After gaining access, they placed masks on their faces, and men repaired to tha Bleeping apartment of Mr. Davis, who was awaxened by the noUe they made. Tney rasped him by tbe throat, and threatened him 7ltn violence If be made any noise or oUered any resistance. He replied that be had been a -very sick man for some time, and tbat It was not at all likely tbat he would resist them. Oae remained at his bedside, while two of tbe vil lains repaired to tbe adjoining chamber. In Wblcb Miss Davis slept, and having awakened and admonished her not to create auy disturb ance, ther ransacked the house from top to bottom. Tbey were evidently after money, but did not obtain any until tbey returned to tbe room of Mr. Davis, where they secured $700. which was In a trunk. Among tbe auaeant were four $100 notes and a lot of silver coin. The scamps Bncoeeded In making their escape. A Swikdiek.

Tbe Republicans give no figures, bnt are sure of tbe State. The Demoorais carried Ohio county by abont 200 average majority. Returns thus far do not Justify tbe Domoorats in arriving at such conclusions. The Republicans are In good spirit. Tbe returns are coming In very slowly; no thing definite yet.

The Enrlhqnake The Wall of tliA lnlldiit-9 In the City Damaged Great Kxclteinent. San Francisco, Oct. 22. The earthquake is still the topi e of conversation. A slight tremor or two have been felt to-day. The total of the casualties worth mentioning do not exceed thirty. There were only five persons killed, thoueh in one or two Instances persons who were struck by falling bricks and timber may die of the Injuries received. A committee of the Board of (Supervisors, assisted by several architects, to day held a survey of the City Hall, fire engine houses, and other publlo buildings. The examination of the City Ball shows that the walls are badly cracked from the ground floor upwards, and the aisles are mostly mined. The Post Office clerks have resumed their duties. The Post Office occupies the lower story of the Custom House building. Had It not been for extra anchors and ties put Into the Custom House building after tbe earthquake of 1805, It Is pro bable that the greater portion of the structure would bave fallen to the ground. The old Merchants' Exchange, on Battery, street, opposite the Custom House, and whloh for some years past has been occupied by the United States Courts, was considerably injured. There is a large fissure In the north wall of the building. The Custom House and old Merchants' Ex change are on made ground, beyond the origi nal water front of the oily.
