N'Uti0mOE Prospects.

.FOtiOHGC E'r0SpCcGS.
At the threshold of the New Year i,
is natural to look forward, with the
minds eye, to catch a glimpse of what |
old Father Time has in store for us
The prospect is not very brilliant one,
still here and there cau be seen rays Of
promise struggling through the gloom.
The currents o" tinic more gluggis hly,
and sentiment OF doubt as to oar abili.
ty to weather the gale prevails. Busi,
ness men propkesy commercial crash
which will denoraile the whole system
Of finance and government. Watcher
they are right or not, Is il not Our duty
to Try and fnd some avenue of escape
from these evils In paralyai6c the re.
sources Of the Southern States. the Rad.
ical Congress have impaired The Dgos>
perity of the whole nation. As We cam
not wound a member Of the human
frame without affecting the wEolo sys-
TEN, neither can we trample upon the
interests Of section OF one common
country without injury to the whole ma
tional fabric. The untitled fields, tho
ruined fortunes, the disordered industri.
al systems CT tie South, too well attest
how much the Radicals, in :heir fanati-
cism and partisan ambition, have ignor.
ed our welfare As q people ard as q na-
ton and we need not look beyond this
for causes which usher in the New Year
with such gloomy forebodings for the
future.
But, if the year 1868 enters upon its
career with heavy load and with perils
on its path, it bears one element Of safe
ty that may enable it, before its close,
to welcome the redemption Of TIE land.
We commence this new stage upon the
eternal course witn at least the satisGac-
tion Of knowing that BaGlc4lism Is no
longer the controlling power. The year
1878 is destined, If the signs lie not to
witness the ann:hilation Of that m;schiev,
GUS party, that has lett so deep curse
upon the land. 1t will he marked in
history as memorable year, identified
with the resurrection Ct Democracy, and
the restoration Of the Republic to its
normal political condition, which will be
the best guaranty Of its future CONNER
cial prosperity.
1t then behooves every true lover Of
his country to help in furthering the
aims and ends OF that party which will
restore us as nation to our former
standing. Past history will show you
that the party which will go farthest
towards the attainment of this most de-
sirable end is that party which has al,
ways, through peace and war, lived
strictly up to the word and letter OF our
Magma Charta-the Constitution OF
the United States.
We are not despondent. We have
an abiding faith and confidence in the
people. We believe chat the result OF
last falls elections was but the distant
thunder of the political storm-a storm
which will hurl Radical Jacobinism
from its blood bought throne into the
regions of eternal oblivion.

THE JUNE ELECTION.

The registration in the First and Sc, md
Wards indicated considerable apathy on ne
part OF the white voters: ana served to dwat ,
the interest IN the coming election, from the
supposition that il would be a altogether Jug
handled affair. The Conservatives of the Third
and Fourth Wards have, however. made so
active canvass as TO put them smartly ahead
In the aggregate registration of the two wards,
though the Republicans claim 10 have three
hundred white voters in the Third Ward or
enough to still give them the ward. The result
however. of the registration in these two wards
has been to give the Conser natives strong
hopes Of carrying the city, and the canvass in
the wards yet 70 be registered will, undoubt-
eddy, be very active on both sides. Whatever
be the result, and quite aside from any political
view of the matter, il is a healthful sign that
the citizens generally, are now coming forward
to register. When the property holders and
those more directly interested in the property
of n city, show themselves so fastidious so care
less, or so apathetc, as to fail to take part in
the choice OF city officers they have no right to
complain If municipal affairs are not admins
tered to their liking. We hold it also to be a
wholesome state of affairs, when parties are
somewhs; nearly balanced. In elections where
great deal OF drIft-wood is fios.ed in; but where
there is no great preponderance on either side
parties are obliged to put forward good men for
office, and thus whichever side wins the com
munIty is in good hands
