The CAuiNET.-The Inaugural has been well re-
ceived Jacob Barker and his friends are again In
high spirits. They say Il fits his platform exactly
Il mirrors very plainly the OF the administra
ton, and re.afirns the doctrines held by General
Taylor during the canvass. There Is no uiirasm In
Il, nor can discern much in the general conlpex-
lon of the Cabinet. Mr. Clayton is, perhaps, as un-
exceptonable 10 the democrats as any man in the
wing party. He has no personal enemies. He Is
liberal gentleman and patriot. Besides, he comes
from State always faithful 10 the compromises Of
the Constitution, and may safely be trusted with our

MR. pENRosM,

lhe cnrplng OF fhe oPpoAtion press so'
Pennsylvania al this gentleman, appears to
be part Of theirlii blood We do not
know what they would do for material TO
live upon, IL Mr.. Penrose was not in the
land ofthe living. They never let him alone
even when in private life; and now that he
is once more in public lie, their delight
is unbounded at having such target at
which they can speed their tela sine iciu.
II is with no little pleasure that we turn
from these lbellers Of man whom they can
not appreciate, or whom, if they do, they
would destroy, because Of his superiority To-
them, to what friend says Of him. The
leading journal Of his old Senatorial District,
the Carlisle Herald and Expositor, informs
US, that he represented that portion Of the
State in the Pennsylvania Senate for eight
years, and that on one occasion, in 1889,
he got the largest majority ever given to a
Wing in that District. The Herald and Ex
positor thus enlarges upon his recent APP
pointment to be Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury, and we quote the article for the
purpose Of showing TO our friends in the
other States the wisdom and propriety Of his
selection by the Administration for his pre-
sent post.
G. u. PENResE, ESQ.
The announcement of the appointment OF Charles
B. Penrose, Esq. as Assistant Secretary OF the
Treasury, and his acceptance of the trust, was
ceived in borough with general feeling Of warm
and sincere qualification. Although Mr.. Penrose has
not been for some time resident amongst rs, yet
tho attachment Of former years. when as the public
spirited citizen and the distinguished representative
Of our character and interests at Harrisburg he en-
joyed so deserved popularity, is yet wurm and
strong, and our community is still accustomed to
look upon him rs one of its own, and 10 regard with
just pride the distinctions which are conferred upon
him. cordial expression Of this feeling followed
the announcement his recent appointment. Upon
fihe incoming Of Gen. Harison's administration in
ls4O, Mr. Penrose was promptly invited to high
place In its councils, Solicitor OF the Treasury

csion Of difficult questions which he was daily
called upon to examine in that department. elected

lie performed It's duties until superseded In place by
| the Polk administration. Il is within our knowl-
edge that his former and present place were promptly
offered to his choice, immediately upon the organi-
zaiion of President Iaylor's Cabinet. The post Of
Assistant Secretary Is second In importance 10 but
few In the government and the tender oft TO Mr. PEN
rose Is therefore mark OF high appreciation, by the
new Administration, of his character and talents.
The post Is one which gives him partial charge Of
Pennsylvania interests, which lie has so long man
fully defended, and to which we cannot doubt he
will continue TO exhibit ny warm devotion. And
we MS little doubt he will discharge Its duties with
usefulness to the country and honor to himself,
