Wili there be Steeplechase s-GreeIey as
the Winner.

The New York Sun, Radical, under the
above caption, gives the following forecasting
Of the sqaabble for the next Presidency,
based upon present indications. The pleas
ant sarcasm which it INDUCES towards Mr..
Greeley, is III keeping with its partiality for
the great and good man who halls both
from "New York AMI Texas" and in fact
bcstrides contineut
1t begus to look as if the burial Of the
dead issues of the past was going to operate
like the sowing of the tabled dragons teeth
OF Old, and bring forth crop of new issues
and new parties in the next Presidential
election.
For example, if the regular Democracy
start candidate on the line Of the New De-
parture, as they certainly will. then Alexan-
der IL. Stephens and his little clique of South
ern malcontents threaten to take their stand
on the Democratic platform Of 1868. and
nominate candidate who will not depart
| theretrom.
If the oficeholders of the Army Ring can
pack Convention with Gen. Grants rela-
o'Oho3 pShChSitilC,y UCuCldClOIS, dUQ hungry
expectants, and so put him on the track for
| second heat, the reaction in the Republican
party will certainly be so strong as to result
in bringing out an independent Republican
to run against the Viii House Dictator
| Here would be four candidates. But.
aside from these, it grows more and more
probable that there may be Labor Reform
candidate, and the signs increase of the Or
ganlzatlon OF sort of new Know-Nothing
party, which OF course would have its Presi-
dental representative in the campaign.-
Then, Mrs. Victoria G. Woodruff has already
entered the lists on the issue Of claiming
suffrage Tor women under the provisions Of
the Fourteenth Amendments; and she dc.
clares that, whoever else may Withdraw from
the light, her colors are nailed to the mast
Zen. Ben Butler also keeps bobbiug around,
waiting for something to turn up, or for
somebody to take him up; aud it would not
be surprising to see his aspirations gratifed
by nomination to the Vice Presidency on
the ticket with Mrs Woodruff.
Such is the present bewildering aspect of
the Presidential field There IS one plain
path out Of its mazes. 1t is for honest,
sensible men Of all parties to rally around
the Hon: Horace Greeley, LID, whose
name is already tower Of strength as the
accredited candidate of the farmers and me-
chanics, the scholars and clcrgymen of the
land The acclamations which greeted him
throughout his tour to Texas prove that the
benlgnart countenance of the great phlan-
thropist is capable Of firing the Southern
heart with intense enthusiasm. The cheers
which will break forth during his contenpa-
ted Western tour wherever he appears will
convince his rivals not excepting even the
stolid ledger at Long Branch, that the Sage
Of Chappaqua is the man of the masses, who
can lit the country out of the slough into
which inca pacity and recklessness, nepotism
aud corruption have sunk it

For THE VALLEY VIRG1NlAN,

| At a meeting of School Trustees of the
County held in Staunton, Aug. "a, court
day. it was determined, by vote of - to
l, to adopt Webster's Dictionary for use in
the public schools
On motion, it was resolved that all the
public schools in the county, outside of Staun-
ton, shall begin the LIST November. A reso-
luton was also passed that each District Board
shall appoint one or two physicians in their
district, whose duty it shall be, to procure a
supply of vaccine matter aud vaccinate every
child who applies for that purpose.
1t was further resolved, that the trustee s
shall hereafter hold regular meetings once ev-
cry month, on the first day Of the monthly
court. Every child whose parent is able to
purchase them will be required to supply him
self the coming session with the text books
| needed by him, out of the following list :
McGufey's Spoilers and Readers, Davies
Arithmetics, Guyot's Geography, Harvey's
Grammar, Spencers Writing Series, Web
ster's Dictionary. Except that "when pu-
pills arranged in classes of proper size have
previously made considerable progress in text
books on Geography or English Grammar,
other than those prescribed and selected for
general use, the board of school trustees may
authorize teachers in such cases only, to cou-
tinue to use such books < until such pupils
shall have completed these studies.
The above books will be used for three
years.
The vaccination of children will not be
done gratis. The appointment Of agents is
only Intended to give every one the opportu-
nifty Of being vaccinated The list of those
appointed will be published in the next pa
per. It is suggested that when practicable
the agent appoint day to meet the children
of a neighborhood at their school house and
yaccinate them.
Or. n NJ. Fannjleroy will act AS agent in
Stanton and viii soon be prepared to sup ply
country physicians with pure yirv..

The idea of the people not expressing their
wishes In any manner they may elect. and
tor whom they pleuse, is rather new tenet in
party faith, and one which will receive verv
little countenance from au intelligent and

ed the duties imposed by party organization,
FOR che accomplishment of what we believed
to be the public good. But we have never
regarded 1t as test of party fealty, that the
people should not sign call upon a. member
OF the party, whom they thought proper

or III any other public position. That is an

Terrible Railroad Accident.

A frightful Railroad accident occurred on
the Eastern Railroad, seven miles from Bos-
ton, on the 9th, by the Bangor lightning
train running into the Beverly accommoda-
ton train. Twenty-Five persons were killed
and forty wounded.
At the time of the collision the accommo-
dation for Beverly had its red signal lights
behind. and the red signal was hoisted at the
masthead Of the signal post for the express
to hold up, which it did at Everett, but sub
| sequently proceeded, and was under full head
| way when near the Revere station, the en-
gineor evidently not being aware of the prox-
unity of the Beverly train until perhaps with
in sixty rods Of it. He then whisticd "down
brakes but not soon enough to arrest the
calamity.
Some of the passengers in the rear poition
OF the accommodation train heard the ouli-
nous whistle, but too late to escape On came
the express train at great velocity, and then
the engine struck the rearmost car full in the
centre, and forced It's way in telescope man
ner two-thirds the length al tie car. The
smokestack was instantly knocked eff and
the boiler penetrated al Of the distance nam
ed into the rear car, the rear part Of the lat
ter being smashed into shousaud splilters
throwing the detris out on either side f the
engine tender. OF the rear half Of tie car
not fragment as big as a house window
could be found The fore part of the Gu
CINE was utterly demolished, its pistons bent
and its rods broken. The car was crowded
with people, every seat being occupied, and
many standing in the ais]cs In among
these the locomotive rushed, quick as fash
just as the Beverly train had started, mangl-
ing and killing in the most frightful manner.
But this was not the only, and perhaps not
the worst, visitor the unfortunate passengers
had. Simultaneously with the collision, the
head cap Of the boiler was broken and in an
instant the wretched sufferers were shroudcd
in cloud of Kissing steam, and deluged with
boiling water, which brought death instantly
to many of the wounded, and will prove ia
tai to others who had probably mot been
otherwise seriously injured.

THE TENDENCY We have contended
from the beginning Of the discussion Of the
State debt question, that the result of the en-
dorsment Of the idea Of partial reputation
of the State debt, would lead to proposition
to make similar disposition Of private debts
We did not expect an explicit enuncation of
this policy at this time. But we were mista-
ken. The Culpeper Observer, of August 25th
has the following unequivocal announcement.
The State Of Virginia owes large debt
contracted when two States were one, and
when an immense property now lost, was in
the possession of the people. By fore the
State was divided, and vast property was de-
stroyed To pay the whole of this debt, is
unjust and impossible. So with the private
debt; its payment is impossible Why not
recognize the facts in both cases, and act on
them? The attempt to force these imposs;-
bic and unjust things, will prove unavailing
and yet, will cause great suffering and wrong
The attempt is unjust and nexpedient. 1t is
solemn triAing to make the attempt. The
Conservative party was in no real majority.
in the last Legislature, and ought not to be
held responsible for Commissioners or Com
missions. That party withdrew its State
ticket, and left the contest to the Radical Re-
publicans and the Conservative Republican
candidates. That error ought now 60 be cor
rected, If, as party, they are to get control
OF the State Government, it ought to for a
State policy, avowed and acceptable to the
people. The moneyed classes ruled in the
last elections; let the people rule in the next
ANOTHER TERRIFIC BOILER EXPLOSION
The steamer Ocean Wave, low pressure
boat, exploded her boiler near Mobile, Ala
bama, last Sunday, killing over seventy men,
women and children, out of an excursion par
ty Of 200 persons. The scene is represented
by the Register as awful Many of the viz
Tins were little children whose floating hats,
caps, aud other articles Of apparel, told the
sad story Of the fate Of the little ones. The
captain of the boat swan for sometime with
both of his legs broken, and finally sank to
rise no more before aid could reach him.
All Of the officers of the boat but three, were
lost.
This is another terrible warning to Sunday
excursion parties We Do not believe these
terrible accidents are so much the result of
imperfect machinery, as they are vindicator
of the Majesty Of tho Divine Law-to keep
the Sabbath day holy.
