Chester A. Arthur.

1t is not to be denied that the nomination of
Gen. Chester A. Arthur for Vice President is
not so generally acceptable as that of Gen. Gar
field for President The impression prevails
that he is more of a professional politician.
and the feeling occasioned by his removal
from the Office of Collector of Customs in New
York by President Hayes has been unfavorable
to him. But the independent New York Her
aid endorses his impartiality as we'll as his
business capacity; and the New York Times,
which is opposed to Senator Conkling and
what is termed the machine" in the ReDubli-
can party of New York, gives him cordial en-
dorsement, and says: "The Times has had fre-
quent occasion to sustain the integrity and
ability Of Gen. Arthur as public servant,
and to endorse the policy adopted by him as a
political manager. 1t has recognized in him a
man eminently worthy Of wider sphere for
his abilities and more elevated platform for
the display OF certain sterling qualities Of head
and heart which have made him both respected
and beloved" Such testimony from intelli-
gent knowledge and political opposition is of
the highest value.
The salient facts of Gen. Arthur's history
are that he is lawyer by profession, fifty wears
OF age, native of New York, and of fine and
commanding presence and courteous urbanity
Ilio ufot ulStlilCtlOu was IN tn6 defence oil two
slaves against the operation of the fugitive
slave law, and by his legal exertions, without
pay, he secured the rights of negroes to ride in
the street cars OF New York as early as 1856.
During the war he was Quartermaster General
OF New York, and, while enormous sums of
money passed through his hands, and every
bribe and temptation were open to him, he not
only retired with the reputation of being
most skillful and efficient officer, but with
hands entirely clean and poorer than when he
accepted the service. On the occasion of his
removal from the Office of Collector Of Customs
hostile investigation failed to find the faint
est trace of any improper administration of his
of1ce in its money affairs, and both President
Hayes and Secretary Sherman gave public
testimony to his probity, while petition for
his retention was signed by every judge in the
city, by all the leading members of the bar,
and by nearly every importing merchant in
the district. He has been close friend of
Senator Conkling's, skillful organizer and
acute manager in politics, but his personal
character is unstained, nor has he been associ-
ated in reputation with the mercenary intrig-
uers and adventures who represent SO much Of
the active politics of New York city.
