POCKET PlcKISG.-On Monday night Mr.
L. d. Robinson, brother to the member of
Congress from the Marshall District came
into the city from Clark Co., and was met
by an old acquaintance, who has lately
moved into this city, named John Milton
Yesterday morning Milton followed Rob
inson around as he was making purchases,
and saw him have considerable money in
his pocketbook, which, he put into his
pantaloon's pocket. AS Robinson was
about starting Milton said be believed he
would go across the river with him, and
got on the wagon with Robinson for that
purpose. Before they had got TO the Draw
bridge Milton had stepped off the wagon,
and when Robinson felt for his wallet TO
pay his toll, he found he had been robbed.
He returned and got GU, a search warrant,
and searched the premises of Milton but
failed to find anything. 1t appears how
ever that among the money taken was a
twenty dollar bill. Shortly after the rob-
berry was committed, Milton it appears Of
fered twenty dollar bill at +. Nippert e.
Dunn's in payment for some goods he had
purchased. The bill was taken to the
Southern Bank and changed. These facts
being obtained warrant was issued for
the arrest Of Milton and he was taken be-
fore Justice Sayre for examination.
After hearing the evidence, Milton was
committed, for want of bail to await the
action Of the next Grand Jury.
Robinson supposes that he lost about
sixty five dollars, only twenty Of which
has been found.
Eleven dollars of the change received
from Nippert & Dunn were afterwards
found hid in Millions cupboard. and iden-
tilted by Mr.. Williams of the Southern
Bank. Milton has the appearance of an
utterly worthless fellow and has wife
with a small child, and a grown daughter.

elect him. He will get 81 in Pennsylva-
mia, IL Illinois and seven in New Jersey,
seven more than necessary. leaving as
margin, Indiana, Is, Minnesota, (which
are almost morally certain to vote for him.
In Indiana, Fillmore in 1856 had some
eight or ten papers to support him. Every
one of these papers now support Lincoln,
and that entire vote will be transferred to
him. These facts, taken together, with
the present efficient organization Of the
Republican party, we have the best of rea-
sons for believing that Indiana will come
out triumphant in the contest.-M
