TIE PRE,Ls OF CoAsTlyG-A Boy KILLED
AND Two OTHERS Fatally lNJUEED-A TER
R!GI. SCENE.- BiItgtHniOn, ". T., February
IA terrible accident happened II this
city Saturday night, by which young man
named Charles Williams was instantly Killed,
two Others probably fatally injured, and >cv-
ciu receiving injuries Of j more or less Sc
ri0us nature. 4 large crowd OF young men
and boys were coasting on the Oak-Strect
hill near the HVater-Cure, using boD-slcd,
lpoN which they piled promiscuously. Two
larre torches were placed in front on the
sled to warn people and teams Gifts approach,
as it went 1T almost lightning speed down the
slippery descent. Several trips hau been maze
in safety, and the sled, crowded with the hlll-
rious passengers, had been again started, when
a team belonging 20 Mr.. Golf came along, AND
had just commenced the ascent OF the hllI
when the torches warned him OF the ap-
proach Of the sled, which was about in the
centre of the hill. The shouts Of The boys
aud the glare Of tn" torches frightened INC
horses, and they became SO ulmlnageaDie
that Mr.. Golf could not turn them out OF the
road. Tie sled, then at the height Of its We
locity. could not be controlled, and went
crushing into the horses. The COLLISION was
lri.htflll. One horse was killed outright
tie wagon badly wrecked, and the slec
dashed into hundred pieces. The boys
horses, and wreck, were all piled in one con
fused mass, ana young Williams was found
1T the bottom Of it all, dead. John Wesler
AGED twelve years, was taken out inScnSlhle
and another boy was found u be seriously i'll
jlircd. -Four others received cuts and bruises

THE FIRST DISTRICT.
EX-President johnson Declines to

Ex-President johnson Declines to
Become a Candidate for Congress-.
From the Bristol Courier, April 19.
Our rfellow-cOuntyman, VIM. D. Haynes,
Esq, feeling an interest in the efiOft to in
duce eX-PTesident johnson to make the
race for Congress in the first district, visited
him at his home in Greeneville last week,
and had free and full conversation with
him. While Mr.. Johnson feels grateful to
his fellow-citizens for the confidence they
have in him and for the honor they would
confer, yet he positively declines to allow
his name to be used in connection with the
canvass. He expresses a lively interest in
the success of the party in the district, but
says he can imagine no circumstance, or set
of circumstances, which would cause him to
reconsider his often expressed determination
not to be a candidate for Congress III the
district. Feeling that the measure of his
ambition is full, he prefers the quiet of pri-
vate life to the doubtful honor which the prof
fered position would confer. lie feels that
the State, through her representatives in
the Legislature, put a slight upon him in
his defeat for the position Of United States
Senator, and if it should be tie will of the
people of the State to remove that slight,
he would have no objection; but he will
not even seek that. 1t must be free and
voluntary on their part.
While a large majority Of the Conserva-
tive Democratic voters of the district will
regret the determination which their dis
tinguished tellow-citizen has reached, yet,
even that majority will admit that it is the
correct one.
Since writing the above we have received
the Greeneville Sentinel Of the 18th, which
has placed Mr.. Juhuson's name at its mast
head as its candidate for Congress. We
are not informed by the Sentinel as to the
HGoabilities of his accepting the position.
III it viii give us any hope Of a favorable
Consideration of the matter by Mr.. John
son we are ready to second its efforts.

CONGRESSIONAL.
Senate Passes Texas Pacific Bill.

SENATE.
WASHINGTON, April 20.-Mr. Scott
moved to take up House bill to repeal the
duty on tea and coffee.
Mr.. Trumbull moved to amend it so as to
repeal the duty on salt and coal.
at the expiration of the morning hour
the unfinished business, the Texas Pacific
Railroad bill came up.
Mr.. Ramsey moved to lay it on the table
for the purpose of taking up the postal code
bill. Lost.
Amendments were adopted limiting the
issue Of construction bonds to $4,000 per
mile, and authorizing the company to in
clude in the mortgage to secure their land
bonds any land they may acquire by con-
solidation with other companies to whom
land grants have been made, provided, how
ever, that this act shall not be construed to
revive or make any land grant whatever; /;
and provided further, that lands so acquired
shall be subject to all obligations, limita-
tions and conditions now existing by law,
and that this act shall not be construed to
authorize the diversion of any lands, etc,
from the purpose for which they were
granted; also providing that the company
shall commence the construction OF the
road from San Diego eastward, within one
wear from the passage of this act, and shall
construct after the second year not less
than 25 miles a year until a junction Is
formed with the line from the East.
Upon an amendment authorizing the
Grand Tower and San Diego Pacific Rail
road Company to build road from Fulton,
Ark, TO a point on the Texas and Pacific
road, discussion arose as to the right OF
Congress to grant the right Of way author
ling the construction of a road through
State, after which the amendment was
Withdrawn.
Mr. Salisbury offered an amendment pro-
viding that the road shall not be exempt
from taxation by any State which may
hereafter be farmed out of the territory
through whichit runs. Agreed TO.
An amendment providing that the road
from Marshall, Texas, shall be of uniform
guage, was agTeedtO.
Mr.. Kellogg from the committee reported
an amendment authorizing the Texas Pa
cific Railroad Company to complete and
operate a road from Marshall, Texas, to
Shreveport, La. Agreed to.
The bill having been considered in COM
mittee of the whole, it was reported to the
| Senate, and the amendments made in the

amendment for taxation by the State, which
was rejected. Yeas, II; nays, 20.
Mr.. Blair offered an amendment extend

OnuNrY CONVENTION.

We publish this morning the cali for a
convention of the Democracy of Davidson
county-to be held on the first Saturday
(the fourth day. of May. The State Con-
vention to be held on the 9th, will be one
of the most important political conventions
ever held in Tennessee. It is therefore i'm
portant that every district should be repre-
sented in each County Convention, and
that each county should be represented by
delegates or proxy.
1t will be seen that the local Executive
Committees are requested to call meetings
in their respective wards and districts for
the purpose of appointing delegates to rep
resent them in the County Convention.

Curious Debate Of COIOred MOthOdIsts.

Curious Debate Of COIOred MOthOdlsts.
NEW YORK, April 20.-In the colored
Methodist Episcopal Conference to-day an
earnest discussion took place of the ques-
ton of union with the white Methodist
Episcopal Church.
Rev. j. E. Gilbert declared himself utter
" opposed to union. Methodists are like
bees working in different hives and if the
whites thought they extracted their honey
from the top flowers it was no better than
that gathered by the blacks.
Rev. Jas. A. Jones said the various color
ed bishops and ministers would be lost in a
conference with the white church oracles.
Rev. Thos. James opposed the union.
The colored Methodists existed under sore
prescription. There was still niger pew.
The speaker said that if Jesus Christ, with
black skin and woolly hair came into the
city and entered the pulpit, white people
would not go to see him.
Bishop Clinton asked in astonishment,
What not go to see Jesus?
Rev. James answered. No, sir. He would
have to be whitewashed first, and religion
has got to be whitewashed. James appeal d
to the Conference to take higher and holier
ground and stand on Gods platform of
freedom and equality for all men.

officers of justice, regard United States Off
cials and bear a deadly resentment against
their interference. How long this iRperilnl
IN fnlperi0 farce is TO last we don't know,
but Congress ought to make an end of
it at once. What protection can be had In
the territory may be surmised from the fact
that man Like Proctor, who is said to have
already committed eighteen murders, when
he killed in her own house woman and
nearly killed her husband, both almost to-
tai strangers to him, can yet go unhung.
We are safe in stating that it is the stern de-
termination of the United States Marshal
OF this district to bring to justice the mur-
derous and rebellious crew in the nation at
any sacrifice and expense.

We publish an article from the Bristol

ex-President johnson declines to be a can
didate for Congress in the first district. If
it should comport with the views Of the ex-
President to run he would doubtless be
elected, and it would be matter of the
highest qualification not only to the Demo
cratic voters of Tennessee, but to the Demo
cracy of the Union TO see him again in
Congress. If the Legislature put slight
upon him, the Democratic people have
never done so. May we yet see him in the
halls OF Congress.
