CHARLESTON, W. Va, December g.
The mandamus asked for by Democrats,
and which was granted by the Supreme
Court, yesterday, vas presented to the
County Commissioners to-day, and that
body at once allowed Democratic sttor-
neys to cross-examine Commissioners and
Clerks Of the late election in Charleston,
CoalbuIg and Lewiston precincts. In the
latter the object was to prove TINT the
officers were not sworn according
to laws governing elections in this
State. The matter of Lewiston precinct
was taken up and from the evidence pro
duCed the votes cast in the precinct on No
yember 6th were thrown ont. This preCi net
gave the Republicans q majority Of nine.
Coalburg precinct will also be thrown out.
Charleston precinct WAS not taken up aud
both commissioners end clerks stated that
the election was conducted according to
law, but that there might have been mig
taxes made in calling of names, as the Of
ficsrs were OverWorksd and very tired from
the strain Of week work.
There was an effort on the plrt Of coun-
sci for the Republicans to show that after
the original counting, the ballots cast in
Charleston precinct bad been put in box
aud deposited in the County Clerks office
for safe keeping and had been there,
broken open and the ballots tampered
with, but no evidence was produced show
ing thst the bOX-a very common cracker
box-had been intsrfered with. The box
had been &c Iled and wss intact and the
ballots counted corresrOuded with the
number Of names registered.
Democrats are jubilsnt over the victory
gsi0ed ia the Supreme Coult, while Re,
ppbicans are not at all pleased by the
action of the Suprene Court. Ths County
Court was compelled to sign the proceed-
ing, after hss-iug evidence, SO that the at,
tcrueys fer the Democratic contestants can
prepare bill Of exceptions for the Circuit
Court. The outcome is snxiOusly looked
forward to by al.

FILIBUSTERER OATES
Renews His Effective Opposition to the
Direct Tax Bill.

WASHINGTON, December 6.-After some
routine business, the House this morning,
on motion of Mr.. Caswell, Of Wisconsin,
went into Committee of the Whole (Mr.
Springer, Of Illinois, in the Chair on the
ID rect Tax bill. Nc. Clswell explained
that the simple purpose Of the bill was to
refund 10 the States aud individuals who
paid the tax that portion Of the direct tax
which WAS collected.
After careful computation he was able

Mr.. Oltss, OF Alabama, ssid that The
first ground OF his opposition 10 the meas
ure was that there was no authority CON
ferred upJn Congress by the Constitution
In psss the bill or to make the appfoprla
tion provided for. He contedned, not fol
strict construction Of the Constitution,
b for an observance Of il. The only
ysy that the Constitution could
be preserved in its original integrity
was for Congress TO keep carefully and
squarcly within its giant OF power Wher
the limitation was disTegar6ed, aud th'
unbrid!ed will of Congress substituted fo
il the people TO longer had aoy guarantees
of the rights reserved to the States and th'
people. The money collected under th'
act of 1861 has bean legally collected ant
expended for the legal purpose Of the com
mon defense; and the bill was therefore
donation urjustiied by the constitution.
The second objection VIVA that 1t was un
inst in lts provisions. Money collected
from the people could Dever be returned 4
those who paid it, and at this late day
was impossible TO restore it TO tfoe frou
whom it was taken. II was urged ~

some of the States had never paid the tax
