EuitOrS Register:
Our ticket (National Union) was
elected throughout by between forty
and fifty majority. To-day the Board
Of Supervisors held their meeting to
canvass the poll, and voted that the
votes of one of the townships should be
thrown out, because Of an informality
between the township registration and
the Board of Registration. The town
ship gave AZ majority for the National
Union ticket. Throwing ont that whole
vote, and the whole Radical ticket is
counted as elected. Some of our citi-
zens are discouraged under this
outrageous tyranny and corrup-
ton, but the Others are nursing
their wrath to keep it warm until the
next election. We are gaining votes
every day as the rascally conduct of the
party becomes known.
could tell you quite long story
abont the doings of the smelling in
quisition,"-how they have cut off men
without trial or even notice, &c, but
you hear enough of such stories, and do
not need to have added anything from
me. / presume it is about the same in
all the counties.

send you q short extract from the
annual report Of the President:
"After it was ascertained that it would
make such an important difference in
the amount Of subscription to the stock,
and, in fact, be Of such advantage to
both companies, to effect o union of the
two charters (the West Virginia Central
and the Charleston and Winchester
roads) through the West Virginia Legis-
lature, the President went to Wheeling
to secure the passage of biltfor that
purpose. By the union thus contem-
plated, capital stock from sufficiently
responsible parties already pledged, to
the amount Of SIC, ,0OO, 900, would be i'm
mediately and promptly secured. But
he failed in this object, and after he left
Wheeling, and but three days before the
adjournment, a bill was passed appoint
ing commissioners to dispose of the in
terest of the State, in the line from
Charleston to the East, which has al
ready been given to these companies.
The stockholders considered it an in
fringement upon their chartered rights,
and objected for that reason to COM
mencing the work under the circum-
stances. Chapter VII, ofthe laws of 1864,
provides following the language of the
State constitution,) that mo act incor-
porating an internal improvement COM
pany, or to confer additional privileges
on the same, shall be passed, unless
public notice for the intended applica-
tion for such acts shall be given, &c.
and goes on to prescribe the mode of
giving the notice.
"No notice whatever was given of the
intended application for this bill, and
no pretense was made that such notice
was given. 1t was presented in the
Senate two days before the last of the
session, and inahe House the bill was
read three times and completed to law
on the last day Of the session, Although
the bill, as win be seen, is sunquestiona-
bly, unconstitutional, it produced an in
