THE YANKEE COLONY IN BURKE From the Burke Blade. , lu the House of Kepre8entativ4fa ou ane8tUv,vtlicro was a running live ...?nnfpR ili-lmte .on the joint resolution extending the time for the withdrawn! of wlitkv now in bond until jmy i, icc, heretofore noted in our telepraph columns. In the course of if, the question being on an amendment (which was adopted) to strike out all after the enacting clanse and insert "that a reduction of the tax on di.-tilled spirits ft inexpedient." Mr. Robbing; Mr. Chairman there are one or two things which I, as a "member of the Committee-of Ways and "Means, desire to say on this resolution. One thing that I do not wish forgotten is that the original resolution, if passed, will not of itself reduee. the tax on whisky in i bond Unless further legislation is had,, I such whisky will have to pay ninety cents I tax. So, if the House passes the resolu l finn as originally reported, it will still be I in the power of "the House to prevent the tax ou that whisky from being put below 1 ninety cents, if such be its wish. It is necessary, then, Mr. Chairman, for j this House to-day to pass the amendment I of the", gentleman from Massachusetts, J Mr. Butler, which says in ellcct that f you shall reduce the tax on whisky in ; boud below ninety cents UVhy not leave tho Ways and Means Committee, now en l gagd in perfecting a measure of revenue, after looking over the whole tield, to do whatever is wike and proper iu this as in j every other particular? Why tie their f hands and say, You may fix the revenue ? HYstem. both internal and external ; but " fill 11 T VAI1 must not do ! Sir, if I it is a wise and fair way to act in refer I once to everything ilse, why not permit ns to perfect our report also in this re ) spect T As to the proposition of the gentleman from Ohio, Mr. Foster, to substitute for I this declaration that the whisky tax shall not be reduced, I will say simply this : We are urged to vote for that in order to J settle the question at once. We will soon vote on this proposition and we will settle ! the question equally well by voting it I down. By that means we will indicate our purpose to reduce the tax on whisky and declare to the country, that we will sustain the Committee of Ways and Means , on ,suoh a. report. I Mr..Clwirman, w hy not leave your coru- i' niittee having this important subiect in charge 1 do not ask it merely aa a cour tesy to the committee, but out of respect to the great interest involved why not. . 1-ivi t!m poimnhtee whirl). I inav say, I ! I believe, w ithout any impropriety, is now I almost ready-to report to this House a f well-considered and much improved sys- tern of revenue, external and internal why not leave the committee free -in all I these matters to perfect their bill, and not I sav beforehand thev shall reduce the tax Ion spirits! Why limit their action on I this or any other jtem ? If we can show I the tax on spirits or anythnig else can be I reduced, and such reduction will not hurt anybody, nor hurt the revenue, nor op- pressany class, what objection can there- l be to it ? But we need not bring in nowtheques I tion of reducinir the tax. Why not allow ! these distillers the extension of time pro : posed in the resolution for payment of the tax ? Their market being destroyed I for the present by the agitation on this subject, why should we compel them to ! pay thiR tax at once, and thus force them ' to invest immense "sums of money in taxes which they will not be able to realize upon until you have unfettered their market by I linal action on the revenue bill soon to come from the Committee of Ways and 4 Means. - I This is the first time I have ever been I tokl that it is a wise policy on the part of 1 this (iovernment to tax one of our own 'productions as much as it will bear without I being utterly crushed. If that is the true ! principle of taxation, I have yet to learn I it. Here is a tax-upon one of the indus- I tries of this country, and yet yon say that the true principle isL to increase the tax Until that business shows signs of death. . I This is not 1113- view of the subject. My I idea is that you shonld leave U margin of I profit lor every occupation ; not load the horse down till y"uusee his back isbreak ins: before you take off some of his bur den. Should we, necessarily, tax spirits nine- I ty cents per gallon because that will bring ; '$52,000,000 revenue ? It is by no means t self-evideut that we ought to exact that I much revenue from that imlustrv. merely because we can do i t. I think it well worth I inquiry, at leasts whether we may not ad- just taxation upon that interest, more fair J ly and equitably, as eom pared with other I subjetjs of taxation, so as to make the I public burdens fall more equally upon all. I Leave your Committce-of Wavs and Means 1 free to do this if thev can. The yankee colony, nine miles above Morganton,is slowly but surely assuming the dignity of a town, and although the village has not as vet reached either the size or importance which its projectors had hoped for it, still its prospects are very bright for the near future, as its outposts are leiug manned by the very best senti nels. Since our last visit Mr. G. F. Chase, from Maine, has purclrased a farm on the extreme southern borders of the town site, and is now making necessary repairs pre vious to entering somewhat extensively into the nursery business. Mr. Delbert Barker has punrashed a hundred and fit-" teen acres on the eastern borders of the town.

Mr. Barker is a native.of Hampden coun ty, Mass., where superior farming fs the rule. Mr. James G rover, also from Hampdeu county, Mass., has purchased a small farm just north of the postoffice, where he intends, by the thorough know ledge he possesses, of changing the color of things, to change his acres of poor red clay into that black, greasy soil, which seems to tell of full granary an d7 gorged fruit and potato bins. Mr. Warren Glo ver, from Eastern Massachusetts, is now at the settlement, trying to secure a fit ting site for a first-class flouring, corn, and saw-mill, to which it is proposed to add a shingle machine, tub and pail machinery, and plauer and matcher, with sundry small saws.

News was received in this ' city yesr terday evening of the death of C. F. Young, 'a prominent citizen of Yancey county, who with Col. Folk, represented the counties of Caldwell, Burke, Yancy, Mitchell and McDowell in the Senate of this State in the session of the Legislature, 1876-'77. They particulars of his death are very meagre, but our information is that during the heavy snow storm which prevailed iu that section of the State a few days ago, he was caught oat andwas frozen to death. At any rate he was found dead in the snow, and there being 110 marks of violence upon his person, it wasnaturally inferred that he had per ished from the cold. He, was fk leadingitL?finf hi county, and in fact was among the most popular and influential 'men of that section of the State.- Cliarloite Observer. Mexico Open to the Colored Face. The New Orleans Times has this para graph : It is reported that the discontented col ored people who want to be generals and judges and congressmen, and who, in the belief that their chances for civil fame in this region are gone, have been agita ting emigration to Liberia, have aband oned the latter happy land and are now thinking of the flowery vales ami silver mountains of Mexico. If they can't hold their own with the Anglo-Saxon in the race of life they think they could beat the Mexican greaser and give him two in the game. Mexico is said to be the col ored man's paradise. It is not only an abolition country, but it is a place where social equality is "not a mere byword am mockery." In fact they practice mixing not only in society, but also in matrimony. President Diaz is himself a much mixed statesman. -J UOIll Or Sil llMtT-I LHMU llliUI r.;,m liorlitninir owed, all I wide onen closet doors, pivmir their con- .,0 1 u.favp it. r Am tn the 1 tenta rontinuallv to viaw f Tor no mat- uou 1 r . ,- j-,-,-- r.Tf r. : r-i"s m t Terrible Death A, Man Kaocletyrom a , Slnit the Door.

Clev. Herald. The claim of Boston to be considered, as Mr. Cook designates it, a great "Amer ican" town, being now under considera tion, facts like the following, presented by our neighbor, the Pilot, are certainly pertinent, unwelcome though they majy. be. Three-fourths of .all Boston's school children are said to be Irish-American, and in proportion to its size, -Boston has the largest Irish and Irish-American pop ulation of any city iu the country. The last report of the City Registrar snows tliat of the fathers of the 10,77; children born s . . in the city in 1877, :,0.- were born in American and 3J49 in Ireland. Of the mothers 2.U1G were born in th United Stnres and 3.-229 in Ireland. There were also born 830 children of British-American parents, a large proportion of. whom are claimed as belonging to the Irish branch. It is further affirmed that the Irish in Boston have not only more births, but fewer deaths, than the Americans The direction in which these facts point is unmistakable. 4 i i i "THE LITTLE SHOES DID IT." fA few days ago two ladies w ere crossing-Loss meek, Ala., on horseback, one of whom earned a babv.

It says : "The American Senate has declared that it would not be a viola tion of the public honor to pay the bonds in dcureciated coin, and that is shame. , enough for the. Amerieau people for one day." We all know that the Tribune has a sort of Syndicate contract with some body to guard the Honor of the Nation, aud these things are disheartening. The Tribune should cheer up. The country has survived the shame of Colfax, Oakes Ames, Grant, Babcock, Belknap, Simon Cameron and the Louisiana Returning Board, and may be able to live down the rascality of Stanley Mathews. It is not worth while lor us all to go in mourning Washington Post, Don.

For his part he 'wanted to have a margin for profit. You now tax it ninety cents per gallon, aud raise from it $52,000,000. Washington Special to liichmond Dispatch. On tobacco 40,000,000 are raised.

He arose, but looked for a moment very confused. All he could say was : "The little shoes, they did it !" With a thick voice, as if his heart was in his throat, he kept repeating this. There was a stare of perplexity on every face, and at length some thoughtlessyoung peo pie began to titter. The man, in all his em barrassment, heard this sound and rallied at once. The light came into his eyes with a flash he drew himself up and ad dressed the audience; the choking went from hi throat. "Yes, friends," he said, in a voice that cut its way clear as a deep toned bell, "whatever you may think of it, I've told you the truth ; tho little shoes did it ! I was a brute and a fool ; strong drink had made me both, and starved me into tho bargain. I suffered ; I deserved to suffer ; but I didu't suffer alone no man does who has a wife and child, for the woman gets the worst share. But I am no speaker to enlarge on that ; I'll stick to the little shoe. I saw one night, when I was all but done for, the saloon keeper's child holding out her feet foe her father to look at her fine new shoes. It was a simple thing ; but, friends, no fist every struck me such a blow as those lit tle new shoes. They kicked reason into me. "What business have I to help clothe others with fineries, and- provide not even coarse clothing for my own, but let them go bare?" said I ; and there out side was my shivering wife and blue- chilled child, on a bitter cold night. I took hold of my little one with a grip, and saw her chilled feet! Men ! fathers ! if the little shoes smote me, what must the feet do ! I put them, cold as ice, to my breast ; they pierced jne through. Yes, the little feet walked right into my heart, and away walked my selfishness. I had a trifle of money left ; I bought a loaf of bread and then a pair of little shoes. I never tasted anything but a bit of that bread all the Sabbath day, aud went to work like mad on Monday fc and from that day I spent no more money at the public-house. That's all I've got to MV IT WAS THE LITTLE SHOES THAT DIP IT' at Paris.
