Stanton.

EDWIN NJ. STANTON is dead. With
the natural ability to confer great good
upon his country, he ministered only
to sectional hate, partisan rancor and
personal malice. His is one of the cases
in which the maxim, De nortuis nal nisi
bonum, should not be observed. 70
offer q public man, whose career has
only applied power to revengeful pur-
poses, encomiums and applause when
dead, instead of the reprobation he
earned while living, would be shame
ful blazoning of evil deeds, criminal
conservation of crime. The country
may afford to forget the bad examples
of obscure men, but in justice to its own
future and to the rising generation, it
cannot afford to gild the rotten reputa-
tions of its bad great men, or canonize
a historic character, who, making of
broken laws ladder by which to ascend
to eminence, makes his life most memo
rable by actively participating in
dark aud bloody deed, which, in the
days of ungagged justice, would have
been denounced as downright murder.
Public opinion has done justice to the
memory of Mrs. SURRATT, vindicating
her innocence although she expired
upon the .caffold. Those who hunt
ed her to death, no matter how high
their stations, can never be worthy OF
honor, living or dead.

b nilock.1

BULLOCK, the bogus Governor OF Geor-
gia, over whose head hangs the sword OF
impeachment for gross corruption and
schemes of jobbery, engineered the bill
in relation to that State. If the old
Legislature had been continued be
would have gone to the wall, and heLce
his.prostration at the feet of any man
who could aid him in this emergency.
BULLOCK is also candidate for Senator
from Georgia, another reason why the
Legislature should be controlled by ne
groes and carpet-baggers. No other set
of men would be mean enough to elect
BULLOCK. His brother aspirant for the
other seat in the Senate is one BLoD
GRTT, a man who raised the first com
pauy Of Confederate troops in Georgia,
and who is now under indictment for
perjury. These are the reptiles who
woald beslime the seats once occupied
by BENTON, WRIGHT, DALLAS, CAY,
CALHOUN and WEBSTER, and in order
that such men may creep into power,
General GRANT recommends the outrage
upon Georgia, and his obsequious ser
wants carry it into OBJECT. Master and
men are alike deserving of the scorn
and contempt of all true friends of the
nation.

Cigar Making by Machinery.


The American Cigar Machine Com
pany recently gave practical eIhibi-
tion of the machines patented by them
for the manufacture of cigars. These
m machines bid fair to work revolution
in cigar making, not only because of
the reduced cost of production, but on
account of the fact that cigsrs so made
can be sold for ten dollars q Thousand
less than cigars made by hand. The
company has thirty machines in opera
tion, driven by small caloric engine,
The machines are simple, and
can be worked by children.
The wrappers are first cut out
from the pure leaf by machine. A
hundred leaves are placed in pile, held
in place by clamp, when four knives
in the shape. Of an obleng square de-
scepd and cut the wrappers. The cigar
making machines consist of revolving
rollers, covered by q cap. The "fllers"
having been wrapped up in the rough
by hand, are placed within the machine,
and in few seconds the cigar is sufi-
ciently rolled and fashioned at one end
to receive the wrapper, which is fed
into the machine. the operator having
previously gummed the ends. The
cigar is then taken ont, neatly and e1-
pedltiously made. All that remains to
be done is to trim one end. A girl can
produce two thousand cigars day by
these machines, and can easily earn
from ten to fifteen dollars per week.
They promise to come into general use,
IS they possess the merit, in addition to
those above stated, of efectually doing
away with Strikes, !" which are said to
be frequent occurrences in cigar manu-
factories.

THE TOBACCO CHEWER s
y Stringent Revenue Regulations 70 be
Recon- IN ended

1t is said that Horace Greeley intends
to petition Congress to pass the follow
irg law affecting tobacco consumers this
Writer:
Tobacco chewers are requested to get
their tobacco frem first hands, which ia
The first man you meet who will give
you a chew.
Where parties are in the habit of
borrowing chows, the Government will
furnish each man with note book, in
which the time Of day, the size of the
quld, whether plug or fine cut, the quail
ty and the time when the amount is to
be refuu ded, must be strictly recorded.
Those parties who have been limo.
Gently using unstamped tobacco will
call on the nearest revenue officer and
give in, as near as possible, the amount
which they believe has been consumed
The officer will then furnish the neces-
sary stamps, and if they are chewed up
il his presence the Government is then
satisfied that no criminal wrong was
meant.
Those persons who maliciously carry
two boxes, one filled with base smoking
tobacco, to give to borrowers, tho other
containing superb fine cut for home
consumption, are to be treated as de.
serving of death, and hung on the spot.
No tobacco box must have more than
two spigot holes in it, and the stamps
must be pasted directly over these. o
When a quid has been exhausted, the
Government strictly forbids its being
thrown away until two red chalk ks
have been made across it and a label
attached bearing these words: "The
fellow who ohewed this has complied
with all the requirements of the law,
and persons are hereby warned not to
chew this quid again."S
Tobacco consumers must constantly
bear in miBd that the more stamps there
are on o psekage of tobacco the
cheaper does the weed become-in q
horn.
Their Government strictly forbids the
use of those tobacco boxes having a
concealed needle inside mob on the
cover, by which one forgets his desire
for a cheyr after having the instrument
run into his thumb about foot.
The Government has witnessed, with
supreme sorrow, many young men, and
old men also, when they have observed
an acqua intsnce smoking q cigar, come
out bold Y and ask, "Have You got the
mate to that" Hereafter, in all such
cases, the person asked will exhibit the
following Label, which Government will
furnish on demand: "Ask me for ten
cents"

ChristlnR as.

Tho religious festival Of Christmas is
attributed by the Decretal Letters-not
very good authority, by the way-to
TELEsIPHoRUs, Bishop of Rome who
died A. D. 1873. However that may be,
it ia certain that the precise date was
not determined till much later period.
Strangely enough it was long the
most movable of all the Festivals. 1t
was celebrated for time by the Church
in the East as late as April or even May
subsequently it was made to coincide
with the Epiphany, or 9th of January,
and it was not until the agitation of the
subject by CYRIL, of Jerusalem, in the
fourth century, that tie theologians of
the East and West agreed to celebrate
the birth of the Redeemer on the 25th
of December.
Several of the Christian Emperors
issued DEGREES that the day should be
observed as a time of rest from labor,
of Divine worship, and of Christian
hilarity;" and these decree, have been
obeyed by all civilized nations since; if
not in all three respects, certainly in the
last.
The mode of "hilarity" has varied in
different times and nations, according
to the changes of manners aud the char
scter of the people. In the middle
ages the day, or rather the week,
was celebrated by dramatic displays,
which had for their object in
struction as well as amusement. The
Bible was not in the hands of the peo-
pie, nor could they have read it if it had
been. The lower orders of the clergy
were grossly ignorant; suoh dramatic
exhibitions, therefore, in masks and
costumes, of the religions mysteries
as they were called, occupied the place
of religious literature, and even TO an
extent that ,of pulpit instruction. In
almost every church the central point
of the festival was . species of tab
leau in which little lay figure richly
decorated and lying in o cradle repre-
sented the infant JESUS, and living per-
soEs, who had volunteered for the ecca-
sion, masked and in quaint costume, ap-
peared in the character of JOSEPH and
MARY, ELIZABETH, Tho wise men aud
Others. Even the beasts in the stable
were not omitted. Horses, asses and
oxen were frequently added to the scene
Suct exhibitions would of course ap-
pear IN our day absurd if not irreyer-
eht' out in that they were necessity OF
'he times and must be viewed by us
win corresponding charity.
a s'milar practice still exists in South
'4 'ricA and ether countries, and is
ev uotiess founded, though less excuss-
hiy' upon the same reasons. The re.
hgions festivities we speak of were
commonly closed with the singing of
carols" which represented the songs Of
the shepherds on the plain, in response
to those of the Angels. Bisbars Odd
clergy joined with tho pOpulace, and
not unfrequently, it is said-thousb .hs
authority is little du tious-sbsred in
the dance in the end.
The whole was characterized by ,
mixture Of jollity and religion, in which
