While it is not yet pos itively determined that Governor Cleveland is elected and cannot be until the official count on Tuesday next is made public, yet it is reason ably certain that he will be our next President. Speaking lrom a personal knowledge of Mr. Cleve land and from his past record, first as Maypr of Buffalo and then as governor of this state, there is no reason to fear but that he will fill the executive chair with the same satisfaction and credit that he has former positions, and biselection being largely due to republican in fluence, be Will be the subject to party and sectional obliga tions; .

JlJany fv-Ciifihy people now spend tjro or three montits-djes* every-winter, even though they claim no perma nent residence, and no fixed busi ness here- They come for the ex citement, tor society, and to be chronicled among the distinguished people at the Capital. The tide of people which rushes towards Florida and the South as cold weather sets’in usually go by the way! of this city, and generally stay here a week or two, going and coining. These worshippers of the sun, or warm weather, are arriving now in considerable numbers. In addition to the fashionable people It is noticeable that the liter ary guild are also coming to Wash ington for the season. I refer es pecially to writers of fiction, many of whom are now located for the winter, I passed by the residence of Mrs. General Logan a few days ago. General and Mrs. Logan have usu ally boarded At fashionable hoard ing house, but this winter they will keep house' in an old-fasmdned, home-like mansion on Capitol Hill. The' acquaintances of this couple are perhaps as numerous as those of anyone in public life. Th.eir bps and better,'a’ consummation which almost every public' man might cov et. The wildest iambitipn of Mr. Clay^M8eo,aet have befil fully sa tiated, He had be n at the head of a great and triumphant? party. He had shaved its cpnfidence in pros perity and adversity. ; 1 He had admiration such as has rarely been given to any man in any fnehjls werg-legion, and all the tenacity of holy affection. He left the senate with a reputation for statesmanship, for patriotism and for ep6quence which any man mivht covet. He left public life, too, at peace with all mankind, and with a conscience void of offense. In his retirement ^e.tsarried with'him the best wishes of Tall. men. There he could hate no foe^ and. those who had been foremost to denounce were among the fipit to speak his praises. The last act of Mr. Clay was to pre sent the credguiials of Mr. Critten den, whom he. spoke of- in the most exalted terms^nd to whose hands he expressed a 'willingness to yield the interests pf his -Btate and couu- jtry.

The ball had fairly begun when a tall, black haired, well-dressed, 1 handsome stranger appeared and excited much comment* A particularly hand some, young girl was taken oat on the floor by her partner,, and sud denly the stranger stepped up, aqd with great politeness requested the gentleman toTesign the lady in- his favor, He ;whispered h& n*me in the young man’s* etir, paid a compli tnent to the young, took her forth and led the dance.

TT also means the defeat of the unholy scheme devised by Gould and his partners in crime for driving the Indians out of the Indian Territory, Stealing their rich lands in the name of the government, and then having them divided among the land grant railroads which they control and which they propose to extend through the territory. These are a few of the many why Gould so ac- tively^upported Blaine. Gould is a Gould man every time and ottfy a Blaine man incidentally when it will help Gould.

GRANT AND BEAUREGARD. MMtlng of Tbeso Famous Generals tks Other Chicago Herald!, It is a mistake in heroes when ever they neglect to be six feet in height! Two men met in the pub lication office of a New York mag azine, for which both had agreed to write articles. They were intro duced to each other, and I watched them very interestedly, because they weie General Grant and Gen-, eral Beauregard. The visible splen dors of war had departed from them with their uniforms, and their civil ian coats were even' glossed by wear in spots Where gold lace once had shown. Grant walked heavily with a cane, nev.er having entirely recovered from the hurt to liis hip in a last Christmas nighf fall on an iev sidewalk. His hair and whis kers had the shapes made familiar by his portraits, but .his r lowness of stature was deplorable, because he was rather slouchy anicT fat as well. He looked more like s plain. matter- of-fact merchant than the foremost General of.a great war,'. Beaure gard’s head.was all that could,have mperial hue, and the outlines' df a military model, but . he needed n six! finches more of body and legsin. .order to inspire any sense of grandeur. Did they fall into heated' antagonism, as champions of once 'opposed hosts? Notatall. They did not so much as . discuss . the struggle, calmly. Gtsnn <' Their topic was Grant* • lamepess, which he said he did not expect to ever get rid '6f,'' and Beauregard’s rheumatism, which he' ascribed to the changeable northern climate. moll lo.iicR ‘idt h: uregard to cal', on rent replied that..; Jn te< i to do so—all in the^ manner of men who' might ' or might not mean it.'
