TELEGRAPHIC NEWS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD. Comments of the English Press on the American Election. STORM IN THE CHANNEL, \ Napoleon Favoring Don Carlos for the Spanish Throne. ‘THE INSURRECTION IN CUBA. ‘Continued Suecess of the Na- tional Troops. ENGLAND. Comments of the English Press on the Ameri- can Election. LONDON, Nov. 5, 1868. Despatohes from the New York Associated Press | fess giving unusually full details of the result of the neral election in the United States, were received re in a few hours after the polls were closed. 4 The morning papers comment variously on the sMgction of General Grant. 2 The Zelegraph, a liberal journal, after noting the lofty character and position of General Grant, says ‘Shat the defeat of the democracy was richly de- Perved. They should have accepted the results of $ho war by nominating Judge Chase and not Horatio Seymour, a peace man, whose election would have ‘Yeen a recantation of all done in the war. ‘ The Daily News thinks the American people are @vidently weary of their last two years’ experience, * @nd demand a strong government. * The Morning Standard charges the republican farty with the suppression of the freedom of voting an several States, the enfranchisement of hundreds jof thousands of ignorant blacks, the disfranchise- ment of nearly all the Southern people. “This state ‘of things,” the Standara continues, “coupled with Nhe fact that the radicals held posseasion of the State vernments and had control of the polling booths, With thetr notorious readiness to abuse this power, made the democrats fight at a terrible disadvantage. ®ut had the democratic party nominated Chase or MoCletlan, instead of two second rate politicians, tt {might have succeeded in the election.’ Times holds that though the democrats aro péaten and the representation in Congress is largely against them, they are yet a powerful party and Ynust greatly influence the policy of the governinent. . Mhe success of General Grant no one is disposed to fegret. He has fairly won his high rank by hard ‘work, real devotion to his country and services ‘which will live long in its remembrances. He is no Politician, and will take his office with greater free- Aom than if, the hero of hundred battles, he nad Pa Bitered all the Shibboleths of party.

The month'y statementof the public debt, it was announced to-day, will certainly be published to- morrow, The result, it is said, will be much more favorable than was shown by the estimate given out & few days ago, which stated that there would be about the same reduction of the debt this month a8 there was last month. The belief seems to be now that the debt will show a reduction of between four and five millions. ‘The Reserve Fund of the Treasury. By the fourth section of an act of June 30, 1864, the Secretary of the Treasury was authorized to receive temporary deposits or loans to the United States to the extent of $150,000,000, for not less than thirty days, atsix per cent interest, and to meet sudden calls he waa authorized to keep a reserve of $60,000,000 of legal tender notes. These deposits and loans having been paid the Secretary has no reserve which he can use for any purpose whatever except ing the small remaining sum of less than a third of a million, This latter fact is stated because a contrary opinion has heretofore prevailed. Preparations by the Boys in Blue for the Reception of General Grant. Delegates from the various repubiican associa- tions met this evening at the republican headquar- ters to take measures for the reception of General Grant on his return to Washington.

The force is commanded by Major Gen- eral A, Grant, and consists of a pioneer corps, a battery of artillery, three regiments of cavalry and nine regiments of infantry, each regimen! averaging 500 men. The battery of artillory, the cavalry brigade and two regiments of infantry are composed of white men, and the remaining seveu regiments of infantry ure colored, Three or four regiments of Boys in Blue are expected from Baltimore and other cities to join in the reception, and it is expected that the demonstration will be a inaguificent display.

The state- ment that McCulloch himself is likely to come to grief at last is not generally credited, but there are many who declare that the thing ts certainly to bo done by President Johnson, who has made a thorough investigation and has resolved to spare no oficial, high or low, if found mixed up with the whiskey and other plunderers of the Treasury, It is alleged that the affidavits gathered by Judge Fullerton and laid before the President not many days ago disclose a degree of oficial corruption of the most astounding character, and implicate some of the highest oMciais by proots that can neither be sneered nor laughed at by district attorncys or judges, nor manceuvred out of court by the cunning strategic movements of members of the whiskey ring.

WALL STREET ATER TH! ELNCTION. That ‘‘the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft aglec” was never more truly written of any time or place than it is of Wall street just now. dential election was an event on which hinged the jortunes of thousands who make that locality the scene of thelr straggle and strife for this world’s goods. For & month beforehand it was “discounted,” to use the expression famtiuar to financial Ips, and millions were sinked upon the result. How sadly ihey reckoned upon the developments of the future many @ speculator’s pocket empty will tell. Fortane-making in Wal! strect is one of the most popular enterprises of the hour, It is bred of the reports, which h only too willingly listening ears, of vast Weaith suddenly accumulated by some lucky speculator who went down there with a thousand dollars and converted them into a hun- dived times a& many within a year, The fact 1s lost sight of that for tue one who is thus successful and trumpets his luck to the world there are ninety-nine who lose ail and hide their misfortune in con- cealment. Wall street 18 not a place where sadustry makes wealtii or where lavor adds to capital, The amount of wealth remains the same from time to time, and he who plucks riches from ita midst does so atthe ruin oi his neighbor, ‘The Eriy Railway is worth no more to- day than it Was a year ago, except by 80 much as its tramc has increased, and this, even on the best ot roads and routes, seldom permits an annual divi- dend of more than ten per cent, Yet a successful specuiator, by “turning” a anitlion of Erie stock seve- ral Limes @ year, may Make @nother miilion, It there- fore follows that his gain 1s somebody else's loss; for it does not arise from any legitimate earning of the company. Tue methods of speculation in Wall street are many and curious. A man with $1,000 goes there, de- posits the sum with @ broker and requests its tuvest- ment in some stock, We will say St. Paul, for il- lustration. The broker puts $9,000 with his custom- er’s deposit, or “margin,” ag it is technically denom nated, and purchases $10,000 worth oi the stock, It is at once seen that for every one per cent rise in value the customer makes $100 and for every decline of one per cent he loses in the same proportion. The broker is guaranteed against loss by the “margin” of $1,000. When this this ts unpaired to the extent of fifty per cent he calls for anew “margin.” If bis customer is unable to make the advanco demanded, the broker, to save his own $9,000, is compelled to throw the whole upon the market and sel! for what he can get, giving his cu-tomer the residue after de- ducting his own money and his commission, ‘This fs the general meihod of speculation; but tt is varie tu a dozen differ. mn: ways to suit (he specula- tor’s ideas of Money-making. A month ago the “outside public,” as Wall street styles those who go down tiere to deal Wd margins, as Well as the stock-gambling commtnity in general, began laying their plans for a vast rise in stocks ag the sequence of Goncral Grant's election. The event was “discounted” at once. ‘The “bulls’? tossed m4 stocks and everybody rusiied in and purchased will the expectation tha’ the election was going to send them stil higher. ‘The “buils’” made foriunes and then “anloaded’’—that is, they threw large quantities of stock on the market, realized and sent prices down again only to purchase at the de- cline, hold off the stock to make tt scarce and so send it up once more. This process they repeated ssveral times with immense pecuniary success, ie “outside public” thougit a splendid opportunity was 30 aforded them for making money; #o they pur- 1ased at any price, and when figures 'were at taeir highest bought in and iatd away great “blocks,” pecting to sellout st great proit when the of Grant should send everything up to fabulous prices, Millis of dollars were thus invested on margina, and the result was impatiently awaiied, Meautime the “bears,” those sworh enemies of the “bulls,” hatchgd a plo} for the discomfiture of their ova on.4. ‘The buoyancy of the stock market Wag #0lCly due to the abundance of mohey.

Two atiempts With this object in view were wusuceessfal, Bat rseverauce, it is sald, will work wonders, The “beara”? made'a vast combination, ‘They got together from ten to twenty miidons of dollars’ Worth of securities, and, With thesd as collateral, witadrew nearly as inany millions of dollars from the banks, an’, of course, from circula- tou.

Those who had the means of advauciag new “marging’ did so with the expectation that the election was the turning poin' snd that they would tinally gain.

Dickinson delivered a lecture in the Cooper Institute for the benefit of the Work- ing Women’s Association. Her subject was “A Strug- gle for Life.” The hall was filled to repletion by an | intelligent and cultivated audience. Previous to the | Dead,” After the song Mrs. Davis, a member of the association, read a platform of principles which was adopted by the working women at a mect- ing held on the 26th of October. In consequence of the avariclousness of employers working women were unjustly oppressed, hence the firct plank in the piat- form was associated action. They believed in the dignity of labor, and suggested that hereafter spectal attention should be given by working women to per- fecting themselves in the branches of business which they had severally adopted. The advantages of social interchange and of union were portrayed, and the association solicited aid in the way of thought and whatever agencies might help the movement. Miss SUSAN B. ANTHONY, the president of tho asso- ciation, came forward and said that Miss Dickinson came on from Philade|phia by a late train and asked the indulgence of the audience for a few moments, Miss Anthony went on to speak of the cbjects of tim association and thanked Peter Cooper and others for services rendered ia behalf of this woman’s righis, This lapsus | nga occasioned uproarious laughter.

Any man should tremble to win the hand of a woman unless he possessed the utmost devotion of her heart. She dwell ngleeeed ‘upon the unhappiness occa- sioned by ill-assorted marriages, and satd that in consequence of the tyranny of American soo.al life many @ virtuous girl was sent out into the streets arrayed in purple and fine lincn. There were myriads of women who might have becn physicians, lawyers, merchants, architects, or rm er ng Which their bro- thers could be who bad received the same training.

Anna said @ good many sharp things in treating of this part of her subject and in answering some men, who said, “Let these women go into the kitchen,” ob- served that cooking and housecleaning did not come by inspiration, She argued that women ought ‘to have the right to select the work for whith she was best qualified, and if she was capable of earning five hundred dollars a week ought to receive it ag readily as the female received ber two dollars. She met a clerk in one of the government offices in Washington the other day and told him that he and his associates ought to be sent West and their places given to women. Jn hing terms she denounced medical men who re- fused admission to women who desired to acquire a medical education or wished to follow the profession of law or @ mercantile calling. It was not the black- ness of work that was to soil the whiteness of womanhood in the estimation of society, but it was the yellown’s3 c{{gold or the ness of greenbacks She brought accusations agaist the injustice of pay- ing male clerks in Washington eighteen hundred dol- lars ae annum when the female clerks who worked beside them only received nine hundred for doing the same work. She repelie@ with indignation the rumor started that the women in the government offices at the capital were corrupt, and sald that the porsons who vet that ramor afoat either conceded That purity was not native to woman or that she had reach | the most abject depths of destitution if they thought ghe would sell herself, body and soul, for | nine hundred dollars a year.
