While the twelfth ballot was just being

to restore order The Secretary

513 votes and the Chair announced

The Administration of MIR. Arthur

Although the protracted illness of
the President has served to keep the
public mind in a state of painful sus-
pense, and has intensified the strain
to which his immediate family have
been subjected, it has to large ex-
tent prepared the country for the
official changes which his death must
bring in it's train, and accustomed it
to contemplate calmly and dispas-
sionately the transfer of the admins
tration from the hands of President
Garfield to those of Vice President
Arthur. 1t is scarcely necessary to
say that this period of preparation
and opportunity for sober second
thought has been of inestimable val
ue. Had Mr.. Garfield's death occur
red upon the very day he was shot
the shock which would haye attend
ed the sudden change of executive
officers might, under all the circum-
stances which surrounded the assas-
sination, have been productive of
alarming if not of absolutely danger
Gus consequences. Now, however,
while public Indignation and sorrow
are as deep as ever, all abnormal ex-
element has passed away, and there
is general disposition not merely
to receive the new administration
quietly and without bitterness of
speech or thonght, but to hope and
think the best of it, and to give it all
possible encouragement and aid. 1t
Is quite true that when the ballots
were cast for presidential electors no
one dreamed that the presidency
would ever devolve upon Mr.. Ar
thur, and it is likely enough that,
had this contingency been appre-
hepded, he would not have been Sc
lected for the second place on the
ticket by the Republican nominat
ing convention. The presidential
nominee at that time was in robust
health, and bid fair to witness many
inaugurations and administrations.
Nevertheless, though not perhaps
nominated or elected in point of fact
or intention with view to the sue
cession, he was thus nominated and
elected in point of theory and law,
and by the death of Mr.. Garfield he
becomes by the constitution as fully
and absolutely President as if he had
been in the first place called directly
to that office by the popular voice.
Thus solemnly invested by the or

the assurance that they should have
fair trial. Since the war, when
they were outlawed for serving un-

have been charged with nine-tenths
of all the deviltry perpetrated in

Brave Women.

1t is In the furnace that the true
gold is separated from the dress. It
is in affiictiOn that nobility of char
acter Is tested; and, judged by this
test. the women of the Garfield house
hold have shown themselves to be-
worthy of the great man whose life
has just ended. To Mrs. Garfield the
elevation of her husband to the Pres
idency brought responsibility rather
than honor; but she bore herself i'm
the White House with grace and
dignity that charmed all who knew
her. Suddenly she was called to the
bedside OF her wounded husband,
and then the heroism of her nature
showed itself. Hers has been the
courage that never failed, the deve-
ton that nothing could weary. And
yet, she must have known weeks
ago that the case was almost hope
less. The slender chance for his life
grew slighter day by day, yet she did
not abandon hope, sustained his cour-
age and was calm and cheerful at his
side. She prepared his food with her
own hands, and was the chief nurse
through all these agOnizing weeks.
Even the deathbed scene wrung no
exhibition of weakness from her, al
though the stay and strength and
glory of her life was passing away.
The American people have reason to
be as proud of the heroic woman
hood of the wife as of the patient,
unshakable courage of the husband.
The venerable mother bore the
shock as might have been expected.
The Spartan courage that her son in
herited from her was in her answer:
ut was probably all for the best if
the people were ready to receive it,"
And then the mother-agony breaking
forth. she said: ut is not possible
that my son James is dead. do not
wish to live any longer. 1 will soon
be with him." The daughter of the
President, who had borne up SO well
during the trying days, gave way
when the last moment came. but she
had already worn herself out with
watching and waiting. Mother, wife
and daughter-all the women of the
hOusehOld-shOwed the noble quail.
ties that make one proud to claim
them as typical Anne rican women.
The members of this household
are endeared to our people-not only
for his sake, but their own. They
are and must remain the wards of
the nation, to be held in honor while
they live. Their career has been
strange and eventful, as Though a
short, terrible passage of the pathway
of life had been lit up by a glare of
lightning; emerging, for a little
while, from their quiet retirement,
and returning into it again. yet at
every moment beautiful! In demean-
or, brave, modest, hopeful, devoted
to duty. Only few months ago the
President. strong, eloquent, full of
high resolve, delivered his inaugural
address, and turned at its close to kiss
the aged mother and the wife. How
brief their happiness, their pride and
glory, in him how whitening their
grief and desolation.--BGAo. Anseri-
