General McCIelIan,s Deatn.

Newark, Oct. 30-Gen. Geo. B. Nc.
Clellsn, ex-commander of tie arpy of
the United States, died suddenly yester
day morning at $40 o'clock from exhaus-

neuralgia Of the heart, at his home on
Orange Mountain. Though be had COM

only bouyant spirits. but buoyant,
youthful agility. Therefore when
he began about three weeks ago
to feel pains of the heart
neither he nor his medical man, DR..
Seward, of Orange, nor any of his family
regarded the matter as serious. He
and every one else believed that the
troublesome malady was either gone for
good, or at least for a long time. In that
belief the general ordered his carriage
yesterday morning, drove to Orange,
accompanied by his only daughter, saw
several gentlemen on business, and
made an appointment with one of them
for eleven o'clock to-day. He returned
home in excellent spirits, ate heartily OF
MS meal hours and returned to rest.
About eleven o'clock the pains returned
and a messenger on horseback was
dispatched down!the hill for the doctor,
who came back with the least
possible delay. When he entered the
bedroom of the general he found his
patient in extreme agony. The parox-

homeopathic remedies which the skill of
the doctor suggested were no more eff

piled by the intelligent affection of
Gen. McClellan's wife and daughter, who
had ministered to hun increasingly from
the first alarm. For four hours he suf-
fered most excruciating agony. About
D O'CLOCK there was a change. The
eyes OF the patient began to grow
brighter and his face, that had been
white with pain, began to recover it's
usual ruddy hue. He gave o long deep
sigh OF relief. smiled family and said:

but too true. The general then raised

semi.LacaI CInn,n~s,

Redheld JournRl: The indications are
that the Chicago-& Northwestern and
the Milwaukee s. st. Paul railroads will
unite in constructing a bridge across
the Missouri river somewhere in the vi
cinlty of q line directly west of Redfield.
Mr.. Trip, the Milwaukee company's
attorney, recently purchased a tract of
land in the vicinity of Fairbank. Tt is
also maintained that the Chicago &
Northwestern is largely Interested in
real estate at that point. 1t is further
maintained that a much better crossing
can be had at Fairbank, or thereabouts,
than at Pierre, Chamberlain or Yankton.
SoundiDgs have been made and it is
said, rock bottom is found near Fairbank.
Besides this advantage, the road would
traverse q far better section of country
en- route to the Hills by crossing at this
point than at Pierre or Chamberlain.
Washington correspondence Bismarck
Journal: No man from Dakota has
made a more favorable impression here
than Maratta. The president said be-
fore appointing him: "Maratta, you
are the kind and style of a man we want
in the democratic party" When he or
dered the appointment, he simply en-
phasized what he had already said. The
selection and appointment were wise. I
have seen and known all about Maratta
since he has been here. He is one of the
very few men who won't drink nor do
any c%arousing when he is away from
home. That's the kind of man I like.
M. u. Mccormack, of Grand Forks, was
defeated for the marshalship, and bears
his defeat like @ man. He was Maratta's
most formidable competitor, and was
the first to learn and announce the good
news to Dan. 1t was a very good natur-
ed fight for that office, between two OF
the best democrats in the territory.
There was rivalry, but no jealousy be.
tween them.
Hon. HI. M. Day looks gloomy enough
over the prospect of the appointment OF
Ziebach. He knows that the secretary
OF the interior and the president are in
favor of the Scotland citizen and cannot
understand why the appointment is de.
layed. I know. The president is not
ready to make a removal there, and does
not believe that sufficient cause has been
shown for action in the matter. Then
another thing: Bartlett Trip has been
offered the governorship-and declined
it. I'm giving it to you straight, and
don't you forget it. MI. Trip is not
only brilliant, but wise. He is too great
a man with too great possibilities to set
tie down into the rows and rabies which
are attendant upon the g~oyernorship.
He is q peaceful man, and essentially a
man of peace. Whoever is governor of
the territory of Dakota must be a man
who can afford to quarrel and multiply
enemies. MIR. Trip is too much of a man
of peace for that. The chief justice OF
Dakota will be Bartlett Trip. That Is
an Office which he will accept. 1t is in
line with his profession and aspirations,
and would not clash with his friendship,
nor mar his popularity. 1t is an office
which he can afford to accept and which
I have optimistic reason for believing he
| will accept.
