THE NATIONAL EXCHEQUER EN-
DORSED.


A large meeting Of leading citizens and
members Of the Assembly was held in
the hall Of the House of Delegates Satur-
day evening to consider he national finances.
The Hon. James IL. Plat, member Of
Congress from the Norfolk district, deliv-
cred an able and convincing speech in be-
half Of the bill introduced into Congress
by himself, providing for a National Elk
chequer. sa5 I'd ash
The speech of Colonel Platt indicated a
profound study Of the questions involved,
and was delivered with an earnestness and
force that enchanted the attention of his
auditors. Our present limits permit only
a brief outline Of this powerful effort, tut
its impression upon the meeting was very
marked and effective. A sketch of the
speech will be found in our local columns,
and also the resolutions as passed by the
meeting endorsing Colonel Platts bill.
General Joseph Anderson followed,
supporting the scheme with clear and forci-
BILE reasoning.
Resolutions were adopted deprecating
the present condition Of the currency, ask
ing that it be made more sound, more
abundant, and distributed more equitably.
and endorsing Colonel Platt's bill as
worthy of the careful consideration Of Con
gress. 81
The resolutions are to be introduced into
the Legislature.
We trust that this meeting will be 10
lowed by others until the people are fully
aroused and informed upon this vita
question of currency.

one of the deck passengers, while smok-
ing, dropped sparks from his pipe into
the cotton. When the boat became I'M
manageable she drifted on sand-bar
and there grounded The flames, instead
of spreading along the lower deck, at
once shot up to the cabin and pilot
house, and then swept across the
hurricane deck. The passengers
were all aroused, and the boats
were lowered and many were car
ried to the shore, but others, in their
fright, jumped into the water, and those
who were not drowned reached safe
landing place after drifting long time
with the current There were nearly lOO
people on board, but what proportion OF
this number were actually lost is not
known at this time, as many reported
missing have been seen by some on shore
since the disaster"
The boat and cargo, consisting of cat
tie, sheep and hogs, are total loss.
Tie passenger register and all the
books were lost.

The Steamboat Disaster on the Ohio
River.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 5, 1874.
The operator at Aurora, Ind, reports
that the steamer Pat Rogers was burned
this morning on the Ohio River, one mile
below Aurora, and about twenty lives
were lost, principally ladies.
The boat burned near the shore, the
flames enveloping the shore side of the
vessel. Passengers who jumped over
on that side were nearly all lost
or badly burned None who used life
prcservers are known to be lost, and two
ladies were saved without the use of
preservers. Many sank by clinging to
each other in the water.
The scene of the wreck is thirty miles
from here by river, and was above
Laughery Creek and short distance
below Aurora, Ind The fire was
discovered about twenty minutes before
five o'clock. All the passengers were
asleep. The crew don't know much
about it, Heartlessness and heroism
were displayed in awful contrast. The
officers exerted themselves nobly to save
the passengers. A man who claims to
have been the last to leave the boat says
the last object he saw was child three
years old, beyond his reach, alone naked,
dancing with pain, crying and shouting.
The flames burned 1t. Not one of the
six small children aboard was saved.
Two were brought ashore dead. Four
women, who were afterward saved, stood
on the hurricane deck and shouted till
hoarse, imploring the river pirate on the
Kentucky shore to come over and
help, but he refused. A brave
man came down the river later barely in
time to save them ut his own great peril.
~ II
woman came to him with child and
begged him to save them. He threw q
mattress into the river. He told her to
lump. Half a dozen men seized the
mattress, and the woman rushed away
half frantic, bewildered They lost sight
of her She is thought to be burned
with her baby
Capt. Davis says the officers were
Weakened promptly, and ran at once to
the rooms of the passengers.
Mr. Holmes, the engineer of the
steamer, arrived in Cincinnati on the
noon train, and was interviewed by a
Cincinnati reporter. He gives the fol-
lowing account of the burning of the
steamer:
alt was just about six O'Clock, when
Just opposite Laughery Creek, that flows
into the Ohio River short distance be-
low Aurora, that noticed bright light
among some bales of cotton la the after
part of the boat fastened to the spot,
and found it to be burning rapidly, and
beyond any possibility of Immediately
extinguishing 1t. fastened to the
hurricane deck and gave the alarm to the
pilot that the boat was burning, and told
him to run her ashore. The pilot at once
turned the boats head to the shore
and Immediately she became unmanage-
able. The pilot stated that he could
not answer to her helm. He thinks the
tiller-rope had been cut From this fact
il Is thought that the fire was the work
! of an incendiary. Another theory Is that
