Manning instead of to Gen. Chalmers, whose title to a commission to a seat in the 48th Congress is indisputnble. Had the order of Circuit Judge Wharton, not to proceed with the count until the error was corrected, been obeyed by Secretary Myers there would ha7e been no further trouble about the matter so far as Tate county was concerned, since the vote of that county was cast for J. K. Chalmers and not for J.

R. Chambless, as the clerk unfortunately wrote on the tally-sheet, and on which error the Secretary of State so hastily acted. friends of Mr. Manning do not believe he will accept the commission on any such subterfuge. He may contest the seat with Chalmers on alleged frauds from Marshall and other counties, but to take the commission and draw the salary to which Chalmers is so clearly entitled under the circumstance would forever ruin his brilliant prospects in thisState.
