The rshIp--EOmInNtIOn of Gov
Foreman.


The Senatorial question which has
been exciting good deal OF interest
for few weeks past was finally and
decisively settled yesterday by II caucus
of the Republican members OF the
IIPgislatur6.
Mr.. Edwards, of Marshall, ,inirOuuc-
cd resolution setting forth the relative
strength of parties in tho Legislature
and affirming that the interests of the
Republican party did not require
caucus, but that on The other hand lis
harmony would be promoted by leaV-
ing tho field open TO the several cnndl-
dates; and proposing an adjournment
without nomination. The resolution
was voted down by a decided majority.
Captain Smith, of KanAwha, nomina-
tod Governor BOreman. Mr.. Phelps
on behalf OF the Third District said that
District had no candidate to present.
The Governor was the only gentleman
whose name was brought forward, and
on the motion of DR.. Pinnell, of Upshur'
his nomination was made unanimous.
The caucus was not in session in all
The election will take place Tuesday
next, at which time the election of Gov.
Foreman is matter of course, it being
already virtually accomplished by this
nomination. We hear 1t said His tx
cellency will resign AS Governor before
the election takes place, in order to re-
lieve his friends of all embarrassment
nj Of
his eligibility which has been raised;
but of this we are not definitely ad-
visch. In this event MIR. Framework,
the President OF the Senate, would be-
come Governor for the remainder OF the
term. II would then become necessary
for the Senate to choose another presid-
ing officer. This combination of cir
cunstnnces would raise some nice
question, which have not before been
raised in this State. For example,
whether there would he vacancy in
the Senate OccasiOned by Mr.. Farms
worth's promotion to the Executive
Chair, or whether he would be Senator
and Governor at the same time, and
would return to his place in
the Senate upon the accession
of Governor Stevenson. This in-
wolves the question also whether the
gentlomen who might be chosen TO sue
coed Mr.. FarnswOrth in the Senatorial
chair would he President or only Pre-
sident pro tcmpOrc of tho Senate. We
suggest these points so that our friends
can look into the presidents little
and know what 10 do in the cOntin.

GEN. GRANT stated Tuesday night to
one of his friends, that he had not
preached the subject of his Cabinet Hp-
pointments TO II single person anywhere
in tho country, and that he had not di-
rectly or indirectly indicated to any body
what gentlemen would DO invited to
become members of the Cabinet. This
il a conclusive answer to individuals
who are asserting that Grant has limited
to three or four favored persons that
this man or that man has been select
ed for some of the places. One citizen
of Massachusetts and another of New
York, who inform their friends conf
dentially that Cabinet positions are at
their disposal, would seem, therefore, to
be lnboring under delusiOn.

CONSUMPTION OF MEAT.-The con
sumption of meat in France and Eng
land is computed as follows:
France consumes 9IO, 900 tons OF meat
annually, while the English devour
!, ego. 600 tons, or 75O 600 tons more,
notwithstanding tho fact that the popu-
lation of France exceeds that of Great
Britain by mt least seven millions OF
persons. Were 1t possible TO ascertain
correctly the quantity of animal flesh
eaten and wasted in the United States,
there is little doubt that it would ex-
coed the aggregate of both France and
England, for it is notorious fact that
no people on the face OF the globe eat
and waste so much as the Americans.
