LOCAL MATTERS.

REPUBLICAN, OR UNION CoNvENTroN.--
The delegates to this Convention met at the
Thcater, at two o'clock this afternoon, and or.
ganized by electing w. H. Sears temporary
Chairman, and E. f. Spence temporary Secre-
sary. Committees were appointed on creden-
tials, permanent organization, order of busi-
ness and resolutions, when the Convention ad-
iourned for one hour to give the committees
time to report. The canvassing for the nomi.
nation for Senator has been quite active since
Yesterday evening, and strenuous exertions are
being made to defeat Birdseye, his opponents
having hit upon Murdock as the most available
man for that purpose. Birdseye's friends, how
ever, claim that he has a clear majority, but the
PARTIES seem to be about equally divided, and
there is no telling how the vote will stand until
the ayes and noes are counted.
BREcKINRIDGE CoNvENTToN.-Pursuant
to the call of the Breckenridge County Com
mittee, the delegates met at the Court House,
between eleven and twelve O'Clock, this fore.
noon, and having organized temporarily, and
appointed Committees on credentials and order
of business, adjourned until two o'clock. Our
paper goes to press at too early an hour to
give any further proceedings. The Conven.
ton was called to elect delegates to the State
Convention, and nominate ticket; but they
will probably postpone the nomination of
ticket until after the meeting of their State
Convention.
PRIMARY ELECTIoN.-W hope our friands
will bear in mind that the Union Democratic
primary election is held at the City Hall, at
half past seven o'clock this evening. There is
no contest for the nominations, and for that
reason there will be no mastering of the friends
of different candidates; yet those who feel an
interest in sustaining the party organization
should be present at the primary meeting, and
elect men to the Convention who viii represent
their views.
HOSPITAL PATIENTs.-Eleven patients were
admitted into the Nevada County Hospital dur
ing the month Of July. Three patients died in
the Hospital during the month-twO Of them
within day or two after their admission. In
addition to these, one small pox patient, who
also died, was taken care Of at the expense of
the county.
COUNTY BUsINEss.-The County Supervi-
sOrs meet on Monday next in regular term, to
transact county business. They will be in ses-
sion three or four days, and as they meet the
week after as Board of Equalization, they
will probably adjourn so as to hold meetings
for county business until the middle of the
month.
INDICTED FOR MURDER.-The Grand Ju-
ry, summoned especially to investigate the case
of VIM. Berbeck, who killed - Hitchel, at
Orleans Flat, some three weeks ago, convened
this morning, and found true bill for murder
against the accused. The case will be certified
to the District Court.
DAGUERREAN GALLELY.-Mons. Liebert
has sold out his splendid Daguerrean Gallery;
on Broad street, to Mr.. M. ]. McCutcheon,
who continues the business at the old stand,
and is prepared to take daguerreotypes, photo
graphs, etc., in the best style Of the art.

been warmer than any previous day this season.
AT seven o'clock this morning the mercury

o'clock it had gone up to 95 degrees.
UNIvERsALIsT SERvIcEs.-Rev. Mr.. Wal.
