CnAMuEnsuuEd, December os.-Chum.
bersburg is the home OF Senator John Ste.
wart, the heroic leader Of the Independents
in the late campaign, and Of ex-Congress-
man William S. Stengcr, the prospective
Secretary Of the Commonwealth under
Governor Pattison. They stand abreast at
the front OF the bar, with only Representa-.
tive J. Mcdowell Sharpe rs their equal In
the profession in Southern PENNSYLVANIA,
Stewart and Sharpe are not national poll
ticians, although they have born the bur-
den and heut Of the day in their party
vineyards, but stenger is born politician,
and his skill, backed by his admitted
ability and unblemished character, has
given him signal success against adverse
maj0rities.
--STESGEK WILL co INTO THE CABINET.
As some doubts have been expressed in
the public journals about Mr.. Stenger's ap.
pointment and acceptance OF the Secretary.
ship OF the Commonwealth under Pattison,
| will give you the facts. He has been
rendered the Secretaryship by Governor
Pat!ison and has given his unconditional
acceptance. He accepted with the knowl.
edge that Mr. Cassiday will be his col.
league as Attorney General. Some press.
ure has been made upon Mr.. Stenger to
decline the position on the ground Of Mr..
Cassidy's appointment, but he has not
entertained it, and his acceptance has been
definitely determined and announced to
the new Governor. The selection OF Mr..
Stenger will be yerv generally acceptable
to the party in the State and specially
gratifyingto the people OF the Cumberland
Valley. He was thrice elected District
Attorney in this county against 4 Republi-
can majority; twice elected to Congress in
the district that defeated Judge Kimmell
and General Spear by six or seven hun.
dred, and twice defeated-once for Levis.
lAtnre in 1872 and again for Congress in
1878 by small majority.
NO SURRENDER IN STEWART.
Senator Stewart has been quietly labor
ing to catch up with his large law practice
since the election, and has had little to say
about politics. In common with the In.
dependent Republicans and the reform
element OF the Democracy, he is disap.
pointed in Governor Pattison's probable
Attorney General; but he takes no step
backward because Of any failure upon the
part OF the reform Governor to meet public
expectation. He is prepared and desires
to act with the Republican party, but be
will positively demand that the principles
declared by the Independents shall be DC.
cepted in good faith by the purity us Il con-
dition precedent 10 his cooperation with
the regulars. He is not ambitious tor
political preferment, and is not liable to be
tempted from his consistency by any pre-.
sumed advantage to himself. He still
hopes that the Independents will control
the Senate, notwithstanding the boasts Of
Cameron, and he will be faithful even
among the faithless should enough sur.
render to give Cameron the organization
OF the body. "T = I'I'

subscription conditional, each 81 900 Of the

Turnpike company when the company had
itself expended $1,000 on the road In
February 1874 an investigation was in-
stituted, and it was found that s., 900 Of the
sounty's subscription had been paid over,
although only s4,S0l IS, instead Of $4,000,
as required by the conditions Of
the appropriation, had been paid
by the company itself. This state Of af.
'airs led the county 10 refuse to pay over
the balance Of its Subscription. On May j.,
1874, however, tho Board adopted a ,reso-
luton appropriating $1,000 additional to
the road, on condition that the Turnpike
Company would expend $1,000 additional
otits own funds, and agree to pay all out.
