JAMrS AH HAM (iAIHTKI.D Major-General .lames Ahram Gar field, who was called to lead the Re publican l'artv in theeoiningiiation al cainiiaiixn, is a man whomavtru- Iv be said to have carved his own pathway, unaided and alone, from the lowest rank in life to the proud est position to which an American citizen can aspire. He is not Vet l!l years of age, and more than half of bis life was ppent in a courageous struggle to gain an education, with poverty, contesting its advance inch by inch. He is another striking ex amine of the tendency of this Kenuh- ! t(' f,;j wT r,uUr nnmn-ti,, e 1 who come lrom the most humble j class of her citizens, and to honor j those who have deserved honors by ! a noble bearing in the battle of life. General Garfield is the on ly one of his faillilv who has risen alxjve ollict mediocrity, blithe has raiscil the family name by a persistent fight against all olistacles, which must command the resinrt even of his jxilitical enemies. (ien. .lames A. Garfield was Wn in the village of Orange, Cuyahoga county, Ohio, alxuit twelve miles from Cleveland, November 1!), 1X31. His parents were Ixith of New-England extraction. His father, Abra ham Garfield, was I torn in Otsego county, New York, but his family had lived in Massachusetts for gen erations. His mother's maiden name was Eliza Ballon, and she was a niece of the Ilev. llosca Ballon, a noted Universalist clergyman of New Hampshire, in which sfcitc she was born. James was the youngest of four sons, and his father died in LSoo, when the future General was scarcely 2 years old, leaving his children dependent solely on their mother. .Mrs. Garheltl was a wo- man of remarkable business ,plali-1 ,i ;ca,i,.iui . ;- 111.-, illl'l H 1 IIV'III IK 1 lillll tHUIH n 111 I berited his nerscverin-nature. With the aid of her three older lx.vs sho ! managed to support herself ami the family on the little farm left by Iter husband, and James from his ear liest years, was obliged to aid to the extent of his ability in the general work about his home. But he liked work, ami it was said of him when a boy that there was "not alazv hair in his head." He was a lxxir boy, 'and saw no means of making a liv-1 ing but by manual labor, and he aj j plied himself to learn the trade of a carpenter. During the summer months he toiled early and late on his mother's farm, and the winter jdays he passed at his carjx'ntcr's bench, doing such little jobs of sini- 'pie workmanship as the neighbors required. There was a village school, jPiridlll.U, 111 VIttll; ) fcasv. x aia zens met on winter evenings to read and discuss the Ixxiks which they possessed, and this young Garfield attended, picked up "such informa tion as he could in the capacity of a listener. All this time he had never Ikh ii taught to read or write, and no observer of this thoughful lxiy, list ening to the reading of a newspaper at the age of K), could by anv jwtssi ble means have forscen in him the future leader of a great national party. Beady money was a commodity of which the young farmer and car- icnter saw but little, and as the am otion to secure an education, which had been growing on him as his mind was opened to the events of the world in the village "school," could only be realized by means f money, he naturally oast about him for stne vocation which would bring him that article. The Ohio Canal passed within a short distance of the Garfield farm, and James dis covered that canal-men were paid in cash, and made better wages than lie could realize by farming and car jientering. In his seventeenth year he determined to become a canal-man, and secure a position as driver of one of the Wts. His care and at tention to his humble business at tracted the attention of his superiors, ami he was soon promoted to the more dignified post of holding the tiller of the boat. He continued in this business, saving what little of his earnings he could, for about IS months, until the fall oflS48, when he determined to advance a cti, nm! Kbin ns .a sailor on the lakes. At this time, however an at- Lucretia Rudolph, the daughter of a tack of fever and ague prevented ! former Hung near Hiram, whose ac his executing his plans, and drove quaintance he had made while him back to" his mother's house an i studying at the academy, were she invalid.

(Jarficld, instead: of burying himself in the forecastle j . ot a ship, became one of the leading j men in the American Ileptibhc. lie remameti prostrated m ins inoiiiers nouse lor inrcc moiuns, 1 -i al.a ... . 1 . ai . . ami uuriug inui- unw niaae me nc - quaintance of Samuel D, Bates, who was teaching the district school that winter. Bates had been attending the '"Geauga Seminary" in an ad joining county, and this conversa tion so fired the ambition of young Garfield, which had almost" died awav under the influence of his ca-nal-hoat associates, that he deter mined to forsake the idea of becom ing a sailor, and make an attempt to secure an education. He had man aged, with the aid of some friends, to learn to read, and could do sim ple sums in arithmetic, and with this knowledge as a basis he started, in March, 1849, for Chester, where the academy was situated. He was accompanied by a cousin and anoth er young man from his village, ami the three took with them frying pans and dishes, as they were tx jxxir to pay for bpard as well as ed ucation. They rented a room in an old, nnpainteti frame building, near the academy, and legaii to work. Garfield studied hard, and progress ed rapidly. His heart was in his work, and lie distanced many com x'titors who had enjoyed far better advantages than himself. He work ed morninirs, evenings and Satur days in the carpenter's shops of Chester, and thus managed to earn his living while prosecuting his stu dies. When the summer vacation came, he worked steadily, and thus created a fund to pay his tuition for the next term. At the end of this he had gained sufficient knowl edge to warrant him in teaching a district school, and thus by teaching in summer, and working hard even ings, he not only managed to pay the excuses of his own education at the academy, but to lay by a fund to pay for a collegiate course, uixm which he was determined to enter. In lS-'d he left the academy and went to the Hiram Eclectic Insti tute, whence he continued to prose cute his studies. In 1S54, Mr. Garfield then a man of 23 vears, concluded that he knew enouglt to pass examination for ad mission to college, and the only draw back in his way now was the money to pay for his course. During his five years of study and work, he had established a fund for this jiurjxise, but he had not lx.'cn able to accu mulate the necessary sum by several hundred dollars. His life at the academy, however, had established for him a reputation for honesty and jKTsistcncy of purjxise, which now st'xxl him in good stead. A gentleman agreed to advance him the money, taking as security a life insurance jxilicy, which the young man Ix-ing- healthy and robust, found no difficulty in securing. Pecuniary dilliculties 'being thus disposed of, he was ready to start, and, after canvassing the merits of several colleges, he settled upon Williams, at Williamstown, and in the fall of 1S.")4 he was admitted to the Junior class of that institution, lie was now thrust into the society tf jxilished young students, who looked somewhat contemptuously on the rough Western farmer and carix'iitt r who had dropped among them. His experience in a social rxiint of view was far from pleasant, and he was made the subject of many rude remarks and much ruder treatment. He had come to Wil liams, however, for a purpose, and that purjmse he kept steadily in view. Heedless of the slights which he constantly received, he applied 'nmscii tjiergeucaiiy io ms siuoies, and in Pin-), two years after his ad- . . , . nussion, he was graduated, beanng off the Metaphysical honor of his class, which is esiecmcu ai imams as among the highest within the gift of the institution to the graduating members. This was ample recom pense for. all the slights which he had endured while struggling for the high prize. Garfield was now 2" years of age, and had as the result of 2U year's la- lr, a collegiate education, his clothes, his I Kioks, his diploma, and a debt of S4oO. He had no time for leisure. His business was to find something to do, antl free himself from debt. Before going to college, he had joined the sect of the "Disci ples," better known as '"Campbel lites," from their founder Alexander Campbell. This sect had a numer ous membership in Ohio, and all the Garfield family were connected with it. The "Eclectic Institute," in Hi ram was the college of this sect, and it was natural that Mr. Garfield should turn his eyes to the strug gling little college which he had left as a pupil hut two years ln-fore. He returned to Hiram, where he was made Professor of I.atin and Greek in the institute. Plain living and high thinking was the order of the day at the institute. The teachers were poor, the pupils were poor, and the college was jxxir, but there was a great deal of hard, faithful study done, and many ambitious plans formed. Prof. Garfield, after the first year, Mas made President of the institution, and in this capac ity he not onlv taught and lectured, but preached. According to the creed of the "Disciples," any person having the jxjwcr was entitled to tireach, and the President of the col cge was expected to deliver a ser mon every Sunday as part ol Ins ol- ficial duty. President Garfield preached with great force, and his lame spread all through the Camp ixdlite settlement. It was this fact that gave rise to the story that he had ln-en a minister, a story which he has taken occasion to deny pub licly on several occasions. With all this work on his hands, President Garfield continued to study law, the profession which he had marked out for himself, but which he has never Wn called on to practice to any extent. In 1So7, while Professor of Iitin and Greek at the Eclectic Institute, Mr. Garheld was married lo married to Miss 07 JUNE 23, 1S80. hand's .rorxritv in life lias been dde to the quiet influence of the wife. j He purchased a little cottage front- j ing on the college campus, and they j Ix-gan their wedding life, poor, und i m tleht, hut with brave hearts. ; , .w w.w Mrs. 1 uarneiu ls a ouiet. tnoiirntml. and refined woman, fond of reading and study, and of a warm heart. Two vears after his marriage the political life of General Garfield began. His sermons luul attracted attention to him, and in 1S59 he was brought forward by the anti-slavery eople of Portage and Summit counties as their candidate for State Senator. He was elected by a large majority, and, voung as he was, he at once took liigh rank in the Ohio legisla ture, as a man unusually well in formed on the .subjects of legislation, and effective and powerful in debate. He seemed always prepared to speak, and always sixike fluently and well. When the secession of the Southern States liegan, Mr. Gar field's course was manly and out spoken, and he was among the fore most to maintain the right of the Na tional Government to coerce seceded States. When the time came forap jiointing the officers for the Ohio troops, the legislature was still in session, antl Garfield at once avowed his intention of entering the service. He had not resigned the Presidency of the Hiram Institute upon being elected to the Senate, but now he sent in his resignation, and prepar- cd to place himself and his abilities wholly at the service of the National Government. Gen. Garfield's military career was not of a nature to suhject him to trials on a large scale. He was appointed Colonel of the Forty-second Ohio' Regiment by Gov. Deiini son, August 14, lNtil, but it was not until December 14 that orders for the field were received. The regi ment was then "sent to Catlettsburg, Ky., and Col. Garfield was ordered to re tort to ( ien. Buell in erson. That oflieerassignetl him to the com mand of the Seventeenth Brigade, and ordered him to drive the rebels, forces under Humphrey Marshall out of the Sandy Valley, in Eastern Kentucky. (Jen. Buell was pre paring to advance on the relxl jxisi tion at Bowling Green, but until Marshall had been driven back, such an advance would h lx riloiis if not actually inixssihle. The un- tried Colonel of the raw Forty -second Ohio, undertook this task," and on his success the army of the depart- nient depended. Marshall had un - tier his command nearly o.WK) men. and to attack him Col. Garfield had four regiments of infantry and eight companies of cavalry. The reln-ls were stationed at the villiage of Paintville, I'wl miles up the Sandy Valley, but Marshall, hearing of the advance of Garfield, fell back to Prestonburg, leaving a small lxxly of cavalry at his old jxisition to pro tect his trains. On the tfth of Jan uary, 1W)2, Col. Garfield advanced on Marshall's new position, and his trtwps were rapidly pushing for ward in the fast gathering darkness, when Marshall abandoned his posi tion, fired his camp equipage and stores, and In-gan a retreat which was not ended until he had reached Abington, Ya. Col. Garfield pursu ed the Hying enemy the next day, ami some prisoners were taken, but the rcWIs had too long a start, and CoL Garfield finally gave over the pursuit This operation in the Sandy Valley was conducted with such energy ami skill as to receive the sjiecial commendation of the commanding General and the Gov ernment, and Col. Garfield was made Brigadier-General ine acknowledg ment of his services. On his arrival at Louisville, the Army of the Ohio was already lieyond Nashville, on its march to aid Grant at Pittsburg landing. General Garfield hasten ed after it, assumed command of the Twentieth Brigade, and reached the field of Pittsburg , landing on the second day of the battle, and partici pated in its closing scenes. The next day he moved with Sherman's advance, and had a sharp encounter with the enemy's rear guard a few miles Ijeyond the battle-field. His brigade Lxjre its full share in the te dious siege ojicration before Corinth, and was among the earliest in enter ing the abandoned town after Gen. Beauregard's evacuation. His old malady, fever and ague, contracted in the days of his tow path scrvice.was aggravated in tho malarious climate of the South, and ( Jen. Garfield was sent home on sick leave alxmt the first of August, 1S(2. 1 remaining until January, 1S63, when he was ordered to join Gen. Roseorans as Chief of Staff. In this osition he remained until his military career closet!. From the dav of his appoint ment he ooeame the intimate associ ate and confidential adviser of his chief, and bore a prominent part in in all the campaigns in Middle Ten nessee in the spring and summer of LSo.i. His last conspicuous military service was at the battle of Chicka niauga, Sep- 19 and 20, 18(5.', and for his bravery and generalship m that engagement he was promoted to the rank of Maior-General. At this point the military career of General Garfield practically came to an end. In 1S62, while absent with the Arm-, and without solicita tion on his part, he had been elected to Congress from the old Giddings district (the 19th,) in which he re sided, and believing that his path of usefulness lav in the direction to which his constituents iihted,he resigned his commission December 5th, 1863, and entered upon the du ties of a statesman's life. In Con gress he at once took a high rank, and from his admission to the House of Representatives to the present time he has been an active, energet ic, hard worker. He first served on the Committee on Military Affairs, where, by his activity, industry, and familiarity with the wants of the Armv, he did as signal service as he could have done in the field. He soon became known as a jKjwerful speaker, remarkably ready, and al ways effective in debate, while in tlic committees he proved himself an in valuable worker. His party renom inated him bv acclamation on the expiration of his term, and on his return to the House he was given a leading place on its leading commit tee on Ways and Means. Here he eralc sxui ros to jrreat inlluence. He ! studied the whole ranjre. of tinaneial questions with the assiduity of his college days, so that he is lxked Uton to-day as one of the ablest of our National financiers. He sbxxl by his partv, and his party stxxl bv hnn, re-t lectinz him successively to the Thirty-ninth, Fortieth, Forty- first. Forty-second. Fortv-third, For - tv-fourthForty-fifth and Forty-sixth Congresses. During these several terms he has served as the Chairman of the Committee on Military Af- fairs, of the Committee on Banking and Currency, and of the Appropna- turns (. omnnttec. 1 his last Chair manship he held until 1S75, when the Democrats came into power. Two years later, when James G.

He stands (' feet high, and is broad shouldered and strongly built. His head is unusually large, and his forehead remarkably high. He wears light-brown hair and beard, ami has light blue eyes, a prominent nose and full cheeks. He usually wears a slouch hat. ami always dresses plainly. He is temperate in all things except brain work, and is devoted to his wife and children, of whom he has live living, two having died in infancy. The two older boys, Harry and James, are attending school in New Hampshire, while the two younger, Irwin and Abram, live with their parents. His only daugh ter, Mary, is a handsome, rosy-cheeked girl of alxiut twelve. 1 lis mother is still livina, and forms one of his family. General Garfield has a house in Washinsrton, where he nends his winters, and a farm in Mentor. Lake count v Ohio, where he spends all his time when not en gaged at the capital.

General Chester A Arthur was horn in Franklin County, Vt., l la 110. He is the oldest of a family of two sons and five daughters. His father was the Rev. William Arthur. a Baptist clergyman, who emigrated to this country from the County of Antrim, Ireland, in his eighteenth year, and died Oct.. 27. 1873. in JSewtonville, near Aloany. Lr. Ar thur was in many resjxjcts a remarka ble man. He acquired extended fame not only in his calling, but also in the domains of authorship. His work on "Family Names" is re garded the world over as one of the curiosities of English erudite litera ture. From 1-S.w to LSfrJ he was Pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church of tliis city. He also filled the pul pits of Baptists churches at Ben nington, llainesburg, Fairfield, and Williston, in Vermont and York, Perry, ( Jrecnwich, Schenectady, Lan singburg, Hoosic, West Troy, and .Newton ville, in this State.

" General Arthur was educated at Union (Allege, and was graduated in the class of "4'.. After leavin-' I college he taught i country school during two years in Tremont, and 1 then, having managed by rigid economy to save atxnit 8of, he started for this city, and entered the j law office of cx-Jmlge E. D. Culver j as a student. After U-ing admitted i to the Bar, he formed a partnership with his intimate friend and room mate, Henry D. Gardner, with the intention of practising in the West, and for three months they roamed ! alxmt in the estem States in search medal to his widow in recognition of, eulture and wide experience, an able the conspicuous bravery he display- i lawyer, with refined tastes, and man sion that occasion. 'Mrs. Ait1iurtrs of the utmost geniality. died onlv :i short time ago. In is."2, Jonathan and Juliet Lcm ninii, Virginia slave holders, intend ing to emigrate to Texas, came to this city to await the sailing of a steamer, bringing eight slaves with them. A writ of habeas corpus was I obtained from Judge Paine to test the question whether the provisions of the Fugitive Slave law were in force in this State. Judge Paine rendered a decision holding that they were not, and ordering the Icmnion slaves to be liberated. Henry d. i union was one oi i"e counsel tor the slaveholders. A howl ot rage went up lrom tlic Nnith, and the Virginia Legislature authorized the Attorney-General of that State to 1 1 1 1 1 ! Court ot the I nited States. Charles ; O'Conor here espoused the eau-e of the slaveholders, but lie, tx. was beaten by Messrs. Evarts ami Ar thur, and a long step was taken to wards the emancipation of the black race. Another great service was rendered by General Arthur ill the same cause in lS-"r. Lizzie Jen nings, a respectable co' -r.tl woman, was put oft a Foiirt.i -aven ie ear with violence, after she had p id her fare. General Arthur sued n her behalf, and secured a vt lii-tn' "0 damages. The next da the com pany issued an order to -. riuit col ored persons to ride on their cars, and the other t-oiiipunit'S 'ui"kly followed their example.

In lS6l' he "held the post of Inspector-General, and soon afterward advanced to that of Qiirtermaster-General, which he held until the expiration of Morgan's term of office. No higher enconium can be passed upon him than the mention of the fact that, although the war account of the State of New York was at least ten times larger than that of any other State, yet it was the first audited and allowed in Washington, antl without the deduc tion of a dollar, while the (Quarter master's accounts from other States were reduced from 81,000,000 to 810,000,(XO. During his term of office every present sent to him was immediately returned.

When Tildcn sent 7.. to Cincinnati in l.S7t, to carry the elec tion for the Democrat, Holland was I employed bv the partv leaders to t nioIll.v w put money where it would do the most gtxx.l.
