LONDON, TUESDAY, OCT. 20. THE AMERICAN ELECTIONS. THE issue of the elections in Indiana, in Ohio, and still more conclusively in the key-stone state of Pennsylvania, leaves no doubt that political power in the United States will be entrusted for another term of four years to the Republicans. Every well-wisher to America and to mankind must rejoice in this result. The success of the Democratic party would have been the triumph of fraud and tyranny. " Repudiation" and " oppression " are the words inscribed on its banners. Such a result of the struggle of the past eight years would have been of bad omen for the future of the United States. Their " manifest " destiny " would then have been to sink to the level of Mexico and of Greece. The Republican party Las no doubt during its eight years' possession of power committed serious errors. The camp-follow ing part of the United States, the men who cluster together whenever there is plunder to be had, have joined it, as they would have joined any political section which had places to give away ; and the Republicans Lave shared the discredit in which the charac ter and practices of this hungry rabble involve all who are associated with them. They have to a certain degree become demoralised in their official Capt. In the heat of angry controversy with President JoitNsox, extravagant things have bee•n done and said which it is easy to excuse, but would be unwise to justify. The exceptional danger which ensued from the presence of an enemy in the very capitol, and at the head of the government itself, called fur excep tional measures of defence, which, viewed without reference to the peril they were intended to ward off, might seem to be of a character hostile to public liberty and harsh towards a con quered people. The three years amide half, how ever, of Mr. ANDREW JOHNSON'S Presidency have been really years of civil war, bloodless, but not leas critical than the four years armed struggle which went before, them. The great crime which removed President LINCOLN and placed Mr. JOHN sow in his chair was a disaster to all parts of the Union, and to both races, far greater than the continuance of the struggle in the field for another twelve months would have boon. All those exciting causes of animosity are likely to disappear with Mr. Joincsox's retire ment into private life. The election of General GRANT will send to Washington a President without " a policy." The position which the chief magistrate of the United States occupies is analogous rather to that of the Crown in England than to that of the Puna MmurrEß. Ho is the executive. It is Lis business to administer, so to speak, to the will of Congress, to give effect to its in tentions, so far as that depends on his own action, and to see that those intentions are respected and carried out by others. A King or Queen with " a " policy" in Englund would probably see the end of Monarchy in England. A President with a policy THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY ETINING, OCTOBER 20, 1868. seemed at one time likely to be fatal to the very institution of the Presidency in the United States. The American Presidents, it is true, aro party med. elected by a strictly party vote. The intention of this practice, or at any rate the purpose visor that, any formal intention which , it has come, to serve, is to inspire both departmetts of the Go-, vernment, the Executive and the Legislative, with the same views and spirit. In England, whore the sovereignty is hold for life and is hereditary, and where, therefore, the views of the legislature and the executive cannot vary together, the same ob ject is secured by the Sovereign belonging not to the same party as that which has for the moment, the majority in the House of Commons, but to no. party at all. Should this healthy principle be de-! parted from, the constitutional monarchy of land would soon be counted among the things that have been. _ _ The election of General GIANT will, therefore,; restore the harmony which for three years and al half has been lacking between the various elements i of the Federal Oovernmemt. It will leave the policy of Congress in possession of the field, with all the forces of the Union behind it. Thus disembar rassed of opposition at head quarters, Congress may be expected to pursue the path marked out for it with confidence, foresight, and moderation. Mr. JOHNSON was a mere unionist. The in tegrity of the American Republic, as an end in and for itself, with slavery as its corner stone if possible, without it if necessary, was the aim be set before him at the outbreak of the war. Union, on the basis of freedom and of political and social equality between both races, is the policy of Congress. No doubt it is not pursued with perfect consistency. To roach the journey's end, it is sometimes necessary to deviate from the high road. The Republicans have been reproeched by superficial critics because they do not enforce in every Northern State the conditions of negro equality which they insist ou iu the South. The reason is obvious. The relation of races is a problem critical and urgent in the South. It is not so in the Northern States. In Ireland the condition of the Roman Catholics was essentially alleviated in many particulars, before similar relief was extended to the Roman Catholics in England. The Dublin University was open to them for generations during which the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge were closed. A sound principle will be first applied where the need of it is peremptory. But it is untrue to say that the Republican policy is one thing for the South and another fur the North. Thu Republican policy has its home and head-quarters in Massachusetts and the New England States, and in Massachusetts and the New England States, with one exception, the negro has all the rights of the white man. It is unfortunate that English impressions of tho United States should be derived chiefly from the writings of travelling novelists, whose habit and profession train them to neglect all but the most superficial and ephemeral indications, who record only the fluc tuating impression of the moment, an•l who never look back to causes nor forward to effects. If the United States were known to England less through the works of clever story-tellers, such as the late Mrs. Tuottorx, Mr. DIME:O, Mr. SALA, and Mr. ANTHONY Tttos.Lors, and more through those of writers of scientific training, historic knowledge, and political reflection, such as DE TOCqUEVILLE, Sir Cnaniza Dram., Rssiture M _ARTINE ‘1.7, Dolmens' Snrrn, AuotsTE Larozr., and others, much ignorance and misapprehension, and there with many causes of irritation, would be avoided.

The meet ' ifiterthing event which I have to record to-day is tha visit of the Duo do la Torre and &Deal Tirthe Mae**, whole* They arrived.: about balcialetlr o'clock yesterday evening. At all the stations they passed the generals were received with the greatest enthusiasm by large crowds of the country people. At AllllllllS a halt was made for refreshments. Here luncheon had boon pre pared for the distinguished travellers, and after luncheon two or three speeches were made. Tope* who spoke first, promised in the name of the government the most ample liberties to the people. Cristino Marto*, who it will be remem bered was one of the principal speakers at the meet ingot the democratic party the other day, responded to the address of the minister, thanking the government, in the name of the democracy, for the services which they had rendered, and for the promises which they had given, and assuring them of the confidence and loyal support of the party which he represents. Serrano was not to be out done in generality and courtesy, and he warmly praised the abnegation of self and the disin terestedness which had been displayed by the members of the democratic party. The enthu siasm displayed by the people of Zaragoza is stated by the telegrams to have been altogether beyond limit. When the generals reached the palace, they received a deputation from the provinces, and addresser were delivered by the Duo do is Torre, Topete, and Signors Mertes and ()snafus, in the same sense as those which had boon pronounced at Alhama. Signor Olozaga will meet the generals at Zaragoza and return with them to Madrid ; and it is anticipated that there will be an interview between Espartero and Serrano at the same place. The feelings of the people of Arrag m appear to have been most unmistakably expressed in favour of the provisional government. At the road-side stations Serrano and Topete wore received by pro vincial juntas, detachments of the military, and bands of music ; and in Zaragoza itself the streets were crowded and the balconies were filled to see them pees by. Their words were listened to with the most anxious attention, and the generous sen timents which they uttered were cheered to the edit Some brilliant entertainments are to be given in honour of the illustrious guests ; and ono journal sums up the state of things in Zaragoza in these words :—" Immense concourse, extraordi nary animation, universal enthusiasm." The last act of the central revolutionary Junta of Madrid has been to propose the gradual extinc tion of slavery in the colonial possessions of Spain. This proposal is founded upon the declaratiou that the maintenance of the slavery of the negroes is an outrage upon human nature, and a disgrace to the only nation in the civilized world which maintains it in all its integrity, and ought, there fore, to be got rid of. The enfranchisement of the negroes will require the adoption of other measures in order to render the step just to all persons in terteted, and advantageous to the blacks them selves ; and these measures, it is admitted, can only be framed and adopted by the constituent Cortes. At the same time, the provisional govern ment may do something to satisfy offended justice, and to give evidence of the confidence which they entertain in the concurrence of the Cortes in this measure of justice and humanity ; and with this object the Junta asks them to decree that the children of slaves born after the 17th September, 1868, shall be free. No decree has yet been issued upon this motion, but I do not imagine that the provisional government will make any opposition to the proposal. There was a little inaccuracy in the account which I sent to you yesterday of the attempt to arrest Mallet, and his escape from a window on the third floor of the house in which he lodged. When I wrote it I was under the impression that a party of the military or of the national guard had been despatched by the government to effect his capture. I have since learned that this was not the case ; but that Mallet, who was looking over a balcony into the Carvers de San Geronitno, was recognised by some soldiers of the regiment which he lately commanded. These men, who, like most of the military, have turned right round in favour of the revolution, are said to have been disgusted by some acts of wanton and unnecessary cruelty which were committed by Mallet at Beier; and, finding him in Madrid, determined to arrest him and hand him over to the authorities. Mallot caught sight of them as they entered the house, and having noticed an expression upon their coun tenances which boded him no good, thought it best to make his escape by the window as they entered by the door. _ _ The withdrawal of arms from the hands of the people of Madrid is going on steadily and effec tually, and I am told that of 16,000 that were taken from the artillery store on the day of the revolution—that celebrated Tuesday, Sept. 29—at least one-half, or about 8,000, have since been re turned. This is very well ; hoe•eueae, although I have never entertained any apprehension that the people generally would make a bad use of the anus which were entrusted to them, it is impossi ble to answer fur every individual amung the population of such a city as Madrid ; and as there is no longer any necessity for these armed civilian guards, the weapons are much safer under the control of the military authorities than in the bands of uninstructed labourers and workmen. Speaking of these arms, reminds me to mention that a good deal of dis satisfaction is being expressed that, though all the officers who took part in thebattle of Aleolea have been raised a grade iu rank, nothing has been don e for Esadante, who was mainly lust •ntal in causing the distribution of anus to the piseple ; sued thus (as many think), in ensuring the success of the revolution, and preventing the occurrence of any outrages or disorders. Not a few persons object to this general promotion of the Witter* of the army of Andalusia as a measure which was un necessary, and must add considerably to the military expenditure ; but even those who find least fault with the liberality with which the officers of Serrano's army have been rewarded are dissatisfied that no distinction has yet boon conferred upon Escalanto. Some especially ,scrupulous persona are disposed to remark that this rather lavish distribution of military honours is not quite reooneffeable with the professions originally made by the generals in the name, as it was understood, of their armies, as well as of themselves, that they had not taken arms against the Queen with any desire to serve personal objects, or to obtain personal honours or rewards. The generals have hitherto adhered to their de clarations, and some of my friends think that it would have been better if the officers under their command had shown equal disinterestedness. Yesterday a duel was fought iu the bull-ring hero between a step-son of General Concha anti a sub-secretary of state. The geutlemen fought with the small sword, and the under-secretary received a severe, but I believe not dangerous. wound in the arm. I have not heard what was the exact cause of the quarrel, but I believe that it had nothing whatever to do with politics. TUE WRATIIER.-711.

Tile hope which Sir RODERICK Mumcnisos has expressed that in the course of a few weeks news may reach England of Dr. Ltvixos - rmze's arrival in Zanzibar, and that Dr. lAce.vo- STONE himself may be among us to re ceive a Christmas greeting, will bo shared by all:to whom LIVINGSTONE'S 11=110 is known. The latest dates of direct information with respect to the great traveller's movements and whereabouts will seem to the reader unversed in African dis tances and delays discouragingly remote. But there is no reason, Sir RODERICK Muacunsos urges, for alarm. Notes written by Livizzos'roxe in October and November, 1867, from Marunga and Cazembe, places which lie S. and S.S.W. of Lake Tanganyfica, have been received by Dr. Kum at Zanzibar. lay INOSTONT, it appears, when he last wrote, had been living for three months with a friendly Arab tribe, waiting for the close of a native war, before proceeding to Ujije, with the intention of exploring Lake Tanganyika, and thence pushing OD to Zanzibar. At T.Tjijo LIVINGSTONE would find provisions, medicine, letters, &c., and would learn the discoveries of Sir SAMITEL BAKER. This information, Sir RODERICK thinks, would induce him to attempt the solution of " the great problem of the Nilotic watershed of " Africa, by determining whether the great lakes " (Albert Nyanza and Tanganyika) are united " or separated by highlands, and if separated, by " ascertaining into what river-system Tanganyika " discharges its surplus waters." Ten months would suffice probably to complete this work and to bring LIVINGSTONE to the sea coast. The re port received by telegram from Bombay early in this month to the effect that LtvlxesroxE was within a week's journey of Zanzibar, confirms, and is itself confirmed by these probabilities, and ii.creases the confidence with which we may look to scr. our great African explorer amongst us fore the year ls out. POYAL VISIT TO TIM 110SPITAL FOR SICK CULL.. Did N.—Yesterday afternoon her Royal Higlinisis the Princess of Wales honoured the Hospital for Sick Chil dren, Great Grimed-street, with • private visit. Her royal highness, who was accompanied by the Hon. Mrs. Coke, was received Ly the Lady Superintendent and the Secre tary, Whitford. The Girls' Wards, a suite of noble roems (formerly the drawing-room floor iii the old mut sion built in the reign of Queen Anne, by Dr. Richard Mead, the court physician), were first visited ; afterwards the Wards for Boys, which consist of five large rooms, once the dormitories of the old house; these wards con tained nearly 70 children, other children being in the Fever Wards, which are isolated, and not open W visitors. , Her royal highness evinced much interest in the little patients and their various ailments ; kindly words were graciously addreesed to them, and the unreserved nature of the responses by the children told of their ignorance of the distinguished rank of their visitor and the condescend ing attention of which they were the recipient.. liar royal highness remained some time in the hospital, and pre vious to her departure expressed her satisfaction at the arrangements made for the comfort and care of the chil dren, the means adopted for their restoration to health, and for their amusement and instruction during the brief period they remain as hereonvaleecenta. The visit being a strictly private one, royal highness's presence in the hospital was known only to the officials who were in immediate attendance. TILE PRINCE Or WALES IN WINDSOR FOREST. —Yesterday his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales had another day's sport in the recesses of Windsor Great Park. The Prince, attended by Lieut.-Colonel Koppel, left Pad dington by the 10.10 cm. down train, hi s roya l hi g h ness travelling in • first-class compartment. Mr. Alfred Higgins, divisional superintendent of the Great Western Railway, accompanied the train to Windsor, where it arrived about 11 o'clock. A char u 6sic and four with a shooting break had been out from the Queen's etables by Mr. Moon, and in those his royal high. new and attendants left the terminus, and driving through the town of Windsor ts nueeeded to the Gr G roat Park. The royal party found am ple sport, the ph easan, hart" awl rabbits being *Mafia and after shooting over the preserve% in the neighbourhood of Cumborland-lotlgo Partook of luncheon, and drove back to Windour, re turning to town by the Great Western Railway in the afternoon at 3.50 p.m. ma mums suoiraos. The Pally li - nre points oat that while journalists are busying themselves with the supposed claims of probable or poseiblo candidates for the Spanish mown. the Spanish people themselves have not yet pronounced in favour of the monarchical form of government, much lea of any prince in want of a throne. General Prim, it is true, in a letter to a l'aris newspaper, has intimated his prefer. enco for a constitutional monarchy, bat in his official and representative capacity he has prudently and pur pmely abstained from anticipating the resolution of the Constituent Assembly. While the affairs of tho state continue to be administered by men worthy of the nation's confidence, the civil lint may well remain a little longer in abeyance. When the elections for the Consti tuent Aewmbly take place, the foundationsof the national sovereignty will, the belly News trusts, have been firmly and securely laid, and the responsible chiefs of the revolu tion will surrender their exceptional powers to the repro sentatives of a people sufficiently enlightened to consoli date and to crown the edifice of their liberties witk more respect of principles than of persons. The provisional government will, if the Aie4 is not mis informed, express it as their opinion that a monarchical constitutional government is the only one adapted to the requirements and the interests of the Spanish nation, and they will from that point of departure proceed to the prac tical conclusion. They will propose s sovereign and lay before the Cortes the draft of a constitution. The decla ration of the provisional government will, our contempo rary is advised, be made public shortly, and meanwhile the speech of M. Ohmage at Guadalajara is sufficiently explicit. " A monarchy," he said, " was a necessity for Spain. For a republic it was necessary that the poople should receive a preparatory education. Spain would en joy freedom with a representative government based upon universal suffrage." Tlic Nerald thinks that the letter addressed by General Prim to Le Gemloi■ may be viewed as a sort of manifesto to Europe. The deelaration that he and his friends are determined to bring to paw, if they can, " the political ideal of modern Spain, which is • real constitutional monarchy, founded on the broadest liberal basis that that government admits of," is reassuring to those well-wishers of the revolution who trembled when they feared that it was nearing the brink of the abyss into which France plunged in 1798. ♦ crvn. SEIVICII 011.1111UNCIL Some of the Post-office employs have complained to the Star of their not being snowed to canvass. as well as to vote under the new law. It appears to them an especial hardship that, while they are permitted to support a Can didate at the polling booth, they are not allowed to por male others to do the slime, or to state in any public manner their reasons for their own act. While admitting that this arrangement tends in some measure to prevent the free exercise of the franchise, the Star fears it is one that cannot be removed without far greater danger to the interest of the public, and ultimately to that of the employie themselves, than can be shown to arise from its imposition. TITS are. E. rtriCTIAS. It seems to the Telegraph that the high churchmen in Brighton who denounce Mr. Purchas's extraordinary in novations, his defiance of precedent, and ludicrous travesty of the liturgy of the church, have no locus staisai.

The Madrid correspondent of the Gaulois affirms, on the authority of General Prim himself, and with an emphasis which argues great call for the denial, that not only has the Count de Deus never thought of putting a crown on his own head, but that if by any extraordinary combination of unex pected circumstances the crown should be offered to him he would refuse it. This correspondent quotes as Prim's own words spoken to himself : " I would rather emigrate, and quit for over my country, which / so much love, than be its king." La Preme, referring to the report that a map of Europe will shortly be published, under the Emperor's patronage, for the purpose of justifying his peaceable policy, and showing that the changes in the 'boundaries of Prussia are no detriment to France, thinks it impossible that the news can be true. It would be not only " puerile," but " criminal," in the opinion of the Prase, after having during two years disturbed the repose of families by insisting on the necessity of a great increase of military force for the welfare and honour of the nation, to say now—" All this was a farce; you were wrong to be frightened, and there was nothing whatever the matter." It does not believe for a moment that the Emperor entertains any such ideas. The Patric, referring to a rumour that the Corps Legislatif was to be convoked for November, says it has reason to believe that nothing is decided on the subject. According to a Bucharest correspondence in the Augsburg Gazette, Prince Charles of Roumania has asked the hand of the third daughter of the Ring of Denmark, the Princess Thyza, and has been accepted. The marriage will take place, it is said, as soon as the young princess, who was born on September '29, 1863, shall have attained her seventeenth year. This alliance will closely connect Prince Charles with the courts of London, St. Petersburg, and Athens. The Brussels correspondent of the Opinion Nationale writes that in spite of the reiterated denials of the Paris official press the military treaty between Franee and Holland exists; and the asseverations of the Constitutionnel will not change the belief entertained in political circles at the Hague. The Frun-e says it is enabled to contradict the rumour circulated by several Italian journals that en interview will shortly take place at Milan between King Victor Emmanuel, the Emperor of Russia, Count d'Usedorn, and General Hombres. Libcrtel publishes as news from Brussels, " under all re:erie," that M. Rochefort hiss been seriously wounded in a duel with M. Marfori. The Bourse continues its upward course without a cheek. Bente to-day rose 273 c. for cash and 221 c. for account, closing at 7fr. 20e. in each case. All other securities were somewhat higher. The departure of the King of Prussia from Baden to return to Berlin is flied for to-morrow. Ilia Majesty will probably stop at some town on his way, and among others at Giessen and Halls. The Queen Dowager will leave on the 31st for Italy to pass the winter at Montone. The Journal de Nice announces that Fuad Paola, Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs, is to 'peed the winter in that town. His excellency's health is, it is stated, im proving elthough but slowly. The Duchess of Madrid, née Princess Margaret of Parma, niece of Count de Chambord, and wife of Don Carlos, has just joined her husband, who has been in Pare for some time. Count de Bismarck, although still at Varsin (says Oalirtom), is now suftlaiently restored in herilth to take pert in public affairs. All verbal sornmuniestions with the Minister of State take place through M. do KT); dell, privy councillor and private secretory to the Federal Chancellor. The 11fallow! audio states that the speedy return of the count to Berlin has again become uncertain. He is going to a wedding which is to take place in the Arnim Crwchelndorff family, to which he is related. Ho will Play there four days, and it is nut yet known whether he will proceed to the capital or go back to Varian. A New York paper says that before the war nearly 2,000 men were employed in various occupations in the Norfolk Navy-yard, while at the present time the number does not exceed 400, all told.
