THE LATE ELEcTIoN-coMMENTs OF TIE LONDON
PRESS.
LONDON, November 5.-Dispatches from the
New York Associated Press Office, giving un-
usually full details Of the result OF the general
election in the United States, were received
here in few hours after the polls closed. Inc
morning papeis comment variously on the elec-
ton of General Grant.
The Telegraph, a Liberal journal, after not
ing the lofty character and position of General
Grant, saws that the defeat Of the De nocrats
was richly deserved. They should have ac-
cepted the results Of the war by nominating
Judge Chase and not Horatio Seymour, maD
whose election would have been recantation
of all that was done in the war.
The Daily News thinks the American people
are evidently weary OF their last two years ex-
perience and demand strong government.
The Morning Standard charges the Republi-
= can party with the suppression of freedom OF
voting in several States, the enfranchisement
of hundreds of thousands Of ignorant blacks
and the disfranchisement OF nearly all the
Southern people. This state of things, the
Standard continues, coupled with the fact that
the Radicals held possession of the State gov
ernments and had control Of the polling booths,
with their notorious readiness to abuse this
power, made the Democrats fight at terrible
disadvantage; but had the Democratic party
nominated Chase or Mcclellan instead OF two
second-rate politicians, it might have sue
ceeded.
The Times holds that though the Democrats
are beaten and the representation In Congress
is largely against them, they are yet power
full party and must greatly influence the policy
of the government. The success OF Grant no
one is disposed to regret. He has fairly won
his high rank by hard work, real devotion to
his country AMI services which will live long in
its remembrance. He is no politician, and Will
take lis Office with greater freedom than If,
The nero of a hundred battles, he had uttered
all the shibboleths Of party.

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.
LONDON, November 6.-The Times has an
editorial on the result Of the Alabama negotia-
tions, which, it sfirms, from the speeches OF
the American Minister, have been brought t"
a satisfactory conclusion. 1t exults in the
solution of the question, and praises MIR. john
son. not only for the frank and conciliatory
manner in which he has conducted this contro-
versy, but also for his manly and stralshttor-
ward utterances in regard to the payment OF
the national debt. The Times declares that
the tone in which MIR. Johnson repudiates
tampering with the national credit IS fraud
shows that the higher class Of American poll

ity which are current on this side of the At
lantic.
