MANY theories are advanced IN ac-

thirty odd Democrats to unite with the
Republicans in the House in proceeding
with the count after the 8 by commits

ourselves, we never could, and never ex-

Judge Montgomery Blair explains the
mystery. 1t is harsh opinion, and we
give it as his, not ours:

railroad jobs. That had everything TO do
with it. Hayes was to help these jobbers
and the men owned by him let rim be
connted in over Tilden in consideration
thereof. That's all it was. Money had ev-
erything to do with it. 1t was money that
put Hayes in, and nothing bur money keeps
him in. He would have been out long ago
if it was not for the moneyed peoples oper-
ations in Congress.

That the House was precipitate and
undignifed in its adoption of the Bur
chard resolution, is Enthusiastically true
Mr. Watterson, of the Courier-J ournal,
puts the subject in its true light in say
ing:
eff the House had let its opportunity (of
investigating the allegations of fraud

far, seems to me to have been its haste TO

able which had not been assaulted; to say
nothing of the Illogical position of first

idIty, born of the habit of time-serving.
has been the chief trouble with the Demo
cratic party for years. The Republicans
have only to shake a red rag at us, and we
recede, proclaming ali the time, and in adj
vance, that we will recede. They know
this, and constantly take advantage of it,

This body adjourned on the goth.
The most important bills passed were
the acts remonetizing silver, allowing
criminals in United States Court to testify
in their own behalf, the Pacific railroad
funding bill; and forbidding further re.
tirement of legal-tender notes. Only
two bills were vetoed by the President,
the silveAbill which was passed by the
constitutional majority nevertheless; and
the bill to authorize special term of the
u. s. District Court at Scranton, Missis-
sippi, to try the log cases. The resump-
ton act was not repealed, and the Sen
ate bill making legal-tender notes re
ceivable in payment for customs and for
4 per cent bonds, was lost for the want of
the requisite two thirds vote in the House
near the close of the session to suspend
the rules and put it on its passage.
Ii will be seen in our news column that
two men were hung at Springfield, Ten
nessee. pursuant to custom, for the afro
cious and objectionable crime therein
mentioned. The dispatch says that the
men protested their innocence which
was natural, but further, that there was
doubt about their guilt" In this event
the hanging was wrong; and the case
ought 20 have been udieially determined.
We are in favor of furnishing the crime of
which they were suspected in the shortest
and speediest manner, by hanging or
other effectual manner; but not unless
proof Of guilt is clear and undoubted.
Lynch law at best is desperate remedy,
and fit only fer worse than brutes who are
guilty of the fiendish outrage for which
these men were hung. In dealing with
this description OF crime, the Davy Crock
EFT maxim is applicable: Be sure you are
right and then go ahead.

it was neither logic nor justice. for Con

that other mechanism. the most intricate

because it generates Its own forces-the
human machine. When one OF its mems
bers fails to perform its office, the whole
system is thrown into disorder. Mems
bers before considered unassailable, break
down under the unnatural pressure. The
shock comes, and utter prostratiOn Is the
result. PREPARATION can only be effected
by the restoration ofthe impaired parts
and the REIMBURSEMENT of its levers, the
