New YORK, Nov. 6.-Thc Herald election
estimates give to Grant . States, and to Gree
lev S; or, 2GS electoral votes for Grant, and %
for Greeley.
The popular majority for Grant is placed at
100000
The Herald editorially says that whether the
result will be accounted for by the popular
strength of Gen. Grant Oh the one hand, or the
weakness of Greeley and the feebleness Of the
Liberal Republicans combined with the Demo.
Gratis both, on the other hand. it is in many re-
spects the most remarkable Presidential cleo
in the history of the country.
The Tribune gives Grant 232 electoral votes,
at the lowest, and IS for Greeley, with the rest
doubtful There is scarcely parallel, it says,
in the completeness Of the rout and the tri.
umph.
The World estimates the Assembly at seven
ty-eight Democrats and seventy six Rcpubl-
cans.
The Apolorites early dispersed from their
hall last night, Oh hearing of the defeat OF their
candidate
Altogether, the election night was the most
peaceful of any heretofore known in this city.
Returns thus far received from Brooklyn
give Greeley 35, 4O7, Grant 81 ,429.
Schumacher, Democrat, is elected to Congress
from the second district and Stewart L. Wood
ford and P. H. Crooke, Republicans, in the
third and fourth.
The Democrats elect six out of nine Assem-
blymen and the city ticket.
The Assembly in the State will probably
stand A Democrats to ST Republicans. The
Senate is Republican, holding over from last
year.
The vote on the general ticket in the city and
county fell short of the registration Is. ia The
Republican vote is 1872 more than it vas year
ago.
Kernan majority in this city will be prob
ably 80, O00 but he will not have enough over
his ticket in the State to defeat Dix.
SARATOGA, Nov. 6.-Saratoga county gives
Horton, (Democrat) for Congress majority.
Schenectady county gives Horton POO ma
jority and Fulton county gives him $50 majorl-
ty. His election is certain.
Grants majority liz Saratoga county is about
1000.
OGDENsBURGH, NY, Nov G.-St Lawrence
township (complete), gives Grant Oslo ma
jority.
The World places Grants popular majority
at 100000 1t says the defeat OF the Demo
cracy is due to their surrendering to Greeley;
that the decentralization consequent upon the
New York ring peculation OF year or two ago
disheartened the party and caused the nouIina-
ton at Baltimore, and that the party had not
recovered in time from the Tammany faint to
do anything until too late.
The Times gives Grant 800 electoral votes,
and Greeley only 49, with the rest doubtful.
The Times editorially says that while it re-
erets the defeat for Congress of Chas. St John
in the Orange district and John II. ketchum
in the Dutchess district, there Is yet certain
ty of the Republicans having carried districts
now represented by Democrats so that with the
Congressman at large, the next State dc!ega-
ton will be % Republicans to 10 Democrats
whereas at present it consists Of Is Repub-
cans and l6 Democrats.
It calculates that the Assembly will, the
worst,-be composed Of 10 Republicans to ~
Democrats
New YORK, Nov. 6.-All but three of the
,...;on d;striotc have heen heard from on the
Mayoralty vote of this city, and give Havemey-
er, (Rep.) 5l,959 Lawrence (Tammany)
