The BURNING OF a TRAINING SHIP.

A London correspondent of the New
York Times tells an affecting story of
the burning of the training ship Goliath,
with nearly three hundred little boys on
board, in the Thames, "Wednesday be-
fore Christmas. She was an old mans

admiralty for the accommodation of
work house boys, who were to be train
ed for the army,navy OF mercantile mas
rine. For this purpose she was moored
in the Thames off the village of Grays,
little above Gravesend On Wednes-
day morning, about 8 o'clock, one of the
boys was carrying a lighted petroleum
which he was about to extinguish, when
the heated metal burned his hand and
he dropped the lamp. The whole place
was instantly in a blaze, for the old ship
was we'll pitched and burned like pat
ent frewood. Notwithstanding the
youthfulness of the crew,and the alarm
which SO sudden catastrophe natural-
ly inspired, the discipline was so good
the boys took their places at the pumps
when the fire bell rang.
1t was soon evident, however, that
the case was hopeless, and the captain
gave orders to such boys as could swim
to jump overheard and swim to the
shore-so,ne 500 feet distant, and many
did so. There were boats on board. but
the rapid flames had destroyed the low.
ering apparatus and the boats had fal.

ever, there was barge moored close to
the ship, and the boys, most of them be-
tween seven and ten years of age, got
into this with the help of the assistant
schoolmaster. After some twenty boys
had got III they were SO frightened by
the smoke and flames from the ship that
they wanted to push off at once, but
little fellow named Billy Bolton, one OF
the mates, manfully resisted, and held
the barge in its place till all who were
waiting to come were taken on board.
When the barge reached the shore, il
stuck fast in the chalky mud, and could
not be taken back to the ship. There
were five women on board, the captains
wife and two daughters, and two wo.
men servants. The schoolmaster had
managed to get hold of one of the ship
boats, and he persuaded the women to
jump from the deck into the water as
their ouly chance of rescue, for now the
flames had mounted to the upper deck,
and tie masses and rigging were taking
fire. There was no room for hesitation,
and the women leaped one by one over.

The centennial bill has been defeated

The centennial bill has been defeated
by the House Of Delegates. While We
regret this action upon the part of the
House, We are not disposed tc question
the motives or condemn those through
whom this result has been brought
about. We give them the credit OF
doing what they supposed the interests
OF the Commonwealth required. We
cannot agree with them and deeply re-
gret their action The interests OF
Virginia cannot suffer by making to
the world Il full exhibit Of her great re
sources. Were we of the opinion that
an increase Of immigration and Of
capital would tend to Cypress and inns
poverlsh the present population of the
Stale, We would then be prepared to
approve Of the action OF the House.
The argument has been urged that
inasmuch as Virginia is in debt she
would be contributing other people,
money to Philadelphia, and would to
that extent be guilty Of dishonesty to
her creditors With equal propriety
can she be charged with dishonesty
towards her creditors when she pays
the per diem Of legislators, the salary Of
her Governor and other necessary state
expenses. The small amount used in
transporting samples of her minerals
and other resources would be a good
investment which would aid her in her
effort to meet her endebtedness. In
the Senate second effort has been
made and a bill appropriating $4,000
has been presented. If there. is any
thing in the arguments of those who
opposed the former bill, they will con-
tinue to vote against every bill, without
respect to the amount named

In the discussion upon the amnesty
bill MIR. Blaine, OF Name, in bis attack
upon Jefferson Davis, exhibited an
amount of sectional bitterness, which,
in the opinion, of many of the Rcpub.
llcan journals, has had the effect of in
juring his prospect for the nomination
Tor President. Whatever effect it may
have had upon his prospective nomina-
ton ii has certainly demonstrated to
the more conservative masses, both
North and South, that he is not worthy
OF the Office, and in case of his election
the interests Of this great country, in
stead of being placed in the hands of
statesman, would fall into those of a
reckless politician whose statements of
facts cannot be relied upon as true.
Whether the Republican or Demoera.
tic party is destined to succeed, we
hope the actions of both conventions
may be such that whosoeyer should be
the fortunate candidate, the country
could point with pride to It's president
as being, at least, an honest man.

THE Supreme Court of Virginia on
last Thursday decided four cases of
claims for salt furnished certain coun-
ties during the war. The decision Of
the court was that these claims against
the counties are invalid on the ground
that the constitution of the State pro-
hibits the county courts from making a
levy OF to collect taxes to pay any debt
or obligation against the United States.
The decision also recites the fact that
a similar inhibition is made as to the
United States, OF any State by the
fourteenth amendment to the Federal
constitution.
