DIR. T. l.. Ranks.

We are gratifed to state that DR.. T. l..
Banks, at the urgent solicitation of hisfriends,
is candidate for the House of Commons in
Wake County.
We are authorized to state that DIR. Banks
does not propose to tie his hands in advance
with reference to the Howard amendment.
He will do the best he can for his constitu-
ents, if elected He would not feel himself
at liberty to pledge himself to reject any
pending proposition, however distasteful, if
by SO doing he knew he would bring still
greater evils on his constituents.
Dr. Banks is a gentleman of character and
intelligence. His interests are thoroughly
identified with those of the people of Wake
County, and we feel sure that the people of
the County can safely conide their interests
to his hands.
We are requested to state that DIR. Banks
will be prevented by the duties of his profess
sion in cases which he cannot neglect, from
canvassing the entire County: but he will
attend as many public gatherings as he pos
sibly can.

We said in 1860, 1861, 1868, and 1865
that we aoould do so and so, and aoould
not do SO and SO. Have we not seen the
folly of such declara tions2 Is it possible
that any one supposes that our conquerors
can be safely defed and abused ?-or that
we can conquer them by stubbornness,
when five hundred thousand soldiers were
no match for them Cor that we can gain
any thing by declaring that we aciU or sci1
not do so and so? When your hand is in
the lions mouth take it out as quietly and
as easily as you can. We are told that
the " Radicals are determined to dishonor
and degrade US. Will they change this
purpose, if we provoke them still further {?
Those among us who are still defiant and
rebellious, and who aoiW do as they please
ought to be prepared to .fghti Who is
prepared for that p
These are "words of truth and sober
ness" Nevertheless, we shall be abused for
them. He who tells the truth in this cri-
SIS, and serves the people faithfully, must
expect to be abused.

The reelection of Gov. Worth would have
most disastrous effect for the Southern
States on the minds of the Northern people.
1t would convince them that even North
Carolina, once the foremost Union State of
the South, does not desire to return to the
Union except on terms dictated by herself
No matter what Southern men may think of
this determination to dictate terms to the
conqueror, it is regarded by three-fourths of
the Northern people as rank rebellion and
treason. We shall never get back to the
Union in that way.

The last New York Times, commenting
upon the Northern elections, says
Matters have been so mismanaged, not
only in Pennsylvania, hut throughout the
North, that support of the Presidents policy
of Restoration involves return of the Dem
ocratic Party to power; and that price the
people will not pay They have no faith in
that party-in its principles, its patriotism,
its organization or its leaders"
The Times goes a bowshot beyond the
Herald in its comments upon the Presidents
policy.

Old Democrats can not consistently vote
for Gov. Worth. Up to last November, when
he attached himself to the Democratic party,
he had devoted long life to intense opposi-

Jonathan Worth did not regard Democrats
as decent" or respectable" Remember
his bitter persecution of the lamented Charles
F. Fisher and Daniel W. Courts.

to the President can vote for Gov Worth.

Horse Race, and Murder.

There was horse trot at Chicago,
sept. 22nd, between the horses Cooley
and Butler, There was great deal of
betting and jockcying, and the last heat
was delayed until after dark, from which
Butler came in without driver The
latter was found near the half mile pole
with his skull broken. There are suspi-
cions OF foul play, and Cooley's driver is
under arrest. 1t appears that much bet
ting had taken place in favor of Cooley,
the horse opposed to Gen. Butler, who
had lost the first and second heats, but
won the third and tourth-the latter by a
length, owing to his being driven almost
across the track in front Of his opponent.
a terrible excitement got up. But the
track was cleared for the fifth and con-
Guiding heat and the horses started liter
ally in the dark. 1t was impossible to
follow them around the track, SO the
crowd waited at the winning post with
brcathlcss interest for the result. At
length shout was raised and Cooley
came in under the wire Closely behind
him came Butler, without driver, and
went courSing around the track. The
crowd gathered around the stand in won
der and establishment to learn the cause.
Again Butler came round and dashed
away without pause. \ third time he
came swinging around the circle, when a
blanket was thrown over him, and he
passed into the stable. Quiet being re-
stored, the fact was announced from the
.iud ges' stand that Mckeever was lett dead
upon tn back stretch, and q scene of wild
excitement ensued. Strange to say it did
not appear to b. caused by the intelligence
of. the drivers death, but by disappoint-
mcnt at the unsatisfactory result of the
contest. A decision was vociterousIy de-
manled Of the judges They repeated
that Mckecver was killed, and announced
that the decision would be postponed,
which only elected loud calls on the part
of the crowd for immediate decision. FL
naliy all the bets were declared off and
the crowd began to separate. Riley, the
driver of Cooley, stated that he had run
into the fence on the back track and that
he had Deen struck by the wheel of the
sulkey He was running little before
Cooley, when one Of the wheels was OBJ
served to jump up, the drivers head be-
ing at the time inclined toward that side
of the vehicle, and little more was seen of
him. Riley was Immediately arrested,
and the same night the police arrested
two men, after most desperate fight, in
the upper part of the city, who were
charged with fastening a projecting board
to the fence, which they knew would up
set Mckeeyer, as he had the inside track
and was very near the fence. The sport
lng fraternity are intensely excited over
the affair, and it Is not improbable that
more calamities may result from this un-
fortunate race.
