LAPoRTE, Ind Aug. 2. LANDoN G. ROSE.
The circumstances surrounding Mr. Arthur
when he entered upon the duties of his great
office as President of the United States were of
the most trying and delicats character. That he
met them in the most successful manner will not
be questioned III any quarter. He has given
general satisfaction to men of all shades of opia-
ION in his own party, and has challenged the
spect of his political enemies His course as
President has tended to unite and strengthen
his party, aud to prOmOte good feeling between
the North and South. He has called around him
as bis constitutional advisers able and pure men
linen who enjoy the confidence of the whole
peoDle. Indeed, he has so administered his
trust that he has constantly grown IN the esti-
nation of the public. I believe his administra-
tion will rank with the best in the country.

From Senator Harrison.

My personal and official intercourse with
President Arthur has been of the peasantest
kind felt great sympathy for him when he en-
tered upon his duties under circumstances of so
much Trial and delicacy, and great admiration
for the manly and modest way in which he dis
charged them l have not found myself in ac-
cord with him in every public measure OF his adj
miuistration, but that is very much short of
proof that he was not right in the few cases
where differed think he deserves great
credit for what he has done. In short, he took
up the office under great disadvantages, if not
disaffeoriOn, and has succeeded in making a
steady growth in the good will and confidence,
not only of his party friends, but of the people.

The ENDeIegates,

The administration OF President Arthur has
been eminently successful. Every act has been
subjected to the closest scrutiny. He has kept
the faith, and is entitled to the paudits of the
whole people. His official career will compare
tavorably with any in the history Of the repub-
lie. DANIEL B. KUMLER.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Aug. l.
The administration of President Arthur was
taken up by him under the most trying and en-
barrasslng circumstances. Any SUSPENDED or
unfriendly opinion at that time TO his capaci-
~ TO meet and worthily perform the duties of
hie Office have gradually crystalized into the
conviction that he is thoroughly equipped for
any demand which may be made upon him. His
wise and temperate course has unified the party,
and the President deserves well of it and the
nation. b. W, LANGDON.

GRANT AND G~AMBETTA.

the French Republic.
Interview with Grant in Washington.
If Gambetta's death had occurred five
years ago, when Mcmahon was President, |
doubt if the republic would have survived
the shock, but now it is different. He was a
very remarkable man, and at the time of
which | speak seemed to be the only person
in France who was able to rise to the require
ments of the OCCASION. Mcmahon was a
good old soldier, and did what he honestly
thought was the best for the people of
France. He did not think. however, that a
republican government was the best for the
people. a<d consequently, and for that
reason made every attempt and used every
means to defeat it. He had a large army
scattered all over the country, differed by
men who thought as he did. He exercised
the highest authority in proroguing
the Legislature and dismissing the
officials and appointing others in their places.
These offices could not be filled again by cleo
ton until he should name the day. He
postponed calling the election as long as pos
sible, and finally, when it was called, gave
instructions to every officer, civil and mill
tary, to use every influence in his power to see
that Republicans were not elected. Very
few nations would nave submitted to be
overridden in this way as the French people
did then. The people of this country would
not stand it at all, Of course. public feeling
ran very high, and an Eruption was immi-
nent at any moment, but every day Gambetta
issued his paper, when went to all parts of
France, and was read everywhere, advis-
ing moderation. From day to day he
wrote, telling the people to be
quiet and abide by the ballot-box; telling
them to say nothing and do nothing, but
simply to go to the election, deposit their
vote and then go home. At the same time
that he was counseling quiet he was every
day indicting Mcmahon for his outrages
upon the liberties of the people. The result
was the masses followed the advice of Gam
BETA, committed no violence, but went qui-
city to the polls and carried the election.
In France there is always an absolutely fair
count and a fair election, so that when the
Republicans put in more votes than their
opponents they came into power in the gov
eminent. The republic is safe in France, be-
cause they have a good president. Should
the time come again when another McMa-
hon SHOULD be president, rance will need
another Gambetta. Now, while he may not
be necessary, the death of such q man is u
very great loss to any nation or any age.
