General Mcclellan.

The correspondent of the Chicago Times,
ia one of his late letters states that General
Grant had insisted on the reinstatement of
General Mcclellan TO a position OF active
service in the army, and that The President
had reluctantly consented. General Grant
has taken pains 10 ascertain the wishes OF
the army on this point during the last few
days, and he has found that there is q
unanimous desire on the part OF officers
and men .or the restoration of :heir beloved
chief He sees that the army is in the
highest state of efficiency. tits impossible
for him to lead that army in person, and he
has never seriously thought OF doing so, no
matter what may be said TO the contrary.
Another correspondent denies :his asser-
tion, which is more probable, as follows {:
'sThe army will move during the early part
OF May-not before. 1t is the wish of Gen.
Gran, 10 give General Mcclellan promi-
neui position, but the Administration have
insisted upon overruline his wishes, and
promise him carte blanche in everything
else, provided he will not insist upon this
point" The Administration have great
dread Of General Mcclellan, and its all bosh
10 think of his recsiving command 81 the
present time. II we have another second
Bull Run, and want another Antietam light

The Sword Vote.

The sword vote of the New York Fair is
over, and ended as all anticipated il would.
Mcclellan had BY far tie greatest number
OF admirers; Grant the most votes. AT the
last momen. the administration party came
in with their Ten thousands. We are glad
the decision is thus. Nc cClellan is not al
lowed to use his sword The Administration
gives him no chance; they overnle every
officer who wishes 10 recall him to service,
aud Of what value lie q sword to him We
hope our Philadelphia Fair, if it has a
sword vote, will not have the foolishnoss TO
place the coniest upon the New York basis.
Let the aspirants for the sword be the Gen-
erals who wear the Administration spurs
Butler and Sickles, aud any one OF the nu-
merous Smith family Joshus T. Owens
and Charley Collins, Neal Dow, or Schehck
Greeley, who marshsls the three hundred
thousand, who are always so very anxious
10 get into Richmond. These are the men
10 be presented with swords their calibfe
is so very nearly equal that there will be an
exciting contest. Our vote, If il is not Civ
en- for John Pope, will be cast for Grierson,
or perhaps for Major General Napoleon
! Jackson Tecumseh Dana.
TIE New York Evening Express Tins sums
up the history of the affair:
'.The sword contest shows that General
| Grant beat in dollars and Mcclellan in num-
bers. -Four packages put into the Seven
teenih street box on Saturday contained far
more money than the large majority for
! Grant Tie vote tor Grant in secret in lour
hours was $50 .644 against SO, SAT voted in
| public in three weeks. In other words, the
open handed vote gave Mcclellan q major
ity OF 50 ass, while the secret vote, made
! up by large subscriptions, gave Gran, m a
io.ity Of 1892 over all. The sword yields
the pretty sum OF s44,963 The result was
expected by many who krew the secret
means to secure it. General Grant, de-
serving and successful officer, gains the
sword and General Mcclellan has Witnessed
| a new evidence OF the devotion of some
thousands of people to his name, lame and

because we contemplate an advance, but
because we wish our friends who are 10
arrears to settle up their accounts, which
in many cases arc of long sanding. At

not worth over half what they would
