The MA1Ls.-The Portland Bulletin OF
the 4th inst. says: "There have been
three mails already dispatched from
this city to the Dalless across the
country, but up to yesterday after Don
nothing had been heard of either OF
the two first. The ole dispatched last
was heard from at Rooster Rock, which
is about forty miles from this place.
He had reached that distance in two
days travelling. but there he found the
snow two feet and half deep, and his
horses legs had been cut to such an
extent by coming against the crust OF
the snow that the animal could hardly
travel" This will account for the alb
sence of the mails at Olympia.

which prevails in this administration.
b There isanother Investigation which
has gone through several phases and tie
action upon which has been held In

Vernon, a-gensleman Of unexceptionable
character was directed to make the in

excepted to on the ground of prejudice
Col. Ludaington was then specially ap-
pointed to conduct the investigation
and an attempt is being made to reverse
the verdict by impeaching the character
of the chief witnesses by the testimony
of official and party confederates. When
the testimony Of such men as Judge El-

WARRINGTON, November 8.-The Pres.
ldent said to-day that apart from the 20.
lltical issues involved, he was gratiaed
that the people had vindlcated his prl.
vate character, which had been assalled
during the canvass. That there will be
at least one change In the Cabinet at
the commencement Of the next Presidep-
tial term there Is no question. Secretary
Fish, by his own desire, will retire from

Judge Williams recently remarked
to a friend that although he could
have been elected Senator from Ore
gon, he declined being o candidate lin
order that he might remain in his present |
office. There is good reason for stating
that any remarks OF the Cabinet would
be mere speculation. It is too early to
anticipate the Presidents action in the

COMMENTS OF THE NEW YORK
PAPERS. sam r.r.

NEW York, November 6.-The Her.
alF SELECTION estimates give Grant twenty.
eight States and Greeley eight-or 26S
electoral votes for Grant to 80 for Greeley.
The popular majority for Grant Is placed
at $4,000. The Herald editorially says
that whether the result will be accounted
lor by the popular strength Of Gen. Grant
on the one hand, or the weakness of
Greeley and feeblencss Of the Liberal Re.
publicans, combined with q Democratic
bolt on the other hand, it is in many re-
spects the most remarkable of any Presi-
dental election in the history Of the
country.
The Tribune gives Grant 260 electoral
votes at the lowest, and SO for Greeley,
with the rest doubtful. "There is scarcely
a PARALLEL" 1t says rim the completeness
Of the rOut and triumph" It agrees that
Liberalism could not withstand the enor.
nous outlays Of money expended by Re
publlcans In the canvass. Grant now has
four years more Of power, with heavy
Congressional mejorities; and in whatever
reform he may seek to effect he will have
the aid OF the Tribune.
The World places Grants majority at
100000. 1t says the defeat is due to the
Democracy surrendering TO Greeley; that
the decentralization consequent upon the
New York ring peculation Of q year or
two ago disheartened the party and
caused the nomination at Baltimore.
That party had not recovered in time
from the Taulmany faint to do anything
until too late, . ..., ....
The Times gives Grant 300 electoral
votes, and Greeley only 43, with the bal.
ancG doubtful. l...
The Sun says the Liberal Republicans
have been faithful 10 their pledge, but the
Democrats have beaten Greeley by not
coming out to vote. T, .sli3ilf
The Tribune adds that the Liberal
movement was at one time favorable and
had prospects ol success, had not millions
been expended to arrest It's progress. The
Liberal Republican strength in North
Carolina, Vermont and Maine was nearly
neutralized by the Democrats who would
not eat crow when they could get from
five to twenty dollars each for not eating
it. There was nothing purchasable in
the Keystone State that was not bought.
The Tines says while 1t regrets the de.
feat OF Charles st. John In Orange Dis.
trlct, and John II. Kitchen in Duchess
District, we say that certainly having car.
ried six districts now represented by
Democrats, so that with Congressman
at large the next State Delegation will be
twenty.three Republicans TO ten Demo-
crats. AT present 1t Is fifteen to sixteen
Democrats. II calculates the Assembly
all the worst, at 20 Republicans 70 40
Democrats. 80

DETROIT, November 6.-The State has
gone by probably 10000 majority for
Grant. There Is scarcely doubt that all
OF the nine Congressman are Republican.
The Legislature Is Overwhelmingly Re.
publican in both branches. Wayne coun.
", in which this city Is situated, is as.
toundingly revolutIonized, the lowest
Republican majority on the State or
county ticket being 1000, and running
from that up 10 5000. This has been
hitherto an almost impregnable Demo.
cratic stronghold. The local county
tickets throughout the State are almost
universally Republican.
