THE "BLAME" AND "BURDEN" OF THE DISORGAN-
IZATION OF THE HOUSE.
The National cgencer after uttering the positive
csaton that the burden of all the blame for the confusion
dsorganzaon Of the House rests upon the democratic
party which we have proved from its columns be
unounded and untrue attempts to escape the issue it has
raised itself by changing tactics. To break the force of
exposure Of its dupcty and perveron Of the facts the
hteiiyencer tries to show that Monday last the
democrats had in their power to place in the Speakers
chair of their number yet they would accept
the opportunity and content with this assertion ii
goes say 'ar. Smith, Of Virginia southern demo-
cra who has acted and voted with his party in the House
received Monday foryscven vo,esenougb, with the
voea of his party, to have elected him Speaker and
terminated this proraced contest; bu, his party would
elect him they adhered to their purpose that The
House should take no one but Mr. Richardson To show
in bold relief the deliberate purpose of Misrepresentation
in the lnegeaer few plain and notorious facts all
that is necessary The resolution declaring Gov Smith OF
Virginia Speaker of the House. offered Monday last
know-no,hngs and Of the democrats. For,y-fve
democrats voted against it. The combined would
make ninety-wonc. enough carry that rssoliion had
moi ten republicans remained their ysd pots in
order let the National Iegener make just such record
ahas had s hardhood 70 attempt The ten republicans
in the House when this resolution offered who failed
vote, Messrs. Bingham Rshop, Giddngs Granger
Kelsey Petit Simmons, Stanton, Todd, and Watson
Most of these gentlemen remained in their while the
vote on the resolution being taken.
Now, leave 1t to the National hiigeaer 10 answer
whether with this fact before its eyes bsl;eves that Mr.
Smith could have been elected and whether these repnb-
would ever haye allowed him tho Speakers
chair when have thus proved that they hs the power
in their hands defeat his eection2 So falls this
exhibition Of candor and fair dealing the part Of
that paper
ln order to show how conscientious the Ieiigened is
TO do injustice to nobody let again refer to its col
OF the 18th Of January the y after the republicans
could have elected Speaker of their own in full VOTE
but deliberately refused to do This transaction did not
receive word Of reproach the hands of the Hegne.
We refer Mr. Thorngtons resolution In favor of Mr.
Campbell of Ohio which resolution received nfty voie
while fiytwo republicans voted against IL making
hundred and two being sufficient number 10 elec-he
democrats voting their whole man. Up to this
day the htsiSaor has made the slightest ausion
this fact On the contrary it falls back upon Last Mon
days development 10 fix upon the democratic party the
new and unjust charge which we have just exposed.
But we do not propose to release the Ipgenca with
single contradiction Of its missa,emcnts We recall il
to It's deliberate accusation of Monday that the democratic
portion Of the House should bear the burden Of all
the blame for the disorganizaton Of that bods u Is
