CoxpITIoN oF SPECIAL AGENT CoMsTOCK.— The condition of Mr. Anthony Comstock, who was severely wounded in the face by a des- perado on Saturday evening, was reported to more favorable yesterday. He is now con- fined to hie residence in Grand avenue, Brook- lyn, and attended by physicians. He has suf- fered considerably from loss of blood, but his condition ia not critical.

Look out about this time, as the almanacs say, for newspaper comments on the elections. The telegrams elsewhere give seme signs of what may be expected in this way. Our city pspers have something to say this morning, The Chronicle is not effusive, but thinks the telegrams ‘justify the conclusion that the House of Representativée of the 44th Congress will be democratic. Probably a majority of the states will be represented by democratic delegations in that body, rendering it necessary tor the Tepublicans to elect the next President by the popular vote, or permit the national govermpment to go into the hands of the democracy after the 4th of March, 1577." The Republican deals with the matter double- leadedly and also in singleleads, and comes to the conclusion that, “however the Ns vember elections may have gone, however they may bave affected the next Congress, it is not denied by any one that the republican party bas sti/l the majority of the country, and that if it shall be led as it ought to be led, its victories in the future will surpass any that it has won in the past. Inthe defeats which we feat we bave met, we see the omen of fature victory. The republican party is stitl the party of the country, and it cannot be « feated, and the Republic lives.” ‘The Baltimore American takes the occasion to get even with ex- Postmaster General Creswell, and says: «There never has been in the history of politi- cal parties in this country a case of more unmis- takable and persistent suicide than that which was consummated yesterday. For two years the whole power of the administration has been ex- erted to wrest from the hands of the republican party their state organizations, and to pack cenyentions and make nominations at the bidding of the office-holding cliues who were give control of the séveral states. Here in Maryland two years ago there was an enth Siastic and growing republican party, with every prospect before itof carrying @ majority of the legisiatare, when evil advice at Wash ington overturned the whole party organization, and drove out of its communion the great ma Sage of the men of influence and character m the state. The republican party was killed to enable Postmaster General Creswell to build upon its ruins a ‘Creswell party,” which was to make no nominations without his consent aud approval; to adopt resolutions of confidence in him at all their primary meetings and con- ventions, and bespatter with praise the great author of their existence. The contro! and management and direction of everything per- taining to political affairs were given to the exclusive charge ef officeholders, so far as Baltimore was concorned, and those from tle counties were expected to contro! and inflaence their local organizations. There was to be a Grant party, but no republican party, and hence Lol sero deplorable condition of affairs in this state. There is reason to believe that the same feeling bas been organized in other states. Almost everywhere, even in Massachusetts. party management has become the mere dictum of officeholders, who follow instructions fron Washington, and thousands of the beet and most active and influential men have stood off in dis fat: and thought it beat to allow the harvest of ad management to be fally reaped before the Spproach of another Presidential election. ‘The result in Maryland seems to be that Mr. Creswell, having accomplished all this disorgan- ization, las quietly dropped out of the Cabinet and lefthis officeholders in confasion and di: may, apparently taking no further {interest in their fortunes and misfortunes. All we can say ig that ‘it isnot our funeral,’ The Baltimore Sun notes ‘a general current of sentiment exhibited agaiust the dominant power,” and says: “Even the negroes of the South pe ed to have begun to realize that they are entitled in fact to their political freedom as well as their mere — liberty; that both are accom- plished facts, and that they can look aroun them as any white man may, and vote for whom they please. Large numbers of colored men in Louisiana, Alabama and elsewhere yesterday voted the conservative ticket openly.” Marshal Packard gave anticipation of detest in Loutel- ana when he sent dispatches to Washington from New Orleans complaining that ‘intimi- dation” had heavily reduced the republican vote, in the verv face of the fact that he has had the army and navy at his back for more than a month past to prevent just such a re- sult—to use them, on the contrary, to intimidate the conservatives. When poliiical parties in the South are divided without reference to color there will be some hope for reform and for the administration of state government with refer- ence to the general good.” The New York Hera: daughter,” says: “The third term is buried forever. Grant has two Peed vefore bim in which to re- trieve many of the mistakes which have brought discomfture upon his administration and defeat upon his party. Let him take this lesson in its highest sense, and remember what he owes to om por name, bis fame, and the place he would hold iu history. His career as a political leader is closed, but there remains to him a personal career which he can vindicate and confirm by two years of good government, reform and de votion to the highest and truest principles of administration.” . ——____.~ee--____ ‘Tus Rient or StupENTs To Vorz tx Cot- Lz@8 Towns.—Hon.

THE RESULT DOUBTFUL. ‘The returns trom Missouri are very meager, and do not indicate the result. The democrats, however, claim all the Congressional districts except the 6th and 10th.
