We are happy to add that the probabili-
ties at this hour of writing seem against
the success of johnson A. Griswold for
Governor.
The report that the Ocean House, in
Newport, Rhode Island, was entirely de-
stroyed by fire on Saturday night, is with
out foundation.
The Times says at the hour Of going to
press with their first edition the chances
favor the success of Grant and Colfax in
New York and New Jersey by small
msjorities. The footing mp between the
Republican and Democratic counties
in the State of New York SO
clearly approximate each other on the
electoral ticket, ss now reported and
estimated, that we scarcely feel justified
in saying New York has gone for Grant,
though we have strong faith that the cor
rection of the figures yet to be made
will insure this result.
I'VE are greatly indebted and feel ip-
deed thankful to the Southern Pacific and
Atlantic Telegraph Company for spe-
cial dispatches of this morning.-ED-

New York, November 4.-The Herald
says Grant and Colfax have been chosen
by the people of the United States our
next President and Vice President. In
this city the day passed off with less
trouble than days gone BY. The ma
jority for Seymour is about fifty thou
sand, and that for Hoffman much larger.
In Brooklyn Seymour ia again distanced
by Hoffman, although the city goes Dem
ocratic. The vote in the State is close,
r the returns indicating great Republican
gains.
In Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire
and Indiana the Republicans gain on
their last msjoriiies. Connecticut is
claimed for the Republicans by 5000
majority, and Massachusetts, goes Repub-
lican by $1,000 majority, with Republi-
can msjority in the Legislature. Butler
is re. elected to Congress over Dana by
5000 majority. It is highly probable
that all the Northern States east Of the
Rocky mountains have gone for Grant,
with the exception, perhaps, Of New
York and New Jersey.
The Tribune says: Ulysses s. Grant
was yesterday chosen President, and
Schuyler ColfAx, Vice President Of the
United States, w the largest popular
majority ever given TO ssy candidate for
those exalted stations. The States known
to have chosen Electors to vote for them,
are as follows: Maine, I; New Hamp-
shire, S; Massachusetts, IL; Rhode
Island, 4; Connecticut, 6; Yer
