in this city and throughout the state are con-
centratod on the general election, which takes
place on the 18th &C next month. Under the cx-
cltement prevailing, the Breckenridge or scccs

opinion that can be formed is that the Republic
cans will carry the state.
There are now Line companies Of volunteers
to serve on the plains at Camp DOwney, two
miles west Of Oakland, whero Colonel West is
in command. The cavalry companies aro at
Camp Leon. Another camp Is established near
San Francisco, where volunteers under the new
call for 90 900 troops are held quartering until
after the election, when more volunteers will
leave the interior for San Francisco. They re-
main at present tosavc their votes.
Two men residing three miles from Tehma
were murdered on the night Of the 2Sth Of Au-

In the meantime Lieutenant Carmichael Of
the Baltimore Police, was moving quietly
about with his officers accompanied by squad
OF military, making arrests, commencing with
the officers Of the legislature, and especially the
clerks, who cOntcnded that they would keep
the legislative machine going until quorum

members who voted for Mr.. Walliss famous re
