LOCAL MATTERS.


RoBBED.-Charley Palmer left Nevada last
Monday afternoon, for North San Juan, taking
with him bundle of Extras from this Office,
intending to sell them in that place. He has
not yet returned, and his friends were beginning
to be somewhat alarmed; but their fears for his
safety subsided yesterday evening, when they
heard that he had been robbed at San Juan on
Monday night. We have not yet heard the
particulars of the robbery, but the deed is sup
posed to have been perpetrated by the notori-
Gus Blind Buck.
Since the above was in type, Charley has
returned. He informs us that he was robbed
of all his money, but was too much excited to
give us the particulars.
AS BAD AS A SoUTHERNER.-Numerou
instances are recorded of Southern men having
refused to accept a Federal appointment from
Lincoln; but if the statement of Wednesday
mornings Transcript is correct, Mr.. A. A. Sar-
gent occupies a similar position. This is the
first instance that has come to our knowledge
of Northern man and a Republican refusing
to accept Federal position before it was ten
dered him.
DELINQUENT LIsT.-We publish to-day, the
delinquent city tax list for the current year.
The taxes have been paid up better than any
previous year since the city government was or
ganized. The amount still unpaid, exclusive
Of cost, does not exceed two hundred and fifty
dollars, and we presume half of that amount
will be paid in before the day fixed for selling
the property.
CABIN BURNED.-A miners cabin, owned
and occupied by ]. M. Armstrong, on Christmas
Hill, near Little York, was burned last Tues
day evening. M. Armstrong had been absent
