The Presidential Elcctlon-The Popular
Vote.

We pre- sent to the readers the Herald, to-day,
the details of the official result Of the late Presl
dental election, in each of the States of the Union,
with few exceptions as to the new States of
Iuwa, Texas, and Florida. From those States,
however, the official aggregates are known,
that we are enabled to give general recapitu
lation, by States, with more nice accuracy than
has heretofore been In our power.
When it is considered that the election for cleo
tors Of President and Vice President took place
on the eth of November, only fortyfive days since
and the vast extent of the United States, with their
numerous election DISTRICTS, are also considered,
1t may well excite surprise among our own cltl-
zens, well as strangers, that we are enabled to
present the vast body Of political statistics which
appears in our paper to-day, at period compare
lively early. Here is the result of the political
thoughts and actions of nearly three millions OF
voters of this great republic, who, on the 7th Of
November. peaceably performed the act of choosing
their highest executive officers; and the details
are collected from surface of two millions Of
square mules, and published in forty five days after
the election
We have endeavored, throughout this campaign,
to Ilace the Herald in the first rank, as a medium
of political intelligence; and the statistics we now
give, we can commend as reliable for future re-
ference.
TIE CHOLERA ExcITEsIENT.--It seems that
another case of Aslatic cholera has been reported
as having occurred IN Washington street, within
day or two past The official announcement is
very brief on this point, and many of our citizens
are unable 10 credit that 1t really was AsiatIc
cholera. In such reports little more fitness
would be desirable; and, with all due respect to
the gentleman who made the announcement, we
would ask for Information as to who the man was!
what were his habits! how long was he sick
what was the treatment adopted &c. &c. In
making an announcement calculated to alarm our
citizens, and perhaps injure the trade of our city,
certainly some more definite information ought
perhaps, to be given, than that contained iu the
official announcement, as published.
-TnE STEAMSHIP CALIFORNIA, the pioneer OF Mr.
Aspinwall's Pacific mail steamers, which LEFT
here on the evening OF the 9th OF October, arrived
at Rio Janero on the morning of the p Of No
vember, making the run IN the exceedingly short
space Of % day. A letter from CAPT. Forbes to
her owners, speaks in the most hatterlng manner
of the performance of both engine and ship.
Nothing occurred during the passage, TO mar IN
tie slightest degree the perfect unanimlty which
prevailed throughout every department of the noble
vessel. she would take IN supply OF coal at Rio,
and proceed on the 12h of November for her
destination. At this rate, she would reach Panama
many days before the period advertised tor her
departure for San Francisco.
