Warm News From JoDesviIIe.

JoNEsvlLLE, Nov. 17.-Saturday

o result Of the days doings today is
another lively day. Magistrate Bates
has issued four warrants this morn
ing and the Town Council has as
many more cases before their court.
There were considerable signs of dis
pensary liquor to be seen Saturday
and there were two fights and shoot
ing scrapes, besides there were many
drunks, and yesterday there were two
elopements and today is return day
for these misdeeds.

CAN THEY OFFER
ANY EXCUSE?

We understand that according TO
Law the State Board Of Canvass
ers were required to meet in Colum-
bia on last Thursday, Nov. I35h, to.
declare the result Of the recert el.c-
ton; but Notwithstanding this, ard
the fact that each member OF that
Board, consisting Of the Secretary OF
State, State Treasurer, the Comp
troller General, the Attorney Gen
eral, the Adjutant General AMI tn,
Chairman Of the Committee or Flee
tiors OF the House, had been indivi6-
ually notified, only one Of them,
State Treasurer jennings, was pres
ent, therefore the result Of The c.oo-
ton could not be declared. Where
were the other members Of this board,
and what excuse can they possibly
offer for this fragrant neglect Of duty?
We cannot conceive any plausible
sxcuse that could be offered by these
officers, elected by the people ard
sworn to the faithful discharge OF
every duty devolving upon them.
1t is another evidence Of the fact
that our primaries are supposed 10
settle everything, and very little ut
tentiou is paid to the election which
follows the primary. So little in
fact that Il very small part Of tho
voting strength of the State is polled
at the general election, the people
taking it for granted that everything
had already been settled III the pri-
mary. The people are in q measure
excusable for this, as many Of them
do not know that the poliirs strength
Of each State is basod in Cougres un-
on the vote cast in the general elcc-
tion, and not the vote cast III the
primaries. But for the officers Of the
State, thoroughly familiar with the
situation, to apparently wilfully neg
lect so important a duty as the de-
claring of the result Of the election,
according to law, thus deliberately
laying down the gap for those who
care to contest the congressional PAL t
of the election, is a negligence beyond
our comprehension, and the members
Of the Board should be made to show
cause why they failed to meet at the
appointed time to attend to this very
important matter. We understand d
this is the first time such thing has
ever OCCURRED, and it should be inves-
tigated.

The News and Courier's Sunday
edition contained the first reports
from South Carolina Society. The
reports came from all over the State
and the social field was thoroughly
covered. This department will prove
an interesting feature Of the News
and Courier among the society peo-
pie and will no doubt materially in
crease the circulation Of the Sunday
News and Courier. Everything of a
social nature is covered in this new
department. And the various soci-
cities, clubs, etc, are requested to
hand in to the editor Of THE TIMES a
report Of all their meetings every
week, thus Union will be represented
weekly in this new department, and
the outside world can get a glimpse
OF the bright side of life in the hus-
tling, growing city of Union. Send
in your reports not later than Thurs
day, noting prospective meetings as

Will Brook No Mediation of "a European
POwer-Arc Ready to Treat for Peace
With Beers in the Field and Only in
South Africa.

The Secretary Of State for Foreign
Affairs, On behalf Of the British govern
inent. has rejected the, overtures for peace
IN South Africa made by the Netherlands.
The full text of the correspondence be-
tween the Secretary and the Dutch min
lister in London was given To the press oi
Britain and Holland simultaneously.
Lord Lansdowne's reply to the eommu-
nication OF the Dutch minister makes it
conspicuously plain that no mediation ou
the part of any European power will be
brooked. The British government will
only enter into negotiations for peace
with the Beers in the field and only in
South Africa.
1t is nov said that the retirement OF
Lord Salisbury from office will be coinci-
dent with the end of the South African
war. The St. James Gazette claims To
have the highest authority for saying
the premier has fixed the restoration OF
peace in South Africa as the appropriate
moment 10 resign office. If the war is
ended Lord Salisbury will retire at the
conclusion of the present parliamentary
session. but it is his present intention TO
retain his post until peace is accomplish
ed.

plauding Lord Lansdowne's dignified and
courteous rejection of what is regarded
as rather ingenious attempt on the part
OF the Dutch government to draw Great
Britain into making peace Overtures to
