Prospects OF the Year.

The year which has Just dawned upon us
will not open upon very happy people in the
United States. Superadded to the great de-
election, and the private distress occasioned by
1t, we now have the double weight of doubt
and uncertainty brought on by the political
crisis from which we are suffering, which, IN
less speedily removed by the proper submis-
sion of all to the declared results of the
election, will soon crush business on every
hand down to the verge of bankruptcy and
sink the hearts of the people below the plane
of cheerfulness. 1t seemed enough In the
Centennial year of our history that we should
be pinched with poverty to such an extent
that with nine-tenths of the people every dol
lar is regarded with sorrowful anxiety before
it is expended, without having to bear up un-
der the more alarming developments of
national insecurity which constantly excite US
by disclosing the skeleton of treason still
lurking in our midst plotting another rebel
lion. Oh, If those engaged in prolonging this
contest and in striving to incite a factious up
rising against the will of the majority and in
support of sheer pretension, upheld by parti-
san tricks to cheat State of its electoral
vote, If those in their Madness could only
behold the remote consequences of their
folly If persisted in, how it will beggar their
children and blight their own lives, they
would withdraw from the mischief they
mediate before greater misfortunes follow
than have already resulted. And they will
yet see It and relent, and before the new year
is far advanced.

Hard Times.

1t is a mean spirit that moves the Democ-
racy with an attempt to make the Republican
party responsible for the present hard times.
1t is the spirit which actuates the criminal to
cover up his foul crime by making 1t appear
that some one else did the deed. The De-
mocracy, conscious of their own responsibility
for the present widespread prostration of
business; for the numerous failures that are
occurring every day; for the idleness of thou
sapds of laborers; for the disastrous stagna-
ton of business, are vainly attempting to
shirk that responsibility by denouncing the
Republican party and claiming that the pres
ept Administration is the cause of the evils
which do now so thickly beset us as a nation.
Whatever responsibility there is accruing to
any party from the present hard times, that
party is the Democracy. 1t is an established
fact in history that in the wake of every great
war there has come a season of financial dis
tress and business depression. In preparing
for and carrying on war every energy of the
nation is exercised and every sinew strained
to its utmost strength. When the conflict is
ended at first the impetus received from the
struggle continues, and the nation seems
stronger and more prosperous than before;
but soon we find depression gradually creep
ing upon business interests and general pros
trstion soon follows. The Democracy inaugu-
rated the rebellion and carried 1t on for four
years. After its close that party laid every
possible impediment in the path of reconstruc-
ton. The result is, to day we find ourselves
crippled and despairing, our trade interests
blocked and our manufacturing enterprises
under shadow; and yet, in the face Of these
facts, the Democracy cry, the "hard times
have come of too much Radicalism."
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1877-01-02
A NaK Democratic Plot.

The excitement attendant upon the first day
of the year has passed, and now 1t is we'll to
face the movements of the political world, and
read them as they are. Another plot has
been formed within the past ten days among
the leaders of the Democracy by which they
propose to prevent the counting of the cleo
toral vote at all. 1t is this The convention
for counting the vote is to be held in the Sem
ate Chamber. President Ferry, out of cour-
tesy, 1t is supposed, will ask Speaker Randall
to sit by him during the count. When the
State of Florida ia announced, Mr.. Hewitt or
Mr.. Cox will object to the State being counted.
At this objection President Ferry will call the
Director to order, stating that no objections
will be listened to, as he is acting strictly in
ministerial capacity. Mr.. Randall will then
arise and claim that the objection is in order.
The objector will then attempt to state his
objection, but President Ferry will at once
order his arrest by the Sergeant Arms. The
Doorkeeper of the House will then be COM
manded by Speaker Randall to preserve Or
der, which he will ..attempt'by srres.ing the
Sergeant-at-Arms. From this will follow
general disturbance, and the meeting will
necessarily break up in confusion, and assume
the state of riotous or insurrectionary gath
eriDg. This is what the leading Democrats de-
sire, as it would prevent the counting of the
vote by the President of the Senate, and IS
this would leave no President declared, the
duty of the election Of one would fall upon
the House. This is the programme of the
Democracy, concocted in one of their private
gatherings recently at prominent Democratic
resort in this city during the past week.
After all what will 1t avail them? The mo-
ment they attempt to create an unlawful dis
tuIbance in the Senate Chamber during the
count they will find the strong hand of law
and power fastened upon them vice-like and
in earnest for peace. There is nothing like
nippipg evils In the bud.

The Six Great Powers.

Europe, at the end of the year 1871, contained
altogether 800. sl1 ,3oi Inhabitants, of which num-
Der $50 81, s0T, nearly FIVE sixths of the WHOLE
belonged to the six Great Powers. The popula-
tion of these six countries in order, was as fol-
lows: The Russian Empire, 70, sos 1856; the German
Empire, Al ,05s, 1872; the Austro- Hungarian EN-
pire, 3o,1553IO; the French Republic IS 0Io, ia;
the United Kingdom Of Great Britain and Ire
land, 81 OF 500, and the Kingdom Of Italy, 20 SOL
054. This classification, however, becomes very
different when the possessions of the various
European States outside Of Europe are taken
into account In that case the British Empire
comes first with 236, 600, 900 Inhabitants followed
by the Russian Empire with 81, 900 900, by France
with Al 500, and by the Ottoman Empire with Al
100000. Germany still preserves her preponder-
ance over ustro-Huugary; but Holland, with q
total of Is 900. takes precedence Of Italy and
Spain is close upon the latter. The six Great
Powers enumerated have, as mentioned above,
nearly five sixths Of Europe under their imme-
diate dependence, and their populations may be
divided into three groups of almost equal extent,
viz: the United Kingdom, France and Italy, 50
per cent; Germany and Austria, 81 per cent,
and Russia, 81 per cent. Next after the six Great
Powers come Spain with q population Of 10, $780,
900; the Ottoman Empire, $500 900: Norway,
5,e54, s07 and Belgium, ,1136so; while the three
smallest States are the Principally of Leichten-
stein with $500; the Republic Of San Marine,

The Political Outlook.

Every day, indeed every hour, brings csnfir-
mation of the acquiescence of the great body
of the people in the result of the Presidential
struggle. There are few Democratic jour-
mails Of the h-e-eating kind, ard now and then
= knot of psrtisans of the same character,
who profess to believe that Samuel J. Tilden
is elected, and that he will be so declared and
inaugurated. But the most cursery observer
cannot fail to notice that 1t is the expectation
of the thinking ones of all parties that Ruth
erford B. Hayes will conduct the affairs of
the administration for the next four years.
1t is also easy to be seen that the South is
not the least anxious to throw the country
into that kind of civil commotion wherein a
resort must be had to arms. The indications
are very plain that the inhabitants of that re-
gion would infinitely prefer peaceable solu-
ton of the question at issue, or, in case of
conflict, that the initiative be taken by the
Democrats of the North. This being the case,
not much fear need possess the hearts of loyal
men, especially while ...our watchful "silent
man" is in the White House. The Copper
heads are not fighting set. They can bully
and buster, but they are as arrogant a set of
awards as ever breathed. To this brave SOL
iers, both North and South, can testify.
1T NAV come to pass yet that the effects Of
oy. Hayes admirable and Straightforward
ltter of acceptance may be discerned In An
Eresssd show, under favorable auspices, for
