pose Of representing Manning before the
Boards of County Commissioners, in OBJ
jecting to the count Of illegal votes for
Chalmers and seeing to the counting
and proper return of legal votes for
Manning. When they reached their re-
spectlve destinations they found that the
Board had met, performed their duties
and adjourned and these gentlemen re.
returned home without suggesting OIL
attempting to re-convene the Boards.
In the meantime f. NJ Watson was
receiving kilograms from various quar-
tiers asking and giving information os Ia
the result of the election in different To-
calities and among Others the following
HERNANDo, Nov. ., 1883.

feet Ms election9 answer at once. Our
majority is one thirty-thrce, Il might
be two hundred. A. 5. BucHANAN.
In reply TO this the following telegram
which Chalmers quotes, without stating
that it was in reply to one received, was
sent:
IF Mannings majority in DeSoto
reaches two hundred, prospects good"
A little while afterwards information
came that Manning's majority in Tippah
and Union was 500 less than had been
reported. Thereupon Mr. Watson sent
the following kilograms to Mr. Buchanan
and others.
Manning defeated Returns from
Union and rippah 500 less,
The proof shows that this was the last
telegram sent 10y Mr.. Watson instead of
the first as Gen Chalmers states, and
that it was one day after instead Of be-
fore the gentlemen started to Tippah
and Benton The returns which called
this forth made the fact apparent that
The gain OF few votes in De>oto' and
elsewhere il had been hoped might ac-
crue from an effort before the county
boards of commissioners to have thrown
ont Illegal ballots and Illegal returns for
Chalmers, would not affect the primG
fdcic case, and it was therefore deter
mined to make the whole contest before
Congress,
The telegram quoted by Gen. Chal-
mers which gave official count in Mar
shall was in answer 10 inquiries as to the
vote. Gen Chalmers states in substance
that MIR. Myers concealed from him the
returns in order that the ten days might
expire, in which corrections could be
made But it appeared when the case
was investigated before Judge Wharton
that Myers never did conceal the returns
from the inspection of Gen Chalmers or
anybody else. Therefore the only point
the General seeks to make by the intro.
duction of A. + Browns letter, is dis
solved and dissipatcd
But we will not pursue the subject
further. Congress will have all the facts
before it and so will the jury that tries
the alleged conspirators.
