1t Is well to bear In mind few salient
facts touching the general situation. The
Senate assumed by its own power to
abolish the twcnty-sccond joint rule, which
originated in that body in 1866, and under
which three successive elections for Presi-
dent had been counted and declared II was
maintained by Speaker RANDALL and others
ON that side of the House that the rule still
exists and could not be revoked without the
concurrence of that body.
Noncw form ofproceeding could be adopted
without the cooperation of the Senate where
the majority was held tightly in hand by
few leaders. Mr.. MOTION refused to press
his bill of last year, and every possible OBJ
stace was opposed to an agreement for
fair and pcaceablc count. Meantime the
conspiracy which was organized mme-
diately after HAYEs's defeat, had gained
Roadway and assumed large proportions. 1t
was backed by the whole power Of the Adj
ministration, and troops We're gathered in
Washington to support fraud by force.

This was melancholy confession. but

kIMBALL-ths is the confessor's name-must
beware. or he and those who follow in his
course will get the prominent banking
firms about which they tell tales into
trouble Mr.. kIMBALL has now come
to tho conclusion that the foundation stone

fore feels that it is his duty 10 tear up this
foundation stone. TO put n stop TO this wicked
ness. and To prevent other men from being
guilty Of that Kind Of wrone-doing 20 which he
confessed. Mr. KIMnALL and his fellow cam
raignors have heavy work before them; but
they may get strength by thinking of the walls
