lakewood Cemetery.

We learn that on account of other engage
ments and the state of his health the Rev.
]. B. Smith has resigned his office of Secrc-
tary and Superintendent of lakewood ccme-
terry, q position in which he rendered most
efficient service.
P. A. Wiley, the excellent cashier of the
Raleigh National Bank, has been appointed
Secretary of the Association and Mr.. Waters
has been appointed Superintendent.
These are excellent appointments. Mr..
Wiley is well known. Mr.. Waters lisa prac-
teal gardener OF great experience. He is
already at work and will soon occupy the
new cottage at the west gate of the Gene
terry. The Association has likewise employ
ell Mr.. Englehardt, landscape gardener of
great skill and taste, who, with some TWEEN
tyo thirty hands, is rapidly improving the
Cemetery grounds.
The dam across Grassy Branch, securely
made of granite. is finished. The lakclct,
"Grass Mere" will soon be full, and from its
winding shores and over.arching trees will
be very lovely. The banks OF the brook,
which rises from two springs in the centre
of the grounds, are being sloped to graceful
angles. New avenues and paths are being
laid out, and soon lakewood will be one of
the most attractive place about the city.
We learn farther, that the promotion of
this cemetery docs not design any antagonism
to the present city cemetcry.A Many lot
owners in the new will retain their lots in
the old, where tho bones of their ancestors
are Wondering into dust.
1t is manifest that all available space in
the old cemetery will in few years he ap
propriatcd. The pruprictors forcsee the
need of enlarged grounds for the burial OF
the dead, in very short time They desire
TO anticipate this necessity. They design
cxpending all the receipts, after paying nc.
cessary EXPENSES, for purchase of land, &c.
in bcautilying and a,iorning the grounds
They have thirty-eight acres, of hill and
dale, with two branches running through
and pnc rising in the midst of the lands
They have every variety of soil, lying wei
for cultivation and suited to burials, eithel
in graves or vaults. They have naturs
groves Of oak and poplar, and have planted
many evergreens and dccduous trees of VA
rious and most approved kinds Thci
hills command extensive and beautiful lnnd
| scapes. -
The association is no I" close corporation.
There arc forty-two share owners the larges
holding only five shares They are willing
that new stock shall he taken in order tina
all may be enabled to purchase homes fo
their dead, and have reduced the price o
lots, until December LIST next, to $25 each,
a sum at which nonc can complain.
We think this pious enterprise SHOULD
have the good will and hearty God speed o
! all our citizens. There is nothing which
more reincs people than the proper adorn
ment and care of the homes of their dead.

1t will be seen by our kilograms that the
Fenian war on Canada has proven dis
graceful fasco. We are glad of it for while
we sympathise with the Irish cause, certain
impeiuous Irishmcn have proven themselves
to be in the end, from time to time, the
worst enemies Ireland ever had. Beside
there was no hope Of success in the move
ment, save the hope tbatthe general govern
ment would sustain the Fenians in their
movements. This hope has been happily
dispelled by the proclamation of the Presi-
dent and the action of the other United
States authorities.
war with England, just now, in any
case whatsoever, would doom every white
Southern Republican to martyrdom and
death. The standard OF rebellion would be
raised once more, and the purpose which
was expressed during the war, that it was
better for the Confederacy to be province
of England that a portion of the United
States, would see its fulflment.
Besides, the excitement in the Indian ter
ritorics and along the Canadian border di.

affairs at the South. Troops are withdrawn
and we are left unprotected. Therefore, We
express our unqualified disapprobation O
the recent movement. and believe that it has
met with merited failure.

Samuel +. Phillips.

We have never known q person more Bit
terly and unjustly maligned and misrepre-
sented than he whose name heads this para
graph but the malignity comes from sources
unable to harm, and the Misrepresentation
from characters utterly unworthy of notice.
We do not eulogize Mr.. Phillips. We do
no more than award to him that praise
which his true manliness and honesty merit.
Mr.. Phillips needs no eulogy. His charac-
ter is unblemishcd, and his name is so far
beyond the reach of SANDER that he needs
no defense against the prosecutions of those
who would lnjure him. We append par
agraph from the pen of Gen. S. D. Atkins,
who married daughter of the late Gov.
Swain, and Is now editor of the Frccport
Qllinois) Journal:
"Hon. Samuel F. Phillips, nominated for
Attorney General of North Carolina, by the
Republican State Convention in session at
Raleigh last week, is a gentleman who will
confer honor upon the Republican party,and
upon the good old North State. He is :
leading lawyer ut the North Carolina Bar,
and has filed, for several years, the office Of
Reporter for the Supreme Court: We hope
he will be supported, as he ought to be, by
Judge Battle, Hon. B. F. Moore, Zebulon d.
Vance and Hon. VIM. A. Graham. zcb.
Vance promised to fight the Yankees a long
timc-if we remember rightly, until HI
was SO full of Yankees that their feet would
stick out of the windows-but VIC would
respectfully suggest to him that it is time
to quit fighting; and when tho Republican
party of North Carolina put forward native
North Carolinians of the sterling character
of Hon. Samuel F. Phillips, all North Caro-.
linians should deem it an honor to support
him at the polls"
