nom the press, it will have been incontrovertibly
settled who is to preside over the destinies of the
nation for four years from the 4th Of March next.
n TO the final result of this great contest no OBJ
servant and rejecting mind can have any doubt
whatever What viii to- day be the verdict of q
majority OF the people, has been foreshadowed in
she recent elections in Pennsylvania Ohio, Indiana
Florida, and Baltimore. The merits of the different
nominees for the Presidency and Vice Presidency
are, of course, too well known to render comment
necessary at this late hour butt in order that every
man may have no opportunity Of being led astray,
We elsewhere publish, together with much other
political matter, complete list of all the candidates
for National, State, and City Offices. Let every
man vote in accordance with the dictates of his
reason and conscience, and he will not hereafter
DO troubled with upbraidings for having failed to do
his duty. The country is safe.
Everybody will be gratfed to learn that the tele.
graph lines leading from this city, will be held open
al Of tonight, for the accommodation of the press
and the public. In publishing Mr.. SWANS note
upon this subject yesterday, part Of the conclud
ing sentence was inadvertently omitted. :" The
public was included rs well as the press.
Let not the reader for q moment suppose that the
principal ingredients Of this issue consist of politics.
Tor it is seldom that we enabled to spread be-
fore the people more diversified amount OF highly
interesting intelligence from literally every quarter
of the habisabie globe. We have news from Cuba,
Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, Jamaica, and
nearly every part Of the United States.
Some very important information from Havana
win be found in the Geographic dispatches from
Mobile, where the steamship Black Warrior arrived
On Sunday, bearing the announcement that Judge
Conkling, our Minister to Mexico, had an interview
with the Captain-General Of Cuba, in which the
latter acknowledged that his government had been
too hasty, and he therefore apoogized for its past
conduct. He expressed his readiness to permit the
steamer Crescent City to land her mails and pas
sengers in future, but would not sanction any
attempt of Purser Smith to go on shore.
This is all very well, so far it goes
but then there are some other matters that
remain to be looked into. Not one word
Is said with regard to the overhauling of the
mails and papers in the captains desk on board
the American bark Cornelia. Perhaps this viii not
be easily explained away. 1t is likewise report
ed that Judge Conklng, on leaving the United
States steamship Powhatan, and proceeding to the
house Of the American Consul, was folio we'd by
xabble, who heaped upon him all kinds Of abuse
and insulting language. Is it the intention of our
wrongs, or will it boldly demand PREPARATION for
the past and security for the future2' The ex-
tracts from the Washington papers, appended to
the despatch mentioned, will give idea Of what
win be the future course Of NATIONAL authorities.
The four days later advices yesterday received
from Europe, by the arrival of the steamer Pacific

an old and very correct saying that "Paris is
France" and as goes the city just 50 surely follows
the nation. Another very striking feature of the
news, is the annunciation that the question Of gov
ornamental reform will be submitted to the people
themselves for ratification. This again will be
