LOCAL MATTERS.

Yesterday morning. pursuant to the statute, to
open and canvass the county returns; but the
precincts Of Omega, Bowman's, Camden and
SebastopOl, not being in, they adjourned until
two o'clock. The Omega returns came in by
the stage, at noon, and the Board having heard
that the polls were not opened at the other
three precincts, opened the returns and set
down the vote Of the other precints. The work
was completed at noon to-day, and we have
merely time to give the total vote for State Su-
perintendent and the leading county officers:

The average majority Of the Republican can
didates for Assembly was 949. In our next
We shall give for reference, a table of the coun.
" vote. The Supervisors will adjourn until
next Monday, before declaring the result, as it
would hardly be legal to do it until the returns
from all the precincts are in, or until the time
for bringing them in has expired.
DBFICIENCY.-It has been ascertained that
there is deficiency in the accounts of ]. B.
Van Hagan, late Sheriff and ex-oficio Tax
Collector, in the sum of 81 ,SO2 Sc, collected on
the tax rolls of 80, go, and '6l, and which was
never paid over to the Treasurer. In the course
of collecting the delinquent taxes, under the
new law, the District Attorney has gathered up
receipts to the amount above stated, signed by
Van Hagan or his deputies, for taxes that had
been returned as delinquent. The Supervisors
yesterday made an order directing the District
Attorney to notify Van Hagan and sureties Of
the deficiency, and if the same is not paid in
reasonable time, to commence proceedings to
collect it. A portion Of the amount was collec-
ted by Phil. Moore, who, perhaps designediy,
neglected to mark it paid on the assessment
roll. The whole amount we presume, will be
paid over to the county without suit.

A BRIaHT IDRA.-We have heard It sUg-
gested, by a staunch Union man, that in view
Of the present critical condition Of affairs in and
about our national capital, that Il might be
prudent to turn the tables on our "Southern
BRETHREN" and induce some European power to
interfere in behalf of the Government, and
assist in putting down the rebellion. 1t is
thought that the Government would have less
difficulty in obtaining assistance from abroad
than the South has had.
THE MAGIC ART.-Mons. Herman, the re-
nowned professor of the magic art, performed
at the Theater last evening. He is by far the
best performer in his line that ever visited Ne
vada, and perhaps the best in the world. Many
of his tricks are unaccountable, and fairly par
take of the miraculous. He gives another en-
tertainment this evening; every body should
see him.
FRUIr.-Dr. A. Chapman presented US yes
terday a box of the finest plums we have seen
this season. They were Of the Bradshaw and
Imperial Gage varieties, and grown in his or
chard near Cement Mill. The Doctor has one
Of the best orchards in the county, and the
trees this season are loaded with fruit.
