The New President.

Chester A. Arthur is the twenty first
president of the United States lie was
born in Fairfield, Franklin county, Vermont,
in October, 1880. His father, Rev. William
Arthur, was born in the county Antrim, Ire
land. When he emigrated to this country
he settled in Vermont, and he died in New
tonville, near Albany, on October ~, 1875.
He was at one time pastor of the Calvary
Baptist church in New York, the present
pastor of which, Rev. Robert S. Macarthur,
is relative of the family. Chester began to
prepare for college under his fathers tuition,
and entered Union college in 1S45, gradual
ing with distinction in lS4S. He studied
law and was admitted to the bar in 1850.
lie was strong anti-slavery man, and early
won distinction in the famous Lemmons
slave case, after which he was regarded with
great favor by the friends of freedom. lie
early began to take an active interest in
politics. Before the outbreak of the war he
was judge-advocate of the second brigade of
the state militia, and Governor Edwin ID.
Morgan, soon after his Inauguration on
January !, 1861, appointed him engineer-in-
chief of his staff. The day after Fort Sum-
ter was fired upon Governor Morgan sum
moned him to Albany and requested him to
open branch quartermaster's department
in New York city, and to fulfill all the
duties there of quartermastergen The
governor put in his hands the duty of quar-
tering, subssting uniforming, equipping,
and arming New York's soldiers for the war.
1t was not only herculean task, but was
one of special difficulty, for there was no
broad road of experience to guide the young
man. There was nothing for which General
Arthur afterward received higher praise
than the way he rose to the height of the
occasion in all difficulties that beset him in
the toisome years which followed. He was
the brains, the organizing force, that took
the raw levies of New York, put uniforms
on their backs, muskets in their hands, and
sent them on to the war. Governor Morgan
practically made him the war minister Of
the state, shifting him from place TO place
on his staff, and from time TO time transfer
ring TO him the duties OF other militar,
officers of the state, in order that the worl
might be properly and quickly done. Hi
task was to create, almost out of nothing,
great department for the provision anc
equipment Of an army. He succeeded, an,
had the proud satisfaction of seeing tina
New York had sent one-ffth of all the sol
diers that marched to subdue the rebellion

Letter from Washington.

WASHINGTON ID. c., September a. 1881.
Mr. Editor An observer Of the events which
have transpired In this city during the last few
days notices many currents Of feelings which run
too deep to be expressed by funeral pomp or
other outward ceremony. One of these is the
sympathy with the afflicted family. The successes
which General Garfield had achieved and the
honors which he had nobly won and humbly re
ceived are not foremost In the conversation heard
They are rather overshadowed by the praises be.
slowed upon his tender home-love, which sweet
ems his memory but deepens his loss to those who
feel 1t most severely.
The feeling Of personal bereavement is more
general here than elsewhere, except at his Ohio
home. As a citizen interested in the prosperity
of our schools the improvement OF the city, the
advancement Of its business interests and the
promotion of its moral and religious enterprises,
his removal seemed most untimely. AS friend,
he will come no more to the homes he frequented
and the absence OF his familiar STEP warm greet
ing, sunny presence and brilliant conversation,
will deprive many a fireside Of its most welcome
visitor. The sorrow OF many of his nearest
friends has made them grow old as though years
had passed since the assassination. Especially is
this the case with Mr.. Blaine.
A feeling Of oneness has come to the front as
never before. Members of hitherto hostile fac.
tons and leaders of opposing interests are united
Confederate and union officers meet ON common
ground. Blaine, Arthur and Hancock, the rep
resentatives Of three political sections, have nc
disagreements now. "One touch Of nature makes
the whole world kin" and the assassin's shot has
not done less.
The considerate feeling which has welcomed
the new president is noticeable. His course since
the shooting OF his predecessor has led many t.
examine closer into his history, and little reason
h"s hnn~ found TO- nrojndinas asaiast him. On
the contrary his career has been such as to Great,
an expectation that he will bring honesty, ability
and sagacty to the management of affairs, which
will atone for lack of extended experience. Hi.
acts thus far indicate that before the administra
ton shall have closed, Vermont will take pride
in calling President Arthur her son. "''

White River Valley Fair.

The fair of the White River Agricultural Society
was held in Bethel September 20, 81 and % This
society has always been noted for the success of
its fairs, but this year it was not up to its usual
standard. In all departments the number of en-
tries was much smaller than in previous years
In Floral Hall the quality of the work was supe-
rior. There were several beautiful paintings,
some nice lace work and embroidery and consid-
cradle handsome worsted work. The portion of
the hall devoted to farm products was by no
means full, but the entries were mostly worthy OF
exhibition. The show of horses and cattle was so
much inferior to former years as to cause general
comment. The few who endeavored to add to
the interest of the fair by bringing out their stock
poultry, etc, are deserving of credit Wednesday
there were four thousand people in attendance
There were interesting horse races, and an exhi-
btion of horseback riding by Charles Leroy OF
Lacrosse, Wisconsin. Mr.. Leroy advertised to
ride ten trained horses twenty miles round the
track in sixty minutes, changing horses at the
close Of each half mile. Owing to the sickness OF
his horses he was obliged to ride green animals,
and, added to this, he was thrown from the first
one he tried to ride and his right shoulder dislo-
Gated. OF course under these difficulties he
oouu NOT pe ehpecteu 10 perform the ieat quite so
gracefully, but he made the twenty miles in fifty
eight minutes and twenty-nine seconds The
attraction of Thursday was a wrestling tourna-
ment for purse Of 500, by II. NJ. Dufur, +. r.
Wheeler, W. A. Burbank and George W. Flagg,
which was witnessed with great interest by a
large crowd The wreste was in GRECO Roman
and collar-and-elbow STYLE the former being some
thing new in that vicinity. Flagg won the first
money, $50 by six falls Duiur, the second, $50,
five falls Wheeler, the third, $40, four falls, and
Burbank, the fourth, $50, by three falls The
Bethel cornet band was in attendance and did
much to enliven the fair

A MEMORABLE DAy.--The Springfield
Republican well says "Let us try and re-
alize that we are living in great times, and
crises that history will dwell upon. We
ought TO make great day of the funeral of
President Garfield. We trust the schools
will close and that no pains will be spared
to impress the children that it is great oc-
casion, date to reckon by, to remember all
their lives, the like of which they may never
see again even if they live to tell it to grand
children, --how, far back in 1881, the good
president Garfield, was shot by an assassin
upon the % OF July, so that there was no
celebrating on the Fourth, and how he lay
sick unto death nearly twelve weeks, how
he retreated stubbornly from the capital to
the oceans brim, and bravely battlcd for
life, yet died at length on the 10th of Sep
tember, and all the people grieved. Let us
make an object lesson in patriotism, such as
cannot be learned in school rooms"

A STRANGE Confession.

Two convicts, King and Hamilton, in the
Dannemora prison, New York, had dis
pute, soon after the attempt to murder
President Garfield, over the fitness Of the
vice.president TO succeed him. The dispute
soon grew into quarrel, and King, angered
by some expression of IIamilton's disparag-
ing Vice-President Arthur, struck him twice
with an axe, killing him instantly. How
the two men came to be left unguarded with
deadly weapons in their hands, or within
reach, and were allowed to wrangle until
their quarrel ended in murder, is not ex-
planned, but so it was. King was put on
his trial for murder, and the court made
short work of il. In an hour and half the
case was given to the jury. After deliberat-
ing some time the jury returned to the court
room and asked for further instruction as to
the distinction between the first and second
degrees of murder. The punishment of
murder in the first degree is death by hang
ing that of murder in the second degree is
life imprisonment. The question showed
that some members of the jury were inclined
to find the prisoner guilty in the second de-
gree only. The penalty for that crime would
have had no terrors for King, who was al
ready serving a sentence of life imprison-
ment for previous murder. But, as the
judge was about to give the explanation
which the jury asked for, the prisoner rose,
and, against the remonstrance Of the coun-
sci, made this remarkable address
"Your honor and gentlemen OF the jury, this
was not a murder in the second degree. 1t was
deliberate and premeditated murder. | know
that have done wrong, that ought to confess
the truth, and that ought to be hanged. No,
have done wrong 1t is my duty to confess 1t,
and can't help doing So | cannot keep still
plead guilty TO murder In the first degree. 1t
was fifteen minutes from the time struck the
first blow with the axe until struck him the sec
ond time, and all this time | kept thinking will
finish this man. II this is not premeditated muir
der, what is t2 | have already killed two men.
What is my life to me? The life of either of those
two men whom have killed is worth dozen OF
mine"
The judge informed the jury that in his
opinion their question needed no further
answer. They retired, and in few min
utes brought in their verdict, equity Of
murder in the first degree" and the pris-
oner was sentenced to be hung on the 4th
of November next.

TRUE GREATNEss.-The London Spec.
taior, referring to the affectionate interest
and respect manifested by the people while
the president was being removed from the
White House to the cottage at Long Branch,
remarked that /" the state voluntarily con-
coded to the president was more royal than
that assumed by most kings" The reason
for this is manifest. The president was
himself one of the people, in all his senti-
ments and sympathies, in the best and truest
sense The unparalleled honors and dis
tinctions which fell to his lot never sep
arated him from them. The respect with
which they followed his wasting form to
Long Branch was but faint foreshadow-
ing of that which now follows him to the
grave, and will live in history, precious and
imperishabe.

AN ENDoRsEMENT.-The editor of the
Troy New York; Times, who has known
Arthur intimately and Endorsed Mr.. Conk.
ling up to his petulant retirement from the
senate, says of the new president; ave have
known President Arthur intimately for more
than fifteen years. In confidential confer
ences as in his public capacity we have met
him oten,-in the dark days of our country's
trial, in his responsible official service, and
during periods when the sharp antagonism
of political contests prevailed. And we
never heard an expression from his lips, an
intimation by word or by deed, that sane.
toned wrong and encouraged improper and
dishonest methods. These he never failed
to condemn firmly and emphaticaly. A
self-poised, earnest, true-hearted man, steady
in purpose, sound in judgment, resolute in
action, President Arthur enjoys the fullest
confidence and the fervent esteem of all who
know him, and most largely OF those who
know him best. President Arthur has the
courage of his convictions, but he has also
resptcJ ior VIC HohooV ooHNioeions VI olheis'
lie fully realizes the tremendous weight OF
responsibility that has been transferred to
him, and with dignity and honor, with
humility and yet with strength, he will bear
the burden. We believe his course will be
characterized by wise conservatism, and
that he will steadily and successfully guard
and defend the vital interests of our great
country"
