AhD 1sSAAoFAL OF OR. y. w. PARKER.-
AS our readers will observe our esteemed
townsman, DR.. ]. W. Parker, has been
removed from the Suporinten lency of
the Asylum post that he hos held for
thirty-four years. Tho removal is made
by Governor Scott upon the basis, rs he
states, of the recommendation Of tho
Board of Regents. This Board is, of
course, the Board appointed under the
radical regime, which now exerts its
baleful influence over so many interests
in the State. It was unnecessary for
Governor Scott to add his commenda-
tion to the manner in which DR.. Parker
has discharged his high and delicate
trust The State and tho community
are well informed upon this point. 1t is
known with what skill, kindness and
efficiency the late Superintendent full
filed the duties of his Office. Aud it is
equally we'll understood that DR.. Parker
is removed for no cause whatever, eX-
ccpt that tho demands of PARTY required
that his place should be vacated by him.
We regret that the Lunatic Asylum has
lost its efficient head, but we congratu-
late the ex-Superintendent upon the
fact that even party prejudice, in remoy-
ing him from his place. could connect
with his name and services no disparag-
ing circumstance. We are pleased to be
able to say that DR.. Parker's successor,
DR.. j. L. Ensor, although q comparative
stranger here, has commended himself
to the kindly consideration Of many of
our citizens, and we consider it fortu-
nate that u gentleman like DR.. Ensor
found favor enough with the Regents of
the Asylum to receive the appointment.
DR.. Parker, we are informed, will be
absent for several wecks-having mado
oil his arrangements to accompany ono
OF his family to the springs before re-
ceiving notice of his removal. The
following is the official notification:
