Gen. Sherman on the Election.
New YORK, Nov. 9.-Gen. Sherman is re-
ported as saying last night in regard to the un-
certainty concerning the election, that the pres
ent condition of AFFAIRS is calculated to excite
some solictude; but no matter whether it ter
inmates in the election of Hayes or of Tilden,-
the election has gone off quietly and without
any violence or disorder, which is very gratify-
ing as well as fattering to the American peo-
pie. Any one, in either party, who would think
of resorting to force or resistance by arms should
be set down as traitor to his country.
