Pen and Ink Picture.

Sycamore" the correspondent of the
Sacramento Bee, draws with his facile pen
the following sketch of the U. S. Circuit
Court, at San Francisco, and the celebri-
ties at present engaged in the New Alma
den case:
There sat the two Justices-Justice Nc
Allster looking down into the everlasting
transcript" with his usual placidity of
countenance; Justice Hoffman hitchiDg his
neither lip about in strong indication OF un-
rest under immediate affective circumstan-
ces, but always holding an attentive eye
towards the speaker. You might suspect
that his ears were elsewhere employed.
Before Peachy was table Of books, which
seemed TO declare that New Almaden civili-
zation was unearthed in the ruins of an an
cient city of San Luis Potosi. The speaker
was thoroughly engaged in his discourse,
which had the merit, certainly, of direct
and clear delivery.
Immediately to the left of Mr.. Peachy
sat Senator Benjamin, his face generally
on half grin; which expression of coun-
tenance seemed sometimes to be manufac-
tured in the approval of the speakers ideas;
sometimes in interchange of congratula-
tions with Reverdy; sometimes in sneering
at Edmund, the nephew of be of Roanoke.
To Mr.. Peachy's right sat Reverdy him
self, engaged in fashiouing brief points in
the order in which Mr. Peachy proceeded;
writing-I must ada most diaboical
fist. Every now and then he would take q
good square squint at the Justices, as much
as to say, "Ive got to give these old cocks
a HI of talking !" and every minute
he would twiteh apart the left corner of bis
lip with sucking crack. then run one of
his index fingers into the right side of his
mouth and rub his back gums, as if he was
laboring for the delivery of third set Of
molars.
And over yonder, all apart and alone by
himself bending over one of the outside
tables, sits Randolph. He does not take
many notes; he is principally listener, an
attentive, but not particularly interested
spectator. Once in great while he rises
TO interrupt Mr.. Peachy-always profuse
in his apologies for SO doing-propounding
u question which doth indeed sadly inter-
rupt the speaker, somewhat modify the
depth of Benjamn's grinning wrinkles, and
set Reverdy desperately at work around
his lingual organ, in search of new growths
Then the pale son of real and noble Vir-
ginia aristocracy takes his back seat with
as modest an air as if he had not been
guilty of little trick of evaporation.

THE WORK OF THE BRECKINRIDGERs.-
The st. Louis Republican, speaking of the In
diana election says:
1t is undeniable that the efforts of Bright,
Fitch and Joe Lane were essentially necessary
to give the State to the Black Republican cam
didates for State officers in Indiana. They la
bored increasingly to accomplish this object.
Every Douglas man in the State voted for Hen
bricks for Governor, and every Breckenridge
man against him. Bright boldly declared
against him, and all the postmasters, marshals,
mail agents and other Federal officers had to
follow suit In this way the Democratic party
was defeated. To make sure work of it, when
Breckenridge Convention was held before the
election, they declined to make nominations for
State offices, leaving all their partsans, and all
whom they could influence, to vote directly for
the Lincoln candidates. The State was flooded
with anti-Democratic documents-the few
breckenridge papers made war upon the Dem
ocratic candidates without turning upon the
Black Republicans at all-and now James Bu-
ehanan glories over the Democratic defeat.
Here are the real causes for the defeat of the
Democratic party, and it is to be laid at the
door of the Breckinridge party. Not only in
that State, but in every other, the most violent
enemies the regular nominees have to contend
with are to be found in the ranks of the sup
porters of Breckenridge. They avowedly pre-
fer the election of Lincoln to the success of the
Democratic party under the lead of Douglas,
and in proper time will fall in with, and become
the recipients of fayors from thatparty.

IvERsoN AND TooMBs.--Twelve months
makes great change both in men and
things. About year ago, Senator Toombs
denounced Senator Iverson, as unfit to rep
resent the people of Georgia, and should be
thrust out Of his seat in the Senate. Iver-
sons sin was opposition to the popular sov-
ereignty doctrine of Douglas. But Iverson
stands where he stood year ago, and
Toombs fights side by side with him.

PROPERTY IN New YoRK.-The State
Board of New York have equalzed the real
and personal property Of the State. and it
foots up 81, ,A9, 9,l55,52o. New York city
has $55O,O7s,77s, and Kingsceunty, Brook
lyn, $1OG, G,295,59l. Two counties have
over s4O,OOO,0OO each; one over 10000
600 !; one over s2O,OOO,OOO, and nineteen
over slOOOO,OOO. The value of property
in New York city is four times as much as
all the property in California, and the pop
ulation Of the city about double that of this
Sinte.

ONO AND IHDIANA.-The latest and most
reliable Intelligence from The East, gives
the Republican majorities at about $4,000
Or 20, 900 in Ohio, and 10000 or $1,000 10
Indiana, at the late State elections. Not.
witbstanding these large majorities, we DO
not regard those States as hopelessly lost
to the Democratic party. The majorities
NAV be overcome at the Presidential cleo
ton, and the electoral vote Of both States
may be cast for Douglas. In Indiana, the
entire Breckenridge vote was cast for the
Republican nominees, in order to defeat the
Douglas candidates for State officers. AT
the Presidential election, this vote will be
given TO the Breckenridge ticket, and if 1t is
as large as the Republican majority at the
late election, the State will go for Douglas.
Bright and Fitch the two Senators, assisted
by all the Federal officers in the State, have
succeeded in building up quite aparty in
Indiana, ana we should not be surprised il
as many as 10000 or $4,000 votes were cast
for the Dreckinrdge Electors; this would
ensure Democratic majority 10 the State,
The position of parties in Ohio is similar to
that of Indiana. and the same influences
will tend to diminish the Republican vote in
both States at the Presidential election.

DARING ROBBERY AND MURDER.-A dis
patch from Coloma, dated October 3Oth,
says:
Last night about s o'clock, eight men
with masked faces went into Pearson X
Co.'s store at Peru, about four miles from
here, and demanded the keys of the safe,
presenting their pistols at him. He gave
up the key, when they opened the safe and
took all the money and specimens it con-
tanned. Pearson made movement to leave
the room when two shots were fired at him.
one taking effect just over the right eye.
Six men were sitting around the store when
the robbery was committed, but being un-
armed they did not offer any resistance.
Mr.. Pearson died the next day, (Wednes-
day,) from the effects of the wound.

A. p. DUDLEY.-This gentlemen, one of
the Breckingridge candidates for Elector,
has been induced to reconsider his resolu-
ton to withdraw from the canvass. The
reason he gave for refusing to make any
more speeches, was that "Lincoln was as
good as elected" and as he was fighting
alone for the spoils, he wil.ed as soon as it
became painfully evident that Breckenridge
stood not the least chance Of being elected.
