that the majority in the city for Mr.. Sey-

that the majority in the city for Mr.: Sey-
mour for President. over General Grant,
is II, 451. In 1867 the Democratic ma
jority for Governor was Is, 066. The
majority for Mr.. Lincoln in the city in
1865. over General Mcclellan. was H.
937, when, however, (under the circum-
stances, excluding so mauy from the
polls. the total vote of the city was only
17,712, whereas the total vote of yester-
day is 80. 675, being an increase of 5,917
on the Governors vote Of 1867.
1T is in any event matter of congra-
tulation that the interruption to the in
dustry and business of the country, which
is generally incident to the excitement
aud turmoil of Presidential election has
now come to an enl. and that we may an
ticipate for time lull in the storm of
party strife. There has been little since
the war closed but struggle for party as
tendency, to which the consideration of
questions involving great practical ma
tional interests have been subordinated
and postponed Now that the strife is
over. these interests may perhaps no long
err be deferred to party schemes, and an
opportunity will be presented to recover
what has been lost by delay, and to make
the national welfare the supreme subject
of consideration. We have before OBJ
served that the more healthful sentiment
of the public mind in the direction of con-
servatism was recognized in the nomina-
ton of both General Grant and Mr.. Sey-
mour, and if this shall continue to be de-
ferred to-, the country has still reason to
be hopeful. The instincts and impulses
of General Grant are. believed to be con-
sentative and national, and if these are
permitted to shape and give tone to his
administration. there will be no reason to
despair of the republic. ,"

The Presidential ElectiOrs

We copy the following from the Balti-
more Sun of the 18th instant:
1.-THE great Presidential contest which
has 80 long absorbed the interest Of the
country was decided yesterday. and it now
only remains to give the result. The
clear, bri ght and braciug weather was
most favorable for bringing out full vote,
and seemed to impart animation and good
humor to those engaged in the contest
here. The returns received indicate very
clearly the election of Grant and Colfax.
The returns from the great State of Penn
sylvania show Republican gains there,
and these, with the returns received from
other States, leave no doubt of the issue.
The election passed off quietly in New
York and Philadelphia where disturbances
had been deemed probable though 10 To-
calities in the Southern States, where an
unfortunate antagonism of races has been
aroused, there seems to have been some
disorder, and even loss of life.
''rhe result, however much it may dis
appoint those who had anticipated any
other conclusion, and however unsatisfac-
tory it may be to all the opponents of the
successful candidates for the Presidency
and Vice-P residency, whether they ex-
pected it or not, will be acknowledged by
them, as good citizens, to be decisive,
and, as the declared verdict of the peo-
pie, be universally submitted to. In our
own city the election passed off in the
quiet and good order which has been char
acteristic of all our elections since our CT
tizens were reinstated in the right of fran
chise. of which the majority of them had
been for time temporarily deprived
BY the returns subjoined it will be seen

it is eminently desirable that there should
not be two,thirds Radical majority in

can be no doubt. It is as important for
General Grant that this should be so as it
would have been for Governor Seymour
had he been elected. The New York
World has figured up the result in all the
States for Congress which have so far held
elections, and as it is known that gains of
members by the Democrats have been
made in several States, including one
member in Maryland, it undertakes to
show that the Republicans are shorn of
their two-thirds power. Its recapitula-
ton and comparison of the House in the
present and next Congress is as follows {:
