IN THE FUTURE.

There is every reason to believe that the
present year will be an eventful one not
only in this country, but more especially in
Europe. In the latter there has been the
past year most uneasy feeling regarding
the future of the various empires and king
dOms of that country. The seed sown by
despotism is bearing fruit, and terrible
things will come of its plucking, Mon
archists are trembling at the discomfort and
mutterings OF their depressed people, and
Emperors and autocrats view with msgv-
ings the belligerent demonstrations of their
scrvile populations. The prophecies of
ISAIAH are about TO be fulfilled, and woe
to him who attempts TO stem the tide.
Russia is beginning to feel internal gripings
which are of far more concern to her than
the ambition of England and its roar of
conquest, Royalty in Britain halls with
unalloyed satisfaction the friendly recep-
tiou of her children in one of her colonial
possessions, for she knows the distress at
home and is fearful Of the consequences.
France, the coming year, will again pass
through Presidential convulsion, and al
ready the Bonapartists, Republicans, &C.,
are preparing for the struggle, which will
without doubt be most bitter, with results
that none can loretell. In Germany the
Socialists are dangerous element, and that
they are growing in power is indisputablo,
Their doctrines are most detestable, and
yet they are but the fruit Of a royal despot-
ism of centuries. And who can tell their
end Spain, Italy, and Turkey are all
groaning Money wrung from their OPP
pressed peoples spent and squandered by
the crowned heads and nobility, and with
increased taxes of fearful proportions levied
upon the citizens to meet the deficits; is
this not enough? And the prophecies must
and shall be fulfilled.
In this country we enter upon the yeaI
with brighter hopes, For nigh seventeen
years gold has been an Outeast, only tby
those rich enough to give it crumbs, To-
day it can enter any house and with this
country's twin brother the grcenback, mu-

TIE pEMoCRATs AND PUBLIC OPINION.

The fatal error of the Democratic party is
that ii has never paid attention to public opin.
ion. Popular whims and prcjudices IL has con-
suited far too often for its own success. The
mearcst passions of the meanest rabble-pas-
sions of which the rabble itself is ashamed
when it gets cool-the Democratic party has
often stopped to fiattcr, feed, and obey. But it
has never had any comprehension of that
steady, intelligent, conscientious, slowly.grow-
ing public opinion, which rules everything in
this free country, and before which oven the
passions of the widest mob cover and COOL
NeC York Tribune.
The above paragraph is crammed full of
sound common sense and wholesome truth.
If the Democrats had consulted popular
sentiment outside their own charmed circle,
the rebellion, which was budding for years,
would never have blossomed and brought
forth the fruits that marked four years of
strife and blood upon the page Of American
history. If its counsels relating to the in
stitution of slavery had been i'll accord with
the popular sentiment of the country, in
stead Of being shaped by its own love of
power and aggrandizement, there would
have been no rebellion, no bloodshed, no
heavy national Indebtedness, no deep-seated
alterations; but slavery at the South would
have disappeared rs it did at the North, by
gradual emancipation, without collision,
bloodshed, or even disturbance. The slave
power ut the South counseled the Demo-
cratic party at the North before rebellion,
and, instead of receiving wise and patriotic
counsels, it was assured that if it would
strike the first blow upon the bond of our
national Union the Democratic party of the
North would aid the work of overthrow
ing the Government breaking down the
Union, and overturning the Republic. The
rebels assert this MS the reason why they
assailed the Government, and history fur
nishes the sequel. After cgging on the
rebellion until it entered upon its bloody
work the Democratic party of the North
retired from active business until the war
was fought to the end and the nation was
saved, never doing more than sympathi2ing
in mastery inactivity with those who had
been betrayed into open treason and rebel
lion.
If Northern Democrats had respected
popular sentiment and had been guided by
motives Of patriotism instead of party sell
llshness, there would have been peace in
stead of rebellion, and fraternity in the
place of sectional hate. And what is more
instead Of being Union of disiointcd links
that are held together by mere form ol
force we should now exist as n united
prosperous, and happy country, at peace at
home and with the rest of mankind. Al
our chief ills are chargeable to the account
Of the Democratic party, and yet it has tho
elrontery to ask the people to give il more
power and wider field Of mischief for ii
future operations.

The Democrats have eyaded all debate in
the House on the Southern election out
RACES very successfully thus far. But the
day is near at hand when they will be
brought up to the consideration of this
question with n vigorous determination on
the part of the Republicans not to permit
them to cquiyocate or evade responsibility.
The consideration, which cannot long be de-
laycd, of the appropriation for the support
Of the Department Of Justice will provoke
debate which will end in square, fair

Mr.. THURMAN is not given to practical
jokes. lie is really in earnest when he de-
clares that the best proof he can bring for
ward to sustain the Democratic charges of
frauds by Republicans in the late election
are the hazardous assertions Of the Demo-
cratic organ, which now stands convicted of
lying even about triaing things in reports
of interviews with its -partsans: also
for uttcring malicious libcls against inno-
cent and dclcnseiess women here in Wash
ington, and which has become more noto-
rious for its partisan disregard Of the truth
than BRICK PoMERoY ever dreamed OF
being.

PETTY DISHONESTY.

The Louisville CoWiG-Jomnals sinks itself
to n very low plane of journalism when it
publishes the following as i'm extract from
these columns since the paper came under

There can be no doubt hut that the great
majority Of the party which will administer
the Government for the coming four years
is convinced that whatever reasons have here.
tclore existed for sustaining these govern
meuts, they exist no longer, and that the peo-
pie of those States should hereafter hc accorded

that they shall stand in the way of reconcila.
ton no longer. But there is no thought of
violence in the suggestion. On the contrary,
the feeling is that peace should be maintained
between the cOntending parties, leaving the
stronger to win by its hold upon the people.
Nor will there be in this any abandonment Of
party friends by the Administration, which is
not demanded by every interest of the coun-
try and by the spirit OF the laws; for certainly
no one Will contend that any possible good can
result from further eXasperating the Southern
people by forcing them to submit TO these gov
ernmcnts, or that it is constitutionally within
the Federal power to uphold "A State govern

This paragraph may have appeared in the
columns of The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN in
1877 as is stated, and that fact would chal-
lenge no comment from us now in that con-
neClion but for the following direct intima-
tion that it is from the pen Of its present
editor: ave hope the venerable CLAPP
"will examine the sentiments he put forth
"as his own in 1S77.' 1t is very dishonest
in the COly3cr-JOdTHm to resort to this petty
trick TO place the present conduct of THE
REPUBLICAN before the country in an in
consistent attitude. The above paragraph
may have appeared in The REPUBLICAN
in the early spring or summer Of 1877, when
it was warming itself on the sunny side of
the White House-a performance that has
not been attempted by il since October /,
1877. At that date it passed under the
control of its present management, when il
was put in line with Republican principles
and policy, and has steadily pursued the
course then adopted without variation OF
shadow of turning. We no more inherited
the peculiar policy and customs of our pre-.
decessors than we did their pecunary re.
spOnsibiiities, and the attempt on the part
of the COUrier-JOurRm TO leave the above
waif at our door is an act too contemplate

THEY have some very queer ideas about
honesty aud conservatism down South, es-
pccially in Georgia, ideas which, it is to be
hoped, are severely sectional, for their prev

alization. For example, the Atlanta Con-
