ediLorially ssys: Itts notgeneraly known
that General Mcclellan was second
couin Of Lord Clyde: Upon the death Of
his only sister, Miss Alicia Campbell, who
expired suddenly intestate in December,
1868, General Mcclellan and Peter Stew
art Macliver, as next OF kin, claimed and
succeeded to the entire fortune OF that
lady, which comprised the moiety OF the
large residue OF Lord Clyie's estate. His
LoTdship, aFho sympatbizsd deeply with
the Confederate cause, was not aware Of
mis- blood relationship to General Nc
CIe!Ian. whose military strategy he IN
sparIngly criticised and condemned. Miss
Campbell was also unscquainted with the
two gentlemen who, through her delay in
making will, became her legal heirs. On
Christmas day, 1868, she said to friend,

making his will until his last illness. The

General Atkins, OF the Indian Bureau

greater portion OF the session. = He visits
the territory to consult, with Chief Bushy-

intruders by the natives.
The Chief is in no way alsrmed atthe op-
position which is manifested to his admin

said that the leases in question were to
the advantage Of the Cherokees; that the
rentals were paid promptly; that the
money was badly needed and being ex-
pended in new school houses and other
features OF civilization, and that they had
an uudoubted right to make the leases.

LONDON, Nov. 5.-Lord Salisbury de.
llvered speech in Victoria Hall, London,
last evening. He denied that the Tories
wished to tax cereals, but said that free
trade should not prevent an arrangement
OF duties in order TO place England on a
footing with other nations. 10 take q
hypothetical case. il Spain refused to ed.
nit English manufactures, bu. admitted
those OF other Countries, the raising Of the
duties on Spanish wines by England
would not be an infringement on free
trade principles, but would be justitiable
retaliation. Nor should England be pre-
vented from altering her tariffs in order to
benefit her colonies. The speech is con-
sidered bold bid for Protectiouist votes.

JUBILANr DEMUCRArs.

Tho Ex. Cor fedora Uttica Holders Loud In
Their Expressions of Joy.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The feeling in
the Government department to-day was
one OF great jubilAtion over the Demo-
cratic successes in New York and Virginia
Tuesday. There was more outspoken
Democracy to-day than has been heard
since 1861. The x-Couiederates who have
secured soft positions under the Govern
msnt which they tried for four years to
destroy sore LOUD in their expressions Of
oy at the success Of Lee and his uucles
saddle in-ViSgtnia One e& Colonel said:
"AIahone, thank God, is now dead polite
ally, and will not be able to corrupt the
negroes any more
It was suggested that the corruption and
fraud had been GU the part Vi the Demo.
Gratis, aud that when these means had
failed q resort had been m .ls TO the shot
gun. "That'S all right " said the ex;
colonel; "kilting Is the only thing that will
teach the niSgefs hos 10 b"htVe
Colon! Lamont sail that the President
WAS much gratifed at the success in New
York, and rhst he had been in favor of
Hill's nomination and election. The de.
partment officials who went u New York
to vote, and they are very numerous,
were lhGr,nVhly satish"d ov4r the result
and considered it an endorsement OF the
Presidents policy. One OF them was asked
how he could figure that out, as Hill was
the most prominent representative OF the
spOils system III the STATE. "Oh, thst's
sothinv,r WAS the reply; "the Damocrats
Eon j victory. The President isa Dem3-
era. aad was elected on The Democratic
ticket, anu the victory yesterday was an
endorsement ol the man whom We elected
last year"
Many Republicans are seriously dIsap-
pointed at the result in New York, Whlle
others think that the Mugwump element
will now disappear, and there viii be 10
more free lances in politics; that the par
ties will be s:EicLly divided, and that tnls
will have healthful influence in the
future. THE lesson OF yesterday" said a
prominent Republican, "aeems 10 be that
the country is willing thst the Democrats
shall have the Administration, but that
they have determined that there shall be-
Republicans on puard in the Legislature
and in the Senate"
In regard to Virgins, gentleman who
has been TOT two years engaged in exam
lining the mineral resources OF the State
said that ",lIe election Of Lee will be the
most serious blow to the prosperity Of the
State that conld possibly occur. With
resources OF iron, coal and copper equal
to ii not greater than any Stale in the
Union, she has no means for developing
them, and now you will not bs able to get
a dollar Of Northern capital to 90 into the
State for many years. |. Is very sad, for
Virginia was on the road 10 prosperity
through the progressive element that
supported Senator Malone"

THE WAR CLOUD.
King Milan still Remains BsIlIcOSS-Tho
Outcome Seems to bo war.

Outcome Seems to bs war.
LONDON, Nov. 5.-To.day's dispatches
from Russian, servian and Turkish capi-
tails do not modify the angry appearance
OF the Eastern war cloud. Though King
Milan's threat to throw division Of Ser
yiau troops across the Bulgarian frontier
to-day was not executed, the failure to
carry out the movement is apparently due
to reasons purely Ct military convenience.
At all events King Milau's disposition re.
mains bellicose as ever, as shown by the
language of the note telegraphed
from Belgrade to the powers, re-
fusing to disband the servian
troops uutil favorable action shall
have been taken upon Turkeys demand
for recognition OF the Porte's suzarain
rights over Roumelis and the restoration
OF the status quo with indemnity to Tur-
key for her military expenses. This seems
10 completely justify the impression noted
in these dispatches yesterday, that an un-
derstanding between Turkey and Servia
had been.etFected. The attitude OF Russia
remains most unc1mpromising. She has
notified the powers that notwithstanding
her acquiescence in the note advising the
Balkan principalities to disarm, she will
not permit the recovery OF Roumelia by
Turkey through armed intervention by
the porte. Unless some one or more OF
the interested Governments recedes from
its present stand, war would seem to be
the only possible Outcome OF the situa-
ton.

fishing Board OF Police and Fire Com
missioners met at the Public Building
again last evening. Messrs. 6. B. Caid
we'll, Waterhouse, List, Dobbins and Hof'
man were preseut, Mr.. Pickett being the
only absentee. Col. Caldwell, Chairman
OF the Committee, had prepared the out
lineot an ordinance OF forty sections, which
he read 10 the committee. Col Cald.
we'll has evidently devoted considers.
BILE time and study 10 this mat
ter; in fact it was absolutely necessary
to do this in order to getup an ordinance
that should embrace all the powers and
privileges now granted to the Police and
Fire Departments by their respective ordi-
nances, and further, 50 as not to conflict
with the charter or other legislative acts
relating to the city. The framework oil
the ordinance as prepared by Col. Cald-
well is lengthy, and OF course the ordi-
nance itself will be much longer.
1t provides for Board OF Commission
ers, three in number, who shall all be
elected at thesame time and serve for two
years. No member of this Board, or any
member Of either department, no mat.
ter how high or low q position he
shall hold, can in any way, directly or in.
directly, be connected with saloon, and
without allowing the Board to make it one
OF its rules it is set down as a section OF
the ordinance that no one employed in
either department shall enter saloon,
house Of i'll rePute or suspicious house
while in uniform unless 1t bs in
the discharge OF duty; and drink
ing while on duty is impera-
lively forbidden. A disregard Of these
sections is made sufficient cause for rs-
moval. Itis provided that men may be
suspended pending an investigation, or for
for disobedience OF Iules.
The Board is allowed to formulate rules
and regulations for the government OF the
men subject to confirmation by Council.
All employees in either branch OF the ser
vice must be able TO both read and write
the English language.
The Board, should Council adopt the
ordinance establishing it, would be do
Cided improvement over the present mode
Of running affairs, especially as regards the
police department, hut still it would not
be Just what is wanted by large mtiority
OF the citiz4ns ofboth parties. Ifsteai Of
the Board having the control 1t should
have, it will be moro in the nature of a
medium b9tween the Chief OF Police and
Council, and q copaictot authority would
bea thing not at all improbable to look
forward to. To give the Board the power
it ought to have legislative action would
be necessary. Tho matter is an interest
ing one and will doubtless be productive
OF many Council meetings.
