LONDON, Nov. 5.-Despatches from the New
York Associated Press Office, giving unusually
tuIl details OF the general election in the United
States, we're received here in a few hours after
the polls closed. The morning papers comment
variously on the election OF General Grant.
The Telegraph tLiberal), alter noting the lofty
character aud position OF Grant, says tnat the
defeat of the Democrats was richly deserved.
They should have accepted the results of the
war by nominating Judge Chase, and not Hora-
tIo Seymour, placeman, whose election would
have been a recantation of all done in the war.
The Daily News thinks the American people are
evidently weary of their last two years experience,
and demand strong government
The Morning Standard charges the Republican
party with the suppression of the freedom of voting
in several States, by the enfranchisement of hun
dreds of thousands of ignorant Blacks and the dis
franchisement of nearly all the southern people
This state of things, the Standard continues,
coupled with the fact that the Radicals held pos
session of the State governments, and had control
of the polling places with their notorious readi-
ness 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 although the Democrats
are beaten. and the representation in Congress Is
largely against them, they yet powerful party,
and must greatly influence the policy of the govern
ment. The success of Grant no one is supposed to
real devotion to his country, and services which
will live long in its remembrance. He is politI-
clan, and will take his Office with greater freedom
than it, instead of being the hero of hundred bat
ties, he had uttered all the shibboleths of party.
PARIS, Nov. 5.-An the journals of this city have
editorials on the result of the Presidential election
in America.
La Patrie says Grant is the man of the nation,
and not of party. He saved the Union, and will
restore it to its former standing among the great
Powers. Americans are everywhere enthusiastic
over the result, and Europe applauds the decision
of the republic. The election establishes order and
peace, the highest aim of the United States.
The Etendard regards the election as a continue
ton of the victory over the south. The mission of
Grant is dfieult. lie will find it necessary to op-
pose Congress. The affairs of the country require
strong and able hand TO repair the broken links of
liberty. Both continents have to be pleased
with the result. General Grant is worthy success
| sor of Washington.
The journal DeS DeJats and other Liberal jour
mails are satisfied with the result and call Grant the
| true successor of President Adams.
La Presse declares that the success of the Repub-
| lican party is triumph of central zation, and
thinks 1t singular that soldier should be elected
as the chief Of great Power while the nations of
Europe seek peace.
