From the Springfield Republican, Jan. 1s.-a
& Sis Hayes paper,
A Sad Accident TO Organic Journalism

From the Springfield Republican, Jan. 1s-a
!. Hayes paper,
A Sad Accident TO Organic Journalism.
The evident determination of the con-
gressional committee, first, to disregard
the empty assumption that the president
of the senate has the power to count, Sc
cond, to assert the power of both houses
to reject, throws the organs into new anx-
ieties, The New York Times calls on the
president of the senate to discharge his
duty" The New York Tribune denies
that the two houses ever rejected the
vote of state. This extremity of stup-
idity is the logical consequence of the
course of the Republican organs ever since
the election. They assumed that Hayes
was elected, and that he would be count
ed IN. To this view they have stretched
the constitution and the preeedents. They
framed their theory to suit their wishes,
and construed the law to meet the theory.
1t made no difference that their theory
was at war with all the prccedents (for
never since the government began has
there been a presidential count, without
tellers being appointed by the housed; it
made no difference that single branch
of Republican congress, only four years
ago, had rejected the votes of states; it
made no difference that the Republican
leaders, including both senators from
Massachusetts, had, only last March. de-
nied the power of the president of the sen
ate to count, had asserted the power of
the houses to count, and had admitted the
power of either house, with or without
joint rule, to reject. All these facts, most
of which were apparent on cursory study
o. the subject in a candid frame of mind,
have been studiously suppressed by the
Republican organs. They have sedul-
ously cultivated the belief among their
readers that any other Interpretation but
their own. of the LOCALITIES of the case, was
| impossible.
The fact that the senate committee
which includes a majority of Republicans
and those leading minds and strong parts
ans, Morton, Edmunds, Conkling and Ere
linghuysen,-is now the fast to throw
overheard these pleasing fctions on which
the Republican organs have centered then
affections, must be cheerful evidence II
their readers of the reliability of these
newspapers as guides to intelligent
opinion.

ROCHESTER,, March 1O.-The Exchange
Bank of Canandnlgua has failed. Tho doors of
the bank were closed about 045 O'Clock ycstcr-
day morning. and nm assignment WAS at once

and Howell Mo.hcr Tho assignmcnt was
made ip Henry Ilamlin. OF East BLOOMFIELD, and

Thgmns Boals. Sr Al the timq OF his DEATH in
1851 Tho bunk passed into tho hands Of his son.
Thonns Beals. under tho nnme of "Tho
Thomas Bculs Bank" until D,cemhcr, 1871 =.
when John MOshcr and his son. Howell MOshcr,
went into the firm. The bank was then con-
Quoted under the name of the Exchange Blnk.
The cause of the failure Of the bank is sup
posed to he duo to large md unfortunate spscu-
