Silvy, it will be remembered, is in
Jail for shooting at the Day boys, at
Madison Furnace, on Sunday night,
as they were leaving church. SiIvy
was drunk, and so was his associate,
Moler, who was killed in the same
scrape. Silvy' was wounded. His
neighbors say he is quiet, peaceable,
harmless man when sober. He has
now been in Jail for some time, will
have to remain there until Court, now
more than month ahead, and he
will be almost certain to 90 to the
penitentiary. And all this sorrow
and degradation from beer and
whisky! And it does seem utterly
Useless to try to persuade men to stop
thinking.

in his legal capacity, has always been
the friend of the colored people.
He was delegate to the Saratoga
Convention hat founded The Rppub-
llcan party. His title of General was
won daring the war in the very useful
field OF equipping volunteer soldiers,
and forwarding them to the front. In
this capacity he was Of great service
to the State of New York, and was
appointed First Inspector General, and
then Quartermaster General, of Gov
ernor Morgan's staff. In November,
1871, President Grant appointed him
Collector Of the port of New York.
He succeeded Thomas Murphy in this
office. He held the position until
July, 1878, when President Hayes ap-
pointed Collector Merritt in his stead. |
Personally, General Arthur is very |
popular, and he has many warm
friends. He is still in the legal pro-
f6ession, being the head of the law
irm of Arthur, Phelps, Knevals g.
hansom. He is widower, his wife
having died some two years ago. She
vas the daughter of Lieutenant Hern-
lon, brave officer of the U. S. Navy.
In June, 1880, Mr.. Arthur received
ne Republican nomination for Vice
resident, at the Chicago Convention,
nd was elected to the office the No
ember following.

The President.
| Chester A. Arthur was born il
Franklin County, Vermont, Octobe
IS, 1880. He is the son of Rev. Will
lam Arthur, who came to Americf
from County Antrim, Ireland, at the
age OF seventeen years. Rev. Mr.. Ar.
thur was Baptist minister. He died
in 1875, at Newtonville, near Albany,
New York.
He was educated at Union College,
Schenectady, New York. He was the
most brilliant student at the College
in his time, graduating in the class of
lS4S, when only eighteen years old.
Like President Garfield, Mr.. Arthur
taught school after he left college.
He was teacher for two years. At
the end Of that time he had $500.
He brought his small savings to New
York and began the study of law. It
was his first intention to 60 West and
begin life, after being admitted. In
company with his intimate friend and
brother lawyer, Henry Gardiner, he
made Western tour, and spent three
months looking for suitable place
to locate. Not finding it, they re-
turned to New York, and opened an
office together, in that city.
Mr.. Arthur, as lawyer, struck sue
cess in the start. Almost his first
important lawsuit won him National
fame. 1t was the now celebrated
Lennon Fugitive Slave case. In
1859, when Mr.. Arthur was only |
twenty-five years old, Jonathan and |
Juliet Lennon, Virginia shareholders, |
ttempted to pass through New York
;lty with eight slaves, on their way
Q Texas. They were obliged to wait
ne sailing Of ship, and thus re-
1ained in New York several days.
While they waited their slaves were
iscovered and set free, being in a free
tate. Judge Payne decided that un.
er the Fugitive Save Law the Lem
IONS could not hold their human
1attels in New York. ,
The case was appealed, the Virginia ,
legislature authorizing the Attorney ,
eneral of that State to assist the
vners. VIM. M. Evarts and Chester
. Arthur were associated as counsel ,
II the blacks, and the State of New .
ork. Charles O'Conor, the famous !;
lmlnal lawyer, was attorney for the :
ave-owners. Arthur and Evarts =

IS been said, "a long step was taken +
ward the emancipation Of the black y
ce." Q

ampion of the rights of the negro.
can scarcely be comprehended in
r time that so late as 1856 negroes
re not allowed to ride in street cars
tn white people. Such, however.
S the fact: In 1855, respectable
man, Lizzie l Jennings, was roughly
shed off Fourth avenue car in New
rk. She had paid her fare, and had
quietly, conducting herself in a
yllke manner. But she was guilty
the otfense Of having black skin. N
at could not be tolerated, and she
) thrust out Of the public convey
e by violence. Mr.. Arthur brought
against the company for her and q
$500 damages.
he day following the verdict the II
lpany issued an order that colored
pie should be allowed to ride in all
If cars. The other car companies :
edily issued like orders, and thus RI

the asylum or the infrmary
One day last week Leroy Reet
sent for the senior editor to call al
the jail and see him. We went. Mr.
Reed said he wanted to see if we would
make an effort to aid him in getting
out of Jail. He said if he was kept
there his family would be scattered,
and some Of them would have to 90
to the Infirmary. He said he knew
he had done wrong, and deserved pun
lshment. He ought not to have as
saulted Mr.. Meacham, and he would
not have done so had he not been
drinking. If Mayor Aleshire would
let him out Of Jail heFwould take an
oath never to drink intoxicating
liquors again. He would leave the
county, and never again trouble any
one here, etc. We told him that
we knew Mayor Aleshire pretty well.
and that he is akind-hearted, generous
man, and only desired to do his duty,
as he understood his duty, hut we
could not say what he might, or
might not do.
When talking to this unfortunate |
man, we could only wonder why men
aoiH drink. Reed is quiet, civil man
when sober. We also thought of
what Capt. L. A. Atkinson once told
us. He said no matter what LEROY
Reed may do, he never could forsake
him. Reed. was soldier in Captain
company of the 91st Regi-
ment. He was mere boy then. but
Capt. Atkinson said he never saw a
PRAYER soldier. Capt. Atkinson was
hot through the body, and fell help
ess. Reed and one or two other 3
oldiers ran to him. It was on the | ]
op OF ridge, and in full view of the l
nemy. The balls were whizzing bv. t
nd the Captain said he expected .
very moment to see the soldiers kill G
d, and he begged them to leave him, t,
$ he supposed he was mortally Il
rounded, and it would be useless to n
emove him. He said Reed exclaimed !.
nth a great oath that they would s
AIRY their Captain to the rear, or die d.
18th him. And they did remove him m
| safety. Now this brave, generous CT
earted soldier is in prison for an in T.,
'tinite period Of time-it may be G,
70 years and a half, and brought ov
lere solely by beer and whisky! A.

By reference to our advertising
columns it will be seen that we are
to have Europe's Worlds Famous
Grand Circus Royal, English Me-
nagerie, Estley's Museum, Aviary
Aquarium, &C., and now consoli-
dated as above, forming one of the
very largest and most complete tent
ed shows in the world, and will ex-
hibit in all its colossal extensiveness
at Columbus, Saturday, July 9th.
The Baltimore San says that the
Grand Circus Royal, ETC., has proven
q bonanza to its owners, is sufficient
evidence that it travels on its merits,
and commands the patronage of the
public. 1t will therefore be seen
at once that the "Grand Circus, Roy
al, English Menagerie, Ashley Mu-
scum, &c." is no fly-by-night affair,
but an entertainment that requires
money and brains to inaugurate, and
the appreciation of the people at
large to be maintained. The ac-
commodations for visitors are ex-
cellent. Everything is neatly ar
ranged, with neatly cushioned re-
served seats, and its general sur
roundings suggest to the patron the
solidity of the huge enterprise. The
Electric Light sheds a beautiful ray
of soft and sun brilliancy over the
entire panorama of wonder sights,
and in conclusion we may safely say
that over six thousand persons left
their tents last evening a satisfied
audience, and we speak for the null
titude in saying the Grand Circus
Royal will always be welcomed to
our city, and we commend the man
agement to the public at all places
where this great show may exhibit
in its seasons travels"
