ALEXANDRIA,. VA.
WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 6, 1872
Result Of the Election.

The Presidential election has resulted 10 the
choice of GEN. GRANT as Presid INT for four
years from the 4th of March next, and OF Henry
Wilson for Vice President for the same term.
The preliminary elections in the great States of
PENNSYLVANIA, Ohio and Indiana, had prepared
the public, in some measure, for this conclusion,
ard even lessened the feeling Of disappoint-
ment in the most sauguine friends of Mr..
Greeley.
Now that the effort Of the Conservatives and
Liberal Republicans, to effect a change, and
what they believed would be, reform IN the
administration OF the government, has failed,
and even in the midst of defeat, We take occa-
sion to say, that we believe that effort was a
noble and patriotic one, and that If successful,
il would have proved Of great benefit to the
country.
Possibly, another candidate would have done
better, bur we doubt it. There we're many
points in the public career, many opinions and
sentiments of Mr.. Greeley in the r"st, which
were evidently great drawbacks; but then, he
had many things in his favor, which were cal
culated to give him strength with the people.
1t turned out, however, it is admitted, that the
strength of the party, which originally proposed
him, was not as great as was expected, and
that there were more disSentients from the &C
ton of the Conservatives, in adopting the nom
ination than it was expected there would have
been.
We have no regrets for the course that was
taken: nor ought any honest, conscientious
men to have any, They did their best for an
honest purpose. Defeat for those who are not
looking to official patronage or government as
sistance, has no terrors. They will pursue the
even tenor of their way, after, just as they did,
before, the election. They have country to
serve and its true interests to support and
cherish, no matter who may be President.
They have Constitutional liberty, the just
rights of the States, the purity Of government,
economy, law and justice to uphold hereafter.
Their DUTY is the same now as ever lime
brings about its changes, sometimes for evil
oftentimes for good

The numerous experiments made in Europe
and in this country the last twenty years for
the utilization of coal dust, are said to have re-
suited successfully in the method Of NJ. Loiseau.
The Mauch Chunk Gazette says that, after a
recent examination of the results, the Lehlgh
Coal and Navigation Company authorized the
President, f. W. Clark, to apply this process
at the Nesquehoning works, and that machine
ry will at once be constructed, and this new
coal, made from waste anthracite. will be mark

The Philadelphia North American speaking
of certain Railroad abuses at the North,
and the management of several leading lines 10
that section of the country, says: There seems
to be absolutely no limit to the watering Of rail
road shares and the piling up of mountainous
debts. Millions upon millions Of dollars are
annually demanded in the shape of railroad
loans for companies that yet go on regularly
paying out dividends They borrow from
Peter to pay Paul. They declare the most
tempting sums in the shape of net earnings,
and instead ofsetting aside part for the in
crease of tracks, engines, cars, buildings, etc.,
and paying moderate dividends, they pay large
dividends to deceive their stockholders, and
keep up the market prices of shares and then
go on borrowing money to do the essential work
of extention and improvement.

The subject of RAILROADS, is agala exciting
attention in Mexico. There had been con-
troversy about the claims of rival parties who
had obtained concessions to build railroads and
upon the broad and narrow guage question.
The Vera Cruz Railroad it is said is nearly
completed, there being only two leagues of rails
to be Land. The New York Herald says:-A
good railroad system in Mexico, in connection
with the Texas border, the Southern Pacific
Railroad and the lateral railroads which are
being pushed along and though the mountain
ranges of our own territory to theMexican line,
will do more to develop the resources of Mexico
than anything else.

STUART's WHARF, KING GEORGE Co.,
Va, Nov. 4.-The body Of a white man was
hoated ashore by the tide last week, near this
place, which | supposed to be that either Of a
sailor or fisherman, who was probably drowned
in the river. From the appearance of the
corpse I infer that he had been dead for some
time. The face had been so much eaten away
that recognition was impossible. He was evi-
IDENTIFY young; broad across the shoulders; stout
full chest, and splendid set Of teeth, one of
which, on the right side Of the mouth, had
been lost. He had on stout drawers: blue
WOODEN pants; check shirt, and good pair Of
leather boots with tap-soles on them. and but
little worn.
An inquest was held and the usual verdict
rendered in accordance with the facts stated.
The corpse was buried at high-water mark.
