The PROSPER. The result Of the late cleo
lions in the South, taken in connection with
some of the prophecies made by the sbrewd-
est politicians 10 the north, and the reported
''interview" with Gen. Grant, in which lie
declared himself ready 10 run for third term
in opposition to The wish Of the party which
had placed him in power and made him all
that be now is, 60 far to indicate the approach
ing dissolution Of the radical party as polii-
ical power in the land. We are satisfied that
radical msrule win expire with the termina-
ticn of Grants present term Of office, and that
the principles for which the democratic party
have been contendiDg will thereafter be in the
ascendency.
There is now upon the back of radicalism
load too heavy for any party 10 bear up an
der in a country whoae people are as inteli-
eent as ours They Ahye been attending 10
their business all The while that the radicals
have been attending.fo the public business but
have kept one eyed their political rulers
They now arise TO make few inquiries in re-
gard to the Credit Mobiler frauds, the Louis
lana usnrpation, carpct-bag rule in the South,
the moiety extorlions, the ring robberies in
the District of Columbia, and the thousands
Of other crimes and shortcomings of which
they have been guilty
The first step TO be taken in the direction of
reform is TO secure clear majority in the next
House Of Representatives and to this end all
the energies Of the party must be directed. =

the Congressional Districts, and with proper
effort these two may be redeemed.
ln this District the majority to be overcome
is very SMALL even in fair and square fight
where both parties are united. But in the
coming contest we shall find the enemy fatally
divided, at least upon one vital questionable
Civil Rights Bill. Mr.. Lowndes, the present
radical member, voted against the passage of
that bill, and if renominated cannot command
the negro vote which constitutes a large pro-
portion of that party. Should hey throw him
overheard and nominate candidate in favor
OF mixed schools and social equality with the
negroes, they will certainly lose the votes of
all respectable white men in their party Let
them take either horn of the dilemma and the
case is hopeless.
With this very cheering prospect before us.
let every Democrat buckle on his armor and
determine to fight nobly from now until the
election, and we shall be rewarded with a vic
tory second only 10 the great and glorious one
that awaits US in The Presidential contest OF

of the Society, in last weeks issue, as to the
price of admission, il is evident that the most
skepteal would DE convinced that some pro-
vision had TO be made for The liquidation of this
debt, so long ago incurred, and to aid in the
payment of this, for the difference in the price
of admission is such triae hope that the
attendance may be far in excess of any prior
year.
