At precisely - O'Clock on Thursday
night 1874 W III pass in IFS checks and
1875 will pick up its hand. On this day
it is customary to shuttle anew the cards OF
life and turn those labelled good res
olutions' face upward for trump As
we look back over the past year there are
but few who do not see where mistakes
have been made. where good deeds have
been left undone and where we have fallen
short in the performance OF those duties
which every man owes his fellow men.
Naturally we resolve u do better IN the
future, and, just as naturally we forget all
about it. 1t is not our intention, hOwev-
er, to enter on a moral retrospect, but
rather TO say a few words in regard to the
local columns of the HERALD. That they
have often contained matter which was
not purely local in its character
none know better than ourselves, still it
has been our earnest aim to publ b ac-
counts OF all transactions OF public interest
happening in our county, and the continu-
ed and increasing popularity OF the HER
AID lead us to suppose re have been meas
urably successful. If we have offended
any Internationally they can not regret II
more than We do. Our support has been
given unswervingly to all measures that
in our opinion would prove beneficial to
the interests of our town or county. That
all our ways were ways of pleasantness,
and all our paths were peace cannot be
said, nor was it to be expected. Ifany good
has been done or any improvement been
made through our efforts during the past
year we rest content.

ANOTHER RAIL ROAD PROJECT FOR
SOMERSET CoUSTY.-We learn from reli-
able authority that engineers have been
examining a route for q railway from the
city Of New York on an airline to the
Mississippi River. They have during the
present month, December, passed through
Deeter's Gap. having made an examina-
ton of the entire route from New York,
and found it practicable for low grade and
easy construction. This is no doubt done
under the Peoples Freight Railway char
ter, which has named Somerset as one of
the points upon a direct line for said rail
way. A circular issued by that company
says; There are surveys in possession OF
this company which show that from Wells
vile to New York a railroad can be con-
structed with comparative cheapness, in

The New Movement in Kansas.

Our dispatches from Topeka in yester-
days Times must have been read with great
satisfaction by all who desire To see the
downfall OF the dominant party in Kansas.
They informed Us of the harmonious union
OF all the elements of opposition upon "A
broad and liberal basis of equality. and
give evidence of the fact that the next cam
paign will be contested BY more formida-
BILE combination than the Radical party of
that State has ever before been called upon
to face. Democrats, Liberal Republicans,
Changers, and all opposed TO further per-
petuation OF the present corrupt regime,
have united in one organization--as indie
pendent Reformers-to effect its overthrow
and give the State what il has not had for
many years-an honest and economical
administration of affairs. This is the one
object in view, and for its accomplishment
all other considerations have been waived.
A harmonious union has been effected,
satisfactory alike 10 all interested, which
from the very start carries with Il the
prestige of success.
The necessity that has brought about this
new movement in Kansas il no ordinary
one. For twelve years the Radicals have
had full and entire control of the State and
local governments. and secure in an over
whelming majority i'm almost every county
they have elected their local and State off,
GERS and are entirely responsible for the adj
ministration of affairs. They have ruled
Kansas with the most arbitrary and un-
scrupulous partisanship. and at the same
time with an extravaganza and corruption
that can only exist where party feels Sc
cure in its overwhelming majority. The
consequence is that though amongst the
youngest of the States Kansas ranks them
all in reputation for venal and corrupt
politicians. Ii is needless 10 recapitulate
the open and outrageous practices of its
Federal and State officials, which have
given To IL the name of the rotten COM
monwealth. They are known 10 all the
country over. and have brought the blush
of shame TO the cheek of many an honest
kansan.
But it is not alone in reputation that the
State Las suffered. These corruptions and
bargains and sales of officials have eaten
into the very vitals of its material pros
perity. Local rings have fattened off the
substance of the people, and State treasur-
ers have hazarded their hard earned taxes
in unlawful speculations. Federal rings
have placed in jeopardy the homes of
thousands. and from one end of the State
to the other the people have been plumber
ed to enrich Radical officials and their fol-
lowers. These practices are fast sapping
the Likelihood of the people. and al last
they have arisen in their might and deter
mined TO rid themselves ofthe plunderers.
Stern necessity alone has induced them to
lay aside their preiudices and partisanship
for the time being and unite in one effort
for common defense against the plumber
ers. They gladly welcome any movement
that bids fair 10 relieve them of the present
corrupt dominant party. and hence the
union of all the elements of opposition TO
