The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1860-11-09


New YORK, Nov. S.-The Congressional delega-
ton just elected by this State neutrality-suspicious.
26, Opposition 8.
CITY INTELLTGENGF
The ELECTIoN.-The excitement which prevail
ed Wednesday was not renewed Yesterday The
news which arrived after light on Wednesday set
the matter to rest as to how the State had gone,
and little or interest felt in the general re-
suit throughout the country. During the day the
newspaper Offices were considerably besieged by
persons anxious to hear of the results in Virginia,
and few of the other Southern States. The prin-
cipa matter OF enquiry was to hear from South
Carolina. "What has South Carolina done?' was
asked by nearly every person. No definite answer
could be given to this question. There were nu-
merous reports in circulation, one to the effect
that the South Carolina Legislature had ad journed
without taking any steps relative to the dissolu-
tion of the States. This rumor caused the timid
to breathe reer, and congratulate each other that
''wise counsels had prevailed" Later in the day
rumor was put in circulation that the Charleston
banks had suspended specie payments. This put
things in tlutter, particularly among those who
have not he'd five dollar bill on any bank for a
"coon's age" This class of people ''deepy de-
pored the calamity" while the business men of
the community continued on their way, giving but
little credence to the report On enduring at the
newspaper offices it was found that both rumurs
were without the least truth, not teegraphic des-
patch having been received from Charleston dur
in the evening considerable number of persons
went to the landing, but disappointed in hear
ing either from Worcester or Somerset cOuntes-
The anxiety to know the exact majority of Mr..
Breckinridge in the State was no doubt owing to
the fact that during Wednesday afternoon
and night and yesterday forenoon, quite number
of bets were made on the number of majority he
would receive. As for as the naked fact of the
State having gone for Mr.. Breckinridge, that was
settled, and every person satisfied. Even after
night, when there was no probability of any more
returns being received, numbers of persons stopped
tie enquire the news. Most of the money which
has been lost and won the State was posted af-
ter the election The friends of Mr.. Bell had more
confidence in the returns which were made up by
the wise acres of the party, than those worthy
gentlemen had themselves and while the former
are heavy losers in purse, the latter have saved
their purses but lost their enviabe regulations as
mathematcians. There is but very little disposi-
tion manifested to bet the result in any of the
Southern States. Both parties claim Virginia and
Kentucky, but there is disposition to back their
opinions.

RoBBERY.-Some time during Wednesday night
| or Thursday morning the store of Mr.. C. Lewis
| Dunlap, Baltimore street. between Market Space
and the bridge, robbed of articles to the value
ofseveral hundred dollars. The thieves gained an
entrance by picking hole two feet square in the
rear wall. After getting in they went to work on
| the desk in the Office An iron chsel, which the
thieves used, was broken in two pieces and an iron
prise much bent. They finally succeeded in forcing
| III anu tne several drawers inside. Nothing was
| found, however, except papers of much value to
| Mr.. Dunlap, but worthless to the thieves. These
they scattered around in great confusion, but did
not mutilate any of them. The money drawers at
| tached to the counters ase forced from
which they took patent lever gold watch the
| property OF Mr.. Dunlap, and much valued on ac-
count OF its associations, being old family relic,
and twenty dollars in coppers, and similar amount
| In Mexican coin. The parties then helped them
selves to the groceries, but literally to the ci-
gars, which they also scattered on the floor. Mr..
Dunlap yesterday was unable to estimate his loss.
The thieves gained an entrance to the premi
ses from Swami street, and departed the same way
| They removed several boards from the fences be-
tween Swami street and the store, which afforded
easy egress with their punder. This is the second
robbery within the week in which the thieves
have gained an entrance to the store by means OF
picking hole through brick wall.
A MAN BREAKS HIS LEG TO AVOID PAYING FOR HIS
DINNER.-I esterday afternoon, about o'clock, a
man who booked his name at the Gilmor house as
John IL. Key, jumped from the lower verandah oil
the hotel into Court House lane, by which leap he
broke one of his legs above the ankle. 1t appears
that he came to the hotel before dinner, and after
writing his name, wandered about in such man
ner as to cause the proprietors to watch him, he
being a stranger to them. After he had partakeI
of dinner, he walked into the Office, when o.
the Messrs Stone asked him to pay for his fare, t.
which he replied that he couldn't or wouldn't. He
was then told that he would be expected to pay fol
what he had eaten. Key, it appears, then walked
into the gentleman's parlor, and while no one no
ticed him, raised the window, walked on the bal
cony, and jumped to the ground as above stated
lie was picked up, and taken to the Middle station
house, and afterwards sent to the Lombard street
Inhrmary, where the limb was set
| A MALICIOUS REPoRT.-There Twas prevalent OF
yesterday a report that each of the police haC
been taxed SIS, and that sum taken from their regu
lar two weeks pay on Monday last, and that th
money raised was used in carrying the city for Mr.
Breckinridge. This is most malicious fasehood
without the shadow of foundation. 1t was put il
circulation by man named William Barker, wit
was police officer, but who resigned on Wednes
day. On the last pay day, five dollars were de
| Quoted from Barker's pay, but it was nota ta'
levy, but fine which the Board of Police Commis
sioners had imposed on him for violating the rule
OF the department by sleeping on his beat, when h
should have been attending to his duty.

shal hane had him conveyed to his home on Ais
quith street, near Chew street. He has not spi
