False Prophet.

. The Democracy all over the Ian,
predicted all sorts Of evils as the Sc
. quence of Republican reconstruction
in the South. They said the neer,
would not work. the South would b,
covered with the blood of warrins
races, that political equality of tn,
races was physically aud morally i'm
possible. Indeed, ali sorts of ruin
and disaster were predicted. The ex
Iperlenee of the last four years has dis
proAed these prophecies. The indi

The New Orleans Picay,tAe says
The cotton production is inereas-
ing fast since the end of hostilities.
The excess this year over last will be
about 100000 bales. This crop is
worth more to the South than In 1860
I6l, for it Is nearly all surplus. We
raise as much food as is necessary for
consumption, which was not the case
in previous years. Cotton was then
sold to purchase supplies. Raising
now what We want, our cotton be-
comes a surplus, and brings us its
whole value in cash. Louisiana has

''It is not true" the Charleston
News declares, "that there is any
prospect that the lower sections Of
the State with be abandoned to the
negroes.
Throughout the State the people
are confident and cheerful. We have
more hard money than we had in
1860, and in every sense of the word,
South Carolina has made as much

On this the Cincinnati Gazette
says: "Here is a prosperity which
in no other coutry was possible, after
I four years war, and which is the
exact opposite of all the picture
drawn by Democratic statesmen, of
what was to ensue from Republican
