WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The election,
and political probabilities resulting there
from, is mainly discussed to-day. Radi-
calls. ofcourse, are in a high state of jubi-
lation. Singularly enough, Democrats
are not so greatly downcast. The latter
profess the hopefulness that Grants ad-
ministratIon will prove conservative in
character, and as such, displeasing to the
intense Radicals. It's held by them, and
also by moderate Republicans that Grant
will not acquiesce in the abominable
doctrines of Sumner & Co., and out Of
this division good results will come. Re-
ferring to the disposition of Democrats to
console themselves with this thought,
the Star, Republican, says: eve ap-
prehend there is more solid foundation for
this philosophy on the part of the minori
ty than most Republicans would suppose.
Not that we think Gen. Grant will ever
place himself upon the Democratic plat
form or formally leave that framed at
Chicago; from the very nature OF things,
however, it is impossible for any Presi1
dent to satisfy the more ultra of his ante
election supporters, and in addition to
this inherent general difficulty, we do
not doubt that President Grants admin
istration will naturally and intentionally
turn towards moderate and Conservative
measures. So, after all, the Democrats
may not be disappointed"
When will Grant resign his position in
the army? is a question readily pro-
pounded but not easily answered A
member of his staff, however, expresses
the opinion that he will not resign before
March.
There are rumors afoat about the Pa
cific railroad calculated to cause distrust,
although the precise character Of the
trouble has not been made public. 1t is
understood that charges have been made
against prominent individuals connected
Herewith and special instructions have
been given the commissioner to inVesti
gate them.
Speculative reports assign John Sher-
man, A. T. Stewart, or Zach. Chandler to
the Treasury Department, under Grant,
and Stanton to the War Department, but
this is purely speculative.

captured and dealt with in d manner
that should create suspicion Of foul dealing,
the United States government might be
