THE GRAND RESULT.
Every JforthernState recorded its
Tote on tbe uth jnst for Gen. Grant
by majorities far beyond the! most
sanguine expectations of his friends.
The victory is most decisive, mag
nificent and overwhelming. All the
Southern States except live or six
have proved their fidelity to Grant
by casting their votes for him. The
sound policy which has been adopt
ed by the Administration during
the past four years, have given con
fidence to our people, credit to our
country, and a feeling of security
both at home and abroad. The vic
tory has been most complete. The
great principles of the Republican
party have triumphed gloriously.
JJew York State, the great strong
Tiold, in the North, of, Democracy,
has spoken most emphatically in fa
vor of the present administration.
This is most magnificent, taking in
to consideration the fact that it was
the. home of ilr. Greeley. Pennsyl
yania fires off her one hundred and
forty pounder and startled the
whole nation. It was the voice of
her sons speaking for rights. Vir
ginia, the old Domain, in whose bo
som was the seat of the late Confed
erate government, and whose soil
drank up'the blood of tens of thou
sands of brave, soldiers, cast her
vote for Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, the
man who, crushed out the great re
bellion, by his indomitable will and
steady purpose.
GOOD.
We find it quite impossible to out
grow a feeling of calm delight when
ever anything brings to mind the
results of the late election in New
York. Think of it:
Instead of Tammany Hoffman,
the Empire State will now have for
Governor General John A. Dix, a
staunch Republican and a spotless
man'.
Instead, of Oakey Hall, an indict
ed thief, the great city of New York
will, have an honest, capable and in
fluential Republican Mayor.
Out ot 'thirty-two members of
Congress New York sends twenty
four, Republicans, six of these be
ing from districts now represented
by Democrats. Sammy Cox,-the' in
-finitesimal "shoo fly" of the House,
is beaten as Congressman at Large
by Lyman Tremain, a staunch Re
publican. Sammy can now retire to
Tvard"politics. The New York. Leg
islature is strongly Republican, se
curing the election of, a Republican
United. States. Senator and giving
Governor Dir and -Mayor 'Havcmyer
a strong substantial support, which
frill enable them to enforce all .re
forms and cleanse thoroughly the
augean stables of Tammany. New
xork State should hold 'a 'day of
special thanksgiving for her deliv
erance from Satan.
GENERAL BANKS.
M3j. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks was
one of those who thought that ,his
name and .influence would be of
huge benefit to the Liberal-Demo
cratic 'movement. He 'went over
with a great blare of trumpets, and
the Tribune saiil.that he would help"
to carry Massachusetts for Greeley.
Trumbull and Schnrz.he"is found to
have had no positive influence, and
his own Congressional District has
refused to have anything to do with
him, and he is as badly beaten at
home as he was by Dick Taylor on
the Red River. It is quite certain
that he will never turn up in poli
tics again, and that, with other de
serters, he will sink into merited ob
livion.
CONFIDENCE IN GRANT.
The immense gains in Maryland
Delaware, Virginia,Kentucky, Tenn
essee, and other Southern States
show what confidence the intelligent
and law-abiding South had in Gree
ley Democracy as "the party of
peace and reconciliation." Georgia,
repressing white and black Repub
lican voters by Ku-Klux terrorism,
has been carried for Greeley, and
his vote is that of the lawless irrec
oncilables, not of the Union-loving
and true men who accept the situa
tion.; Tho.large. Southern vote for
Grant gives the first sure promise
of a complete restoration of harmo
ny and good will. The era of
peace and good feeling is at hand.
ici .us coraiany join lianas over a
restored Union and the guarantee of
equal rights to all.
DELAWARE.
The Republicans of Delaware de.
serve credit for the manfulness and
perservance with which they have
struggled lor the last twelve years.
Defeat after defeat have never daun
ted their fearless hearts, and at last
victory has crowned their efforts,
and the State is redeemed. All
lonor to the gallant spirits of little
Delaware.
Jt is no wonder that Vermont is so
overwhelmingly Republican. The
report of the Secretary of the State
IJoard of Education shows the entire
school population to be 87,000, and
the numbcr of organized school (Us
tricts 2,64.5. The permanent invest
ment in 6chool houses is estimated
at $1,255,387, and the total co9t of
schools for the past year, including
-iooks and six1 per cent, interest on
the amount invested in school build
rings, at $030,000.

successes in September aiid Oc
tober lias been grandly .fulfilled
by the magnificent majorities
rolled up in all parts of the coun

STATES FOR GREELEY. GOSSIP FROM WASHINGTON.
Wchavc.4 piece of gossip from
Washington which, tiue or false, is
interesting enough. Among the
Comanches visiting the capital is a
young fello wbfell, inlove at
sigm witn tne young aaugntcr oi n
resident millionaire; and, strange to
say, his passion was reciprocated.
They even rode out together in the
family carriage and when those hay-
me chargeof her strictly.prohibi
te'J"any""furtherie'xhiDition of such
bad taste on her part,- she. frankly
declared her. intention of wedding
the Comanche. Of- course the mat
ter was too serious not to receive at
tention. 'On the one side, the youn';
Comanche, with plenty of money,
declared that, he would not Jeav
without the girl of bis love; on. the
other, the girl was as-equally-head
strong. The Indian' Commissioner
could not'merid matters, though ap
pealed to. In this dilemma a trip

NEW RAILROAD BONDS.
Financial circles, already sufil

little influenced by the announce
ment that the New Xork; Central
Railroad Company ,has determined
to issue. 140,000,000 new stock or.
bonds, of which 115,000,000 will
be appropriated to cancelling the
present bonded debt; the rcmainin
$25,000;ob0 to be devoted to layln
a new double track all the way be

the company., A market is expect.
ed to be found in England. It is
announced also that the Chicago
arid Northwestern Company have
authorized $10,000,000. additional
bonds. In addition the St. Paul

North Pacific, is in some trouble,
the laborers have turned out in con
sequence of the failure to pay them
The merits tf the matter appear to
be little known, but it is said that
they involve nothing to the disad

COMMENCEMENT OF THE CONFLAGRATION.
TION.
There was hardly a breath of wind
stirring when the alarm was sound
ed, about half-past seven o'clock,
followed by a second, third and
fourth in rapid succession. But the
first engine was hardly on ,the spot
when the fire broke out from the
fourth story of a large granite store
on the corner of Sumner ana King
ston streets; occupied in the first
story by Tebbets, Baldwin fc Davis
wholesale dry goods dealers. It had
caught in the engine room, and the
flames spread with lightning rapid!
tv'tip the large elevator' and were
first seen climbing underneath the
wood '"work of the roof. The en
gines were fairly at work before any
other store had caught. J. lie Duua
ings in the. vicinity were of granite,
four stories high, and each sur
mounted with, Hansard roof,, none
of them being over five years old
Detached splinters flew readily as
the air was heated by the, terrible
heat, and soon the names oegan ncc
iner the Mansard roof on the onno
site side, far above the. reach of the
streams directed upon it from all
quarters'. The fire was constantly
in tlie'air. and one building after
another caught on the roof and the
flames skinned lhjhtly along from
one window to another, so that
IN LESS THAN THIRTY MINUTES
every cheek was as it be
came evident, that the whole city in
one direction, was at the mercy .of
the flames, which were leaping gaily
from roof to roof and from one
building to another. The second
building to siiccum!) was directly op
posite to that in which the fire first
broke out; and was occupied by
Maflln, Mullen & Elms', Harding
Bros, ii Co., Bowen, Jloore fc Co..
George Lide, Carter fc Co.. and Co
nant Bros., all wholesale dealers in
drv and fancy goods. This was at
the corner of Otis place.
IN LESS THAN THIRTY MINUTES THE HEAT NOW BECAME INFERNAL.
The streets ran rivers of water and
every 'moment was' heard the' sound
of J,granite blocks' exploding and
whole frames railing in tne streets.
'making: them impassable'. The fire
men1 were ttrh-en from one-' station
to another, and' many an engine was
kept nobly at' work, while the by
drant was wetdiiwn'by a hand hose,
and- the. engineer could, only keep
his place while & stream of water
was kept playing upon him. Blocks of
granite iveiguing.tons were split as
if by po.wdqr .and. .hurled across'
wide,street8, and, planks went.flying
through the air. as ,if they were
feathers'., f he firemen erected bar
rica'des and' worked behind them.
but they were burned almost as soon
as erecieu.
THE WORK OF AN HOUR.
An hour had hardly elapsed be
fare it was evident that Beebe's
block, the finest business structure
in .the city., built, of t granite, five
stories .in height, with the .cursed
Mansard .roof, jover,,alL must go,
Within thirty minutes the flames
were coming (put.iu fiery billows from
every winuow sou up uie auiir way
leading to A. T. Stewart's rooms
was a perfect' column of flames,
This'bullding served buas fuel' for
the flames, rieces or ary goods

lodging on window;sllls of magni
ficent stores on' Devonshire street.
Beebe's block stood a solid wall of
granite several minutes'aftcr the in
side fell, but1 heat warped it and $2,-
000,0001 soon laya heap or stone,
brick and mortar. A hurricanenow
raged, and owing, to .the intense
heat .and perfect sleet- of coals,
drove everything before it. Every
building was now .heated as if in a
furnace, and. caught, like tinder.
Four story granite " blocks seemed
like shavings, and deafening ex
plosions were constantly heard. A
new terror was now added to the
babel of confusion. The tenement
houses at'the upper end of Federal
street were fast being licked up by
the flames, and women crazed and
fainting", were ruining to and fro,
carrying children, crockery, clocks,
and bedding in their hands. One
ran screaming'through High street
with a store funnel in her hands,
while another was lugging a heavy
chest which would have been a
weight lor a strong man. JNpw ana
then a few pieces of goods might be
saved by volunteers,-who ran in and
spent five minutes, during which
they- could work, in bringing-out,
perhaps, a hundred pieces of cloth.
One man, Marshal Cotter, got out
$2u,000 worth of kid gloves and had
them placed on the sidewalk in a
damaged condition. He offered a
hackman $00 in vain, to take the
goods to a place of safety. In less
than an" hour he had to flee for his
ife; and .the flames were not again
cheated of their prey. The fire was
now in Federal street, and the wool
houses were going like oil factories.
They could never have been attack
ed at a more dangerous time; cram
med from cellar to garret, hundreds
of thousands of dollars worth were
on hand that might have been de
vered to customers had it not
been for the horse, disease. In one
store nloric there were $100,000
worth of wool stored, which was
waiting- delivery.- Minor, Beal &
Hackctt had their store packed full,
having only put in the last of their
wiuter's stock three hours before
or
so
the
the
the fire enveloped all. March Bros
fc Pierce had just p"ut their winter
goods Tri the cellar, and sent their
summer goods up stairs to be made
up. The paper houses came next,
and near the end of Federal street,
went the majority of the large city
dealers. It had been hoped that
the fire could be stopped short of
Franklin street, but the stores there
were as vulnerable as any ot. tne.
others. The Freeman's National
Bank went at .10. o'clock.and. an
hour later the National Bauk of
North America' was' in as bad 'a
condition. The only place where
the limits of the fire were reached is
on Summer street, where the fire
began. It swept in a northeasterly
direction from there and I cannot
tell where it will stop. The loss, of
course, is beyond computation.
There must be an insurance heavy
enough to bring under sever
al Insurance Companies in this city.
Engines have beeu sent for to
Reading, Lawrence, Lowell, Salem
and Lynn. All in the immediate
vicinity are already here.
The Pilot office has just gone and
old South Church is in imminent
danger. Part of the Western Un
ion wires are already down, and eve
ry now and then another gives out.
Bostox, Nov. 10 9 a. 5t. Build
ings are being blown up on Lindall
and Congress streets. The post
office on that street will probably go
with most of that street. Marines
from the Navy Yard are on duty in'
the street-:.
The lire has reached dimensions
that-.simply defy description, and
thepeople of Boston find themselves
in danger of their lives the. loss of
houses and other property being now
scarcely " thought of. Every street
in the neighborhood of the fire is
thronged by people, all endeavoring
to save a lew valuables, as they turn
towards Treinont and Court streets,
where the fire is supposed to be un
able to reach. But there is no tell
ing where this awful torrent of heat
and flames will stop, as the wind has
already risen to a gale and it seems
to have no positive direction or cur
rent; as the flames increase iu in
tensity and power. The atmosphere
lends additional force to the wind,
which rises, as it were: in our midst,
and goes rolling over the track of
fire, hurling dense showers of fiery
sparks into the air, only to send
them over that portion of the city
still untouched. The rumbling noise
of the torrent ot flame is now and
then relieved by the detonation of
masses of gunpowder, which" have
been placed in untouched edifices in
the apparent track of the fire, and
the awful scene is rendered more
fearful and appalling by the, appear
ance of fragments of these demol
ished houses, as they fly upward in
to the air. The note of preparation
for the worst lias beeu sounded eve
ry where, consequently the aggregate
loss will be greatly lessened by the
prompt removal of all portable
goods. The greatest difficult1, how
ever, is experienced by the merch
ants in procuring the necessary
means of transportation, as the
horses are nearly all ill with the dis
ease, that has so afflicted the larger
cities of the Union. Fabulous pri
ces are being paid for such services
and yet the demand is far greater
than the supply. How will it end?
everyone is askin g.though I hard
ly dare to put the question to ,my
self. It seems to me that if it can
not be conquered now there is no
reason to think that it will until it
reaches the water, in which case it
-will sweep through the dock square,
taking in Fanuel Hall and Quincy
Market, thence continuing its way
toward the shipping at Commercial
and Lewis wharfs, and so on up the
harbor. .1 am sorry to. say that Bos
ton js.no better than other cities for
in the, midst of the terror and con
fusion that .exist, in our streets,
thieves are busy at work, and fre
quent arrests are being made. In
deed, it is difficult to tell .friends
from foes, and many owners are
compelled to see their valuables car
ried off by unknown despcrado'es
withoutventuring to remonstrate or
stop the lawless proceeding. ' The
police do all tbey can to protect
property, but the multitudes prevent
their doing much, and so they con
tent! themselves with makingarrests
whenever possible. Nearly two
hundred men and ho3's have already
been locked up, and also -several
women.! All or these prisoners are
of the lowest class, and come from
the purliens of the city."
I he, firemen from Ncwberynort..
Lowell,Waburn, Chelsea.Cambridgc,
Cbarlestwon, JSew Bedford and oth
er places promptly responded 'to the
call for aid mad: by our city ar-
tboritics, and dispatches are con
stantly coming in announcing their
departure by special trains that
have been started over the various
lines by the rail road companies,bnt
before 'they can arrive the greater
part of the business section of the
city will be destroyed, together
with immense stores of valuable
goods. There is a rumor, which I
have no means of verifying at pres
ent that the fire is .extending south
ward. There are reports that tne
Worcester and Old Colony depots
are in danger. If this is the case
the fire must have taken a backward
course of nearly half a mile, alon
Lincoln. South and Federal streets.
It is a section entirely filled with

reason for believing the stitemen

have been lost in the flames, though
of course, they can be no certainty
or the tact. It is very probable.
however, as so rapid a progress of
the flames could scarcely have oc
curred without some of the thou
sands of panic stricken people being
engulfed in the fiery vortex. As
passed through the neighborhood
of the Are rumors weie rife that
some charred bodies had been found
but I could not obtain any confir
mation of the fact. The fire has
been so little dependent upon wind
cannot call any place in the city
safe. It has not yet above Tremont
street however, or gonctowards the
west or south ends, but when one
has seen, as I have, stone buildings
that we called wholly lire proof go
down before the flames like timber
boxes, he eannot say that any part
the, town will resist the firery cle
ment.
Boston, Nov. 10 5' A. M. The
scne at the corner of Milk and
Devonshire streets, down toward
Federal and un iu the direction of
Washington street, was a tcrrinie
one. Nobody could stand within
three blocks of the burning masses,
the fire had full proscssion of the
buildings within its grasp, as each
edifice caught fire from its neighbor,
flames seemed to devour the
contents in a single moment, and so
torrent of flame grew iu strength

anil power wiin tcrriDic veiociiy.
Fallinir roofs weresinking every
minute and. carried down with
them floors one after another until
the walls became isolated and also
fell with a crash. Whole blocks,
buildings disapie..riiv.lhis manner,
crumbling up like so much card;
boards. Hugh mass of material
choked the streets, and faking fire
created a solid body of flame. The
fire engines were utterly useless for
no liuman beinff coma stand'near
enough to send streams f, water
where they "were needdd Ito j ilfj jf er

already, and unless help speedily
arrives they will be compelled
desist. We are expecting trains
arrive every impmentyfrom sPort-
land and Springfield with more as
sistance, though they cannot' safely
run up 10 the city as the depots are
in danger."
It is a terrible Sabbath that
dawning for Boston, and we cannot
tell when' and where the work of de
struction will cease. It is safe
say that the fire will not be checked
until the day has far advanced even
if .the "effort beucces'sful tlien.
