THO Gront National Victery—The Ro sponsibility of General Grant and the Repablican Party. The victory that has. just beem,won by the republican party under the leadership of Gen- eral Grant isthe most brilliant and decisive triumph on record in the history of the United States. Never before has a Prosidential clec- tion been 80 hotly contested by the politicians, and never before has so great an amount of personal vindictiveness entered into a, politi- eal campaign! If the lines had been drawn as usual between the parties;naturally antago- nistic—between the republicans who opposed slavery before the war, and who prosecuted the war until slavery was abolished; and the democrats who upheld slavery before the re- bellion, and who sympathized with tho slave, holders down -to the: hour of their final over- throw—the fight might have been severe erough. But tho treason in the republican camp and*theé alliance of-the traitors with their life-long opponents for the avowed pur- pose of degtroying the organization they had deserted, imparted an unparalleled bitterness to the struggle, and seemedto render the result at best exceedingly doubtful. When we find an enemy thus desperate and dangérous so utterly routed. as were the liberal-democratio coali- tionists on Tuesday last, we must look else- where than to the ordinary chances of war forthe explanation of the result. We find it in the fact that the conquerors in the political arena are the same who, a few years ago, led the national arms to victory on the field of battle. We find it in the fact that General Grant was the succossfal commander of the Union Army in the war of the rebellion, and that the republican party is the party which carried. the country safely through the perils of that struggle for national existence. While the politicians were plotting and manoeuvring ; while this line of policy was adopted to win the negro vote and that line to conciliate the white vote; while all the small tricks of po- litical jugglers were practised to gain a sup- posed advantage in this or that direction, the people of the United States were thinking of Lincoln, Seward and Stanton—ot Vicksburg, the Wilderness and Appomattox—of the days when the bulletins wera eagerly scanned for news of our - boys in blue; when the tears of wives and mothers blotted the lists of our fallen soldiers, and when the glad shouts of multitudes told of the final surrender of Lee and his gallant but misguided army. The votes that were cast for General, Grant on Tuesday last were the tribute of Americans to the military hero who had led the national arms to victory, and to the party under whose political rule the war of thé rebellion had been carried to a suc- cessful termination. . There were objections to the peace policy of the republican Congress; there were heartburnings and indignation ‘at the reconstruction measures of the majority, at the unworthy truckling to a degraded, negro vote, at many of the acts of the administration. There was an honest opposition to a coalition for the spoils at the sacrifice of principle and consistency. But while these had their effect more or less on the result, the great incentive of the overwhelming popular uprising was the memory of the battle fields of the rebellion and of the soldier who had gathered from them many a wreath of glory for the Union arms. Some seventy years ago, when the great Napoleon returned to Paris with the laurels of Marengo and the Austrian battles fresh on his brow, the Frenchmen enthusiastically capped them with the imperial crown, France was not then mature enough in republican idens to appreciate a more popular form of govern- ment, but, resolved to do the highest honor pos- sible to her successful soldier, bestowed upon him the dignity of Emperor. There was then a political strife in the nation and the’ direc- | torial government did its best to raise political | issues and to stem the rushing tide. But the | people sawbefore them only the conqueror of | Italy and ignored all other considerations but | that of national glory. In the course of his | brilliant career Napoleon the First made many | mistakes and met many disasters before he | was finally driven from power by the combined | strength of the rest of Europe; yet for half a | centary his name was honored by his country- } men and the rémembrance of his military fame hallowed many a subsequent) revolution and rendered the success of Louis Napoleon | possible. There are innumerable other in- stances written on the pages of history to prove that the successful soldier is the idol of the people, and that his military services are generally ample to cover a multitade of politi- cal sins, Weare not prepared to approve or condemn this hero worship. We find in it | the explanation of the sweeping vic- | tory just won by General Grant and his political friends, and it teaches us that the opposition in the recent election were fatally mistaken in supposing that the | country was prepared to forget the war of the rebellion and to replace the soldiers of eight years.ago by civilians who. stood aloof from, if they did not oppose, the war. But the | successful party must not conclude from this | result that the people desire to keep alive the bitter memories of our civil strife. They love and admire the heroes of the battle | field. They would to-day, we believe, } rather vote for a brave Southern | for such a candidate as Francis Kernan. They honor the Union soldier for his gallantry, and are won by his military renown; but they ough reconciliation to his former antagonists, and they believe that the cause of peace is safest in his keeping. Under these cireum- own popularity as a soldier has given him the | splendid political victory he has just achieved; | that the people honor and trust him for him- | self alone and for the services he has person- | ally rendered to his country, and that he is thus especially bound to study and respect the popular sentiment in the fuiure policy of his administration, No President has ever entered office with more promising opportunities for a brilliant career than will President Grant on the 4th of next March, He will have at his back over | two-thirds of both Houses of Congress and the governments of nearly all the States of the U . In the great city of New York his friends will hold possession of, the local government, as they will also in | Philadelphia and nearly every other city of importance all over the country, East and West. The Empire State and the Keystone State are both in po- {litical agegnd. ith ia aguainistrabiod. and the | general who had carried arms against us than | | stances General Grant must know that his | Political power of his party extends over all seotions—over the New England manufactur- ing States, the Western States, the Milo States and the Southern States. Every interest of the county has thus given him its endorsement, and he is in reality the President ‘ofthe whole nation and not of any portion ‘alone, ‘President Lincoln was voted for os a garded as an act of hostility towards the slave-holding States. In his first term Gen- eral Grant represented only a portion of the States of the Union, Now, however, with every, State, voting, and with every citizen, black and white, enfranchised, he is the choice ofall parte of the nation and of all classes of people. From the ox-robels of the South, as well ag from those who stood side. by,.side with him on the field of battle he has received'tho support which has ‘made him almost’ the unanimous'choice of the Amétican people for their Chief Magistrate. He stands free from all ties and obligations, at liberty to mark out and follow his own policy. He is under no party restraints, for the country has elected Grant, the soldier, and not Grant, the politician. He has not been sup- ported especially by the protectionists or the free traders; by the manufacturer or by the consumer; by the white man or ‘the negro; ‘ by the North or tho South; but by all interests altke, and hence he is bound in honor to regard all interests alike and to make him- self in reality the people's President. What grander career can open itself before the Chief Magistrate of the United States? His politi- cal predecessors have necessarily been more or less hampered by party affiliations and party principles. They have had now to foster whig interests; now to advance democratic interests; now to build up republican interests; now to study the exactions of slavery, and now to uphold the demands of freedom. General Grant will enter upon his new term of office with no whig, democratic or republican party in exist- ence, so far, at least, as conflicting principles are concerned; with all old issues dead; with the liberated slave enfranchised ; with the nation at: peace; with every State restored to its position in the Union. He will find his resotirces enormous, for the country will increase in prosperity from the very influence of his unexampled success. Our credit will be established abroad more firmly than ever through the happy termination of the negotiations with England, as well as through the unanimity of the popu- lar verdict in the clection. ‘Wealth will flow into the nation; the tide of immigration will continue unbroken, and the harmony of the State governments with the national ad- ministration will add strength and solidity to the whole fabric of government. It will be for General Grant to avail him- self of all these unparalleled advantages, to advance the prosperity of the nation, to add new lustre to the American name abroad, and towin for himself a fame among the Presi- dents of the Republic second only to that of the immortal Washington. His position is too proud to suffer him to fritter away his strength in political intrigne and side issues. Whatever line of conduct he may resolve to pursue in regard to his appointments should be followed out with a determination and firm- ness that will hold the political harpies in check, ‘and show them that all their intrigues cannot budge him by the breadth of a hair from his decision. The popular sentiment we know demands a complete change in the Cabinet, and we regard its re-formation a duty which the President owes to the people. A com- plete reconciliation between the sections, a policy that will teach the Southern negro that his interest is to live in peace and good fel- lowship with his white neighbors, a firm attitude in all our foreign policy, and especially in regard to’ Mexico | and Cuba; a firm Indian policy, a broad and | liberal encouragement of our shipping in- terests, a real reform in our civil service, a system of taxation that shall be the most equal and the least oppressive—these are the | principles the people’s President should lay down as the chart of his new administration. With these faithfully carried out General Grant will promote the prosperity of the Amer- ican people, advance the nation toa higher position than it has ever before occupied, and impress upon the monarchies of Europe a | sense of the stability and strength of the Re- public. Cuorera ty Drespuy.—A Henratp special telegram, dated in Dresden and forwarded from London by cable, announces the appear- ance of cholera in the Saxon capital, with fatal consequences following its advent. The dis- | ease had been more or less severe during & few days previous to Sunday, the 3d inst. Six cases had been treated by the physicians to the morning of that day, and of these three were fatal to the lives of the patients. Two of the deceased were Americans, one a child, the other a young lady. The first cage in which the existence of the complaint was made seri- ously manifest came from Pesth, at which point, as we have already stated in our col- | umns, cholera of a type more or less severe | has prevailed, and been aggravated by local } influencing causes, for months. The officers attached to the Sanitary Bureau of the Dres- den police report that the disease is cholera morbus, not Asiatic cholera. This distinction is of great importance and reassuring to the comraunity at large, despite the regret which all must feel at the sudden affliction which hag fallen on the visiting American families in Dresden. Canprvats’ Hats Vacayt rs tae Vartcan.— By cable telegram from Nice we are informed that His Eminence Cardinal Luigi Amat, Vice Chancellor of the Holy Roman Church, died in the Northern Italian city on the 7th instant, | He was seventy-six years of age; a man of piety, learning and zeal. The event of his | demise leaves twenty-cight scarlet hats vacant | in the conclave of the Vatican, the twenty- seventh having been rendered so by the de- cease of Cardinal Angelo Quaglia in the month of Angust last. His Holiness Pope Pius IX. has thus an unusual amount of Pontifical pat- ronage in his gift. His exercise of the oppor- tunity for hierarchical ‘creation yill have a very decided effect, not only on the question of the suceession to the tiara, but on the religious feeling of the peoples and Church influences all over the Christian world. Tue Loss or THe StzaMER Missovnt is once more brought painfully to memory through the statements of the survivors of the awful dis- | 8 collection. of statements of the passengers as well as the affidavits of others taken before the American Consul at Havana. Where 0 many lives and so much propérty were’ lost it will be a duty to the travelling community to place the blame, sternly whore it belongs, The Return of Leading Journals to; Journalism. Three of tho leading dailies of this city are now among the “onts’’—that is, they aro in the proud position which the Herap has heli for twenty-five years, When Robinson,Crusoe succeeded, after a desperate struggle with the watery clement, in reaching dry land, his-first concern doubtless was to’dry his garmenta and next to decide on a course, of action. Hs could, in, fact, gravely. consider the. latter while his clothes were airing on a rock.» This not very. enviable’ position is just’ where a number of leading journalists of the late liberal coalition find thomsclyes after coming, out from under the ‘‘tidal wave'’ which took them unawares from: behind. The ‘Tribune, the World and the Sun are each perched on their particular rocks, ‘looking at the wreck of their ship as it bobs up.and down upon the waters before breaking to. pieces, and each philoso- phizes good naturedly on what lies before it. They have learned a lesson which will warn them in future of a reliance on such recondite things as tidal waves and -will settle down to their newspaper lives with @ greater estimate of the people and a smaller opinion of mere partisan journalism than ever before. In other words, the Tribune, with Horace Greeley once more at its head, becomes an independent journal; the World, with Manton Marble again directing it, strikes out more freely than ever, and the Sun, which has called itself independent hitherto, will become 80 in reality. The, World, like Sinbad the Sailor, has been carrying an Old Man of the Sea who has been choking the democratic life out of it. The “tidal wave’? knocked Mr. Greeley off, and the World is too happy at losing him’ to say one word against his conduct while on its back. The honest old man himself is no less pleased at the change, and well he maybe. With a broad smile on his youthful old face he takes up the pen, “which he relinquished on em- barking in another line of business six months ago,” and promises never to play Old Man of the Sea any more. He is going to make a thoroughly independent journal, abandoning all other “lines of business,’’ and that is a better and braver thing than being ‘‘a can- didate for any office.” The Sun declares its preference for principle to victory, and that is the true secret which lies at the bottom of independent journalism, On the other hand, it'is curious to” observe that the only leading daily in New York among tho “ins” is an English journal pub- lished in this city. Never before in the history of the ‘partisan’ press has a single paper gathered to itself such an array of political means. No ‘“‘organ’’ in the palmy pap days of the Albany Regency or the reign of the later ing’’ ever approached it. The Oustom House lies under its feet, with a wealth of snug places and other comforts. It has the Governor in one pocket and both branches of the Logis- lature in another. The Mayor of New. York pesps out of one of its coat tails. At least one United States Senator runs his hyacinthine locks out of the other. It has Congressmen pinned to itself all over its imported garments. It gathers pap into itself ‘and swaggers, and every officesecker of the tens of thousands who expect something shivers when it rolls its eyes. This is a pretty picture, and, Provi- dence be thanked, has not ‘a duplicate in all the Union. ‘Let its proprietors, however, take a timely warning. It has fine pros- pects: in fact ‘that’ may be its princi- pal danger. With all these ‘rulers’” in its possession it will iid making money ter- ribly easy. The awful conviction will force itself upon it that it can gorge itself on pap without fear of a stoppage of the supply. This is 9 maddening thought to a man or a journal’ untroubled with scruples. It may, however, fill itself with pap too fast, and some day all the independent papers will be tum- bling it and its protégés into the Slough of Despond. It will become so bloated if this process be long delayed that at length it will only need a pin-prick to let out its corruption. When the Tribune, the World and the Sun look upon this sketch they will be consoled that | they are spared from being ‘administration organs’’ as things go now. If Greeley were elected they would have become bloated and arrogant too; so they and the public should congratulate themselves that the Jewel of inde- port ai is plucked from the brow of their apparent adversity, The path of superiority to mere party, in which the Hzratp has walked almost alone in America, is fast being marked as the only one in which journalism can permanently prosper. It is the difference between addressing, that is being read by, the whole people instead of a section, At every step taken in this path alternate applause and howlings are heard from thick-and-thin politicians and sink-or- swim party papers. This is nothing. The entire course of the best party the world ever saw could not be worthy the commendation of | an enlightened and honest journal. The party | journal is and must be dishonest on many | points. When it is not a special pleader for its party's aims it is a whitewasher of its party's errors, faults or crimes. Another thing which stands in the way of its success as @ newspaper is that, in being an organ, it is nothing else. It neglects its news; it lacks all enterprise in any direction outside of sectring slips be- forehand of its party leader’s speeches aud printing them to the exclusion of the interesting matters which occupy the rest of the world. It could not send a correspondent to Africa or Cuba, because ‘the party’ has no affiliation there; it could not spend its re- sources on learning the welfare or progress of Egypt, because the modern Egyptians do not vote ‘‘the straight ticket,”’ It gauges everything through party spectacles, and never, there- fore, sees itself or the world in true colors, With the swelling numbers of the independent press we expect to see this old style journal more and more recede into the past. It is the pride of the Heranp to have led the van of newspaper independence and enterprise on this Continent, and, with the encouragement we gain from the new departure utterances in the journals we have named, we expect soon to be able to sny that the American journalism stands at the head of tho proas of the civilized antec KR. MaRAKe om, Whe Mazzeo Coutle at tig | wonlde port yesterday, In another column willbefound | The Hersid Eistablishmont—Pregress and Its Mechanical Demands—Quce- awe ef Ohange ef Site and Se On. Watts ab are left, for a time at least, to look around us, we may be excused } for ® little business explanation between the Public: and ourselves. It is purely business, and. has relation to that very pregnant topic betwoon’ the makers and readers of the Hamazp. In carrying on a newspaper like ‘ours the progress which is marked by Sn extension’ df our news facilitis’ on this Continent or any of the other continents which we call olden creates in turn a necessity for progress in other and more mechanical Dbrandhes,..of,,. detail; We. mean. by psi the “necéesity which demands ‘that the ws collected abroad and centralized in the Hanis should be once more, instantaneously almost, disseminated tothe public through our columns, Distance in the first part of this process may be annihilated, but unless we can overcome @ hundred small but pressing diffi- culties in the way of publishing the record thus obtained the enterprise falls parched and useless, like the wheat in’ the parable, scattered on the rock. These considerations are but rarely canvassed by the reading public and still more ragely appreciated. They never think that the want of facility in printing a paper is a thing which grows in the ratio of its other requirements. If the Heraup prints @ regular edition of one hundred thousand copies they do not think that there is any great difficulty in printing twice the number, Neither would there be if the dear public would only wait an hour longer before getting its paper. Like true performers of what we preach we do not wish it to wait a second. 'The question of supply is reduced among morning papers to a battle with time. From the moment that the last line of ‘type goes to “press,”’ strange as it may seem, there is very little more than one hour in which to prepare the full edition, The paper which passes this time to any extent loses in sale, ‘The diverging’ channels through which it is scattered broadcast are timed s0 nicely that they cannot delaya moment be- yond the time set down for them,’ ‘The mails, like time and tide; wait. for mo’ man or paper. The carriers, who know that a hun- dred thousand breakfast tables are waiting for their journals, cannot delay. The paper which is ‘ate’ must then’ be done without. The carrier is sorry’;' somay'tho breakfast tables be,. They both,endeayor to console themselves ‘with ariother “journal; but, the paper which is ‘ate’ suffers without any Gonsolation.; It has ‘been the constant pride of the Hamann’ to ‘have ever‘endeavored to foresee and provide for this; yet with all our’present facilities ‘the question of growth becomes as importunate with us and our readers at present as the ankle-high pantaloons of a boy of fourteen’ are’ to himself and his parents. Before entering into any explanation of our wants, desires'and intentions on this score, we would wish to make a few corrections. In the Daily Witness we ‘find the following para- graph:— The HERALD says it soid one hnndred and fifty- two thousand copies yesterday, though it was five o’clock A, M. before iPwent 16 press. This is the gest Number it ever sold, the next largest being over one hundred and forty thousand when Lee surrendered. | It adds that hatte it. could have sold two Fined | thousand had its premises been extensive eno This is probally. the first bell for a move to the e great new building of iron and brick in Naseau where the HERALD formerly geen ge ate” The figures:of our Wednesday's sale are cor- rect, and we may metition ‘asa proof of the progress we refer to that our sale on that day | exceeded by forty thousand,.on, the result’ of a national election which was almost a foregone conclusion, the sale on the day after election a year ago, when, amid the most intense excitement, the ‘Ring’ was buried under the great uprising of the people. The other statement, that it is the first bell for a move to the new building on the corner of Ann and Nassau streets, where the Hmnatp grew to greatness, has no foundation in fact at all. Cramped as we now are in our present building, we shall, for at least. three or four years more, try to find elbow room in this location. In any case we shall not think of leaving Broadway. By the time we have mentioned Mr. A. T. Stewart may possibly consent to selling ont his marble building at the corner of Ohambers street and Broadway, which, with good management, might be made capable of meeting our increased wants: When we first occupied the present Heratp building, the basement, first, second and top floors onty were used for the purposes of the Hunatp business; now we use from the roof {9 the cellar. Our present ating capacity of one hundred thousand impressions an hour is attained through the agency of five Hoe presses and two Bullock presses, both of which answer their purpose very well and perform their respective quotas admira- bly, We find it necessary, nevertheless, to seek space for at least three more of high power, and this can only be attained by en- larging our press and engine rooms laterally on Ann street and obliquely on the face front- | ing the New Post Office square. As an in. | stance of how this will react in other depart- ments we may mention that it will also necessi- tate a doubling of our stereotyping arrange- | ments. This we propose to do within the | building. An unprofessional reader of the Herarp, without this explanation, would hardly see how the posting of an extra corps of Hxnaup news vedettes around the world would call the pressmaker, the architect, the machinist and the skilled stereotyper into in- stant requisition at home. When thus made | clear we have no doubt that its rationale and its execution will prove interesting. From time to time within the past year an alleged intention on our part to transfer the Henatp establishment to the new build- ing on the corner of Ann and Nassau streets has found paragraphic expression in the press. As we have said above, such is not the case. The building in question, designed by Mr, Arthur Gillman, the architect.of the Equitable Insurance on Broadway, and the Drexel banking house on Wall street, will be of the fireproof order, con- structed wholly throughout of iron with brick arches and iron girders, It will be one of the highest buildings in the city, six stories high, and furnished with two elevators, making con- tinual ascents and descents, so that one of them will be always available for going up or coming down. The lower stories will be let to banking and insurance offices, and the WURDE arories te the various Wusinenie Auch Ag 1o drawbeck, as is the onse in the old style of buildings, which ‘have! drawn eo (mai ny . i curses from weary ‘of stairs did from Lord Byron.

Having thus mado’ our’ resell on points of interest to, ourselves and our readers, we commend them to the latter with every sentiment of well-wishing in their behalf, aa they have, through thirty-seven years, proved their faith in our intentions by an nanan support, > The Late Elections in France, Our European files just to hand help us to an explanation ‘of the late French elections. Seven seats in‘the Assembly were vacant. Of course all the parties did their best to win. ‘The Bonapartists, the legitimists, the. Orlean- ists, the republicans, were all in the field. Money was freely spent, but whatever the cause, and whether right or wrong, the repub.. licans have come. out victorious. Six of the seven departments have returned to the Assem- bly republican deputies. The Duke d’Aumale did his best for friends, but his friends were defeated. The Count de Chambord pite- ously implored; but; not a single legitimist had the:shadow of a chance, The Bonapart- ists fought well, but'scarcely a vote was given in favor of the Empite. Out of the latest gon-, flict President Thiers has come forth, yicto- rious. He has deelared himself in‘ favor of the Republic, and, looking at ‘these latest figures, we must admit that the present admin- istration is satisfagtory, to, the, bulk of,,the French, people. .: M.

Radi- cal changes, no'matter in what direction made, might bring about revolution; and as revolu- tion is the one thing which France wishes to avoid President Thiers will do well to allow the ship of state to float on without troubling the-waters or disturbing the sails. Consider- ing her past experience, her many efforts and her frequent filtres, France has ao fair right to be the, first well-established Republic on a grand scalé’ in Europe.

Pooh-Pooh Stanley. When a London sweep’ on one occasion found that his neighbor was going to a party where sweeps chad no social’ consideration it is recorded that he threw a bag’ of soot over the neighbor, with the Satanic remark, ‘‘When coves as din’t sweeps ’ave sut on their dickies (shirt fronts) it’s 'ard to tell 'em from coves as is sweeps.” With, similar logic the Lon- don Saturday Review and some others of the English press have been industriously be- smirching the New York Herat and its correspondent, Mr. Stanley, since ‘the success of the Livingstone expedition. The conduct of the latter gentleman, amid a storm of this journalistic soot, has been marked throughout with o manliness and moderation becoming a man who,~ having been the méans of doing civilization a ser- vice, was content modestly to accept the com- mendation of the best and only condescend- ing reply to the meanest and worst when spite.’ ful innuendo was replaced by absolute insult.

The portion of the article in question pertinent to this personal question, and which we may paradoxically allude to as a series of impertinences, we publish in another column. America or the Hznanp expects little from such a source in the line of, fair treatment. When it introduces its disin.’ genuous argument with a quotation from Hawthorne to convey an American's impres- sions from some of the usages of polite society, it shows simply its immemorial ignorance of America and Americans, and no less a mis- understanding of Nathaniel Hawthorne. It may be scarcely worth while to correct it on the latter as it would be hopeless to help it on the former; yet a word may be of ser- vice* Hawthorne, in saying of Lord Lang- downe “he would have me remember that he was a peer, and that, he yielded the step to me,” went with one of his keen, delicate incig- ions to the marrow of a grade of snobbery, which is none the less so from being found in the manners of a noble lord, Hawthorne was not the man to notice whether a lord or a Saturday Reviewer went before or behind him, so long as the question of precedence was not placed in some visible shade of offen- siveness. Your obsequious reviewer, among “those who knew the Marquis,"’ yon know, might not possibly observe the ostentatious condescension in the bland old géntleman bowing at the foot of the stairs; but Haw- thorne, the peer of any noble, did and said so.
