NEW YORK.
THE EXCITEMENT DYING OUT.
NEW York, Nov. u.-Therc was less excite
mcnt in the streets this morning concerning tht
Presidential election. There were, as usual
crowds around the different bulletin boards, but
they were less eager, noisy, aud dcmonstrative
than on the previous days, the Democrats and
Republicans apparently having both made NJ
their minds not to halloo until they were quite
certain that they a-e out Of the woods"
The old rooms Of the Republican National
Committee ut the Fifth Avenue Hotel were
abandoned last night, as the lease Of them had
expired. The Committee are accupying another
room in the same building. Mr.. Clancy, the
Clerk Of the Committee, said that no new dis.
patches Ind been received.
The Post says tnat conference of prominent
Republicans at the Fifth Avenue Hotel last
evening, held to discuss the advisability OF
uniting with the Democratic Committee in 1c-
questing eminent citizens to 60 to Louisiana,
was dissolved without a result, on account OF
the report OF the news Of the Presidents
proclamation. In view of this, the proposed
measure was declared unnecessary.
At the Democratic Headquarters, in the Ey-
erett House, alfairs are quiet, though ripple
OF excitement was occasioned By the report Of
Conover's dispatch. Several visitors spoke
favorably Of Gen. Grants proclamation, saying
they saw nothing wrong in it if be meant what
he said. The report that VIM. NJ. Esarts had
started for the South was denied. Dispatches

GOOD ADVICE.
This mornings Herald adviscs the Democracy
to submit with good grace, aud says the country
will fiercely put down the threatened rebellion,
if attempted.
wHY THE STATE WENT DEMOCRATIC BY 30.000
Special Correspondence Qf The Tribune.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.--When / wrote you On
the 5th inst. that the blundcring incapacity Of
our State Committee wns most conspicuous,
had no idea that their laundering was going to
give this State to Tildcn by over $4,000. In
deed, on Monday night Mr. Cornell, the Chair
man of that Committee, who, if any one, should
have known something as to the condition Of
the canvass at that hour, assured his friends that
the State would give Hayes not less than 0,0oo
majority. The same ignorance that character
lied his conduct Of Mr.. Conkling's candidacy at
Cincinnati has marked his management Of the
canvass in this State. Disappointed in not re-
celVing the nomination for Governor, he sat
down on the State Committee, crushing out all
life and energy, and involving the party in over
whelming defeat. But Mr.. Cornell is not alone
to blame for the mismanagement Of tho State
canvass. Mr.. Conkling himself has been wet
blanket, not 80 much by reason OF what
he has doue as what he has not. Instead Of
taking an active part IN the canvass, be las re-
manned at home, pleading illness, and not rais-
ing hand to aid the cause. It has been his
boast for years that he held the State in his
hand, aud because Of such boasting he has been
accorded the entire Federal patronage of the
State with which to reward his favored hench-
men. These, taking their cue from their chief,
hare been almost wholly useless III the late fight;
doing what they were forced to do for appear
ance sake with a half heartedncss that was
worse than total apathy. Mr.. Conkling is jeal-
GUS Of Gov. Morgan, lest he should be cant1i-
date for the Senate in his place, while Cornell
was chagrined that Morgan beat him in the
State Conyention. This modification perVaded
the entire Custom-House gang, who "run the
for they tried their best to force
Cornell's nomination. As consequence, they
have lost no opportunity to speak slightingly OF
Morgan and incidentally of the party.
GRANT1sM RESPONSIBLE.
All this had great effect upon the result in
his State, but the true cause Of the terrible ]

hould nccessitatc the restoration of the DEMO
