GEN. MCCLELLAN DEAD.

Gen. George B, Mcclellan, ex-com-
mander of the army of the United
States, died suddenly of neuralgia of
the heart at his home near Orange,
N. j., on Thursday morning of last
week. Gen. Mcclellan was a brave
soldier, devoted patriot and clear
headed and sound statesman. His
death will be mourned and his men,
DRY respected by all true American
citizens. Circumstances conspired
against his success as a great mill
tary commander; but history will
accord him a place among the
bravest soldiers and most devoted
patriots. He was nearly sixty years
of age at the time of his death; but
had comparatively youthful ap
pearance.

A GLORIOUS VICTORY.
tuesday was a good day for de-

Tuesday was a good day for de-
mocracy. Wherever elections were
held throughout the union the re-
suit was large democratic gains. In
New York, where the republicans
were confident of an easy victory up
to the morning of election, Gov
Hill and all the other democratic
candidates are elected by handsome
maiorities. In Virginia, the only
other state where the result was In
doubt, the democratic state ticket
headed by Lee is elected by a ma
iority which will probably exceed
$4,000; while the legislature will be
largely democratic, thus insuring
the retirement of senator Malone.
The republicans carried Massachu-
sets, and other reliable republican
states by reduced majorities. In
Iowa, Larabee, the republican candi-
date for governor, has majority not
exceeding 5000.
Full returns from the elections
will be found on the first page of

iority in New York is not SO large
as there stat ed, the general result is
good enough.

We are in receipt of an extra copy
of The New York Sun of Friday,
Oct. 80, containing a long article
from a correspondent signing him
self &C. J." and attacking Post
master General Villas for his refusal
to pay over the subsidy of four hun
dred thousand dollars to the Pacific
mail steamship companies. This
article was very conspicuously mark
ed, and the paper was evidently sent
out by the steamship owners who
are endeavoring to enlist the SYM
pathy of the public in their behalf
by means of communications to The
Sun, the publication of which are
literally paid for probably at the
rate OF two or three dollars per line);
while The Sun editorially sustalns
the action of the postmaster general.
Doubtless thousands of extra copies
of the issue referred to above were
printed and sent broadcast over the
country, the steamship company
spool" footing the bill. That a
postmaster general should be voted
by congress the privilege of dispens-
ing to them from the public funds
an extra sum of four hundred thous-
and dollars, and should dare to re-
fuse to hand over the money, not
withstanding no occasion arose for
SO doing, is more than the steamship
owners can understand, and more
than they can quietly bear. The fact
that a government official dares to
antagonize any of the numerous
greedy monopolies, the chief aim of
whose existence seems to be to draw
subsidies from the public treasury
ought certainly to commend him
most strongly to public favor. To the
credit of the present administration
it can be said that its beut is to run
counter to monopolies i'll gener-
al, by exercising jealous care for
public interests. And if the people
are alive to their own interests they
will take no stock in the attempts
of subsidy beggars to prejudice pub
lie opinion against those who stand
between them and the public
treasury. In refusing to pay over
the 100000 subsidy Col. Villas
has prevented a most outrageous
steal, and congress and the people
will stand by him for so doing, all
efforts of the thwarted thieves to the
thwarted thieves to the contrary

Even the reputation OF being harhor of
refuge for duchess or countess in her dis
tres is tattering thing; and the Talherts,
especially Horace, felt pleased while laugh
ing at the absurd idea Perhaps it was for
this reason that Horace at last yielded to his
nieces solicitations and aStonishei her one
day by saying:
Beatrice, if YOU really mean TO keep that
child for a while, we viii engage a nurse
for it"
She said nothing, but gave Uncle Horace a
most grateful kiss. She must have grown
wondrously fond of the baby, as her eyes
were full of glad tears
That afternoon she drove into Breakdown

new and dainty raiment; nothing was too good
for him Horace and Herbert, who knew the

ing to carry her. Perhaps they felt rather
aggrieved that their aid had not been asked.
They dearly loved little shopping, and could
have chosen trouSeau or a layette with any
woman under the sun.
But the affair of the nurse;naid was pecu-
harly their own. If the Talberts had one
gift of housewifery above another, il was
their skill in engaging suitable servants.

brother knew that he would never have dis

blot and mutilate his fair balance sheet With
out word of protest was more than enough
compensation, and no doubt Herbert thought
the same, for peace was restored, and tho
matter never again mentioned.
The consequence was that, after the june

theory TO account for the way Ia which the
boy had appeared among them. He felt,
