CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-The Times saws: Presi.
dent Arthur will begin his administration with
the eyes OF multitude of cold or unfriendlv
critics fixed on him, and with the affectionate
interest oil comparatively small personal
| following, confined for the most part to a
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 a ma
tiOnal character but few months. He is
comparatively unknown. In the state of New
York, where his life has been spent, where
his political career is well known, he Is hieh-
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 worst
medium for conveying 4 correct impression OF
man.
The "Times" anticipates he will be iu-
dicious enough to pursue a
moderate policy, one that will al
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 OPP
portunity to carry it out ,ard desire no changes
in tine personnel of the government. Then,
circumstances may make imperative His ad-
ministration begins with the shadows of
death overhanging it and with considerable
amount OF distrust in the minds of the people.
The 'Times" hopes and believes that if will
close under brighter skies and with the sun
shine OF national approval resting on it..
BACK To NEW YORK.
ELBERoN, Sept. 90, 4:25 p. m..-President
Arthur left for New York OH a 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 Oh 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
aug 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 this evening unaccompanied.
He stated he would not go to Washington
yet, and being tired he would not receive any
callers bnt would retire for the night Short
ly after Col. George Bliss arrived and entered
the house. at O'Clock Senator John A.
Logan and Police Commissioner French called
and remained for some time. At IL o'clock a
| coupe drove up and General Grant alighted
| and entered the house. Senator Conklng has
not yet visited President Arthur. General
Grant left shortly after II and 1t was
autforitively stated the president would not
leave for Washington tonight When Pres-
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 he noticed them at ALL
The president will leave for Eberon to-
morrow at S 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 a 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.
