CABINET MAKING.PkUmors sufficiently to bo

v-- rth repeating areThat Hou. Wm. II. Barouiu, Chairman of

Vr National Democratic Committee, is veryt.. dous for a place, and his friends are work-s' ' hard to gratify his desires.

'hat Gov. Pattison, of Pennsylvania, hasj,. . boon offered a place.

'. hat the only man, so far, ho has really1 n offered a pface is Senator Bayard.

.That Senator Lamar says he will not accepti 'ace for several reasons, one being that he ishu porting Ir. Honey, of Mississippi, for thej.'.tceof Postmaster-Genera- l.

That Hon. DaniclMaiminghasaoodchancooi being Sccretarv of the Treasury.

That in all probability Mr. Cleveland willxiot determine upon his appointments untilufter he arrives in Washington.

That Senator Garland, of Arkansas, lias beenSelected for .Attorney-Genera- l.

That Senator Jonas of Louisana, has beenchosen for Postmaster-Genera- l.

That Mr. Cleveland intends a substantialrecognition of the Independents.

During the week a delegation of Indianians,Ji-ad- by Representative Lowery. visited Mr.

'icveland and urged or McDonald fora place in the Cabinet. Mississippi Congress-r.ie- n

pressed Representative Money for Postma-

ster-General. A delegation from Virginiavged Representative Barbour for a place; Ten-r- .

y, and concurred in all the eulogies upon thevarious candidates.

.T. S. C. Blackburn, of Kentucky, does not1 ilieve that William C. Whitney will have a

!.icein the Cabinet. "I am confident thereill not be a single man in bis Cabinet who:11 have to be introduced to a Nation of 60,- -

The corps made a historical visit to Bull Runin October, 1833, and last May to Fredericks-burg, Chanccllorsville, the Wilderness andSpottsylvauia. Both were successful for theobject sought, and many availed themselves ofthe time to visit thoso battlefields. No doubtthe same will be done when they visit Gettys-burg.

THE SWAIM COURT-MARTIA- L.

Gen. Swaim's troubles are not by any meansat an end. The findings of the court-'marti- al

on the charges preferred in connection withhis transaction with Bateman are still in pro-cess of review, and tho verdict has not yet beenpromulgated, but a new trial has been begunon charges preferred by , whoaccuses tho Judge Advocate-Genera- l of draw-ing pay for forago for horses which he didn'thave, and rendering false accounts to the Gov-ernment. The trial was begun last week bythe same court-martia- l, except that Gens. Terryand Rochester were excused and their placestaken by Gen. W. P.Carliu, of the 4th Inf., andCoL Thomas G. Baylor, of the Ordnance Corps.After the court had convened a certificatefrom Ass't-Snr- g. O'Reilly was read to the effectthat Gen. Swaiuvs physical condition wouldprevent his appearance before tho court forsome days, when the courtook a recess untilthis week.

"O, BREATHE IT NOT."The revelation is made that Senator Edmunds

is passionately fond of onions. ."It is simplyawful," says a lady who goes camping withhim and his family every year. " When hostarts off for his holiday in tho woods, he hasan enormous supply of onions from the storesprovided for the trip, and then every farm-house that he comes to he wants to stop andbuy more onions, until every one feels asthoughhe belonged to an onion caravan. Whenho is in camp his morning meal is an onionand a Graham cracker; for his luncheon hetakes an onion and a Graham sandwich, andhis dinner consists of meat and onions."

TRIAL OF COL. MORROW.The trial of Lient-Co- l. A. P. Morrow, of the

6th Cav., was concluded List week, and the pro

ceedings of tho court, with tho sentence, arenow being reviewed by tho Assistant Judge-Advoca- te

General. Tho very many friends ofthe Colonel will be glad to learn that tho sen-tence is probably as light as it was in tho powerof the court to inflict. It is believed that itwill amount to no more than an official repri-mand, and will carry with it no deprivation ofraukorpay. This is pleasant to learn, for thereis but one opinion in regard to the case, andthat is that Col. Morrow is much more sinnedagainst than sinning.

THE INAUGUBATION.The second general order issued by Depart-

ment Commander Brooks calls the attention ofthe comrades to the dedication of the Washing-ton Monument on the 21st, and requests themto bo in readiness to participate in the cere-monies. The following order of processionshews that the Grand Army of tho District hasbeen given an honorable place in tho proces-sion :

LicuSVGcn. P. H. Sheridan, Marshal of thoDay, with a Chief of Stall' and Aid

from every Stato and Territory.The Military Escort :

Brigade of Artillery.Brigade of Infantry.

Naval Brigade.Battalion of Marines.

Chartered Military Organizations.The Grand Army of the Republic.

Then follows tho civic procession, whichconsists of the Congressional Commission,Members and of the Joint Com-

mission for tho Completion of the Monument,tho Engineer of the Monument and detail ofworkmen, the Washington Monument Society,the President of tho United States and theOrator of tho Day, President and ct

of tho United States,of tho United States, Judges of tho

Supremo Court, the Diplomatic Corps, Govern-ors of States and their respective Staffs, theSenate and House of Representatives, tho Com-

missioners of tho District of Columbia, Societyof Cincinnati, the Masonic Fraternity withother organization's which officially contributedstones or money for the erection of the Monu-ment, citizens of States and Territories withcivic organizations from those States, othermilitary organizations, the Fire Departmentof the District of Columbia and visiting fire-men.

Commanders of other Departments are speci-ally requested to communicate to these Head-quarters any action of their Posts contemplat-ing a visit to this city on Feb. 21 or March 4next.

COL. FEED GBANT.President Arthur recently tendered Col.

Fred Graut the appointment to a vacancy intho Pay Department of the Army, with therank of Major. Col. Grant promptly wrote thePresident declining the nomination ; giving ashis reason, that if he should return to theArmy ho could never hope to pay his debts, inwhich he had been involved by the Grant &Ward failuro in New York. These debtsamount to several million dollars, and whilehis friends consider his declination of the ap-pointment commendable, some of them regardhis course as somewhat Quixotic. Practicallythey deem it very improbable that ho will overbe able to clear off such a load of debt as Wardmanaged to load upon him, whether he goesiuto the Army or remains out of it. The Colo-

nel thinks he ought to try, any way, believingthat he may bo able to accomplish what othershave done even under poorer prospects thanpresent themselves to him.

QUALIFICATIONS FOB A SENATOR.Senator Xenna, of West Virginia, is the

youngest member of the body. He is a tall,brawny rustic in appearance. A story was toldby Gen. Anson G. McCook a day or two agothat brings to light a new quality in a Senatornot always considered in a political contest. Itwill ho remembered that when Kenna ran forCongress the last time, in 1882, the election wasbo close that for two or three days it was uncer-tain whether or not ho had been elected. Somedays after tho election an old backwoodsmancarrying a squirrel rifle walked into a littleWest Virginia town, and made a bee-lin- o forthe Post-Offic- e. Going straight to the Post-master with an anxious fuce, ho said, " Wo'veJiearn up our way that they've beat this manKinney. I've come down from my place, 20miles back, to see. It would bo a great pity,for he's the best shot that ever drawed a beadin these mountains."

TIIE PASSING OF THE HEATHEN.Col. Bob In'gersoll is about' to declare a truce

with the priests and priestcraft of this country"and pack his goods for a five years tour ofEurope with his family. Ho says he is able todo this out of the profits of the famous Dorseycattle ranch, of which he owns one-sixt- h. Lastweek the company which owns tho ranch metin this city and organized by tho election ofHon. John B. Ally, of Massachusetts, as presi-dent, S. W. Dorsey vice-preside- Ex-Go- v.

Hadley of Arkansas manager. Tho ranch is60 by 90 miles in extent, which gives an areaof 5,400 square miles, and lie3 in ColfaxCo., N. M. It was originally capitalized at$2,000,000, but is so profitable as to be believedto be worth several times that sum. Ingcrsollestimates his share of tho profits at $100,000 ayear

"thbift, thbift, hobatio!"The arrangements for Teaping a pecuniary

harvest out of the crowds that will flock to theinauguration go on apace. One man, with thotrue modern spirit of organization, has alreadyrented 10 halls, in which ho proposes to lodgo5,000 people. Ho has contracted for 3,000 cotsand 2,000 mattresses. Ho will charge lodgersfrom $1.25 to $2 a day, and for both board andlodging from $2.75 to. $3.50 a day. Each lodgerwill have a cot or mattress, a towel and blanket,but will have to furnish his own hair brushes,combs and tooth brushes. Every body who hasa window on the line of march is renting it atprices that range from $10 to $50. Ono manoffers to rent 40 seats at the corner of Ninthstreet and Pennsylvania avenue at $5 apieco.

HIS EATING AND DBINKING.A man who knows tho President-elec- t inti-

mately says in regard to his table habits:u Cleveland is liko Gens. Grant and Shermanin his tastes. None of tho threo care verymuch what they eat, so long as it is plain andwell cooked. Ho is a fairly good drinker; sothat the table-nicnag- e will not be an ice-wat- er

one, but his drinking is ruaiuly beer, thoughhe relishes a cocktail now and then."

I hear that Senator Mahono has everythingin good 6hapc for his nomination for Governorof Virginia, with Henry D. Wise as Lieutenant-Governo- r.

SENATOEIAL DAMON AND PYTHIAS.Tha report comes, and seems to bo accepted

with about as much credence as most of thosereferring to the composition of the Cabinet, thatSenator Bayard has said that ho would preferthat a place in the Cabinet bo given to SenatorPendleton, of Ohio, instead of himself, as hethinks tho cultured author of the Civil Servicelaw should by all means be at the head of theDepartment of State. If this be true, it is anunexpected revelation of fraternal love betweentwo Senators, who, to say tho least, nover at-tracted attention by their friendliness to eachother on the floor of tho Senate.

PERSONAL.Among the callers at The National Trib-

une during the week was an old prison chum,J. E. Wilkinson, formerly of tho 99th Ohio,now postmaster at Sidney. Comrade Wilkin-son was taken prisoner at Chickamauga andretained in tho hands of tho enemy till thoclose of tho war, goiug through tho experi-ences of Dauville, Belle Isle, AndersonvilloandFlorence. Ho is an active G.A.R. man, andono of tho best citizens that any community canhave.

Hoar, of Massachusetts, is the worst Btoryteller in the Senate.

Philetus Sawyer, of Wisconsin, says tho leastof any Senator.

Senator Bayard is famous for his terrapin,which he cooks himself.

President Arthur's favorite flower is the nowrose La France.

Gen. McClellan, if he cannot got into theCabinet, would liko to be sent to Franco.

HON. JAMES LAIRD, OF NEBRASKA,is not recovering from his broken leg as fast ashe and his friends hoped. Though able to setup, ho is still confined to his room, but can en-joy his papers, books and cigars.

VISITORS.Among the visitors at The National Trib-

une office this week was Mr. Wm. J. Watson,of Nashville, Tcnu. During tho war ho servedin tho 183th Pa., and soon after the close ofhostilities went to Nashville, where he engagedin tho paving and contracting business on alarge scale, and is to-da- y ono of the foremostbusiness men in that section. Ho is Comman-der of the G.A.R. Postal Nashville.

consin, is described by a Washington gentlemanwho knows him as a man of about medium size,

with a 6light figure, a smooth-shave- n, plain,unprepossessing face and tho manner of a pro-vincial who has not seen much of life. He wastho attorney of the West Wisconsin Railroadup to a short time beforo his election. Ho hasbeen identified with the corporation interestsof Wisconsin for years, and was backed by thoseinterests in his strugglo for the Senatorship.His homo is in tho small Town of Hudson, Wis.His principal business headquarters, however,has been in St. Paul. Ho has a good war recordand is said to havo fair business ability. Yetho has done nothing to deserve his high pro-motion, lie is only auothcr added to the rankand filo of the corporation Senators. He is intho neighborhood of 59 years of age.

The news of tho proposed law prohibitingforeigners from holding real estate in the UnitedStates produced consternation in Great Britainuntil it was telegraphed from this side of thewater that no one in this country cxpocted thobill to become a law or deemed it practicable orlikely to bo enforced if it should.

Tho Senate has lent a helping hand to B. F.Butler in his financial troubles, by rentingfrom him his house on Capitol Hill, at $10,000a year, for committee-room- s.

At the regular weekly meeting of the In-auguration Committee ou Monday night last,Gen. H. W. Slocum was unanimously electedGrand Marshal of tho parado.

THE ENCAMPMENTS.MINNESOTA.

The Encampmont of the Department ofMinnesota, which was hold on tho 28th and29th of last month, was very largely attended,and a success in every particular. The follow-ing officers were chosen for the ensuing year:

Department Commauder E. L. Becker, ofGarfield Post, No. 9, St. Paul.

Senior Vico Commander Wm. Thomas, Wil-kin Post, No. 10, Mankato.

Junior Vico Commander George S. Oaufield,Pap Thomas Post, No. 30, Brainerd.

Medical Director H. W. Brazio, M. D., Geo.N. Morgan Post, No. 4, Minneapolis.

Chaplain Rev. J. M. Brown, of Owatonna.Council of Administration Gon. Pope,

Mankato, Thos. Montgomery, St.Peter; L. G.Nelson, Kasson; P. Starkweather,St. Paul, and R. C. Livingston, Spring Valley.

Representatives to Portland At Large, Gen.Pope, Mankato; Alternato-at-Larg- e, JamesCannon, Mankato. Delegates, F. S. McDonald,St. Paul; C. C. Whitnoy, Marshall; M. H. Ses-

sions, Minneapolis; W. F. Sutherland, Austin ;E. Simonton, St Paul, and R. W. Jackliu, Watcrville. Alternates Byron, of Minneapolis;Johnston, of Glencoe; Skinner, of Minneapo-lis; Saunders, of St. Paul; Mero, of Ortonville,and Scarf, of Winona.

The successors to Department CommanderBabb and Staff of tho G.A.R. of Minnesota areall men of records, and, like their predecessora,workers. Commander S. L. Beckor, of St,Paul, with a fine soldier record, has been oneof tho hardest and most efficient G.A.R, work-ers in that city. Ho was promoted from SeniorVico Commander, sharing the reward for thegreat work accomplished by the out-goin-g ad-

ministration. His of Col. H.A. Norton, as Chief of Staff, is ono of the proofsthat he starts in on a year of continued, deter-mined progress for tho organization.

Wm. Thomas, of Mankato, tho new SeniorVice Commander, an enthusiastic G.A.R, work-er, has a remarkable record for personal servicein tho war. He had an eyo shot out, and byanother wound ho lost a log.

Geo. S. Canfield, the Junior Vice Commander,is undoubtedly one of tho youngest living sol-

diers of the war. He went out in 1861, enlist-ing Aug. 24, 1861, at tho ago of 12, as a drum-mer boy, and was too small at the end of threeyears' service to be in tho votoranservice. He was in all the battles of the Armyof tho Cumberland from Perry ville to MissionRidge, including Stone's River, Chickamauga,and Lookout Mountain. At the same time heis ono of the oldest G.A.R. men, having been anactive member since 1867. In 1831 he, as Assist-ant Adjutant-Genera- l of Ohio, assisted in thegreat work of that Department, and saw it growfrom a membership of 1,850 to 8,700 in oneone year.

The remaining officers and Staff and StatoCouncil are all apparently chosen for work,and the now administration caunot fail to bo asuccess.

NEW YORK.The Grand Army State Encampmont opened

at 10 o'clock on the morning of the 4th inst. atUtica, N. Y., with an address of welcome byMayor Sherman, of the city, followad by a se

Tho Now Orleans Exhibition.The condition of affairs at the New Orleans

Exhibition is by no means encouraging, andthe exhibitors are complaining that tho agree-ments mado with them havo not been compliedwith on the part of the management. OnSaturday last the executive committee of thoAssociation of United States Commissioners ofStates and Territories at tho exposition, calledupon tho President and presented astatement oftho affairs of the-- exposition, together with amemorial to Congress, which he was asked totransmit with his approval.

Tho financial statement, which representsan expenditure of over $2,000,000, shows apresent indebtedness of over $319,000. Of thisover $20,000 is due for premiums awarded. Thepoint made in tho memorial is that the Statesand Territories which havo exhibits, and everyone but Utah is represented, look to Congressto see carried out tho arrangement for tho ex-

hibition of their goads until May 31, as pro-vid- ed

in tho act extending aid and authorityto the enterprise. Tjieyhave not been paid theproportion of the appropriation alloted to themby the management-l-$50- 6 to each.

It is stated that upless an appropriation ismado the exposition will close within fourweeks. There are nianyimprovements yet tobo made in tho grounds and buildings that areabsolutely necessaryr The sanitary arrange-ments are totally inadequate and tho buildingsare not yet lighted, though the whole plant forEdison's lights is on tho ground. Tho manage-ment owes this company $25,000. It is statedthat the 1,200 private exhibitors had alsoorganized, and a committee of them will prob-ably soon arrive in Washington with anothermemorial to Congress.
