LOCAL MATTERS.

VOTE OF THE CoUNTY.-We have received
the returns of the vote for Governor, from all
the precints in this county except four, and the
totals foot up as follows: Stanford, 8, ,O92 Con-
ness, 1857 Mcconnell, l,757. The precincts
10 be heard from are Eureka, South Fork. Mo.
hawk Flat, and Sebastopol Hill. At Gold Bar,
we understand, the polls were not opened.
From casual glance at the returns received at
the Clerks office, we Judge that Stanford has
run some three hundred votes ahead o. his
ticket, while the vote for Conness falls about
that much below his ticket. This was owing TO
the pretty general belief that had obtained
among the people, thatthe contest was between
stanford and Mcconnell.
SrRIKING BALANcE.-A gentleman of
this city, who belongs to our party, and who
believes in giving his money show when an
opportunity presents itself, was very busily en-
gagged on Thursday, in collecting the returns as
they came in from the different precincts. We
saw him about one o'clock, and asked him how
i looked. His reply was: 81 think the vote
between Knowlton and Kent will be very close;
have already got long row of figures for
knowlton, and as soon as get enough for
Kent to strike a balance l shall be ready to
make my bets" Up to noon, to-day, he hadn't
got votes enough for Kent to "strike bal
ance.
n FLAG FOR THE CoURT HoUsE.-At the
risk of being considered officious, we would
suggest to the Republican county officers elect,
buf Ynal.o
and on the day they go into office hoist ON the
Court House an American flag, in token of
their patriotism and devotion to their country.
1t is great disgrace to Nevada, having but one
public building, that this matter should have
been neglected so long, and we trust that those
who ara to receive the emOluments Of the county
offices for the next two years viii wipe out the
stain by placing the national emblem over the
building they are to occupy.
COURT House REPAIRs-Mr. Cove, who
has been engaged for some weeks in repairing
the ire-walls and plastering ofthe Court House,
has nearly completed his contract, and the in
side Of the building already presents much
more creditable appearance than it has hereto
fore. The fre-walls have also been re-tinned
by Mr.. Turner, and the roof repaired, in order,
II possible, to prevent its leaking during the
winter storms. The total cost of the repairs
will amount to five or six hundred dollars.
EIGHTH CENsUs.-We are indebted to Mr..
Welch, of the Pioneer Book Store, CONNER
cial street. for neat little pamphlet, contain
Rg population statistics of the United States,
compiled from the late census 1t gives the
area Of the several States and Territories, the
population by counties, the population Of the
principal cities and towns, and other interest
ing statistics. 1t is useful work for reference.
LIFE OF ScoTT.-HeadIey's life of Gen.
Winfield Scott, work just published, is for
sale at the book store of G.. w. Welch, Conner

pages, and aside from its interest as a bioga-
ply Of the most distinguished military man Of
the country, contains many interesting histori-
cal incidents.
A HARD CAsE.-Chas. Stone is a hard case.
lie got drunk last night, and was arrested and
lodged in the calaboose, and this morning fined
six dollars. This, however, was not enough to
sober him, and he was arrested again this af-
ternoon, and remanded to his old quarters.
