The County Centennial.
The late County Convention of Nov.
21, ult , directed its Chairman to ap
point an Executive Committee of 1">.
which should formulate a programe
and have general charge of the arrange
ments for the coming County Centennial
Celebration. Below will be found the
Committee appointed in pursuance of
the directions of the County Contention
J. D McJnnkin. Esq
William Campbell. Jr.
Newton Black. Esq
John Humphrey, ESQ
C. N. Boyd,
Andrew W. McCnllsugh,

Kennedy Marshall, Esq.
Jcs. B. Bredin, Esq
Jos. B. Mechling, Esq.

Frank Kohler, Esq.
J. H. NEGLEY,
Chairman.
The aboye Committee will meet at
the office of the Chairman on Friday
evening, coming Dec. 15. at 7;:50oclock.
It will have different Committees to »p
point. But the most important one we
presume will be the Finance Commit
tee. On the success of the Financial
Committee will largely depend the ex
tent of the preparations for the Centen
nial and the extent of its exercises. It
is therefore deemed of the first import
ance to ascertain where the necessary
funds are to come from, and how raided,
and how much The old saying of 'cut
your coat according to your cloth, will
apply to this Centennial. This will be
the work of the Finance Committee
that will be appointed at above meeting
of the Executive Committee. Other
Committees will be appointed, such as,
Parade and Procession, Relics, Decora
tion of Streets, etc., Place of Meeting.
Amusements, Music, Speakers and
Speaking, Invitations and Receptions,
etc. But until the Finance Committee
makes report none of these will be an
nounced.
WASHINGTON NOTES.
On Thursday the Senate Committee
in Privileges and Elections announced
it would not take np the Quay case un
til Saturday the 16th. and Quay's
friends sent to Florida for him.
Brigham H. Roberts issued a long ad
dress to the American people in which
he denies the charges made against him,
and cays his rejection as a Member of
the House establishes a dangerous pre
cedent.
The affidavits laid before the special
committee appointed to investigate the
case of Brigham H. Roberts last week,
recited very plainly the facts which are
matters of common knowledge in Utah
as to his polygamous relations.
On Monday Rep.Showalter introduc
a bill appropaiating |loo,ooofor a pub
lic building at New Castle. He also in
troduced the following bills: To pay

THE AFRICAN WAIt.
During the latter part of last week
the Boers were still "pounding Lady
smith." They had mounted a new and
big gun on a neighboring hill and were
shelling the English camp Some of
the English guns had been hit and ruin
ed, and the garrison was expecting an
assault. In London news of battles at
both Ladysmith and Kimberly was anx
ionsly awaited, and there were reports
of more fighting near the Modder river
The Boers claimed to have Methnen cut
off from his base of supplies, and also
that the British had murdered helpless
men after the battle of Modder river.
On Sunday the British war office re
ceived word from Gen. Gatacre, com
manding the British in Cape ('olony,
near the southern border ot the < )r«nge
Free State, of his unsucce> still attempt
to capture Storm berg, and his loss of
•KtO men. Me seems to have been de
ceived by false reports into marching
into a trap where he was flanked and
driven from one position after another
until he beat a hasty retreat to his camp
at Molteno.
Reports from Petoria. Tuesday morn
ing, put the number of British prisoners
taken at Storm berg at <572; and three
pieces of field artillery. In England
great humiliation was felt over this,
third, defeat. In the two months since
the Transvaal ultimatum was delivered
nine engagements have been fought and ,
the British have lost r»«fi killed, 027
wounded and 1,977 missing or prisoners
In Berlin there was rejoicing over the
news.
On Sunday night the British made a
sortie from Ladvsmith and captured
one howitzer on the top of a neighbor
ing hill, but on the way back were at
tacked by the Boers and lost <l2 men. Mat
ties were expected at both the Tngela
and Modder rivers.
On Monday Gen. Methnen attacked
the Boers in a fortified position altout
four miles north of the Modder river,
and was again repulsed, with a reported
loss of 500 men.

In an address to the Republicans of

tive veto of the joint resolution submit
ting to the people a constitutional
amendment for the protection of the
suffrage, and the unwarranted veto of
a part of the item appropriating money
to the public schools, by the letter of
which public education wa sacrificed
to unworthy and selfish ends: the nulli
fication of the Constitution and the vi
olation of all precedent, in the np|>oint
ment to a seat ill the United States Sen
