WASHINGTON, ID. c., November e.
The reception OF election news lust night
and tonight has not been cpualcd since
the celebrated Presidential election OF
1876. From the President down to the
ordinary layman in both parties there
was displayed feverish anxiety, and
there was in the early stages OF last
nights waiting feeling OF doubt and
apprehension displayed by both sides.
To-day, however, the politician has been
using his analytical mind 10 explain
cause and effect.
SECRETARY M'CRARY.
Thinks that upon Wade Hampton the
Democratic party can unload good
deal OF its disappointments. "One thing
is certain, said he, "and that is as the
South gradually solidifies and makes its
Congressional column solid Democrat
ic one, the tendency OF the North is to
solidify in the opposite direction
SECRETARY SHERMAN,
too, while he thinks that the financial
question---that is. the stand taken bv the
Western Democrats i'll the last Congress
i'll regard To resumption, did good deal
to help the Republicans make the gains
they have, shares the opinion of Secre-
tary McCrary, that the tendency Of the
Southern Democrats TO prescribe the
negro in his political rights was also Il
prime cause of the awakening amongthe
Republicans of the North.
"DO YOU think, Mr.. Secretary, that
the financial question will continue to
be the leading one in politics. asked
your correspondent.
Il do" he readily replied. 1T will
be Il question which will be agitated this
winter, and will be renewed in the Forty
sixth Congress" He says that before
the Forty-sixth Congress meets the re-
sumption of specie payments will have
been effected, but that he expects that
the warfare will next be upon the Ma
tional banks; and that, moreover, his
every movement after he attempts re-
sumption will be zealously watched, and
that there will always be CarpinG crit
les to miscOnstrue his motives.
THE PRESIDENT.
The star tonight says that, TO several
gentlemen who called on nm to-day,
the President expressed himself as much
gratified with the success OF the Re-
nublican marty i'm the elections. AS indi-
c,tad nv the returns SO far received.
He thought this showed how little the
infIationists and fiat money theories of
the Greenback and Democratic parties
have taken ON the minds of the people.

parties have met lifting reDuke.
,,,. ,,r,,oc,,rs
Take a good deal of iOy To themselves
that the majority in the Fortv-siXth
Congress is. al all events. as large as they
now hold in the Forthwith. The loss OF
the Legislature in Connecticut and the
defeat of Senator Barnum is, OF course,
aggravating. Jocosely, they say that the
Republican Congressional Committee,
having lost Chairman in Hale, the
Democrats have squared the account
with BarnuIn's defeat.
