Th? N. C. Congressmen on Internal Ecvenue Beform. A Washington letter, dated June 5th, showt what beenrred in the House Democratic caucus in regard to the repeal of the Internal Revenue laws: 'Since rthe action of Col. Cowles and Col. Johnson in caucus last weelf, the delegation ha agreed to vote for the Mills bill, provided they are given a fair show on the' floor of the House to offer and discuss the amendments intended to repeal or. greatly amelio- pecial credit will be due to the Hon. W. II. H. Cowles, who boldly took the initntive and declared last Monday night that! he would bolt the caucus before he would bind himself not to vote for any amendment which would lessen in any way.any of the iniquitous burdens imposed by the internal reve nue system. At a later : caucus Col. Cowles mnide a speech which created consjderable excitement. He spoke forcibly and to the point. He declar ed Nlhat ho 'arbitrary ruling of any '.Democratic caucus should prevent him trom using his utmost endeavors to carry out the known-will of his constit uents. To them and to the D em oc rat io party of -North . Carolina he first owed "allegiance. ! The convention which had just renominated liim had instructed him an0w as to what his duty was in this particular, and that duty he jdid not intend to shirk for any possible consideration. So far as it was in hi9 power to effect-cither a repeal of the whole system, or the abo lition of the fruit brandy tax, or any other modification of the internal rev enue law, as it exists, itshould be ex erted to the utmost. He demanded as a right that he should be heard on the floor of the House on this subject, and no caucusj would ever bind him nol to exercise that right to the utmost limit. Coj. Johnson then arose and said that Col. Cowles' position coincid ed entirely with his own; that he, too, would reitjse to consent to bo botnm by caucus hctiori in a matter of such vital importance to his constituents. Mr. Mil s then took the floor, and en deavored tj convince Col. Cowles that concessions had already been nia(1e to the North j Carolina delegation. Col. Cowles replied to hitn firmly but courteously, and told him it was im possible for. him to vote for his bill without a chance to also vote for tin amendments which. his people. demand- Jinieiiuiiieius w inen uks ueopit e should be added to the bill. If thi change should be given to the North Carolina delegation on the floor of the House, and they should fail in effect-; ing anything in this direction, the) would theiii vote for the Milks bill, but the attempt must be made on the flooi of the House of Representatives. Col. Rowland then suggested that the cau cus should wait the action of the North Carolina Convention, then in session. He thought the platform, as enunciated; by that Convention, would be a guide to the delegation as to "what their course should be. That platform, to my mind, settles the matter beyond the shadoWj of a doubt, and binds the North Carplina delegation to. take a strong position for every possible re peal of thejinterna! revenue law. Col. AlcOlam my stated at this caucus thai he felt assured North Carolina could be relied on to roll up a good Demo cratic majority, no matter what be came of the Mills bill or of the inter- nai revenue synem. r;nce. tnis last caucus, anu since tne adjuarument of the htate convention at italeigli. the sentiment of the delegation is abo t this: The' will support the' Mills bill if they : re allowed to give the amend merits they desire to add to it a fair showing on the floor of the Ho; If theseiimendments should be offered and rejected they arc then prepared to do all in their power by their votes and in fluence to Contribute to narfvh'afinonv ami pass the Mills bill with or without the alterations they now urge, t do not think there is arrrinn in 'the delega tion4 who 'will recede fronj,this position. The Hon. j. S. Heinferson Was present, at th? , caucus in w,bieh Co:" Cowles took the bpld stand i alluded- to -above. He tools no part, however, in the dis- enson, as he evideutty wished to hear rrom-tne ptuw vonveiuiorr ueiore ne committed j hitmejf. .HeJiassaid all of the froife brandy tax even if a Re- publican made the proposition.

Meihodist' minister, y 'associations were j connected with that church. The ou- ilv exception to ibarfect harmony of sentiinent in the fumilv man 1 fasted hv Cuff;'" and his appeared -he more Kin- gular because he ;had been from earliest, puppyhood in-our family,, and had uo opportunity to know ianvtJiing about other denominations. L ll'e was, never theless a thorough; Baptist and he ex hibited his perferncfrl for the Baptist church in a veryj deeidfel tnanner:- 1. There was near pur hs;coantr) log-meetinc hofisei nseaiw a "union meeting house, and.; also for school purposes. The Primitive Baptist- ''Hardshells"-jjccnpied this - house once a month, j iand the Methodist preacher on the circuit preached in it once a month. The relations between" the two churches were not as cordial as they ought to hafe been, seeing they professed to be iiir.st-class Christians. The Baptist did not attend Methodist preaching, nor did the Methodists go to hear the Baptist preacher. It was very seldom that iany One, except Cuff, ever went from our house to Baptist meeting yet that dog never failed to be present on Saturday and Sunday of the Baptist monthly meeting, lhis might have been passed oyer without remark if he hnd also attended the Methodist preaching, but he was care ful never to pnt hisj foot inside the door on the daj' the Methodist preachy er held forth. My brother and 1 notic ed this strange partiality for the Baptist Church on the part of old "Cuff, and wcveay strongly disapproved of it, and remonstrated withjhini after the fash ion of bovs with! dogs, but all our scolding and whipping were in vain. Cuff seemed to be, "set in his nations " and our persecutions of which I am now ashamed, only seeming to make him more devout arid constunt in his attendance upon! j Baptist meetings. The conduct of tjie dog attracted at tention, and he became the subject of remark. . Some tilings-were said by our Baptist friends more complimentary to the dog than to h master; however, master stood very well in the neighbor hood. The only! point of invidious comparison was in reference to ques tions of theology and ! denominational affiliation; in these matters the dog was considered more orthodox than his master. 2. Matters went on for sever al years in this way. the dog still faith ful to the Church! of his choice, and his strange conduct the subject bf oc casional remark.! ; when the Bapt ist congregation built a new church, two miles and a half from the old school house where they formerly worshipped. On the day the nejw church was dedi cated Cult was present, though not a member of our family or any out; con nected with us went to church. - How he learned or the change in tne place of worship and the time of the dedica tion was a mystery; to every body. I do not underhand it ;to-day. A nd so, reg ularly every month, as long as ip was able to wafk, did that faithiul old dog ntttnd thd ' Baptist church at Attmnt Hi.rmony,two uniles and a half from home. He lived to be 12 vears old, when he died,! and (went where all I have relatetl only and! have refrained to account for the the good dogs go. facts in this storv from any attempi ingnlar conduct often heard my fa of the dog.

MAN WHO 13 XOTtUKIXY TO DTE I?f JL ! j B.AILE0AD ACCIDE2TT. lUERtsEUBQ, Penn. June C It has always been a superstition among the railroad men that one accident on a niilroadf no . matter how nnnsnal the cirapmstances connected with it nright be, s certain to be. folio wed by two more of a similar character in a'short time.- The truth of this has been noted repeatedly, bet neyer in so strik ingj a manner as in three recent occur rences. These three accidents were alsof' attended b a piece orgood'for tnne to one individual' that makes theie Occurrences still more reraarable. ; B. Wj AViUiams is employed by a ,Nef vYork railroad as buyer of ties and lumber. His business takes him to various parts of the country. A fort night ago he was in the north-western part of VVest Virgi nia. He had busi ness at a lumber station in the moun tains known- as Slider's Mills. A narrow-gnage railroad runs by heavy gmrs ami snarp enrves into tnis j-e-1 gioii. No passenger train ever run on this road. Williams' had intended to go to the mills in the caboose of a freight or-lumber train. He had tak en his place in the caboose when he learped that there was some doubt abont his being able to get back in tim to 'keep 4 an important engage ment, and he made up his mind to postpone the trip. The train was in motion when he came to this conclu sion, but he jumped off. While the train was going up one of the steepest grades on this road it broke in two, the caboose and two of the cars separating from the other cars and at once start ing hack down the mountain. The conductor and brake man were in the caboose. The speed of the runaway ears became te.riffic. and at last they were thrown from the track. They pUmgedidown a steep embankment, and jthe ponductor and the brakeman were crwshed to death in the wreck of the aboose. Tuesday of last week Williams was in' tlie Pjocono lumber region, in Mon roe county, Penn., along the line of the Delaware and Luckawiia Railroad. He wis bt a! mill near tocono'Summit, at wjlich place he WaS: to board the ca boose ofjlan east-bound stock train. Hp got tjd the station just in time to see the. ti-ain passing out. His disap pointment was great, as he had an agreement to meet a man in Strouds burg on important business. An hour orjso later his pleasure:;!, miss Wig the train was niucn greatei' than his disap pointment. The Pocono grade at that place is '. A miles long, and 00 feet to t hp milej ; The stock cars were fitted with; air brakes, but as the train start ed down the mountain the engineer found that they would not work. The train wa composed of 23 cars loaded with caitle, besides the engine and caboose. It ran iiway down the grade, clearing jthe 14 miles in 11 miles. The head; car jumped -the track, and all; the ojhers piled after it in a ravine nearly 1U0 feet deep. Two or three persons qh the train were killed, and 400 cattle were crushed to death in the ruins; 0, Jjtgt Thursday William's business called him to the lumber region of McKean j county, Penn. A lumber Known as the West Branch niilrdad Rail road i connects the Erie with the lumber mills. No road in this coun try encojdntcrs such bleep grades or makes such short curves sis this lumber railroad, j It is confined entirely to traffic inl lumber and freight. Wil liams had gone up the road to Steck lerts Milb. He had intended to return that same afternoon to make a con nection for Bradford. Befor? the train he 'was to take came along he conclud ed for so lie reason to wait until the next day. The train consisted of five cars loaded with lumber, one freight car, the engine .and- a -caboose. In going down what is known as the tlazletoiij Mill grade the trainmen lost corjtrol of the train.- It dashed down thej mountain at terrific speed, and at a sharp curve near Belknap's Camp left the! rails. The train was thrown down a seep embankment, and in the wreck ou4 p;issduger. the conductor, and the fi rei an' yeiv killed. There were .sever al other persons riding in the .cjiboose, everv onei of whom were badly li urt. two fatally. A iman with whom il liams suidjhe would have been sitting if lie had been on the train was one of the fatal lUnjured passengers. ' Besides these three remarkable inter positions lof fate in his behalf Wil- liaihsi'savfei'thut he escaped from two preVious frightful accidents bv similar irodd f ortlme. Some years ago he w at Lackavyaxen. on the Delaware D. visiort of 'the Krie railway.

In spite of the interruptions to his studies, he ranked with the brightest boys, and was re marked for his fixedness of purpose. He "went back to the farm, and. after his day's work was done, read law by the light of the kitchen fire. Subse quently he was admitted to the bar. worked hard, distinguished himself, and was elected a judge. Some years later he was sent to Congress, where he is now known as Edward Lane, the Representative from the seventeenth congressional district of Illinois. This sketch from actual life shows what golden opportunities lie within the grasp of the poorest boys in this Republic, if they only do their best in whatever circumstance Providence may place them. The Hearoe'i Lack The Directors of the Goldsboro Col ored Asylum, decided at a late meeting1 to enlarge the building and capacity of the institution, in order to increase its facilities. This is the way Democratic rule provides for the unfortunate of I the colored citizens of the State. The tax, whereby' this beneficence is provid ed, is paid ior the most pavt, by the white ' people of the State, and the , white people of the State are for the mot part in the Democratic party. Notwithstanding this evidence of phi lanthropy, the main body of the color ed voters of the State, unite with and insignificant band of white Republicans, in opposition to the Democratic pirtv. In other Words, the' turn their backs upon the party which is doing great things for them m the way of educ;- tion,and building and sustaining asy lumnsat heavy cost, and ally themselv es with the Republican party, which has left no memorial of its love for them when it was in power in the State.
