The Result Of Election.

In announcing the result of the Presiden-
tiAl election, which we do this morning in
proclaiming the SUCCESS of General Grant,
we shall leave to some future occasion
discussion of the principles and interests
he is supposed TO represent Acquiescing
in this result, we have neither the DISPOSE
ton or the tint. at this moment to utter
complaints Of the manner in which the
canvass has heen conducted by those who
assumed its control. Wp shall not, how
ever, allow this contest and the defeat of
the Democratic party to pass from the
minds of our readers, but shall place upon
record such evidences of betrayal of trust
as will enable the party represented at the
New York Convention to profit by the ex-
perience so dearly bought 1t was with no
disposition to find fault, or to question the
sincerity of those who differed with us in
the selection ofour candidate, that we feel
cialel upon to express our want of conf
deDce; but when we Witnessed such total
wantoD, and inoxcusable want of capacity
for conducting q campaign of the rIagni-
tude, we deemed it the duty to expose it.
The result which we chronicle to-day of
the vote of the State of New York fully
proves that our worst Opprehensions have
been realized. The evidence of treachery
is plain. 1t will be seen that Hoffman leads
Governor Seymour by many votes; and the
caution which we gave few days ago has
been unheeded. TaInmany; with all its
oorupiions, has triumphed, at the expense
fall party fealty, and will now revel in un-
disturbed possession of the spoils wrune
from the over-taxed people of the Empire
State. With such an incquivocal confes.
sion ofduplieity and treachery as this result
exhibits, We call upon the Democrats and
Conservatives of the country to scorn in the
future all afiliation with these spoilamen

The Election Of General Grant.

PARIS, Nov. Elm an article alluding to
the election Of General Grant, the journal
La France expresses the opinion that the
defeat of the Democrats viewed as an op-
position party, is more apparent than real
The defeat it says, was neofpersons, and
not Of ideas; the Democrats were defeated
by their candidates, and not by their doc
trines; they are now bound by the very
motive of things to obtain, at some future
day, not very distant, the control Of public
affairs. General Grant himself will be
compelled to reckon with them; the day he
does so be will lose ground with his own
party He will finally abandon it as soon
as he will see that the policy Of the Repub-
cans is not that Of Union, Of economy and
of prosperity for the country. In such
matters, circumstances were very strong,
and circumstances viii force him to adopt
another policy than the one recommended
by the party which has elected him. Over
whelming opposition to the Republican
party in the form it has hitherto existed, is
not matter of few years, but n few
months. General Grant viii have the op-
portunity of playing q considerable part in
change which is near ut hand, in the opin-
ion and interests of his countrymen.

The Next House Of Representatives

The New York Herald says the Demo-
Gratis will have eighty-four members, which
is more than third of the next House Of
Representatives. Seyenty-six members
make over third, aud tho Tribune con-
cedes eighty-three to the Democrats. The
Tribune makesan error in claiming Re-
publican as chosen from Kentucky, and
possibly it gives one too few from New Jer-
sey. In Connecticut We may fairly expect
two more members to add to our list; and
we can hardly fail 10 elect one Democrat
there We may thus couut on elecIing from
eighty-fve to eighty-six members in the
next House of Representatives.
This destroys the two-thirds majority;
but it will not be suffered to stand 80. The
Republicans, following the custom they
have already instituted, will expel or unseat
a sufficient number, say some ten to twelve
Democratic members SO as to secure their
two thirds majority;an in full anticipation
Of this interruptions course, we hoar all

factnrer.
The st. Louis Republican thus narratesa o
novel swindling operation, more amusing
to the reader thHn the luckless victim:
"a cigar and tobacco dealer, named
Charles r. Knoll, whose stand was ON Fifth
street, had in his employ 9 oigar.maEer
who had moved out of the Assessors dis
trict, in which he formerly lived. He ought
TO havehad his license endorsed by theAsses-
sor OF his present district, but neglected it.
This fact became known to some sharpers,
who gave their names as Hang Il Co.,
and called upon him. Knoll, who is o very
timid and nervous little German was told
that he had been violating the Revenue
law, and rendered himself liable to heavy
punishment. He naturally became much
frightened. They said that if he did not
take care the revenue officers would take
his store from him if they found it out =
They also stated that they had had good
deal of experience in such matters, and
knew how to make it all right. They then
made proposition that he should give
them bill of sale Of his store and its con-
tents and they would take care of it for q
short time.
"Knoll thought this good idea, and so
he made out the bill of sale and gave it to
them. As soen as they got it, one of the
scamps looked out of the door and then
made rush for the inside of the store He
told Knoll that the revenue officers had
found it out anyhow, and it would be best
for him to get out of town. Poor Knoll,

suggestions, made for the ferry-boat as fast
as his legs could carry him. When he had
gone the scamps closed the store,
and one putting ON long-tailed
coat and the other stoye-pipe hal
to disguise themselves went after him. =
He crossed the river before them, and ran
towards the sloughs. They landed soor
afterwards, aud made o show OF pursuit
which stimulated Knoll to greater exer
