor. If a paper, as good as that
made from rags and cheaper, could be
made, it would have a great effect in
cheapening lite rature.
Among the many proposed materials
for the manufacture of paper, there
are two—wire-grass and Palmetto—whioh
a Georgia company guarantees will fur
nish better paper than any now in use,
and at prices that will beieally low. The
Palmetto grows in great quantities in
Southern Georgia, and has hitherto been
worthless; but if this company are suc
cessful, they will make what has hitherto
been a waste, a source of plenty. If ma
terial, which can be had lor almost the
picking, will make as good paper as that
for which three to four cents per pound
must be paid, its manufacture will be a
profitable business.
Mr. Henry Banks, of Atlanta, is inter
ested in this business, and with his as
sociates, some time ago procured a char
ter, and have established a mill
Lowndes county. Capitalists thinking
well of the enterprise can get further in
formation from Mr. Banks, No. 39 Peach
tree street, who has opened books of
subscription to the “ Grand Bay Manu
facturing Company ” The shares are
$25. ’ . .

applied to Inspector Walling at Police
Headquarters last night to know if any
thing had been heard of Ben Abdallah.
It appears that this dusky gentleman is
chief of the tronpe. After the matinee
performance at the circus, about four
o’clock, it is alleged that Ben went to the
box office and received about $1,500, the
salaries of the whole tronpe.
From that moment he has not been
seen. He also had in his pocket the
contract of the entire tronpe for six
years — to them a very valuable docu
ment. The two who called on Inspector
Walling, said that tuey feared that Ben
Abdallah had fled the city with the
money, and that he might very possibly
have taken passage for Europe. This
theory is not probable, however, as he
was seen Blightly intoxicated late in tha
afternoon, and the probability is he has
been locked np in some station house.
Sudden. Marriage and Early Repent
ance#
Miss Marion Huntington, a young
Miss of seventeen summers and a native
of Georgia, arrived in this city some time
ago, in company with a female relative,
and is at present stopping at a Broadway
hotel.
A short time since Miss Maria became
engaged to a Mr. Conklin, of this city
and lor a short time all went well. She
was then residing in Jeisty City, and has
a friend, an Englishman, named Henry
Walker, who was also smitten with her,
bat she seemed to care nothing
for ihim till a few days ago, when
Bhe quarrelled with Conklin, and
in ‘a moment of auger and spite
she went with Walker to an E> iscopal
minister and was married. After the
ceremony was over her husband accom
panied her home, but by the time she
reached the door a realizing sense of
her foolishness took possession of her,
and giving him one kiss, she bade him
depart and never see her more.
Walker, who, it seems, loves her dear
ly, has done all in his power to get her
to change her mind, box she remains
firm, and is now trying to get a divorce
He corresponds wita Ler and addresses
her by her maiden name, and she answers
his letters, bat they carry no hope to his
sad sooL The singular part of this singular
transaction is the fact that the girl has
made up her quarrel with Conklin, and
he visits her nightly, and they are to be
married as soon as she is legally free from
her present husband. Bo'h parties are
well connected, and Mr. Conklin is doing
business as a clothier in Fourth avenue,
near Cooper Institute.—Neo York Daily

One quiet day in leafy June, when
bees and birds were all in tuue, two lov
ers walked beni-uthtlie moon. Tlienight
was fair, so was the maid; they walked
and talked beneath the shade, with none
to harm or make afraid."
Her name wus Sal nud his was Jim,
and he was fat and she wus slim; he t^k
to her and she to him. Says Jim to Sal:
“By all the snakeB that squirm among
the brush and brakes, I love y ou bstter’n
buckwheat cakes.”
Says she to Jim, sinoe you’ve begun
it, and been and gone and done it. “I
love you next to a new bonnet.” Says
Jim to Sill, “My hoar- you’ve busted,
but I have always gzls mistrusted.’^—
Says Sal to Jim, “I will be true, if you
love me as I love yon, no knife can cut
our love in two.” Says Jim to Sal:
“Through thick and thin, for your true
lover count me in, I’ll oourtno other
gal agin.
Jim leaned to Sal; Sal leaned to Jim,
his n r ise jast touched above her chin,
four lips met — went—idiom — ahem!
And then—and then—and then and
then. Oh, gals! beware of men in June,
and underneath the silvery moon, when
frogs and Junebugs are in tune, lest yon
get your names ir rv.rnr soon.

With what a strange, chilling sound
the word dead falls upon our childish
ear3, even though the deceased one be
not a friend. Bat, oh 1 with what keen
heart pain ws are forced to listen to the
cold, bitter words; although softly and
kindly they may lie spoken—“ Mother's
Dead!" Is it really true ? How oan we
force onr hearts to realize that she has
gone from among us. .Gome forever.
Never more to see that loved face; never
more to tear that loved voico; nevermore
to listen for the coming of those dear
footsteps, oh! never, nerrer more. She
has left us. We will miss her soft
caresses, her kind, gentle words; and
more than all, we hubs her large, warm
heart, that was ever ready to sympathize
with us in our sorrows, help ub in our
troubles and Boothe us in onr sufferings.
' Cold and silent she lies before ns .in
her dark, narrow resting place. Those
eyes that smiled upon so lovi»gly; those
lips that caressed os; those hands that
gently smoothed onr aohing brows, are
now »s cold and devoid of life and feel
ing as a marble figure. What avails our
wild anguish, our cries of unsontrolable
grief now. She cannot hear ns. Oh 1
no; our sorrow will not reach her in her
home beyond the river of life. With
much pain we think of the many things
onr little hands might have accomplished
to make her stay on eartn more pleasant.
How often with thoughtless words, and
still more thoughtless and hurtful ac
tions, we have censed that tender, lov
ing heart to bleed for us. Oh I how
willing we would undo every little thing;
recall rudely spokeu words; job, most
gladly, if we could only bring her back
again. But, ab! bur sorrows and re
grets all too late. “From the grave
there is no returning.”
When we think of this, and glance
around at the many little ones who have
no mother, how thoughtful and care
ful wo should strive to be of mother’s
feelings. How hard we should try to
obey her in every command, with a will
ing heart and brightly smiling face.
How much more pleasant it would be for
you when your mother asks you to per
form some little duty for bar, to jump
up with a bright smile, and say pleasant
ly: “Certainly, mother,” than if you
were to shake your little shoulder*, and
matter with a sullen frown on your face,
‘T don’t want to!”
You’ll think of all these little things
when your mother is no more; when
mother's ded! Then—aal said before,
you will be sorry. But your sorrow will
be too late.
Mother will not be with us always.—
Her stay on earth may be but very short.
We know not how soon the, dread mes
senger may summon her from onr midst,
therefore, while onr gracious Lord is
pleased to let her remain , among ns, we
should strive to obey her in everything,
so that when death sets his cold seal
upon her brow, remorse for the actions
we have done, will not make bitter,
through most truthful memory, our lives
forever after.—Guardian Angel-
