Earthquake In California.

The severest earthquake ever experienced
at San francisco occurred between IL and
o clock Sunday, Oct. 9th. It frightened al.
most the entire population out of their hous-
es into the streets. During half minute
there were two tremendous shocks which
caused buildings to rock to and fro in a mar
ner altogether alarming. Services we're over
in most OF the churches. The large congre.
grafton OF the Unitarian Church was beinr
dismissed when the shock commenced. The
ladies' shrleked, and all pushed for the door
faster than they could bs accommodated with
exit. Similar scenes took place at ST. Mary' a
cathedral, and at some other churches and
Sunday schools. The rush was SO great from
the Catholic church. on Vallejo street that
the large doors TO the main entrance were
carried away and several persons we're in.
jured by being rrampled npon. The walls of
many buildings we're cracked in many places
and there was general surprise that large
stately edIhces like the Occidental and Cos.
mopolitan hotel and other buildings of that
class were not more generally or seriously in
jured
More or less plsstering from half the
ceilings in the city, and cornces and Ere
walls fell from many buildings. The entire
front OF lourstOry brick building lust
erected fell outward, covering about half the
Wide street with fragments. One indepen.
IDENTITY constructed chimney of the lighthouse
fell and crushed through room, com
ing down upon the tables and dishes to
the astoniShment OF the bsarders who were
taking their lunch. Three of the servants
there we're injured Two Cinnamon were
badly injured by the falling of FIRE wall on
Jackson street.
The City Hall bell commenced ringing on

wallis of the building were much broken up.

Brief accounts from Sacramento, Stockton

felt at Marysyile nor at PlacerviIe, but the
town Of Santa Cruz was shocked with great
severity, some brick buildings suffering much
damage and two being destroyed

port to be removed, and the appointment
Of General Sanders in his stead. This
Russell is the editor of the Republican in

Chicago Tribune in denouncing the restor-
alton policy Of the President. This shows
that Mr.. johnson is disposed to iucur
the risk Of exposing himself to the impo-

to puta wholesome restraint upon their
disorderly propensities. May this dispen-
sation of retributive justice be sanctifed to
all whom it may especially concern.

Habeas Corpus Case I'm MInne-

A St. Paul (Minnesota) correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune says
"The writ of habeas corpus applied for in
the case Of John Pryor, sentenced by military
court to be hung on the 10Th, was allowed BY
our Supreme Court. General Pope was tele-
graped to for instructions. he answered that
state of war still existed, so far as we are
informed by Congress aud the Pres dent, who
alone have the right to say when the rebellion
and invasion are over, and that the writ must
be disregarded. President johnson was also
telegrsphed to, and referred the matter to Mr..
Holt, who at last accounts, was examining
the papers, In the mean time, the Court,
and the military here keep the matter in sus-

three days, Pryor will probably also be like

The EIectIOn Returns-When TO
be opened aud the Vote
Counted.
The law, giving persons absent from
the county, DC. of their residence, in the
military service, the right to vote, passed
March Both, 1864, page SO, Vol. 6l, O.
L., is as follows
SIC BE il enacted by the General As>
sem Dly Of the State OF Ohio, that, whenever
during the eristence of the present rebellion
aoy OF the qualified voters OF this State
shall be In the actual service thereof or of
the United States, and as euch shall be hb
sent from the township or ward Of their resi-
dence," &c. giving them the right to vote at
the quarters of the commanding officer, &c. !
Section II Of the same law is as fol-
lows:
"Whilst this act continues IN force, no
person shall be declared duly elected, no Ger
tificate OF election shall be issued, and no
election returns under this or any other act,
for the same officts. shall be opened until the
thirfieth doy after any general election" &c.
BY the act of the General Assembly to
regulate the election Of State and County
officers, passed May Sd, 1852, Sec. 20,
it is provided
rThat on the sirth day after the election,
(or sooner in case all the returns shall be-
made) the Clerk Of the Court Of Common
Pleas, taking to his assistance two Justices
Of the Peace of the proper county, SHALL
proceed to open the several returns which
shall have been made to his office, and to
make abstracts of the following manner" &c.
1t will be perceived from the language
Of the first and seventeenth sections of the
act Of 1864, that that act was designed to
have only temporary existence, and ex-
pired with the rebellion - nor did it,
expressly or by implication. repeal section
twenty Of the act of 1852 ; but simply
suspended it "Whiist" the act Of 1864 con-
tinued in force
If the "rebellion," which was in ex-
istence on the 30th Of March 1864, when
the act of that date was passed, has ceas
ed to exist, the act itself has expired, and
the Clerk Of the Court, by his oath of
office, and under the penalties of the Sta
tute, is required to open the returns of,
and count the votes cast at the late elect
ion. under section twenty of the act OF
1852, at furthest on the sirth day after
the election
Win any sensible man contend that the
rebellion" existing on the 3Oth Of March
last, has not ceased ?

TAKE NOTICE

The Cincinnati Commercial is respect
fully informed that the Dayton Empire,
with a decency and forbearance wholly
unknown to its party, did not ere
ioice over the election of Judge
Haynes" They did and do exult, for
reasons well understood here, over the
defeat of John G.. Lowe, to which they
contributed some 5000 votes, or one half
the vote Of the county-to which 400 Re-
publican votes are to be added. Judge
Haynes political prejudices and SYM
pathies" were not in issue. The Demo-
cracy only knew that he was an able aud
upright judge, and that his own party as
sailed him, because two years ago he fear
lessly did his duty as judge in the mat
ter OF Habea; Corpus, aud, worse than
all, was personal friend of Vallsndig-
ham, and refused to become one of his
prosecutors. 1t is small business for
the Commercial TO talk about the De-
mocracy electing Republicans. We

Tie Abolition politicians of Philadel-
phia have in three days, returns from but
sixteen counties out of sixty-fve in the
State. And Notwithstanding that the tel
egreph from that city announces that
"leAding politicians" claim the State for
Abolitionism by $4,000, it is at least an
equal chance that the Democrats have
carried it.

PennsyIYanla.

The Philadelphia Age Of Wednesday
morning last, speaking Of the probable
result of the Pennsylvania election, says :
The Republicans elect their whole city
ticket, with the exception, perhaps of
their candidate for city Commissioner,
who, it will he seen, runs considerably
behind his associates. They also elect
their Senatorial candidates in the Second
and Fourth Senatorial districts. The De-
mocracy of Philadelphia maie a gallant
fight, reducing the majority against them
last year over three thousand. The result
in the State, as far as ascertained, indicates
the election of the Democratic candidates,
but until further returns are received, it
will be impossible to correctly give the
result. After the crushing defeats of the
Democracy in Pennsylvania since 1862,
the result yesterday shows the wonderful
vitality Of the grand old party, and should
inspirit our friends everywhere to go to
work and at once thoroughly organize for
the campaign of next year. At this late
hour we forbear paking any further
but refer our readers to the re-
turns as presented in our columns"
