! Our BURIAL GRoUND.-We have
before taken occasion to refer to the sad
ly neglected condition of our city burial
ground, and shall continue to do so un-
til our authorties manifest more respect
for our departed friends ard relatives. A
few evenings since, wearied with the dust
and monotony of town, we took drive to
the City Cemetery. The place is mourn
fully desolate, overgrown with grass aud
weeds, dilapidated fence, crumbling
tombs, and PROSTATE head stones, the
hQgs and stock actually having undis-
turbed possession, and destroying at
rapid rate the flowers aud shubbery
planted there by the hand of affection
Our city authorities must enclose the
ground with fence. The coalition now
existing makes the heart cry, and will
evidence to the world that we are degen-
Grating in christian sentiment and the
finer feelings which enoble nature. The
evening of our drive was one of peculiar
beauty. The sun was dipping low down
the Western sky, now flooding the earth
with its golden sheen; now retiring be
hind its pavilion of clouds, peneilling
the ragged edges with golden amethyst
The beautiful surrounding forest, waved
its green arms in the evening breeze; and
the flowers planted by dear kindred,
spoke to the Thoughtful of the resurrec
ton, of that vast Metropolis, when the.
voice of God shall call them from the
tomb. How eloquently does the grave
teach us the nothingness of life. Here
in this little ''city of the silent, the heart
hears its own throbs, and feels that each
pulse sis beating its funeral march to
the grayssH1lI lwuu..asnals or, the shadows

muses. on the past and guesses at the fu-
ture. The heart instinetively recoils. at
the darkness of the future and the tomb,
and we turn with fearful eyes to the ra-
diant memories which bloomed SO fla
grantly along the path of childhood.
In yonder little nook sleeps mother
lin another our old friends Judge Par
ker, Billie Heron, Uncle Tom Binford,
the Roulhac's, and host of others,
whose memories appeal to US to care for
their remains left in our charge. Every
Ilosss-a A-aA-A---z-
every leaf which futters in the. breeze,
every epitaph, whether it speaks from
plain head board or from marble lips,
should teach US this duty; and to SO live
that when our summons comes to join
the caravan to the pale realms of shade,
that with an unfalteriug trust, we may
approach our chamber in the silent halls
of death.

Our RAILRoAD.-The 9,hwestern
railroad of late is cont hr>Isgve
excitement On Saturda ids
on the road by an apparehc phcerted
arrangement with the hands dG the Mo-
bile and Ohio road, struck for the pay
ment~of wages due them, and since that
time trains have ceased running on both
roads. The manaRrs of the Northwcs-
tern road are unable to comply with the
demand Of the hands, and We are given
to understand that trains can not be re-
sumed until the first of July. The diff
fculty is in obtaining the bonds appro-
priated by the State of Tennessee for
the aid of said road. Governor Brown
low declines to issue the bonds to either
of the contending parties, aud until be
does do so neither will be able to pay

Chase by the Democrats. 1t observes that he
Is against the South in every issue before the
Supreme Court. and that he favors universal
amnesty and universal suffrage 1t remarks

suffrage, and would leave it to each State to
regulate it, If this is so, the Mercury says the
South can have no objection to him 1t then
adds That as MIR. Chase is the father of our

The nomination Of Hon. Reverdy johnson as
Hinis,er to England, yesterday, was at once
Confirmed by the Senate. Mr.. Johnson has oc-
oupred q prominent position before the public
for many years. He has been States Attor-
pey for Maryland, Commissioner of InsoIvent
Debtors; has several times represented Bslti-
more city and the county in the State Legisia-
ture; in las he was chosen United States Sena-
tor, and resigned in 1919 TO accept the position
OF Attorney General in President Taylor's
Cabinet He retired from this position on the
succession Of President Fillmore, and resumed
The practice Of law. He was 4 member of the
Legislature elected by the Union party IN ls62,
being one OF the Representatives from Balti-
more county in the House Of Delegates, and
vas that year sgain chosen United States Sena-
tor. He was also member of the Peace Con-
