If you cauiinagino a Scolch-l Irish I'resbyterian , with nil his othui | jualitics intensified by the ardor ots his vio\vn on baptism , you cnn behold ! Gon. Arthur's father. Ito \vns boruF ind educated about ] ) elfast , Ireland , ! find came to Canada , and thence , scek-g ing newer fields nnd larger congrega-l tions , crossed the American line , mult trhilo settled a few inilca cast uf St. | Albans , Yonngnt. Gen. Arthur was born in the township of Fairliold. TUB IIOlllIT OV HIS MIHTH. Probably his father had to recross the ] line to preach , nnd oven to reside , Kftor the general's birth ; nnd this has 'ed to some notion that the vices- ; resident was born in Canada , an ] idea which 1 think is to bo clashed ivith that of AVilkos Booth being still ; xlivo and Mr. Stanton having cut his throat. It is not rcasoiiablu tint a gentleman nwaro of his disabilities ihould take the oath as vico-prcsi- dent. Yet it is sometimes hard for non of itinerant , clerical parentage , born fifty years ago , to bo thoroughly ] rt.ccuratoabout their birthplace. Gen. Arthur's father probably lived in twenty different towns , nnd preached1 in about that many towns after the- ] 3on was born. The general drifts of liis residence was down the east side 3f Lake Clminpliiin to the foot of the lake nnd then in Southern Vermont , ] iround the field of JJctmingtoit andl aver into Now York State , nbout in the quarter of the Hoosae Tunnel , ind so on to Troy , Albany und | Schonectady. Tlio old man was called to the city jf Now York a few years before the ivar , and had quite n good churcli lioro called the Calvary IBaptist. Ht tvns not only n minister , hut an ] mthor , something of the style ol Disraeli's father. While Bon Dis raeli , the older , wrote ' the "Curipsi- ] iies of Literature , " ll'ov. Mr. William ( Vrthur wrote the ' 'Origin of Modern Names. " mi : r.vriiEn. About 1875 the old man died , be- ] lolding his son collector of the Port if New York and considerable of nj man in the councils of the radical re publican party. The benevolence , ! ivarmth of character and love of knowledge in William Arthur are of- ] en talked of by other clergymen nuil ) y some politicians hero. It is proba > lo that Gen. Arthur's mother was n Now England woman. Her nnmo in dicates it , both in the prenom and the surname Malvina Stono. Wil- iam and. Malvina Arthur had1 n good , big Yankee family , five daughters nnd two sons. Thc'Hecond son wont into the war , was a good officer and ! s'now major and paymaster in the regular service. Ho probably owes to liis brother his durable situation in the service. Not- much is known about the daughters. Clicslcr A. Ar thur has unquestionably been the center ter of the family for the past twenty years , and has given status to his father'as well as his father's children. As wo shall sco further , this son car ried the. Baptist proneher's stock into ono of tlio oldest families of Virginia. Like most clergymen , William Ar thur thought about the best ho could Jo for his children was to educate ) them. Preachers seldom acquire ] money unless they marry it , and Chester Arthur was sent to Union lege at Schenectady , 'Now York. Very little is said about the institu-j ; ion , Union college , nowadays , thougl : t still flourishes moderately and hat i strong list of alumni. It stands in the very middle of Schonectady. Schenectady , a few miles west of Troy and Albany , and south of Sara ; oga , is ono of the early Dutch settle nonts of Now York , and after the . -evolution Gen. .Schuylor started the brmation of a college. It was char- .prcd by the "Itogonts of the Univor- iity , ' ( of whom Whitelaw Reid in low one ) , near the close of Washing- on'a Administration. It was a Gal- inistic college , and its first two nres- dents wore John Blair Smith , of ilampdon - Sidney , Virginia , and 'onathan Edwards , son of the incta- ihyeician. Finally that remarkable nan , Eliphalct Nott , the son of poor mrcnts in Connecticut , waa called to Jnion college when ho was only thir-j y-ono yours old. Dr. Noti was a preacher nt Cherr , . iralloy , Now York , nnd in the Pres- tytorian church at Albany. When Uoxandcr Hamilton was killed Dr. * fott delivered n powerful oulopy up- > n him from the pulpit , and nn nt- ack upon dueling As HOOII as Nott ook cfiargo of Union college ho ap- ) led ! a business head to making it ieh , nnd among hiu invcaliiiontH was ho purohnso of what is now a city op > osite Manhattnn Island at IldntcrV Joint. TJio Now York Potter fnir.i- y of whom Clurksori Potter is the no.st distingiiulied , is doscondei ] rom Dr. Nott , nnd the original Peter - or waa oiio of Noll's profossora nl Jnion. Under this ecccntrio yet _ luminoiib' ' nan Arthur received liis education nd graduated in J8-17. Ho iiiiniodi- , tely took up Dr. Nott's old calling .nd went to teaching school in Vor-j nont. With about $500 ho ntnrted or Now York City , where Eratus D. Culver , a congressmen who had just est his seat , had n law ollico , and vith him Arthur began to study aw , Arthur soon concluded to go rest nnd establish himself in some atisfuctory town , and ho pjckod a 'oung man named Oardinur to bo his cilaw nrtnr , AHTHUU'H KKTTMKU i owx. They looked at eovorul towns in .rowing parts of the west , but thought heir opportunities would not bo HO ; oed as if they cnmo back to the City 'f ' Now York. Arthur wan good I ookinu , nnd he became acquainted ath the widow and daughter of Liout. Herndon , of the American navy , Yii ijinia people. William Lewis Herndon had beet drowned in J8r > 7 ? nt the ngo f forty four , on the ship Central Amorion winch ho commanded. Herai benin ? in the town where Gen. NVashingtoi was raised , Frcdcricksburg , and was the brother-in-law of Lieut. Mitury. . iho Virginia rebel nnd scientific mini Herndon explored the Amazon river , ind had a high reputation , when tin Central American sunk coming fron [ 1 avnna to Now York , with ! )24 ) pan jcngors and nearly ono hundred sail- > rs and $2,000,000 in gold treasure , llerndon was cool ns n May morning , ind when the few who survhed sau .ho ship go down ho was standing on lie wheel house , some say , with n : igar between his tooth , issuing or- lors. Fur mnny years , or until tin robollioii bmko out , ho was the popu- ar hero of the United States. Tin Jonulon family is ono of the best in Virginia. By Miss llerndon , whom to married , General Arthur has a son 'ully grown , His wife died onlj ibout olio year before ho bccaim neo president. Although n stnhvnrt opublicnn in almost uvcryneiiso , Gtiii. Vrthur , through his wife , has the best southern connections. Ho ought tea t < > oa national president. A YOUNOKH HinVAlll ) , It has boon said , with good reason , hat General Arthur compelled tin concession , on the street railroad : ars , for colored pcoplo to ride. The fourth Avenue Street Railroad , Now York , which belongs to the Harlem Steam "Railroad Company , undertook to put a blsek woman ofl' . It waa Jono with violence , nnd she applied to Arthur , who brought suit mid * ot n verdict of § 500 against the company. Tlio next day after this verdict nn order was posted up in the : ars allowing colored pcoplo to ride , 'roviously , throughout the immense ongth of Now York island , only otu > railroad allowed black people to bi- wssengors , nnd then only in particu- ar ears. William H. Sownrd , in 18SO , was concerned in hia first slave case , that vliich turned his attention to the pol- tics of nnti-slnvery. A reuisition ( ) 'rom N7irginin wns made upon Gov. oonard in that year for three colored icamcn who had concealed a slave in heir vessel and brought the slave ti tfew York. The slave had been sur- onderod ; the ignoble bloodhounds low demanded Jus fellow-negroes and rionds. The ReCordcr of Now _ York 3ity would not honor the requisition jf the small Virginia Pharoah. This map then impudently called on the Sovernor of New York to override ho Recorder and Judge in law. Sow- ird inado the grand argument that cquisitions , under the American Con- titution , must bo made for real crimes igainst civilization , not crimes made ubitrary by a potty portion of man kind , such as rescuing a brother from lavcry. No Virginia could pursue he human race after declaring a por- ion of it in dereliction. A debt pris- > nor could not bo pursued into New fork from Pennsylvania. Whythen , mould a slave-dealer bo mishod into tfow York from Virginia ? -All that Virginia did by pursuing the' case nrith her sprigs of Jnwyer politicians iras'to ' make Sownrd a great person- vgo. Ho retired nwhilo from oflice , july to become , nttor reappearing , n ihenomonon. ( Gen. Arthur's connection with the jominon case , in 1857 , was very much ike Sownrd's position eighteen years : arlior. It involved the right of nasters to ship slaves from border itntcs through the free port of New fork. He was the associate of Win. H. Evarts , opposing Charles O'Conor or the slave-shipper. But I will not iwcll on this case. His semi-political connections as n awyer had passed out of the public nind when Chester A. Arthur became nvolved in n dispute with the ndmin- stration of Hayes and Sherman. Ye ; Arthur's political record was by no neans short or scanty. Ho was not wactly r founder of the republican mrty in Now York , but was ono of he younger men who assisted to form t. In 1854 , when the Nebraska policy f Picrce's administration became un- lopular , the beaten whi s in Now fork state , led by Seiyard , Weed and 3reoley , called nn nnti-Nebraska con- ontion nt Saratoga , which adjourned o Auburn , Sewnrd's homo , where , iftor a debate , it was concluded to re- ain the whig machine , but to bo ready or a new party movement. The con- oquonco was the election of Myron 1 , Clark to bo governor and Henry r. .Raymond lieutenant governor. 21 ark succeeded Horatio Seymour's rat term in 1855. Tlio next year , while the whigs still trugglcd to keep their organization , wo conventions met nt Syracuse , one nade up of nnti Nebraska democrats , nd presided over by Reuben E. Fen on , the other Btrai htout-out ropubli nn , led by John A. King nnd Edwin X Morgan , It * was hero that Arthui ook position under Morgan , like 1 limsclf n native of Now England , 'ho Morgan republicans were beaten , ! klr. King became governor , however , n 1857 , and two years nftorwnrd lorgan waa elected. There have inco boon three republican governors f Now York , Fonton , Dix and Cor- loll , nnd four democratic governors , loymour , Hodman , Tildcn and Rob- noun JIOV. Edwin D. Moigiiu , without having iterary or tweaking abilities , was n evel-hunded mini , of a rather phlog- nutio temperament , perfectly sincere n his viewH attaint slavery and in 'uvor ' of the Union , if necessary bj vur. Ho wua a dealer in groceries , iroduco , Migar , etc. , and had made ijiisidcniblu money , but his most iiu- jortant enterprise was the consohda- ion of the Now York Central rail- oad , which gave him n bias toward ( Vlbany. When elected governor he : allcd in various young men to make cady for the threatened war between he Hcctions. Arthur had been in he state militia , an important feature > f Now York state institutions , The nilitiu hero is well kept up , and ib inder rigid state supervision. Mor- ; uii successively made Arthur ongi- lecr-in-chiof , inspector-general , and Inally quartormaster-gonoral. lur- ng the war New York raised an enor- nous army , suoh as 'vouhl dri credit o a very largo nation. Arthor trans- ictcd the purchasing business of tin itato to un enormous amount ol nonoy without inclining any scandal , ind came out of the oflico not mucl. ihcad. It is said tlmt ho rofuscc1 ivcry present sent to hiln , whether o ! ( military clothing , saddles , homes or [ trifles. Yet ho did make money al [ the close when large numbers uf wa > jolnitns were put in the hnnds ol { Arthur & G.mliner. The firm nlsc became celebrated for the speed with ] Hivhich it could draft and put throng ! [ legislative bills nt Albany orash [ ington. Aimil'llA I'OI.ITK'UN , It is said that Tom Murphy , after' Iwnrd collector of the port , drew PAitliur info politics byhaving the citj l ovcrniuont , in Tamany times , mnki jArthur coun.sol to tax commissioners , jjln turn Arthur assisted to make Mur- iphy n state senator. After Giv { punched the presidency ho put Murphj jmto the place of collector of the port , jjwhocoirpon there wi\s a loud oppoai- i ion , followed by Murphy's ' resigna Jtion , nnd , at Murphy's request , Gran ! jtliun made Arthur collector uf the [ port , much to the surprise of the pee Iplo , who in general knew little nboiil ( lain. For the next tort years , how- laver , the constant investigation ! ! o Sthu custom-house , and the lingo 'busi- luess it did for the country madi Arthur n marked man. When he wax Iromoved by Hayes strong petitions Iworo prepared in protest. But Gen. BMorritt took the plauo and hold it until - | til the recent conllrmation uf Robert- M I In the meantime Arthur , who lint developed into n pretty bright politl oian , nnd had got complete control o the Conkling machine in New York , bccnmo the regular engineer of the republican > publican campaigns. Itvn lie who [ decided to support Conper , democrat , for mayor. His ollice was in tlm Fiftl' ' iivetiue hotel , and nearly all the [ moneys to bo ( pent for the electior passed through his hands. The mer ihanta generally had conlidenco in lim. His mnniior was rather fine , pot swoot. lie was nhv.iys fair to ook upon , with a pair of lioh black eyes , in which lay n reliuod smile. A lealthy color was in his cheeks , be tokening ijood Hying , and ho wore a pretty dress , which became him. Not originally n man of strong powers , his graces are such tlvit when ho has done i thing for a curtain time he shows skill and pctfectneaa in it. Ho be came a politician slowly , and seldom ircsumed until ho know the business , ind then ho could bo suvi-ro if neces sary. Ho had to say "no" often , nnd cut oil' the head of many n friend. If there is anything ho will bo perfect in ivhcn ho takes the presidency it will jo making appointments nnd iv novnls. SUMMAUV OF Cll.UlACTKK. Arthur is a republican politician in lis views , biit a democratic politician n his ways. Ho would regulate a j.irty on the Jacksonian plan , of dis- cipilino from the top. Under Mor gan , ho saw n rich , Holf-seeking and rather timid man , who , after he had reached the highest position in the state , had not the art to maintain lijnsolf , and was easily beaten by b'chton for the senate. Being the joneliciary of Fenton's discom- iituro , Arthur , of course , illicd himself to Gen. Grant , uid through Grant to Conkling. He possesses in n high degree the rccop- : ivef docile qualities of character necessary to get along with Conkling. Hint phlegm and stolid conceit , Gov. Cornell possesses is foreign to Arthur's nature. There is a great deal that is still boyish , generous and pretty about Arthur. Ho has v boon accustomed , liowovor , to behavior rather than to Formulating principles. He is an in tense republican , and believes that to let go of the organisation in tht slightest respect in to invite disaster to the party. Ho thinks Conkling tc bo n man of the largest powera both of mind and will. Conklimr , however , did his best to keep Arthur from nc copting the nomination for vico-prosi dent , which has turned out to bt Conklimr s only salvation in the time of despair. Gen. Arthur might , there fore , begin to consider himuolf n wisoi politician than Conkling. Although the nomination of Arthur was not well received in Now York , bccnuso ho was considered to bt rather a city politician than a states man , yet it no doubt did Ntrengthei the ticket in this quarter. Ho was aeon every day conducting the campaign - ' paign in this statp , nnd'to nome ex tent throughout the country , wo ik ing methodically nnd with nltoroc liabits , and many men wore inducoc to contribute in Now York by tht tight of this rather cheery-faced gen tlunmn going to his office like an other man to n bank , morning jiftei morning. TWO III8TAKKH. * Arthur has made two mistake ? since ho became Vice-President. The drat was to endeavor to elect Crowloj Senator ngainst the Governor's friend Platt , in which ho was bcnten. The next was the attempt to put G'oiiklinj , back in the Senate nfter ho resigned , where he was also beaten. These t\v < Failures ought to have an instructive inlluonco upon tlio Vico-Prosidoiit. It is current belief that thny have af fected his confidence to tlio extent that ho will eeek out some Conkling , or other man of power , to advise with if greater duties should devolve upon 'lim. 'lim.An An Arthur is the first public man From Now York City who has evoi been President , or n Presidential ex pectant , it would seem that ho ought ; o strive to make his ndminiatratiot vvortliy of a metropolitan-unwind limn , 1'ho country parts have supplied near- y all our Chief Magistrates , tht AdaniM family , perhaps , excopted.
