illness, Mary, A. Bakks, a W. P; PD.
Grand Lodge No. 2, of North Carolina,
and a member of the Supreme, Grand
Lodge in America, and a member of
this Grand Council, and whereas, tto
speak off the dead is at alLtimesa
melanpholy pleasure, but when one is
striken down with whom we have been
accustomed to associate in the fraternal
relations of the Lodge rooca, we expe-'
rience a more tender sorrow while the
arrow is.quiyering in the wound whi.'e
the dead lie burned iu our midst, w
feel more keenly the affliction and the
full heart finds silence the most elo-l
quent eulogy of the departed. We'
have known Marv A. BAuks or n-iite a
number of years, the greater part of I
that time as a member ot this- and ot a
kindred order, she was a woman of en
larged benevolence, full of the milk of
human kindness, the friend of the
poor and destitute. But she has' gono
from among us -furnishing another of
those' solemn lessons we are daily re
ceiving, teaching us what shadows we
are and what shadows we persue. The
knell of each passing hour reminds us
that we are following our sister to the
home of the'dead the wise, the grave
and reverent will be as low as hers.
Let us theri improve this solemn aud
affecting visitation. It is scarcely pos
sible that all the members of the Grand
Council now present, wi-H, after the
close of this session, meet altogether
again on.the shores of time ; let us so
live tbat'we at the last, stand in the
presence of the Supreme Grand Chief,
wearing the jewels ot a well-spent life.
Therefore, be it.
. Resolved, That we deplore , the loss
the Order has sustained in the death of
our worthy and esteemed sister Banks,
and a a token of respect 6 her memo
ry, the members of this Grand Council
tvill wear the usual badge of mourning
for thirty day?.
i Resolved, That this Council has lost
one of . its strongest pillars and the
Church a pious devout christian and
her family a utiful wife and tender
mother.
RqQlp'Jp .That this Grand Council
tender to then family ot the deceased
their heart felt.'sympatby in this hour

It is true that the President had prom
ised that two Republicans and two
Democrats should be appointed in this
state, and it is also true that the gentle
man appointed from the First District
was considered by the President to be a
Republican, owing to the fact that
Congressman Martin recommended him
as such. Gov. Holden and Hon. S. F.
Phillips,, say that Mr, Patterson, of the
Fourth District, is a Republican ; but
even admitting that these two gentle
men are Republicans,1 (many persons
who claim to know them deny it,) it is
no excuse to appaint two Dtemocrats in
the largest districts in the state, which
throws the working of the whole Census
Department of the state info the hands
of the Democratic party. This i3
another outrage on the .Republicans of
Jorth Carolina, which tan not b,9 too
