the President takes of the recent ELECTIONS. Very
few of the so called leading politicians of his par
ty have yet appeared here and il may be- there

pressed in ordinary conversation since Tuesday
noon, have heard something, whereof ! shall
now make note.
Election day was Cabinet day, and the Presi-
dent saw but few persons that afternoon. He re-
ceived a elegrapbic despatch or verbal message
from Baltimore Just before dark, saying that the
Conservative vote in the city was very heavy. In
the early part Of the evening despatch was sent
him by Governor Swami or one of his near
friends, stating that the Radicals were badly
beaten in baltimore, and that the State had gone
Conservative by a large majority. This news
from Maryland gave him much satisfaction. He
spoke of the difficulty between the Governor and
the Police Commissioners, remarked that he had
promised to give the Governor troops as soon as
they were called for, said General Grant had
constantly insisted on non-interference by the
military, and observed that he had been. amused

Baltimore matter had given him serious trouble,
and he was heartily glad the Radicals had been

in Maryland at this juncture would have very

Tuesday evening gave Hoffman over sixty thous-

In conversation during the evening he put the
victory in Maryland and the unusually large ma

drew happy augury Of the future. That the
commercial centre Of the country should be Sc
