President Arthafr'.
GOOD WORDS.

l
| CHICAGO, Sept. 2O.-The Times saws: Presi-
dent Arthur viii begin his administration with
the eyes OF a multitude of cold or unfriendly
critics fixed oA him, and with the affectionate
interest OF comparatively small personal
! following, confined for the most part to
small section of the country. His judges are
the people of the United States. and justice de-
mands that the judges divest themselves of all
prejudice, and prepare their Iainds to Judge
not only fairly but generously. 1t is to be
borne in mind that Gen. Arthur has been ma
| tional character but a few months. He is
comparatively unknown. In the state of New
York, where his life has been spent, where
his political career is we'll known, he is hie H.
ly esteemed by Republicans and Democrats.
those who differ from him in politics admire
him as man. To the country at large he
has become known only through the medium
OF presidential campaign, the very worot
medium for conveying correct impression OF
man.
The "Times" anticipates he will be iu-
moderste notEas Deievg enieugh one to that PURSUE i
lay an animosity that the country is anxious
to bury; that he will recognize that the peo-
pie chose General Garfield to be president,
approved his policy so far as he had an op-
portunity to carry it out, lard desire no changes
in the personnel of the government. Then,
circumstances may make imperative. His ad-
ministration begins with the shadows of
death overhanging it and with a considerable
amount of distrust in the minds of the people.
The 'Times" hopes and believes that it will
close under brighter skies and with the sun
shine of national approval resting on it.
BACK To NEW YORK.
ELBERoN, Sept. 20, 425 p. m..-President
Arthur left for New York on special train
Gen. Grant accompanied Gen. Arthur arm
in arm to the carriage which conveyed him to
the Elberon depot, and as the carriage re-
turned empty, it is presumed he went to New
York with the president Before leaving
President Arthur called on Mrs. Garfield and
rendered his sincere sorrow and sympathy.
BLAINE AND LINCOLN CALL
NEW YORK, Sept. 2O.-Messrs. Blaine and
Lincoln arrived from the east this forenoon
and without waiting for breakfast proceeded
at once to Gen. Arthur's residence on Lexing-
ton avenue. Nothing of note transpired dur
lug the interview. Gen. Arthur's face betray-
ed the deep grief from which he is suffering,
as did also the features of Blaine and Lincoln.
EVENING CALLS.
President Arthur arrived at his residence in
this city at 6 this evening unaccompanied.
He stated he would not go to Washington
yet, and being tired he would not receive any
callers but would retire for the night. Short
ly after Col. George Bliss arrived and entered
the house. At 9 O'clock Senator John A.
Logan and Police Commissioner French called

coupe droveu up and General Grant alighted
and entered the house. Senator Conkling has
not yet visited President Arthur. General
Grant left shortly after II and 1t was
authoritively stated the president would not
leave for Washington tonight When Presi-
dent Arthur went to Long Branch to-day, four
headquarters detectives were on the same
train. They were dressed in citizens clothes,
and it is doubtful if the president knew they
were officers if lie noticed them at all.
The president will leave for Elberon. to-
morrow at 8 o'clock, to accompany the re-
mains of the late president to Washington
The special car on which he will go to Elberon
will be attached to the funeral train.
BAD TASTE.
The Tribune's Long Branch special says
On the arrival of Presidents Arthur very
few SO far forgot the proprieties of the oc-
casion as to throw their hats in the air and
wave him salute. After the session of the
cabinet President Arthur paid his coincidence
to Mrs. Garfield. The meeting is described as
very affecting. The president was overcome
with emotion with the appearance of the
president after death.
