The bullet took effect in the right temple, entering the brain, and rendering him insensible. He continued to breathe until nearly twelve o’clock, when he expired. As soon as the shot was fired, Searls started down Broad street, and was arrested by officer Scott and lodged in jail. A small sized Colt’s revolver, with all the barrels loaded, was picked up near.where the Chinaman fell, and a small derringer, which had evidently just been discharged, was found on the opposite side of the street. Coroner Henry held an inquest on the body of the Chinaman to-day, and from the evidence taken, it appears that the difficulty originated between Searls and a Chinawoman. Searls accused the woman of stealing ten dollars from him, and declared his purpose of not allowing her to leave the room until a policeman could be sent for to search her. Ah Sing and other Chinese inmates went to the assistance of the woman and a scuffle ensued during which Searls drew a revolver and struck Ah Sing on the head, but the weapon was taken from him, and he was forcibly ejected from the house. Searls then drew a derringer and fired . at Ah Sing, the ball taking effect as above stated. The loaded revolver found on the spot was shown to belong to Searls, and it appears . Ah Sing had it in his hand when he fell. Liprary Booxs.—Mr. Charles Marsh, du. ring a recent trip to San Francisco, purchased . a large number of books forthe Nevada Library, which were received yesterday, and will be ready for distribution among the members in the course of a day or two. Among the works purchased are the following: Explorations in Equatorial Africa; Philip Thaxter; Tom Brown at Oxford, 2 vols.; Buckle’s History of Civilization; St. Clair of the Isles; Seasons with the Sea Horses; Thier’s History of the Consulate; Coins, Medals and Seals; Carthage and her Remains; Prince’s Visit; Counterparts; The Microscope; Crooked Path; Trubner’s Guide to American Literature; Gipsey’s Prophecy; Re. cent Enquiries on Theology; Navies of the World; Julian Home; Alchemist; Married, Not Mated; Plague of London; Life of Winfield Scott; Fall of Rome; Arctic Boat Journey; .

District Court.—Judge Searls has adjourned the District Court until Friday next, . the 4th inst., and in view of the probable va. cancy in the office of Judge, the civil cases . heretofore set for trial have been postponed in. ' definitely. ‘The murder case of Myersis set for . Tuesday, the 8th. Judge Searls has gone to! > Sacramento, it is understood, for the purpose . ef consulting the Governor in regard to the ap. pointment of some person to fillthe vacancy. . _ Mr. J. I. Caldwell, the Union Democratic candidate for District Judge at the last election, . and T. B, McFarland, who received a majority . of the votes for the office, are understood to be . _ applicants for the appointment. There is some . doubt as to whether the late election for Dis-! trict Judge was legal. Gov.
