Washington. D. C. 1
Nov. 16, 1868.’ /
Editor Leader .—Washington is
now rapidly filling up with its usual
conglomerate metaphysical, speci
mens of humanity, and these prelim
inary indications show that the
Capital this year will be crowded with
strangers. There seems a
WONDERFUL UNANIMITY,
or at least a quiet in the Demo
cratic ranks since the election of
Gen. Grant, and the indications now
are that liis administration will heal
old wounds, and restore the prodigal
States to the Union ; which, hence
forward, will gain anew impetus in
the onward march of progress and
prosperity. Capital and enterprise
will infuse a new hope, where despair
and want now reign. With these
promises before us, and the sun of
prosperity breaking through the
clouds which have heretofore over
shadowed us, the inauguration of
Ge> eral Grant will be a long and
thankfully remembered occasion.
