VOL. 7Q. NO. i 2
THE present issue of Tun HERALD COM:.
pletes its seventieth velum:2, l :lnd closes
its records for the, present year. it is,
needless to recapitulate the events which
its pages . have - chronicled Within the year, -
which is so nearly closed. Less im
portant in their offectoupon our own - cm:in -
try, than those of 'the years in which the
Nation struggled with troMson for its
life, or even those, of the years which
Prepared the way for that struggle, they
have yet mado their lasting impress on
our history. - During this year the newly
enfranchised citizens first exercised their
right of suffrage, and thus completeits
their title to all the Privileges of citizen
ship. "It was the - full consummation of
the hopeS of those who believed that lib
erty it , as the birthright of all human
beings, and the disappointment of the
predictions, and wishes of those who had,
prophesied tumult and bloodshed as the
fruits of equality before the law. The
Nation has 'now fully learned the lesson,
that the path of duty never leads to dan
ger, and that the howls of demagogues
deserve the contempt of all who seek the
right. This knowledge-will stimulate us
in thirdirectien of justice and honor in
all -future actions, and will be a laud , -
mark from which we may surely reckon ;
our way.
In Europe events of the greatest mo
ment have crowded on each Oper rapidly, -
but their consequences cannolbeSoretold
or estitilated. The great struggle ghlytell
Prussia and France, has not even indi
cated its result, further than immediate
victory forthe'Prussians. Whether it will
clog° with the complete subjugation of the
French pebple, and the appointment of
some despot over them by King William,
or whether out of it shall groW a govern—
ment of tho people, for the people, and
by the people, cannot even - now be
guessed.
_France. may emerge from it a
disenthralled people, or ar , ruined and
al&ct remnant of what was once a pow
erful despotism. Our hopes are not sure,
indications of what may come, and there
fore we can only wait the coming events,
trusting meanwhile that these great
Wills will bring to mankind wisdom,
forbearance, and greater goodness of
purpose.
Among the other nations great changes
have been 'Wrought, but they have been
ahnoit unnoticed. Spain has a King.
Rome acknowledges a temporal govern
ment that is not administered from the
Vatican. Russia gives decided indica
tions that she is not averse to aegression.
All these may be but indications of. a
coming struggle, which may involve
nearly every civilized nation in the world,
before another year. has run, its course.
How all these changes may affect human
ity none can tell.. Whether a bri,,glit
dawn or a deeper gloom conies with the
New Year,,,will only lie revealed as the
plans of the Ruler' of the world unfold
theniselves to our view.
Thus we leave the old year, and pre
paTetikTilee t,
new. What we- have suffered as in
dividuals, and as a race during the past
year we know. What remains to be en
dured in the coming.yoar wfa know
when it has disappeared. That it will
bring much sorrow and little joy to the
great mass of men May ho considered
sure. But come what may to each of
us we will all allow many of its hours to
pass with little profit, and although we
keenly regret the mistalees and follies of
the year noiv clOsing, we will fill as great
a book With their record in the coining
one. Wisdom makes no such speed as
time.
ACCORDING td an established custom,
no paper will be issued from TIIIS OFFICE
during the coining week—all hands
claiming exemption from regular duties
during the holidays. We therefore give
our readers our best wishes for a merry
Christmas and a happy New Year, and
say adieu, until the first Thursday of the
coming year.
We cannot refrain from expressing our
acknowledgments to the friends and
patrons of the. IIrmALD, for tbdir very
generous support and encouragement,
during the past yehr. Without
,any
special solicitation, we find our subscrip
tion list much largel• than it was n year
ago. Our advertising has very consider
ably increased, as has also our job and
book work. For these substantial evi
dences of the appreciation of our labors,
we tender our friends and patrons, must
earnest thanks. •
We also announce in good faith, our
intention to greatly improve the I ImIALD
during the coming year, should our life
and health continue. We shall study to
improve it in every department. ..A:s
soon as at all practieableswe will enlarge,
it very considerably, so as to give even"
more reading matter than it contained
nen ifs adVertisements were less numer

find it a fearless and yigorous supporter of
our party organization, and one which
will give them full and reliable informa
tion on all political questions, while the
general reader, will find in it an abund
ance of local and general news, and
excellent selections.
We do not propose to buy an increased
circulation by the offer of premiums for
lists that can never be obtained, but we
do propose to publish a journal which
will be valuable and interesting to all,
and wo Ask 'eacli of our readers, who.

Ss24.krott Meentmity, of KentuCky, re
vived some of the old issues last week,
by introducing a resolution to give back
to Gen. Leo's family the Arlington es
tate, and also to remove the bodies of
the soldiers.' which have bep9, buried
there. To make the performance more
disgraceful, if that were possible, he
Lde
livered a carefully, prepared eulogy on,
Go Lee, in which he spoke of thetrai tor
in the highest terms. 'The Solute Very
Properly refused to receive the resolution,
and Senators Sumner, Nye, Morton,
ScOtt lud'otherS, denounced in the sever
est terms, both tho resolutithi and the
culogy'on tho murdoror of the soldiers of,
tho Nation, who now sleep at Arling

Tun Pennsylvania Legislature will
convene bn the third of January. From
present indications Mr. James "Webb,, of
'Bradford, 'one of ,'the Most honest and
conscientious Legislators over 'gent to
.llarrisburg, will be chrism...speaker.
The business of r -the s session A.
will be•a-.
ried and important. The Omnibus bill
will, of Course, • receive immediate and
vigorous attention. The Boider dainage
claims Will be presented again. The re
vised Civil, Code will be investigated,
and either adopted or rejected. The
Congreisional and Legislative apportion
ments will be made. This. would be
about work enough for any single session,
but the private jobs and local .bills' will
be as numerous as ever. There will,
doubtless, be many things done which
ought not to be dope, and many things
left undone whiCh should be done.
CoxtmEss adjourns to-day over the
holidayst On its re-assembling yie,may,
expect it to proceed tti-busineds at one
as the present Congress will expire on
the fourth of March next. There will,
doubtless, be many schemes brought out,
ostensibly for the good of ther , country ;
really for the purpose of starting some
new issue which may be of service dur
ing the campaign of 1872. In this re
speet,-the present Congress will, doubt
less, be much like many former ones.
Men don't change much after all.
GENERAL PLEASONTON has been ap
ointed of Internal
evenue, to succeed Mr. nelano. Ho is
man of ability, and well adapted to the
place, having served as Collector of one
of the most important ,disti 7 ibts'in New
York, and being thoroughly acquainted
with the workings of the system. It was
generally supposed that Mr. Douglass,
the present Deputy Commissioner, would
succeed Mr. Delano, but the Powers that
be lurrmordered otherwise.
THE Cabinet makers at Washington
have another sensation. This time Bout:
well is to be retired, and some Western
man, who favors an inflation of the
currency, is to be put in his place. The
President has, doubtless, some difficulty
in solving many of the difficulties that
surround the administration of the Gov
ernment, but his duties are light com
pared -with those of the gossips who
supply the country with so much won
derful information on those subjects.
Quc en a rhetorical duel took place last
Week between Senators Shurz and Drake,
in the United Slides Senate. Neither
was killed, acid what was of more conse
quence all of the audience on the floor
and in the galleries also survived.
These big speeches over local fights
may be a good thing to relieve the mo
notony of tegislatiNM proceedings in the
Svmat.m- but it-`would bm-diflicult to as
sign any other good result 'to them_
IT appears now definitely Piked 'that
Hon. P.. C. Schenck will tieo appointed
minister to England, to succeed M. Mot-
ley. This ig,a most excellent Tirfeiirr, - 7

hearty approval of the party throughout,
the,country,__Gen. Schenck is astates
man of enlarged experience and com
manding ability, and will represent this
Government at the English Court with
advantage,and honor.
SENATOR - DRAKE, of Missouri, has
been appointed Chief Justice of the
Court of Claims, in place of Judge
Casey, who has resigned to resume the
practice of the law. This will require
an election to fill Dm]: e'S unexpired term.
From present indications, there is little
doubt that the Missouri Legislature will
choose a Democrat. We hope it rnify
not be Frank Blair.
B. GRATz BROWN, of Missouri, is
spoken of for, President, and Governor
Walker, of Virginia, for Vice President
by the unreconstructed Democracy of
the• South For all the purposes for
which Democratic candidates for these
offices are used, these names will do as
well as any others. •
SENATOR WALLACE, hi a recentspeech

THE CHANGE QF THE GARRISON.—Ot
citizens were greatly surprised lasteek,
Ltlin_psiblicAtion of an order from the
War Department, making S't. Louis the
headquarters of the Cavalry recruiting
service of the United _States, and consti
tuting Carlisle Barracks "a rendezvous
for but four eastern recruiting stations.
This place has been,for so long 3 time
military post of importance, and the
appearance of the order was so unex
pected, that very few at first realized
that it was any more titan a joke. It is,
however, a lixedtfact. The garrison is
to be left in charge of some three officers
and fifty men, and all the others are or
dered to report at St. Louis on the first
of the coming year.
Without presuming ate all to criticise
the action of the authorities, we can
only say that to us this movement seems
unaccountable. The present garrison
buildings have but recently been built,
and were constructed with a view to the
comfort and accommodation of the full
force that was necessary to run tho re
cruiting of the cavalry branch of the
service. They are ample and commodi
ous, and in every respect adapted to the
use for which they were designed. We
doubt whether there is a. military post
in the country which possesses the cc
conimodations for officers and men,
which the Carlisle garrison affords.
The location has always been regarded
by military gentleme, as peculiarly
favorable. Tho health of the soldiers,
which is ono of the main considerations
in the location of troops, is admitted to
be better hero than at any other interior
post. Some years since, we believe, in
1853, the government made the same
experiment, and ,after great expense had
been incurred in the removal of the head
quarters to St. Louis it was found neces
sary to abandon that point on account
of the sickness of the men while there,
and return the headquarters to Carlisle.
This experimfmt it was hoped had made
the headquarters a permanent fixture for
this place. We are 'inclined to believe
that unless there be 'some very especial
reason for tlie removal of this depot to
the west, that a very e iort, time will
bring it back to us.
Perhaps there may Wan impression at
Washington, '-that this community is
unfriendly. to the 6rrison, and desires its
removal. • Several occurrences within the
last year may have given this impression
at headquarters. It is very far, however,
from the truth. The community does
not now, nor did it ever desire, the re
moval of .the, garrison or any portion of
it. Alma been the means of distribut
ing largo sums of money alinually among
us, and has' had - a gbbd effect in making
and sustaining is good deMand forpro
yisions,, and supplies of all kinds. The
Withdrawal of this, or a considerable
portion of it. will-be seriously felt, by all
our business men, and it will very greatly
impair many of our business 'interests.
The almost unaninmuswish of the people
is that the post be maintained just as it
has been for many years.
SVo hope our business. mon will be.
alive to their interests in this Mattpr,,
end_at once lay/before-thsi-Gavernment
such evidence as will show that we de
sire to have the garrison continued
is. If the impression has been made at
Washington that the people think other:
wisz . :V. be. corrected ,at once. If
tlki is th motive of the Government in
making the change, it will, doubtless, be
reconsidered whom the facts of the case
are made known. Wo doubt not. that
nine-tenths' of our citizens would join
in a petition, asking the War Depart;
meat to reconsider ite, action in this
matter, and. an opportunity _should at
once 'be , given them to express their
wishes.' This matter is of great import-,
once to our town, and' to allow solargo an
!tomer the husiness of the:Plebe, to be
taken away,,without an effort to retain
it t .would be almost disgraceful. La our
citizemrat once' take measures that will
demonstrate to the authorities, that they
neither desired nor expected this change,-
and that they would most, gladly hear
that the Order had.beenroseintlett

It is, decidedly, the handsomest design
of the kind we have over keen ; it has

Board, with an elegant gold pen and
silver holder. The_ gift was tendered 31r.
Eby in consideration of the many favors
extended by him to the teachers, and
also as a reward for the able mariner in
which he has so long filled his present
responsible position. The gift was very
unexpected, and the recipient returned
thanks for the handsome testimonkab,
onwAymAN. —Between 6 and 7 o'clock ,
iirtlitruverdtrg - of - the - thirtecnth'instant,
as James-Gensler, residing 'dt Carlisle
Springs, was crossing the North _Noun-,
tain, at Sterrett's Gap, he was attacked
by .a man, his horse stopped, and his
money demanded. Mr. G. being armed
with a heavy riding whip, dealt the high
wayman a severe blow on the head, caus
ing him tci loose his hold on the bridle.
Mr. Gensler proceeded on-his way with
out further molestation. Owing to the
darkness of the evening, he .was unable
to recognize the villain who halted him.
THE public• schools Of this borough
closed on Friday last, until Tuesday, Jan
uary 3, 1871, Before being dismissed, the
pupils of the various schools,. without ex
ception, presented their teachers with
appropriate holiday presents. The
gifts to the male instructors consisted
of dour, apples, turkeys, geese, chickens
and - ducks, while the ladies received ele
gant pocket handkerchiefs, together
with other fancy and useful articles.
These holiday gifts speak in loudest
terms of the universal esteem in which
our corps of able instructors. are held by
the children placsd under their care for
instruction.
WE had not the pleasure of attending
the Conceit and Literary entertainment
given at Emory church, Thursday even
ing last, by the Sabbath School of that
church, assisted by sqine of the students,
under the direction of Rev. W. M. Fry
singer, minister in charge, but wo aro
gratified to learn from gentlemen who
were present, that it was a decided sue;
cess, as evidenced by thefact that many
expressed their regret whoi hour ar7
rived for its close. •
Wo have neither time nor space to go
further into detail; than to say, that the
declainations and readings of the young
gentlemen were, wo are informed, beyond
comparison, the best with which our citi
zens have been favored for many a day.
From what wo hear we incline to join in
the hope, expressed on all hands, that it
may be repeated during.tho winter.
COMMUNICATED
Mn. Eramen.—The Churchtown high
school held a literary exhibition in that
place on Friday evenhig, December 11,
for the purpose of raising money to
purchase for themselves a School library.
The exercises commenced at 7i o'clock,
before a large and intelligent audience,
and consisted of speeches, orations;
declamations and dialogues. The (Piali,
ties of the pieces selected, and the
manner which they were performed
showed very clearly that good taste was
used bothhy teacher and.pupils in their
selection, and that no means were spared
to make the performance worthy of pub
lic approbation. The pieces performed
Were received- by all with loud applause,
and some received so ninth that cdtimea
those in the rear end of the room could
not h'ear what was being said. Most of
thepupils bekinging to this school had
nover-taken7part-in-an-exbibitionbeforei
but the energy displayed on this occasion
was sufficient to convince all present that
they are doterinined to succeed in any
cause • which would result in good to
society. The exercises were enlivened
with music on the melodeon and violin
-by Albert Plank and Mr. Weaver. That
the public highlr. . approves of the par
chasing of a library was clearly exhib
ited in 'their liberal patronage. May
many other schools take the idea, andby
a similar process raise funds and purchase
for themselVes a "school library;" ae
every school in the county should have a
Collection of good books suitable for
Young readers. The exhibition was kept
open until a' ,r late hour, the oven-'
rug Wati too short to-perform all. the
pieces that were prepared, and what
remained Were reserved for another
Occasion. Altogether the exhibition is'
regarded, by all who were present, as a
