President Arthur.
Frank LeSie'S Weekly.

Seventeen individuals have been elected
presidents of the United States. Three have
died during their first term, and of the four
teen who served through the first term, seven
were reelected and seven were relegated tD
private life. Just one half received the mark
of popular approval implied by renewal of
their trust. And in every case that approval
was emphatic, for they were all reelected by
increased maiorties both of the electoral and
popular vote. -Four vice presidents have
assumed the office ON the death of the
President elected by the people, but of these
not one as yet, has been able to secure the
reward of second term. 1t was no lack of
opportunity. None were called to complete
the mere fragment of another's term. Two Of
them served the whole period of four years,
lacking one month Fillmore had nearly
three years, and President Arthur assumed
his duties six months after Garheld's inaug-
uration. All had ample scope for impressing
their own character on the policy of the
country, and all had the vast power and
patronage of the executive Office at their dis.

his duties under circumstances of the greatest
embarrassment. His party was divided into
bitter factions, and soon 1t met with over
whelming popular defeats. But the very
difficulties of his position gave him an
advantage The people love fair play,
and they watched his course with
the forbearance and candor that his
embarrassing position deserved. They
saw that he did not throw himself blindly
into the arms of either faction. Leaders OF
both were disposed to complain, but he kept
his course as president of the whole coun-
| try with prudence and dignity, aud now
when his term of three years and six months
is Just half over, he has gained "a degree OF
public confidence greater than his best friends
anticipated Indeed, his administration has
been remarkably free from tho attacks OF
partisan oalumny. When We recall the
stormy times of Taylor and Fillmore, this
may be called a new EZRA Of good feeling"
THE country is busy with its prosperity.

yesterday with a cargo of coal from Philadel-
phia Capt. jackson reports that Saturday,
about 4 p M, when about a mile oil the
mouth of the Potomac, he sighted monster
whale about seventy-fve feet in length. The
animal was sporting in the water with a
school Of porpoises, who were springing on its

Not Mr.. SchWart.

The Globe Democrat of Thursday con-
tanned short item in its column of "Local
Brcvities" which read as follows:
'Deputy United States Marshal Wheeler
arrested Is. Schwart, of 1ronton, Mo-, yester-
day. under warrant charging him with vi
oiating the pension laws. The accused is now
in lronton Jail awaiting further develop
mcrts."
Mr.. Schwartz is United States Commits
sfoncr n iroHton, and instead of being arres-
tea "under warrant charging him with vi
cldtInS the pension law,'' he issued a war
rant fer the arrest of man charged with vi
olating the pension law. The mistake was
maize from the fact that blunder was made
i'll trarSposing the names taken from the
record and that United States Marshal Coste's
attention was called off while giving the item.
There was no intention of decorating the
feelings OF the Commissioner at Ironton, and
as soon as the mistake was discovered, the

next day, correction was inserted, without
Mr.. Schwart's having been heard from and
while probably ignorant of the first insertion,
as follows:
'By curious mistake United States Com
missioner b. Schwart, of Ironton, was report
ed rs having been arrested by United States
Deputy Marshal Wheeler, and lodged in Jail
for violation Of the pension law. VIM.
Hodges, of Reynolds County, was really the
man in trouble, and Mr.. Schwart figured
only rs the Commissioner before whom the
preliminary hearing was held. "-Gl0be DEM
OcrGt.
The "Mr. Schwarv' here referred to, is
Capt. B. Zwart; and while the above re-
tracticn and explanation is full and explicit,
it is by no means certain that he will not go
ahead and legally establish the falsity con-
tanned in the original item. While the folks
here at home have been laughing at it, and
considering it ga good joke on the Captain .
there is no telling the damage that might re-
suit with clients abroad who know him only
in his character as an attorney.
