Judge j. S. Murray, Col Joseph n. Brown
and Mai. J. c. Whitefeld together with the
Sheriff, Clerk of the Court and the Foreman Of
the Grand Jury, a committee to select three
suitable citizens of the County to cooperate
and act with the Treasurer and Auditor as a
County Board of Equalization. The commit
tee selected NIessrs. o. H. P. Fant Joshua
Jamison and James A. Drake These gentle
men are among our most responsible citizens,
and in our opinion, better selection could not
have been made. They live in different sec

to the Treasurer and Auditor in the proper and
correct equalization Of real estate. Judge
Cooke approved of the selection.

PIANOS, PIANOS, PIANOS!

| MEssRs. HoYT & Co.-Gentlcmen: Having
received many inquiries concerning the Pianos
manufactured and sold by the United States
Piano Company, we take this method OF an
swering them. The Piano is Seven Octayes,
Rosewood Case, Carved Legs and Lyre, largo
Square Grand Overstrung Scale, Front Round
Corners and Serpentine Bottom, Iron Plato,
French Action-warranted for five years. For
the merits, we refer you to letter of Mr.. Rob't.
Hester, Attorney at Law, Elberton, Ga, a gen-
tleman of undoubted veracity:
ELBERToN, GA, April %, 1874.
MEssRS. n. X. SULLIVAN & Co., Anderson,
S. C.-Gentlemcn Your favor came to hand by
last mail, and in reply have the pleasure to say
that the Piano bought of U. S. Piano Company
daughter-in-law has been giving lessons on it
now for two years-a practice which tries an
instrument very much. Yet 1t wears we'll,
keeps in good tune, and don't see but that 1t
is as good an instrument as those that sell for
about double the price. If was going to buy,
would take another before any Mt the prices
considerably over them.
Very truly yours,
ROB'T. HESTER.
Parties wishing to purchase would do well to
call upon us and examine other testimonials,
if necessary, before purchasing elsewhere. We
will with pleasure give any other information
desired, and will order the Pianos without ex-
ira charge.

CENTENNIAL MATTERS are looking up
little just now. Funds for the erection
of the building are available. and the
Board of Finance has accepted bids for
the erection of the main building and the
permanent Memorial Hall. The cost OF
these structures is to be about %, $780,
600, if no enlargement is made on the
present plans. The money voted by the
State Of Pennsylvania for this purpose is
$500, 900 in excess of the offer in the &C.
cepted bids. The structure will cover
eighteen acres Of ground, and will con-
sist of nine arched pavilions in the GEN.
ter, with three galleries 120 feet wide by
600 long on either side. This building
is to be completed by the first Of Janu-
AIRY, 1876, and the Memorial Hall by the
first of March Of that year. The friends
of the exhibition are elated at the present
aspect of affairs, from the fact that the
work of construction can be done inside
of the appropriation available for that
purpose, and at a price much lower
than was generally supposed. Tho &C.
cepted bidder is Richard ]. Dobbins of
Philadelphia, spoken Of as builder of
energy, experience and responsibility.

DEMOCRATIC STATE CENTRAL
COMMITTEE.

This body held a protracted session
yesterday. There was lively contest
over the apportionment OF delegates from
Eureka and Lander counties. The mem
bers from each of these counties wished
as large representation as possible, In
order that their preferred candidates
might be nominated in the State Conven-
ton. The basis of apportionment was
finally settled as follows:
This We have published already-Ed.
RECORD.
The next contest WAS over the place of
holding the State Convention. Reyes
placed Carson in nomination, Bonnifield
nominated Palisade, McBeth Winnie
mucca, and Heating Virginia City.
Winnemucca and Palisade were subse-
quently withdrawn, when Carson City
received ten votes and Virginia eight.
So the convention will be held at Carson
City.
The time for holding the convention
then gave rise to an animated discussion.
Major Hyman, of Ormsby, was in favor
of Monday, September 2sth, four days
after the time fixed for the meeting OF
the Republican State Convention.
Huntsman, of Lander, moved that Fri
day, August 2Sth. be the day selected.
Ellis. of Ormsby, suggested that Thurs.
day, September 10th, be fixed upon, and
Bonnifield, of Storey, contended sternu.
ously for Thursday, August goth. A
long and somewhat heated debate en-
sued, the friends of Ellis and McBeth
using every effort to have the Democratic
Convention precede the Republican Con-
vention, and Bradley's supporters trying
to have it postponed until afterwards.
Two ballots were taken without choice,
but upon the third there were seven
votes for September 10th and ten votes
for September 2Sth. So the latter day
was chosen. The Committee then ad-
journed until 10 o'clock this morning.
The Committee, on reassembling this
morning, passed the following resolu-
tons, unanimously, and then djourned
Resolved, That we recommend to the
various Democratic and Liberal County
Committees OF the State OF Nevada to
appoint primary meetings for the cleo
ton OF delegates to the State and
County Conventions, in accordance with
the above apportionment.
Resolved, That cheap transportation

and articles of production to be trans.
ported to markets lis actually necessary
for the well-beng and prosperity of the
State, and that we favor the passage OF a
law by our next Legislature, regulating
the tariff of railroad ireights and fares on
roads in this State, preventing unjust
| discrimination, thus reducing the cost oil
living for our miners and laborers, keep

SAN JUAN.

Mr.. Wright has favored us with the
following letter which he received from
W. j. Hutchings, now in San Juan:
DEL NoRTE, July 2, 1874.
j. W WRIGHT: Dear SRI am under
the painful necessity of informing you
that this country, as far as the mines
and people are concerned, is a perfect
blk. There is no mine in the San Juan
country, in my opinion, that will ever
amount to anything. This is the opin-
ion of miners generally, from Dever and
all the mining camps in this country.
The streaks of ore are very small and
resemble razor-blades. They are not as
rich as represented. I have been to q
great many of their leading mines, and l
give you my word, if had a million Of
dollars / would not invest one dollar OF
it in any mine that have seen. 1t is a
great pity that we did not leave Phoebe
about two weeks sooner, for if We had
we could have seen the camp before tn g
snow flew. From what we all heard OF
the country, l pledge you my word that
If a man had offered me $4,000 for my
chances before left TERRA Amarillo,
felt so sanguine of making q raise, I
should have refused his offer. There is
a report out that Ely Ray, with two
other men, were drowned in the San
Juan river, and / fear it is only too true,
as he left TERRA Amarillo before the
most of US, and he has not been heard
from after reaching the San Juan river.
/ arrived here last night and will leave
here for the mountains in the morning,
and prospect south to New Mexico and
Arizona. The Phoebe boys are scattered
out in every direction. By the way, you
can judge what the mines are. There is
not store or restaurant in the camp
The pork-psckers and farmers from the
Eastern States are laying around and
watching when prospector leaves camp
so as to buy his grub for half of what il
cost. You can judge how extensive the
mining is. Picks and shovels that cos
two and half to three dollars, they will
offer four-bits for them.
Yours respectfully,
w. j. HUTcHINos.

DEcL.RAIIoSs.-In another column
will be found report OF the recon-
mendatians and resolutions of the State
Central Democratic Committee. Out
side OF the ordinary routine of matters
connected with the organization, the
COMMITTEES passed resolutions in favor OF
the passage Of laws regulating fares aud
freight. and also for taxing the property
Of railroads at the same rate as ordinary
citizens. This is well enough as far as
it goes, but as the Committee did travel
outside of its routine duties, and dis
cussed some Of tie important issues of
the day, why did it not include the other
great questions. such as a free press,
finance, the salary grab, etc. There Is
no doubt but such matters properly be-
long to the State Convention, but when
men refer to such topics at all, they had
better make their general profession OF
faith, for the people are in no humor to
be triied with. They have had enough
of railroad attorneys, SALARY grabbers
and press gaggers. They will want can
didstes to make personal declaration
on all such matters rather than mere
formal adhesion to party lines, for the
latter are becoming daily of less and less
Importance.
