Democratic Apathy la Ohio.

Washington, Sept. 26.
A letter received here to day front
a member of the Ohio State Republi
can Committee asserts that, the Re
publican prospects have picked . up
wonderfully in the past few days,
and that the Republicans will elect
the Governor and a majority of the
Legislature. The reasons given by
the writer are the unusual apathy
shown by the Democratic voters in
neglecting to register, and the with
drawal from the ticket of some of
their leading legislative candidates.

On traces
In Brooklyn", Tnnmday
v On Thursday evening last, about eight
o'clocVas Mr. Charles Murphy was sitting
in 'his' -store over the railroad, conversing
with his wife, some scoundrel from the
street threw .' a rok into the store, which
struck Mr; M.,' inflicting a severe blow and
bruising him considerably. Mr. Murphy
immediately ran to the door, and was just
in time to see the retreating form of a man
escaping in the dark. He blew a whistle
about twenty minutes to summon the po
lice before any of them came to his relief,
but they stated afterwards that they heard
the whistle for some time before they could
locate the direction from whence the sound
proceeded. - '

and was proceeding to choke her, when she
sci earned, for help. Two or three coloredj
men, who were passing in that direction,
ran to her assistance, wbep the.fellow, hear
ing them approaching, got frightened and
relinauished his purpose. The rescuers
commenced a search and finally discovered
the form of a man up a tree, near the scene
of the outrage, and one of the party fired
upon him, but unfortunately missed his
mark, when the scoundrel managed to ef
fect his escape. From the description Mrs.
Smith gives of the fellow, ho was either a
white man or a very bright mulatto. - -,
The frequency of such outrages as the
above shows the necessity of keeping an
adequate police force in the suburbs of. the
city for the protection of the people. '
The storm.
The rain storm which commenced here
Thursday morning has continued with one
or two slight intermissions up to the hour
of going to press this morning, at which
time it was still raging, accompanied by a
gale of wind from the northwest, which
set in last night and blew with considera
ble severity. The storm signal was raised
at an early hour yesterday morning, and is
continued for to-day. An immense amount
of rain has fallen during the past two days,
and parties from below report the roads all
flooded and barely passable, the streams of
all descriptions swollen to a great extent,
and it is feared much damage will result
The centre of the cyclone, which is more
fully described in bur telegraphic columns,
is at Cape Hallcras, where the velocity of
the wind was at last accounts over mty
miles per hour. v In this immediate locali
