authority fer saying this is utterly false the fair sing
er having been no farther than Caitskl, where
she has been r1ralsing by the advice Of our friend
Simpson, until the succession Of engagements shall
place her on the Park boards. We conceive the
once beautiful actress has too much tact, as a public
character to be guilty of gross an outrage on COM

PROPHETIC.

The following is an extract from a speech
delivered by Mr.. Webster, in the Senate Of
the U. States Feb. 22d, 1884.
II have alreaedy cndeavored to warn the
country against irredeemable paper; against
bank papers, when banks do not pay specie
for their own notes against; that miserable,
abominable and fraudulent policy which at
temptS to give value to any paper Of any
bank, one single moment longer than such
paper is redeemable on demand in Gold
and silver, And wish most solemnly. and
earnestly to repeat that warning. 1 see
danger Of that state Of thugs ahead. / Sch
IMMINENT DANGER THAT MORE OR FEWER
OF THE STATE BANKS WILL STOP SPECIE PAY
MENTs.-The late measure of the Secretary
and the infatuation with which it seems to
be supported, tend directly and strongly to
that result. Under pretence then of a design
to return to currency which shall be all
specie we are likely to have currency in
which there shall be no specie atall. We are
in danger of being Overwhelmed 'Oith irrede-
emeablc paper-nsore paper, representing
not gold nor siIUer. no, sir, representing
nothing but BROKEN PROMISES, BAD FAITH,
BANKRUPT CORPORATIONS CHEATED cREDI-
TORS, AND RUINED PEoPLE7'.

EDIToRIAL CONVENTIONAL con-
vcntion of Virginia Editors was held at
Richmond?on the 18th ult. THOMAS
RITCnIE, ESQ. of the Enquirer, was
called TO the Chair, and WIN. M.
BLACKFoRD, Esq. Of the Fredericks-
burg Arena, was appointed Secretary.
Among the most Interesting proceed
ings of the Convention, are the follow
ing resolutions, which were unanim-
ously adopted.
"Resolved, That, in the opinion of
this Convention, i'll referring to editorial
opinions, the name Of the newspaper
alone should be used, and discussions
between editors carried on, Invested
entirely of personal references, of OPP
plobious epithets, and of harsh Ian
guage, and that the editorial inter-
course should be marked by amenity,
courtesy, and, as far as possible, good
feelings and kindness-thus, in the
course of the editors towards another,
setting an example to correspondents,
and relieving themselves and the pub
lie from the disgust attendent upon
newspaper controversies, in which per-
sonalities or abuse are INDUCED.
"ReSolUed, That, in the opinion of
this Convention, to rid the press as
much as possible Of personal contro-
versy, it is proper that all articles of a
purely personal nature in which the
passions or pref udices, or feelings Of
one or more individuals only are con-
cerned, should be entirely excluded
from the columns of the newspaper !;
and that such articles of personal con-
troversy as result from difficulties, but
from the circumstances attendant up
on them become of concern to the pub
lie, be inserted, and charged double
the regular rates of advertisement.
"ResoEved, That, in the opinion Of
this Convention, it would greatly tend
to correct the public taste, to advance
the cause of virtue and sound morality
if the editors of newspaper would dis
countenance, as much as possible, the
publication of the horrid minutia anC
details of murders and suicides, The
disgusting incidents connected with du
els and affrays which sometimes occur
in different parts of our country, anc
also accounts of the ingenuity of the
victims in their depredations upon SO
ciety-alI of which only tend to en-
courage vice, and spread the knowl
edge of crime.
sResolued, That, in the opinion 0
this ConH ention, it would be highl!
conducive to the interests of the pub
lie and honorable to the characters Q
editors, if the newspapers, of the coein
try, were TO be devoted, as much q
possible, to the dissemination of usefu
facts, Of general knowledge, and OF a
such matter as viii tend to refine +
enlighten, and improve, in preference
TO ARTICLES which merely crafty q y
tiated taste, or pamper a devoted 81
petite for scandal. s
Three new Wing papers are abol
to be established at Missourii one
Jefferson city, one q Boonsville' aE
one at Liberty.

Insurrectionary Increment IN Pennsylra.
na.-Our readers may remember that
when the return judges Of Philadelphia
county, Pa. met, after the election last fall'
10 count the returns and declare the result,
a proposition was submitted by CHARLES ].
INGERsoLL ESQ. a candidate for Congress,
10 reject all the votes from the Northern
Liberties, on the ground that the managers
of election in ono uard had lost, or profess.
eG to have lost, their book in which their re.
cord of the votes was kept. The result
would have been, the election Of Mr.. In.
eERsoLL himself to Congress, in the place
Of Mr.. MAYOR, who had actually rccelv.
ed The greater number Of legal votes. This
proposal of Mr.. lNesRsoLL was adopted by
the majority of the judges, and a report
made ou! accordingy,-.hc majority ofthe
judges being of the Van Buren, party
The Wing judges, six in number after the
return had been thus made out and signed
by the Van Buron judges, ten in number
got together and made ou! report OF their
own, from such returns as they could pro-
cure Cho Van Buren, judges refusing to
give up to them the return from their wards.)
This report, being thus defective, was OF
course in favor of the Wing candidates to'
both the State Legislature and Congress. -
Blu, it was signed Sin legal form" by the Sly
Judges and put into the hands Of the Sheriff
and by him forwarded 10 the Secretary o
the Commonwealth. The Van Buren,
Judges subsequently made out their repoE
and forwarded it also to the Secretary
