Assassination Elevated
Arthur to Presidency

CHESTER ALAN ARTHUR frs
~ won his spurs in the law ir
the famous Lennon case of New
York. The case, tried in the
decade before the Civil War, in
volved validity of certain phases
of the fugitive slave law. Sc
skillfully did Arthur marshall his
evidence that he won a verdict
from New York'S highest court
that any slave being transported
from one slave state to another
became free white in the boun-
daries of New York.
During the Civil War itself Ar
thur won wide recognition for his
work as quartermaster. general OF
New York state. In 1871, partly
as a reward for his long Repub-
lican political activity, he was
named collector of the port OF
New York by President Grant.
Four years later he was reap
pointed, but subsequently was re-
moved by President Hayes over
disagreement as to civil service
reform.
But Arthur was rot long out of
politics. IN fact, he moved up to
the vice presidency, where he
waged a powerful influence in
patronage matters, eliminating in
the resignation OF two members
of the Senate. Then President
Garfield was shot and Arthur i'm
mediately succeeded him.
Hardly had he taken office,
however, when he reversed his
political efforts. Ee swung from
the old partis2nship to a full rec
ogn;t!on of the great cares of his
Office. Tariff legislation and de-
velcHment OF the navy were the
main highlights of mis- term. The
President is shown here on a
stamp of the new U. S. regular Sc
