WAsHIyGToN March 6.-The daily recurrence Of
the mention of the names of Senator Allison and
Senator KrkwOod during the last week, as possible
members of General Garfeld's Cabinet, has given
rise 20 the assumption. very annoying to the gentle
men named. that there rivalry between them
for Cabinet appointment Such an assumption Is
in no sense correct. They have been In constant
and harmonious consultation regarding the matter,
and have acted together in regard to every feature
of it. The offer of the position of Secretary OF the
Treasury to Senator Allison was matter of gratif-
cation to Senator KIrkwood, and its declination
upon personal grounds was subject OF regret. SEN
ator Kirkwoods promotion to the Cabinets heartily
approved by Senator Allison.
Ii has been assumed that the Hon. James f.

successor in the Senate, but this is not yet GER

A New Food Theory.

A German physician has started new
theory with regard to food. He maintains
that both the vegetarian and the meat-eater
are on the wrong track. Vegetables are
not more wholesome than meat, nor meat
than vegetables, and nothing is gained by
consuming a compound of both. What
ever nutritive qualities they may possess,
he says, are destroyed in great measure
by the process Of cooking. All food should
be eaten raw. If this practice were adopted
there would be little OF no illness among
human beings. They would live their APP
portioned time and simply fade away, like
animals in wild state, from old age. Let
those affected with govt, rheumatism and
indigestion, try for a time the effect Of a
simple, uncooked diet, such as oysters and
fruit, for instance. aud they will find ali
medicine unnecessary, and such rapid
improvement Of their health that they will
forswcar al cooked articles OF food st once
and forever Inter "orancc would also, it
is urged, no longer h,s the curse Of civilized
communities. The yea,ning for drink is
caused by the unnatura! abstraction from
what are termed 'solids' Of the aqueous
element they contain-uncoohed bsef, for
example, containing seventy or eighty per
cent, and some vegetables even larger
proportion, If water. There would. be less
thirst, and consequently less desire to drink
if our food were consumed in it's natural
state, without first being subjected to the
action of fire. There is q gentleman in this
city whose two young daughters, aged seven
and nine respectively, eat no cooked food,
and there are not two handsomer or health
Ter children in Carson.

GARFIELD's MAN.-The Lancaster
LHteitgencer says "Mr Garfield ap.
pears to be actively interesting himself
TO secure the election Of Republican
Senator from this State, and the strong
probability therefore is that that one
will be chosen. Garfeld's influence
will not only suffice to secure an elec.
tion, but it will be very likely to be
sufficiently potent to dictate the candi.
date. Mr. Cameron with Mr.. Garfeld's
help can have some one chosen who
will be agreeable to him and perhaps
the other faction, so aided, can do as
much for man of their choice. Pos.
sessing this strong influence, Garfield,
being shrewd man, will be pretty
sure to give his attention to securing a
Senator who will be faithful to himself.
without much regard to bis other afliIi.
atoms, Having been so long in public
life, he knows many Of the prominent
Republicans of Pennsylvania, and can

Congressman Glenni W .Scofield. which
is quite likely. II is certain, anyway.
that II any Republican is elected 6y

know that he owes his selection and

The SEVERE WEATHER.-An ex.
change says as harrassing as the Win

been felt to the utmost mainly in the
far West. Minnesota, whose isother.
NAL advantages have so long formed

ravages Leaving property out of the
question, human life has, in many
cases, swclled the list of depreciation
by frost and snow. Isolated farmers

munication with their sparse neigh.
bors, but in sections literally frozen in.

work Of the season. The snow drifts

very inferior family, and finally cul-

obscure person. This shameful busi.
ness has been surprisingly submit
ted TO by a decent people for over
a generation Of time. The voters of
other States look upon the spectacle
with amazement; but, until now, the
more the Pennsylvania masses secretly

by their vulgar masters. At last the

A HUGE JoB.-An exchange says
that the National Greenback party, OF
what is left of it, is to undergo a trans.
formation after the 4th of March. A
call will soon be issued for delegates
from every Congressional district in
the Union, to meet in Convention at
Chicago, there to form a new political
organization to be known as the Peo.

party, to bo laid down in a platform,
will be comprehensive enough to en-.
brace the suffering and despondent Of
every other organization in the coun.
try, Republicans, Democrats, Green.
hackers, Prohibitionists and anti Ma.
sons can all come in and be welcome.
1t is understood that Congressman
Weaver, Gillette and De La Matyr will
take the stump soon after the Peoples
party is formed and expound its prin.
ciples and aims from Maine to Califor.
mia. Well, there are some people who
never wear out. They can by turns
be Radicals, Modocs, Seventy-Sixers,
Greenbackers and Democrats, and then
they ripen into dictators and prime
leaders of party affairs, They may
be called "posies"-they bloom for a
while. but soon fade and vanish.

Messing that ceremony. On the floor
few wooden chairs were sandwiohed
in between the seats of members for
the accommodation of Senators, but
otherwise there was no indication that
any save the usual routine business OF
the House was to be transacted.
The indifference shown by theJnem,

FRA UDULENT PENSION

"There is a pension war of consider

The whole country is now interested
in Presdent-elect Garfield. He is tc
be the head of our Government for
four years, it he lives until the end Of
his term, and in such position the
nation is anxious that he will use the
power intrusted to him with wisdom
and without prejudice. We, of course
opposed the election of Mr.. Garfield
and we have not hesltsted to explain
that his public career has not been
such as to commend him to our conf
dence as President But he has been
elected, and it is but the plainest pub
lie duty of every journal in the land to
assist him in making bis ministry an
honorable and successful one. We do
not care who his Cabinet may be, SO
that they are honest and capable
While, of course, we seek no sort OF
political alliance with bis administra
ton, we deem it perfectly proper that
we should express our soicitude to
ward the Executive who will, in a
large degree, shape the political life of
the country for at least four years. 1t
is claimed for Mr.. Garfield that he is q
man of broad craftsmanship, but wheth
er he has the moral courage to carry
his own views in the face of fierce and
storming opposition is the grave ques
tion. He lacks neither knowledge nor
scholarship. He has brains and q
heart Will that weakness and vacil.
lation Of character, which has more
than once swayed him from the path
whittier his head and his heart directed
him, continue TO rule him2 If that is
to be master he is a lost man. If he
manfnlly overcomes il we have no ieaf
but that he will make the country a
good President, politics aside. In any
effort to stand by sGie principles of jus,
tice and right we believe he may safely
count upon the sympathy of every
Democrat in the South They are, Of
course, opposed to the essential doc.
trines Of his party, and will ever be
opposed TO them, but we have referred
rather to matters Of a non.parusan
character. We expect him to remain
Republican, but it is our sincere hope
that he may have right at the end
Of his term to say that his administra.
ton has been honest, honorable and
just, and we shall bc glad to congratu.
