not both, to a Iudicrous degree. Let any
one propose some decisive measure that
savours of a little boIdness and that has
no spice Of personality, but requires the
courage of showing ones face, advancing
an opinion that may not be at first popu-
lar and openly standing by it and defend
ing it. What happens then? Why our
corner-heroes at once get appalled, and
retire with their tails between their legs.
The proposal or suggestion falls dead to
the ground. 1t seems almost impossible,
for instance, to get up a public meeting
in this Island. The very thought of ex-
erclslng this right, so important a one
that it has been found necessary to ecure
it to US by our Constitution, causes at
once a panic among our political-men.
No! What we like is a little quiet chat
under the galleries or in a private store.
There we are brave, clench our fists and
talk big but we like secrecy, no body is
inclined 10 come forward and say 81 did
it,"
We have been led into this train of
thought by hearing that a petition to
His Majesty the King is being, we would
almost say clandestinely, handed about
for signature. We have not been able to
obtain as much as a glimpse Of it, no APP
plication has been made to us to give
publicity either to the contents of the
petition, or TO the fact that it was being
circulated. All the information we have
been able to procure with regard to it is
that a '%'patriotic" lawer has received
5000 for writing it. Now, we sincerely
hope that those who may have signed the
address will get their moneys worth.
We also trust that it is better one than
that which the Colonial Council so lately
passed, for that we must now candidly
confess did not quite meet our views.
However, it was graciously and speedily
answered by His Majesty, and remember
ing this, we are at a loss to know what
object the new address proposes to itself.
Perhaps one of those who have signed it
will be kind enough to give US an answer.

The Bank of North Carolina.

We hear that the old Bank Of North Carolina is
about to go into bankruptcy If this be So and the
be contaminated, the State of North Carolina will
lose S5OOOOO of its literary fund.- and the University
$685. 600. We understand also that there are other
funds, the property of widows. orphans and chari-
ties which will also be lost. This bank at the
close of the in better condition than any other
in the State, and it is in the worst condition.
Mr. Geo. W. Mordecai, of this city, has been and Is
the President of this bank, but whether its present
condition is to be attributed solely to his nudicious
financial management not aware.
At all events he must have had full share in the
matter owing to his official position, and suggest
to the State authorities and to the Legislature
whether some investigation ought not to be had in
order that it may be known how this great loss fell
upon the State. Mr. Mordecai has usually been con-
sidered good fnancier, and we are therefore the
more surprised at the denouenaent about to be made
in regard to this Bank. Without doing injustice to
any one say, let at least have a full nvesti-
cation in the case that may know who has
squandered the money Of the people.--Raf Standard
We too, say let there be strict investigation of
the management of this Bank. We believe that the
President and Directors have managed the institu-
ton very badly since the close of the AS a
stakeholder, want thorough investigation made.
Since writing the above we have seen a published
letter from Mr. Mordccai, the President of the Bank,
stating that the reason the Bank went into Bank
ruptcy was because it had been sued by R. Y. Me-
Alden, Esq, who held $40, 600 of its notes. But Mr.
Mordecai is careful not to state that he had pre-
viousy preferred of the creditors of the Bank
by paying them dollar for dollar while he paid others
only from 40 to GO cents in the dollar We are in
formed that he paid the old Bank of the State its
antewar deposit in FULL while ind> iduals got little
or nothing. Such management unfair to the
individual stockholders of the Bank of North Caro-
lima well to bill-holders and depositors
We can raise reasonable objections to other trans
actions Of the President and Directors but we know
it will do good now The Bank is to be wound
up and the stockholders, of course, will realize
anything for their stock

Office the morning after the election Grant and Col
fax elected President and Vice President of the
United States by large majority of the Electoral
1t is estimated that Grant will receive 200 of the
2i Electors 1t is believed that the following States
have voted for Grant Maine New HAMPSHIRE
Vermont: Massachusetts,, Connecticut, Rhode Island,
Pcnnsy lvania Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, illinois, Michi-
gan, Wisconsin,, Minnesota, Kansas, West Virginia
Tennessee California, Nebraska Missouri Florida.
Nevada; and probably North and South Carolina
The following vote for Seymour: New York. Gcor-
gia, Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky, Alabama
Louisiana, New Jersey, Oregon.
The Democrats have gained % or 30Congressmen
In this State the Republican majority has been
greatly reduced if not overcome In nearly all the
counties heard from the Democrats gain
Nr Shober is certainly elected to Congress from
tnis the 9Th District, and probably Mr Durham in
the 7h District. The other FIVE Districts elect Re-
puhlicans
Nr Shohers majority in this District is 1865.
There is Democratic gain in Wilkes of $50.

A Fatal Riot on Tuesday.

With feelings Of deep regret record the fact
that fatal riot occurred in our streets on Tuesday
last, III which one negro killed and
eight were wounded
We have made dlligent enquiry Of gentlemen of
reliability, who witnessed the rise and progress Of
the melancholy difficulty, and have no hestancy in
endorsing the following the facts, for they can
ana Will be substantiatcd, if necessary, by our i'll
dormant before a Judicial tribunal
Soon after the polls were opened on Tuesday
morning, negro presented his ballot to VOTE who
was known by The clerk of the election to have been
once convicted Of felony and publicly whipped The
clerk reminded him of it, but the negro told him he
could not prove it. person standing by, who
khe" Inc lact was appealed TO and corroborated the
statement OF the clerk. Upon this the negro turned
TO the clerk and said it a ID lie. OF course,
knock down was the response, and for few
ments there was great danger of a general row, but
the contestants were separated, with nobody hurt
\ large number of negroes were assembled around
the polls at the time, who became greatly excited
and many of them immediately left but in a few
moments returned armed with clubs and bludgeons.
From that time until about l o'clock, the negroes
banded together in squads of twenty to forty almost
occupied the public square, while one or perhaps
two walked up and down the main street with sleeves
rolled UP, eudgel in hand and in Il bullying swag-
gcring manner. But LITTLE attention paid TO this
folly by the white people, and no difficulty occurred
until number of negroes commenced an attack upon
of their color. who had yeted the Conservative
ticket. 1t was evident that this mans life in
danger. and few young men determined to protect
(ahout 20Ol gathered around and commenced abusing
them. One negro fired pistol at Mr. NJ. Ledford,
while another struck him with n stone, and stones
were thrown at the white from various quarters.
At this indiscriminate firing commenced from the
white men. and general, hasty retreat of the ne
groes followed.
We regret to state that one poor negro was killed,
while seven eight were wOunded-mostly flesh
! wounds.
No deplores the occurrence more than oursclf;
and believe in that express the feelings of
every white citizen of the town; and if the true ei-
zcns of Asheve had had any influence with the ne
groes, it would have occurred, for evident,
from the time of the first fracas that terrible out
break brewing, and if the proper authorities. or
those who profess be the only friends ofhe negroes

AMI fatal difficulty would not have happened. In
stead of that friendly advice given the ne
groes. and few of the more ignorant ofhem became

showing what will be the result, if the Radicals con-
tinue in exciting the negroes to acts of violence upon

The Election Day.

1t is matter of congratulation to al North Caro-
inians that good order prevailed in this State the
day of election. Although the Southern white peo-
people have been reported at the North being no
better than barbarians, and although corners"
ohce-hunters &c have accused people of almost
every horrible crime, yet the greatest
known In this country has passed off in this State
and In all the Southern States with one or two ex-
ceptions,) without riot or bloodshed; and this too
while the laws of Congress- and the action of certain
rulers. were shaped degrade and punish the white
man in the South.
In Savannah. New Orleans and at a few ether
points, there was some fighting between the whites
and blacks, but in every the blacks
worsted though out numbering the whites from two,
four and six to This should be a warning to
the colored people not to provoke diff
cultes with the whites for there is nothing more
certain than that the colored will be DESTROYED
in a conflict of races. We are in favor of treating
colored people kindly, fairly and justly, but at the
same time them, a friend, against thrust
ing themselves forward the rulers of the white
race, acting in any offensive manner The colored
man mast remember that in any serious conflict be-
tween the the white men of all parties will
stand together, matter how much they may have
differed in politics heretofore. We are as good a
friend to the colorcd people any the
earth, and therefore them against conflicts
with the white If conflict comes, those who
have received the of the coored people cannot
save thcp from harm.
We can say that in this section, with but few ex-
eeptions, the coored people have behaved well and
deserve credit.
P. S.--Sincc putting the above in type we regret
10 learn that there riot in Asheville cleo
tion day, between few white men and about 200
negroes. AS will be by the account which
copy from the Asheville News the colored people
provoked the difficulty by their insolence and i'm
proper conduct.

A CARD.

would respectfully inform my numerous friends
in this section Of the State, and the adjoining Dis
ricts of South Carolina that the end for which my
Physician recommended my engaging in some active
pursuit for the restoration of my health, broken
down in the active duties of the Gospel Ministry,
having been sufficiently restored to enable my early
return to that work, have determined to close
out my entire stock of Goods by the lst of January
ensuing. At that time expect, Providence permit
ting to my ministerial labors; and in order
to enable me to do go, my friends aid me by
calling and purchasing my stock, which guarantee
to sell them at GREATLY RED1CED PRICES
Those who know need not be informed that this
is advertising dodge to procure trade but plain
statement of facts. The public who may favor
with CALL well the interests of the Church Of
which ain a Minister, will, it is to BIO hoped, be
benefited by aiding in so audabe purpose.

The Effect.

The Norfolk Journal makes the following sensible
remarks IN 10 the effect Of Grants election on pnbc
Affairs:
But though the candidates of The Democracy for
President and Eice-P resident have been defeated
tie party has had better luck in the election of Gov
errors and Congressman. 1t will be far stronger
next year than IT has been this both in the State
governments and III the House Of Representatives.
We envy not General Grant his Presidency; for he
has bcsn elected by party that is composed of all
sorts of mat erlals. Immense numbers of Democrats
voted for him, well as Conservative Republicans
anil rcdmouthed fanatics. lie cannot please them
ali; but however he acts he infallibly make flu
rious enemies Of very large portion OF his party
W, see not how he carry the government SUD
ported by any large fraction of the Heterogeneous
mass tLat elected him. The Democrats, too. will
hrmcr!orth DC strong enough to have say in the
affair. of the nation, aud il General Grant has any
regard for the principles Of the Constitution, they
VIII have very big say.
il may be expected that we should express our
opinion to how the election of Grant and Cola
will aiec; the South. On this point we can sec no
especial reason to go into fits. Whatever add ionul
cvll Is to be inflicted upon us-if that be possible
will be done 10y Congress before the inla guration of
General Grant, and when he assumes the reins of
government, he will not be able to do much more
harm; bat if be il f:ir-ninded and honest -hea ed
maH, he may do US & vast amount of good.
IN most respects we suppose that things will so on

his bus!ne>s, be hurt much by the elect
of Gen. Grant. If Seymour and Blair had been

LARGE EARS OF CoRN-Asa sample Of what
can be produded in York County, Mr John
Walker has sent us an ear Of corn raised on his
farm. The cob measures fourteen inches in
length and bears nearly nine hundred unusually
large and plump grains. It is of the walker"
variety, which has attained quite local reputa-
ton.
Unwilling to acknowledge the corn" Mr. A.
j. Daviney, has left with us an ear of the "gourd
seed" variety, the cob of which has upon it near
twelve hundred grains Both are fine specimens,

female seminaries of the North publish that
the young ladies will receive instruction
in not only all the ologies, but in the sci
ence of cooking. The sweet little creatures
have each turn at stewing and broiling, maxim (
cakes and custards, and all such things as the
mistress of household should be presumed to
know. The pretty cooks are very apt scholars
