The editor of the Constitution having al.
dressed q note to one of our city attorneys
s S. Baxter, Esq, who is an incorrigiJl,
wag, but in an exceeding genteel way, ask
ing if he was present when the Vice Presi
dency on the Douglas ticket was rendered t,
the Hon. Wm. S Yancey, Mr.. B. answered
in letter of length which closes thus
Mr.. George Sanders of New York, came
in. After some general conversation about
the prospects of Douglas and of uniting the
! party on him, Mr.. Sanders urged Mr. Yancey
to accept the offer that had been made him.
and as inducement to accept it, assured Mr..
Iancey that Douglas must die within six
months after his Inauguration, and that then
Mr. Yancey would have the whole thing in
his power"
Those who know George Sanders need not
be told how he enjoyed this poking of fun at
Yancey, but the Constitution>man never once
suspected the dignfed Mr.. Baxter Of an in
tention to sell him, so gravely and earnestly
is the statement made and this statement is
not only published by the editor in his next
mornings issue, but it is accompanied by a
lengthy editorial, calling public attention to
the conclusive nature of the evidence proving
the charge that Mr. Yancey was rendered
the nomination on the Douglas ticket. Mr..
Baxter enjoys the joke as well as any one,
and suspects Broom, Of the Constitution, Of

PLUM4s CoUNTr-The following letter has
been received from Plumas county:
Nov. 9th.-Enough is known of the elec-
tion to show that Douglas will beat Breck-
inridge about so votes, and precincts to hear
from will run Uncle Abe" ahead of Breekin-
ridge. Cunningham (Brecl is "out" of the
fight. Woods chances are the best, but
Megarrigle nay be elected. Cox Republican
candidate for Joint Senator has carried the
county, certain, by 100 majority, but Butte
has saved Irwin, and he is elected.
HABEAs CoRrUs-We were unable to ascertain
the facts until to-day in the matter of the ap-
pleation Of E. j Buchanan-a proceeding Ly
habeas corpus on the part of the petitioner to
obtain the possession of the child Eugne
Lawrence. 1t seems that the petitioner is
the mother of the child and is resident of
Timbuctoo, where she has resided for the last
two or three years; the child is now near
FIVE years Of age. That the mother some two
years since was in the possession of the child
and that about that time similar application
was made on the part Of the father TO obtain
possession Of the child, and the court having
heard the fstimony in the premises, award
ed the chilly to John and Julia Reding, the
intervening parties in the former suit, and
the present defendants. This was DONE as
we are informed, from the fact that neither
the petitioner or the defendant in that suit
was capable of taking care of or supporting
the child. 1t seems, however that upon the
recent.trial Of the cause between the petition
er, Mrs. Buchanan, and the defendants, the
Reding's, it was established by some of the
most respectable testimony in the county
that Mrs. Buchanan was not only capable
but well qualified, to bring up and educate
the child-her character being established by
the most reliable members of the community
in which she lives
Under this state of the case, the District
Judge upon the application of Rediug's coun.
sell granted a continuance Of the cause until
one week from to-day in order that defen-
dants might have an opportunity to rebut
the testimony, when the matter will be final
ly disposed Of by the Judge. We under
stand that the child was left in charge Of tn,
Sheriff the county, and by the latter officer
placed in the charge ofone of our most re-
spectacle citizens and taken to Timbuotoo
where it will remain subject to the further
order Of the Court. From what we have
heard of the characters of all parties con-
cerned, we presume the child Eugue will be
