The reports from Mexico concerning the
personal conduct Of the United States min
lister accredited to that government CRATE
harshly on the ear Of decency and tingle
the cheek Of respectabllity everywhere. In
the absence Of absolute proof Of the serious
charges made against the minister we are
certainly loath to criticisc his conduct,
knowing that in all communities there OK
list many persons who kick the ball Of ru-
NOR wherever they find It rolling in order
to give 1t more speed.
One thing, however, we are willing
to vouch for, aud that is the untruthfuluess
Of the newspaper announcement that the
Department Of State does not care what
Mr.. Manning does in private so long as he
docs not make an assinego of himself in
public.
We do not believe that the administra-
tlon Of any foreign Office in the world ever
placed such low estimation upon the high
position Of any one Of its representatives
abroad, pnd we certainly do not believe
such thing Of our Department of State.
In his exalted position at the Mexican
capital the very first requirements to a sue
CtsSul ulscharge OF MIR. Manning's duties
ere that he should be gentleman both in
public and private life. The idea that u
man wLo administers a public Office with
integrity and scrupulous care may play
high jinks generally in his private walk and
cCnvtrsgtion Is just what's the matter with
the public service, and the sooner that idea
| Is smothcrCd to death by wholesome
public opiuion the fewer will be such re-
murs as that which comes floating north
ward nom the old capital of the Montezu-
mas.
\ man clothed with the natural instincts
Of gentleman, and built around a charac
ter whose strength will enable him to fol-
low those unering instincts, will be decent
under all circumstances, and such arc the
men who should represent us abroad.

President Arthur.

lNOuGOIu MOlllDT.I
No human being who knew President
Arthur, either from personal acquaintance
or from studying his character as devel-
opGd in his Official life, will fail To mourn
bis death as that of true and good man,
honest, upright, and faithful in the per-
folmance of every private and public duty.
His early home training, by a father who
was clergyman of high literary as well as
religious culture, made him young mau
Of lofty aspirations and pure principles. He
was also subjected to anti.slavery influences,
which took deep root IN his mind, and
caused him, as the first work Of his man
hood, to espouse the cause and secure the
freedom Of the Lennon slaves, and he con-
tinued always radically and intensely hos
tile to the nations crime OF slavery.
In the practice Of his profession OF the
law he developed learning, sagacity, aud the
faculty OF coil judgment combined with
remarkable persistency, which, notwitn-
standing he never became q noted advocate,
made his legal career remarkably success
ful. His hatred Of slavery naturally brought
him actively into the last great political
struggle made by the south for the extern
sion Of the atrocious system into free terri
tory. When the Shareholders rebellion
broke out he held the office OF quartermas-
ter general of New York under Gov. L. ID.
Morgan, and threw his whole soul into his
WClk OF senulnR tne sOlulerS OF JnAJ SJaJe
into the field OF battle.
As collector of New York he made
record which is not surpassed sy that Of any
who preceded or have followed him. He
was model public official, and his conduct
may be searched in vain for proven error
or offence.

an assassinated President, whose death
caused the greatest public excitement aud
apprehension, be comported himself most
worthily In his high office. He gained the
confidence Of the whole people. He eXhi-
bited the highest sense Of public duty. He
made himself the President Of the nation
and,not Of q party, still less Of faction within
his party, while he yet violated no real oh.
legations to the friends Of his past. He gave
the country an administration with which
little fault has been found Of which no just
complaint had cen made, and which can
not be tarnished by any OF the changes Of
time.
lie wore out his life by his assIduous de-
votion TO the duties of his Office, which
gave him no opportunity for exercise or
rest. During the later months OF his fatal
illness he exhibited in the highest degree
that serene patience and self-cOntrol which
had characterized his whole career, and he
died as he had lived-a courteous, Chris
tiGn gentleman.
We bid farewell to generous and noble
spirit. All who have had the precious
privilege Of seeing his inner life aud OF

gain patience and strength from his exam

ment. Prominent citizens, holding high
positions, having great wealth, are fortu-
nate II they pass from the cradle to the
grave without having their regulations
marred and Scared by scandal. There
is no part OF newspaper read
with more avldity than highly seasoned
gossip and slander. 1t is q terrible ordeal
for good man to endure. Some innocent
men, with sensitive temperaments, have
paid fortunes to silence the venomous
tongue that assassnates character. The
decent press and sound public opinion
should stand by those who make bold
and manly fight for their regulations, and
not censure them, but presume them inno-
cent until indisputable facts bear evidence
of their guilt. Money-getting is pursued
through so many devious, winding, doubt
ful, and disgraceful channels that social
life has become In nur great cities narilnus.
1t would be well, therefore, for the press
and the people to come back to the good
old doctrine that innocence is presumed
until guilt is established.
