50 Ms 3ropns Resoiutions..-We published on Sa-
turdsy. Mr.. Browns resolutions on the subject of a
convention. and which wero rejected by a vote OF
y 8tzto 121. We were inaccurate in saving that the
convention at Philadelphia, proceeded by resolution
wosehculd have said tha. the General Assembly OF
Yir9'nia III calling the convention that in 1913 adop-
tcdthe present Constitution ofthc u sates proceed
cd by this mode
Had these resolutions boon adopted, She mover
proposed to follow them UP by bill providing for the

Senator'S from characterization x. Paris having
accepted judgeship John Holmes has been elected
by the Legislature of Maine to supply the vacsncy;
and Mr.. Chambers term expiring on the Sd March,
Pcleg Spraguc, at present Representative in Con-
" Below publish the speech of mr.. Rives of 2.
George in an amended shape which we so grieyous-
ly offended by misreporling the other day. The O.
mission ofa monosylable in place, and printing
reehoders for freoolIcrs in another made
that wrong, which was wrh.en right. A Daily pa
per is particularly liable to these mistakes. and If the
gentleman from p George would only try the expert
ment one night, of what foreman has 70 encounter
in reading and revising proofs, he would wonder that
mistakes were not made, than that single one
should have happened.
We have now to coudoe With readers at tie
necessity feel ourselves under, of dcpriving them
in future, of the qualification and instruction afforded
by the speeches of the gentleman frou, P. G. Much
as we deplore this necessity, longer consent
TO report the speeches ola gentleman who, with mex
o-able rigor, will admit no excuse for typographical
error, and with Rsndolphan severity, rejects apollo
ges and the proffered facilities Of correction we
like better to deal with persons who conscious of
sefiability to occasional error VIII make for others,
the allowance which they themselves may chance at
another time to need.
Nr Rives of Prince George opposed the resolutions lie
