The Stato Debt.
• Gov. GEARY announces by precla
rriation that two million four hundred
:and fourteen thousand eight hundred
_and sixteen dollars of the principal of;
.- ihe State debt have been cancelled
since the last report ,of the Commis
sioners of the Sinking Fund, a period
of fourteen inontlts. This is the cheer
, ful Christmas greeting of a Republican
Administration to the Commonwealth,
and while we accept it with thanks,
let US remember it nest fall ,when called
On to choose again new trustees for the
•• management of the public weal. If
the people'of Pennsylvania will perse.
—vere-in electing Republican Governors
'and Legislatures for the next few terms,
we eh all surely be able to extinguish
.the Democratic legacy of debt which
Per so long a time has pressed so heav
ily updil the State.
The reduction of this debt is a fact
-which gives the:4*st solid satisflietion
to the people of the State, and elicits
from the Republican press the warmest
approvals for the Administration to
whose energies the result is due. The
• Lancaster inquire says of it :
This reduction Kis been effected in
the space of fourteen months, ending,
- .November 30, 1868, and is a triumph-
. v i ndication of our State financial
.-- -aystem under Republietur—Adn'2nistra
tion. As affairs are now managed, the
•people of the State maylook forward
confidently .to the extinction of the
_whole State debt before many years.
- of the fact that this-favorable
'Condit% of the State finances • has
.:been 'brought about wipout any
_in
' crease of the burdens of taxation, it is
-highly creditable to the State Admin
istration and will meet with the em
phasic sanction of the people. •
The Public Expenses
_,-The•Secretary. o the Trenstiey sub
'malts to. Congress his estimatlm for the
4lieXpenses of the Government for the
next fiscal year. The total amount is
$30,090,000. Included in this psti
.mato is $129,000,000 for the interest
on the public debt, 55p,000,000 for the
expenses of the army, 820,000,000 to
carry on the navy, $28,000.000 for
_ penSions, and $45,000,000 for civil and
• miscellaneous expense's. --
A very considerable reduction in
these estimates is looked for from the
Oongi•essional committees. The Sec:
_Lretary announces .the _noticeable _tact
rthat of estimated balances of existing
. appropriations, which would be unex
pended daring. the current fiscal year,
the large sum of $61,536,589 may' be

estimittes for the ordinary purposes of
the - Government, civil. military and

sions, foots up only to $134,764,000,
which, however, includes expenses for
loans and for the deficient revenue of
the Post Office department 'the specific

the title of. "Kline's Weekly Carlisle
Gazette,"' and had its commencement
in the latter part of the last century,
and existed, under different names
for a number of years,- until eventually
it was consigned to " the tomb of the
Capulets." •
The first tiumi era of the new journal
Were , printed with — the old-fashioned
Long Primer type, Upon dingy white
paper, and wem scarcely one-third the
size of our issue of to-day. It present
-11 a very rude appearanc'e, but was no
doubt a fair specimen of the typogra-
phy of those times. ' What a wonder
ful revolution in " the'art preservative
of ell - arts" a few short years have pro-
auced
We find by - the old files, that in
1804 WILI4ApIALEXANDER, Jr., was
sole editor and proprietor of the paper ;
and in a few yeais afters a Ile it passed
into the hands of i -GEonat PIIILVPS,
Esq., by whom it was condu ted with
much ability up. In the period of his
death,- in 1824 or 1825. Its publica-
tion woo continued by his widow, ANN
C. PHILLIPS, and was for a length of
time edited, first, by GEORGE PLEI V- ING, Esq., and afterwards by FRED'K.
B. PHILLIPS. 1111832 . , the paper,-hav
ing lapsed into a languishing condition,
was purchased by Mr. HENlivi. SPI- .
CER, who, although not a printer, was a.
man of indomitable energy and industry, .
_
and soon succeeded in increasing the
circulation of the HERALD to the un
precedently large number-ef.1700 cop
ies weekly. The new proprietor, al
though a man of much intelligence and
an ardent politician, was no writer, and
feeling this deficiency, associated with
himself as editor, Mr. DAVID CLARK,
a gentleman of educatfon and attain
ments. Under this arrangement, the
paper took a leading part in political
. affair's, and was in a most prosperous
condition. The death of Mr. SNEER,
however, in P 337, dissolved , this con
nection; and Mr. WM. B. FULIVILER
became a partner. This arrangement
was not of long continuance, and soon
we find the Eames of lIITNER & BlD
bit; under the head of the paper as
editors and proprietors. As neither of
these gentlemen were - 'printers, they
soon tired of editorial honors, and sold
their interest to GEORGE 11. PHlLalps,
Esq. Mr. P. managed the concern un
til May, 1839,- when* another change
took place. • It-was new purchased by
a Company, and Mr. GEO. W. CRABB
Was cOustitutcd " Editor and Publish
er." Mr Crabb continued to be the
efficient editor of the .I.4mm.n until the
spring or summer of 1841, when, owing
to prOlitical rivalries, he suddenly die
severed his connection with the paper,
and in a short tiie established a jour
nal of.his'own, "democratic in politics."
:rho_HSßALp z thus left as it. were upon
a lee shore, without rudder or compass,
pursued its way as it best could, and
was published for some months without
an ostensible editor ; When in March,
1842, it passed into the bands of Mr.
Ronlitcr W. Mt miLtFroN, of Lancaster.
Mr. M. enlarged and otherwise improv
ed the paper, and it seemed to be once
more on the high road to fortune. At
the end of six months, however, Mr.
Middleton retired, and was succeeded
by E. BEATTY, Esq. The term of Mr.
Beatty's proprietorship continued from
September, 1842, until some time in
1557. Under his long rule the paper
was eminently prosperous; it enjoyed
a large circulation, and wielded great
influence., .11e, paid - numb attention to
the local affairs of the canny and dis
trict (a matter heretofore sadly neglect:
.ed), and' funnelled his patrons with an
excellent-local, as well as political and
news journal. Mr. Beatty disposed of
the establishment to Mr. 11.11. COOVER,
a young gentleman' of fine abilities and
thorough education, but whose failing
health prevented him front' giving his
whole attention to its editorial control.
Accordingly, WILLIAM' M. PowrEn,
Esq., officiated as editor, and underlie
hospices the HERALD lost none of its
vigor, or ability. After, Mr. Coover's
decease, -its 'publication vas Continued
by. his &mentors (tlio same editor, hav
ing charge), until 'January Ist, 1860,
when it was finally disposed of to the
present senior editor, A. K.' RUEEIII,
who conducted it • indiyidtially until
June 2Q, 1864; when J. M. WEAst.ny,
Esq,, becatne,associated as editor. This
connection was , dissolyed in January,
1866, and Ilbeem remained tiole editor

It is not for ns to say - with what

will, as 'heretofore, devote the whole of
our best energies and abilities 'to, the
work of Milking tlie - - ABRAM) worthy
the liatronage - of the Republican party
of this county. We will endeavor to
make it as local- in chorea& as possi , -
ble, while at the same time we will not
neglect the advoca4 of any of those
great doctrines which our , party has
enunciated, and upon tbe?strength of
which. the patriot-soldier GRANT was
elevated to the Presidency.,,
In this connection, we would impress
upon our readers the piopriety of ex
tending the Circulation HERALD._
One of the most efficient means of keep
ing up a party organization, is to freely
circulate the journals of tht party in
question. The-cost of doing this is so
emall,ithat it is a matter of great wonder
that, those engaged in, the good work
do not more promptly avail themselves
of the means sukgested. Good Repub-.
lican' newspapers should be placed in
the bands of every one who, takes an
interest in the success of Republican
principles. Those who canna afford
to subscribe themselves, and there are
but few such in reality, should. o have,
the documents furnished them by those
who are able to do so. The BEST elec
tioneering document is a eound Repub
liEffirpAier,
" Trutld an a lattshen."
Our article of a week or two agd, tin
der the above caption, has stirred up
the wrath of our amiable neighbor, the
Volunteer, and it indulges in a strain
of special pleading to prove our state
ments-false•-• Yet, notwithstanding its
indignant disclaimer, we reiterate our
assertion, that the strength of modern
Democracy lies chiefly in the ignorance
add prejudice of - the masses who eetn
pose that party. We asserted, also,
that the Republicans depend -for the
success .of their principles upon the
virtue-and intelligence of the people
who have been educated in a knowl
edge of our institutions and are ac, 7 _
quaiuted with their practical workings.
Both these statements are susceptible ,
of proc;f. Let us ill4tram , : In New
England, where free schoOls are the
birth-right of all its children; and where
the people are educated and intelli
gent; the Republican party is - mightily
in the ascendant, and all its States cast
heavy Republican majorities, On the
contrary, in Now York city, where
are congregated the ignorant and illit
erate out-pourings of all nations, there
has Democracy its chief strength and
there does it rule rampant.. In that
garden spot of Democratic purity and
"refinement," the foreign importations,
knowing little of our institutions and
caring less, and marshalledand drilled
by the keepers of low 6ggeries, an
professional pugilists, almost to a man
support - the Democratic ticket and an
nually vote doWn the-strong Repuhl'i :
can majority in the country portiOn'of
the State. These assertions are true,
and the Volunteer knows them to be
true. We need say nothing. of the
South and its Democracy. There, the
common schitel • system- never-bad an
existence, and not one in ten of its poor
white inhabitants ever. received even
the rudiments of an education. Neyer
theless they wore ^and are intensely
' Democratic."
The assumption by the Volunteer
that John C. Calhoun was a member
of its party is _rather griituit,ous. Mr.
Calhoun was " a neutral- T . -an armed

CHRISTMAS I MERRY CHRISTMAS
—To-day , is Chriiktmas, and . we - take the
opportunity to give the compliments d the
season to our numerous friends„ patrons
and readers, and wish them all a "Merry
Christmas and a "Nappy Now Year l'?
This is the,anniversary of the birth day
of the Savior of the world, and as ouch it
is lo r a, most religiously by a largo portion
- of the people of Chriatoridom, arid to ,all
it is a time of festivity and gladness. It
'is also the season of giving and receiving
gifts, as well as' the interchange of kindly
greetings. Christmas, Wherever recognis—
ed and celebrated, is a .period-of Merry
making and good cheer. In ancient Rome
the celebration was called the Bauman";
a season in which both master and slave
joined : in merriment and song. The sym
bole used to celebrate that period among
the pagans have been, since -the advent of
Christianity, made to commemorate the
greatest eventin all thp o arknas of history.
The Christmas tree, which originated in
Germany, has been added as another con
tribution to the festive occasion, thus blend
ing the customs oftwo ages of the world
directly at war with each other. The song
and dance and revelry of ancient times is
blended with the dance under the mistletoe
of our own, and thus in merriment and
glen is it celebrated by generation after
generation.
But how many thousands are there who
know no Christmas ? How many cheer
less bellies throughout the land that• Will
receive no kindly visit from Santa Claus
this Christmas day! How many who will
celebrate, amid hunger, cold and sickness,.
this anniversary of our Redeemer's birth?
While the raging storm that bowls with
out to-night is droWned amid _thelnirth
and joY of our own homes, let us remem
ber that it re-echoes the sorrows which we
han alleviate; let us play the part of good
Santa Claus and carry a ray of sunshine
into ... some household whose cheerless fire
side has never yet echoed to his voiceless
tread.
SOCIETY A3IYIVERSARIES.—The

and the six young gendamen who' were
chosen by the socilltm the orators- for
the occasion, acquitted therrieelves goner
ally fo a very creditable manner. To
mention any ono.as having excelled th - e
others would be invidious; and whilst it
might cause him to feel elated; it certainly
would wound the feelings of others who
doubtless, in the opinion of - many did
quite as well. 'ho following is the Pro='

In this connection-it may not be out of

Society; and the presentation by the mem
bers themselves, of a beautiful Cake to•the
Cumberland Fire Company, return to
that 'Company, for their courtesy in pet
miffing the Society to have the use °like
hell,, after they the — MselVes 'had engaged
it. Dr. DAC:HILL'S remarks, werehand
some and appropriate, and evinced a live
ly interest in the affairs of the Societies.
In reference to the College exercises
which aro hoid - from year to your, we
would simply suggest that should the
.Students whO do not participate in them.
conduct themselves in a more decorous
and gentlemanly manner; audiences
would doubtless feel under obligations to
them, arid their own reputations for pro.
per behavior greatly increased.
INTERESTING,„ TO FARMERS,—The
Commissionerq, of Internal Revenue has
decided that Farmers have no right to
have their grain manufactured into flour,
and then sell the flour in • any manner,
without paying g license to the GoVern
mint, and if , they do, they Ore liable to
the penalties provided by law: We men
tion the fact for the benefit of those who
may be interested in knowing. Day by
day the people• are becoming more and
more acquainted with the ramifications of
LlES , lnternal• Revenue law.

THE HIGH PRICE OF GOAL.—Both
the press and the people aro loud in` their
complaints at the extraordinary high price
of coal. It is assorted, and wo believe with
truth, that tho strikes at the mines Wore
induced by the owners in order to .aftord
'them an opportunity to put.up the price Of
coal, There; is just , as much coal as ever,,
and the wages paid for mining are not sut
flolent to Justify the present fate demanded
for this much :needed article of fuel. The
poor will feel 'this extortion. heavily and
an otherwise hard winter will be made still
