FRIDAY MORNING, NOV. 10 1865.

In our last we gave the latest telegfalis
of the result Of the Presidential election In
this issue we have but to reiterate the state
ments Of those kilograms as eorroborated'
generally, by the official returns, which, as
far as received, indicate that Grant and Col
fax have been elected by very large major
itv Of the electoral vote. After the first re-
u,yts their election was generally conceded,
80 singularly did the vote in many OF the
Northern and Western States vary from the
result in their late elections The vote in
the Southern States surprised the Republi-
cans as much, perhaps, as did the result In
New York Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
ether States astonish the Democracy One
thing must be patent to them that the negro
vote can't be relied upon. This may serve
to open their eyes to the cnormities they have
committed to secure continued lease of
power through the eolored vote.
The Democracy, though beaten, have ac-
compiished much. They have reduced the
Republican majorities os 1864 very consld-
erably in nearly every State, and have gained
about Is Representative ia Congress, enough
at least to prerent the impeachment Of Grant
by the Republicans, which, should they con-
ainue their reckless legislation, they are like
lr to attempt before the expiration Of his
term.
What President Grant will do is the ques-
ton on all sides and promptly answered BY
meny. AS he has indicated no policy but
has been perfectly mum on all subjects. it
appears to us a mere matter Of guess work
There is however enc fact evident. The ex-
element of the contest over, the Republican
Journals are less violent and far more con-
sentative than We anticipated. This would
seem TO Indicate the dissatisfaction of the Re-
publican party with the continued disturbed
condition of the country. Then, az saen.
Grants only policy seems TO be the ''~M Of
The 3oeolac.'' it may very fairly be assumed
that his administration will have conscrya-
five tendency, and, as the Republicans Still
control both Houses of Congress. the clash
ing between them and the executive, which
tended to increase the azperities oelegislatlon,
is likely TO cease and more conservatism be
exhibited there also Since we could not seS
a Democratic President and a. Democratic
Congress we must Of necessity be content
with the election of Gen Grant and await
his acts to eelsure or 10 praise.
Ia the meanti:se. as the occasion for politi-
cal assemblies among the people dies away
with the presidential election. and labor is
likely to be more steady and reliable in the

It will for the restoration of that pccuniary
prosperity. which once characterized our be-
loved Southland. We hear Rfom Republi-
can sources, on all sides. that since the eEce-
tion Of Gen. Grant, money and immigration
will rapidly flow southwark, but VIC warn all
against too great reliance on this. If the in
