ALesson From the Result.

It certainly does not tend to allay
tho disappointment Of Democrats
over their defeat to discover that
bad the Democratic managers in
New York city done their duty Gen.
Hspcock would now be the Presi-
dent elect. Yet such is the fact.
aud therein We may find the incen-
tive TO a good deal Of sober thought
As it turns out, New Jersey, Nevada
and California have ell gone Demo
cratic, and had New York city and
Brooklyn given their usual Demo
cratic msjorities, New York would
have been added to the Hancock
column. With these four States we
should have had votes enough to
elect Gen. Htrrorh and six to spare,
As a natter Of fact, therefore, the
fight wss lost entne'y through the
local diseensions Of the New York
city Democracy. These dissensious
were the work Of single man-Mr,
John Kelly-whose obstinate asser-
tiou Of the right to dictate to the
party in New York produced a split
IN the Democratic ranks which not
even tho exigencles OF a Presidential
canvass evajled TO heal IL is idle
for Mr.. Kelly's partisaus 10 assert
that the Republ can gains elsewhere
would in auy event have overcome
the Democracy, for suSh is not the
fact. And, moreover, there would
have been no such gains but for Mr..
Kelly suicidal assumption Of dicta-
toral power. Although they have
not realized the fact until now the
Democrats were beetsn as long ago
rs the gubernatorial contest in New
York ias, faO for, in carrying New
York in 1879, the Republicans Sc
cured coutro! OF the electoral MA
ohinery, which there is good reason
10 believe they have used corruptly
and without ecruPle to reduce the
Democratic majority in New York
city and in other por,ions Of the
State bosides. For the loss Of the
State government by The Democracy
Mr.. Kelly is e!oue responsible. BY
Getting up Q ticket Of bis own he
gave New York and, "A it nov ap-
pears, tie PIesidency to the Rcpub-
cans. j is impossible to paint in

duct like THE. Gen. Hancock has
literally been slaughtered in the
house Of his friends, and by The vo-y
man who boasted that h,s aid was
Indispensable to Democratic success.

dwell upon, but at least it euiorcea

aged twelve years was one of his schol
ars. Shik is n mischievous boy, and
tho other day ho tripped up girl
about his own ago as she was passing
out of the school room door. He said
it was an accident, but tho girl went
back and slapped his face He struck
her, and the teacher called him up and
hogged him with stick Then he
was ordered to beg the girls pardon
and shake hands with her This the
boy did. The school master then said
shat Shil, TO mike full amends, must
kiss the girl, but this he refused posi-
lively to do His refusal brought him
another whipping. Still he said he
would not kiss the girl. Then he was
Aoggcd fyE the third time and sent
home. Believing that tho teacher had
no right 10 insist on their sons kissing
any of the girls that attended school
with him, and that he had punished
the boy unjusuy, the boys parents had
the teacher arrested on charge of as
sault and battery. IIo was given q
hearing before Justice Of tho Peace
Stidd who sustained tho tea chor's
cause and ordered his diecbargo. II is
said this case will be carried into the
County Courts - NJ Y. Herald.
