H. HID I CO., jn/FEDERAL STREET, lH ALLEGHENY. OUR NEXT PRESIDENT. A Brief Sketch of the Life of a Self- Made Man — His Career in the Field and in Congress. A Sk etch of the Coming 1 'ice Presi dent. The following sketch of the nominee was prepared by Mr. E. V. Smalley, a personal and political friend, and is ac curate in its details, as .veil as a just estimate of the charactc, of the man who will be our next "'resident: James Abraham Garfie'd waborn November 19, 1831, in the township of Orange, Cuyahoga county, Ohio, about fifteen miles from Clevela id. P's father, Abraham Garfield, c me from New York, but like his mother, was of New England stock. James was the youngest of four children. The father died in 1833, leaving the family de pendent upon a small farm and the ex ertions of the mother. There was nothing about the elder Garfield to distinguished him from the other plod ding farmers of the rather sterile town ship of Orange. No one could discern any qualities in h' n *vhicb, transmitted to the next gen?ra 'on, might help to make a statesman, unless it was indus try ; but his wife, who is still living at an advanced age, ,ves always fond of reading when she could get leisure from her hard hoi'se old duties, and was a thoroughly cap b'e woman, of strong w'll, stern principles aid more than average force of character. Of the children, no one besides James has made the slightest mark in the world. The older brother is a farmer in Michi gan, and the two sister* are, I believe, farmers' wives. James had a tough time of it as a boy. He toiled hard on the farm early and late in summer and worked at the carpenter's bench in win ter. The best of it was that he liked work. There was not a lazy hair on his head. He had an absorbing ambition to get an education and the only road open to this end see red that of manual labor. Beady money was hard to get in those days. The Oliio Canal ran not far from where he lived, and find ing that the boatmen got their pay in cash and earned better wages than he could make at farming or carpentry, he hired out as a driver on the tow-path and soon got up to the dignity of hold ing the helm of a boat Then he de termined to ship as a sailor on the ' kec, b,it jin attack of fever and ague interfered with his plars. He was ill three months, and when he recovered he decided to go to a school called Geauga Acadeny, in an adjoining county. His mother bad saved a small sum of money, which she gave him, to gether with a few cooking utensils and a stock of provisions. He hired a small room and cooked his own food to make his expenses as light as possible. He paid his own way after that, never calling on his mother for any more as sistance. By working at the carpen ter's bench mornings and evenings and vacation times, and teaching country schools during the winter, he managed to attend the academy during the spring and fall terms, and to save a little money towards going to college. He had excellent health, a robust frame and a capital memory, and the attempt to combine mental and physical work, which has broken down many farmer boys ambitious to get an education, did not hurt him OAHFIEI.I) AT COLLIGJ. When he was twenty-three years of age he concluded he had got about all there was to l>e had in the obscure cross roads academy Ho calculated that lie had saved about half enough money to get through college, provided he could begin, as he hoped, with the junior year. He got a life insurance policy and assigned it to a gentleman as security for a loan to make up the amount he lacke'V In the fall of 18f>4 je eotered the junior CITISS of Williams College, Massachusetts, and graduated in 1850 w'th the metaphysical honors of his class. I have seen a daguerreo type of him tak"n about this time. It represents a ra'her awkward youth, w : th a shock of light hair standing straight up from a big forehead, and a frank, thoughtful face, of a very marked German type. There is not a drop of German blood in the Garfield family, but this picture would be taken for some Fritz or Carl just over from the Fatherland. Before he went to college Garfield had connected himself with the Disci ples, a sect having a.numcrous mem bership in Eastern and Southern Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky, where its founder, Alexander Campbell, had traveled and preached. The principal peculiarit : es of the denomination are their refusal to formula e their beliefs into a croed, the independence of each congregation, the hospitality and fra ternal feeling of the members and the lack of a regular ministry. When Gar field returned to Ohio it was natural that he should soon gravitate to the struggling little college of the young sect at Hiram, Portage county, near bis boyhood's home. He became pro fessor of Latin and Greek and threw himself with the energy and industry, which are leading traits of bis charac ter into the work of building up the in stitution. Before he had been two years in his professorship he was ap pointed president of the college. Hiram is a lonesome country village, three miles from a railroad, built upon a high hill, overlooking twenty miles of cheese making country to the southward. It contains fifty or sixty houses clustered around the green, in the centre of which stands the homely red brick col lege structure. Plain living and high thinking was the order of things at Hi ram College in those days. The teach ers were poor, the pupils were poor and the institution was poor, but there was a great deal of hard, faithful study done and many ambitious plans form ed. The young president taught, lec tured and preached, ami all the time studied as diligently as any acolyte iu the temple of knowledge. He frequent ly spoke on Sundays in the churches of the towns in the vicinity to create an interest in the college. Among the Disciples any one can preach who has a mind to, no ordination Iwirig requir ed. From these S»f"' a y discourses came the story that Garfield at ono time was a minister. He never consid ered himself such and never had any iutention of finding a career in the pul pit. His ambition, if be had any out side of the school, lay iu the direction of law and politics. HIS MARRIAGE. During his professorship Garfield married Miss Lucretia Budolph, daugh ter of a farmer in the neighborhood, whose rcqjaintince he had made while at the academy, where she was also a pupil. She was a quiet, thoughtful girl, of singularly sweet aud refined disposition, fond of study and reading possessing a warm heart and a mind with the capacity of steady growth. The marriage was a love affair on both sides and has been a thoroughly happy one. Much of Gen. Garfield's subse quent success in life may be attributed to the never-failing sympathy and in tellectual companionship of his wife and the stimulus of a loving home cir cle. The young couple bought a neat little cottage fronting on the college campus and began their wedded life poor and in deljt, but with brave hearts. In 1359 the college president was elected to the State Senate from the counties of Portage and Summit. He did not resign his presidency, because he looked upon the few months ir. the legislature as an episode not likely to change the course of his life. But the war came to alter his plans. During the winter of 1861 he was active in the passage of meisures for arming the State militia, and his eloquence and en ergy made him a conspicuous leader of the Union party. Early in the summer he was elected Colonel of au infantry regiment (the Forty-second) raised in northern Ohio, many of the soldiers in which had been students at Hiram. He took the field in eastern Kentucky, was soon put in command of a brigade, and by making one of the hardest marches ever made by recruits surpris ed and routed the rebel forces,'under Humphrey Marshall, at Piketon. From eastern Kentucky General Gar field was transferred to Louisville, and from that place hastened to join the ar my of Gen. Buell, which he reached with his brigade in time to participate in the second day's fighting at Pitts burgh Landing He took part in the operations along the Memphis and Charleston Railroad. In January, 18(53, he was appointed Chief of Staff of the Army of the Cumberland and bore a prominent share in all the cam paigns in middle Tennessee in the spring and summer of that year. His last conspicuous military service was at the battle of Chiekamauga. For his conduct in that battle he was promoted to a Major-generalship. It is said that he u.-ooi all the orders given to the army that day, and submitted them to Gen. Itosecrans for approval, save one. The one he did not write was the fatal order to General Wood, which was so worded as not to correctly convey the meaning of the commanding general, and which caused the destruction of the right wing of the army. ELECTION TO CONGRESS. The Congressional district in which Garfield lived was the one long made famous by Joshua R. Giddings. The old anti-slavery champion grew care less of the arts of politics towards the end of his career and came to look upon a nomination and re-election as a mat ter of course. His over-confidence was taken advantage of in 1858 by an am bitious lawyer named Hutch ins to car ry a convention againHt him. The friends of Giddings never forgave Hut chins, and cast about for a means of de feating him. The old man himself was comfortably quartered in his Consulate at Montreal and did not care to make a fight to get back to Congress. So his supporters made use of the popularity of Gen. Garfield and nominated him while he was in the field without ask ing his consent. That was in 1802. When he heard of the nomination Gar field reflected that it would be fifteen months l>efoic the Congress would meet to which he would be elected, and believing, as did every ono else, that the war could not possibly last a year longer, concluded to accept. I have often heard him express regret that he did not help fight the war through, and say that Jic never would have left the army to go to Congress had he foreseen that the struggle would continue be yond the year 1863. He continued his military s r 'vice up to the time Con gress met. On entering Congress in Deceml>er, 1863, Gen. Garfield was placed upon the Committee on Military Affairs, with Schenck and Fransworth, who were fresh from the field. He took an active part in the debates of the House and won a recognition which few mem bers succeeded in gaining. He was not popular among his follow members during bis first term. They thought him something of a pedant because he sometimes showed his scholarship in his speeches, and thfty were jealous of his prominence. His solid attainments and amiable social qualities enabled him to overcome this prejudice during his second term, and he became on terms of friendship with the best men in both houses. His committee service during his second term was on the Ways and Means, which was quite to his taste, for it gave him an oppor tunity to prosecute the studies of finance and political economy which he had always felt a fondness for. He was a hard worker and a great reader in those days, jfoing home with his arms full of books from the Congressional Library, and sitting up late nights to read them. It was then that he laid the foundation of the convictions on the subject of national finance which he has since held to firmly amid all the storms of political agitation. He was renominated in 1864, without opposi tion, but in 1866, Mr. Hutchins, whom lie liad supplanted, made an effort to defeat him. Hutchins canvassed the district thoroughly, but the convention nominated Garfield by acclamation. He has had no opposition since in his own party. In 1872 the Liberals and Democrats united to beat him, hut his majority was larger than ever. In IH7H the Greenbackers and Democrats com bined put up ft populnr soldior against him, but they made no impression on | the result. The Ashtabula district, as | it is generally called, is tbo most faith- fill to its representative of any in the north. It has had but four members iu half a century. HIS WORK IN CONGRESS. In the Fortieth Congress Gen. Gar field was chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs. In the Fortr-first he was given the chairmanship of banking and currency, which he liked much better, because it was in the line of his financial studies. His next promotion was to the chairman of the appropriations committee, which be held until the Democrats came into power in the House in 1875. His chief work on that committee was a steady and judicious reduction of the expenses of the government. In all the political struggles in Congress he has borne a leading part, his clear, vigorous and moderate style of argument making him one of the most effective deba ters in either House. When .Tames G. Blaine went to the Senate, in 1877, the mantle of Repub lican leadership in the House was by common consent placed upon Garfield, and he has worn it ever since. In Jan uary last Gen. Garfield was elected to the Senate to the seat which will 1k» vacated by Allen G. Thurman on the 4th of March, 1881. He received the unanimous vote of the Republican cau cus, an honor never given to any man of any party in the State of Ohio. Since his election he has been the re cipient of many complimentary mani festations in Washington and in Ohio. GARFIELD AS A LEADER. Asa leader in the House he is more cautious and less dashing than Blaine, and his judicial turn of mind makes him too prone to look for two sides of a question for him to be an efficient par tisan. When the issue fairly touches his convictions, however, he becomes thoroughly aroused and strikes tre mendous blows. Blaine's tactics were to continually harass the enemy by sharpshooting surprises and pickot fir ing' Garfield waits for an opportunity to deliver a pitched battle, and his gen eralship is showed to best advantage when the fight is a fair one and waged on grounds where each party thinks itself strongest. Then his solid shots of argument are exceedingly effective. ( On the stump Garfield is one of the very best orators in the Republican party. He has a good voice, an air of evident sincerity, great clearness and vigor of statement and a way of knit ting his arguments together so as to make a speech deepen its impression on the mind of the hearer until the cli max is reached. Of his industry and studious habits a great deal might be said, but a sin gle illustration will have to suffice here Once during the business part of a very busy session at Washington I found him in his library, behind a big barricade of books. This was no unus ual sight, but when I glanced at tho volimns I saw that they were all dif ferent editions of Horaca, or books re lating to that poet. "I find that lam overworked, and need recreation," said the General. "Now my theory is that the loard, large, light blue eyes, a prominent nose and full cheeks. He dresses plainly, is fond of broad-brim mod slouch hats and stout boots, eats heartily, cares nothing for luxurous living, is thoroughly temperate in all respects save in that of brainwork, and is devoted to his wife and children and very foud of his country home. Among men he is genial, approaohabie and a remarkably entcrtainiug talker. SKETCH OF CHESTER A. ARTHUR. Gen. Chester A. Arthur, the nomi nee of the Rapublican party for the Vice Presidency, is one of the best known politicians in the State of New York. He is a man of high character, strict integrity, and of fine intellectual power. He is a native of the State of New York, and is now close upon fifty years of age. For the most of his life he has l>ecn engaged in mercantile pursuits. He served in the war of the rebellion, winning his way to the rank of Major General. During the period that he filled the position of Collector of the Port of New York, he was noted for his fine executive ability. The of fice was exceptionally well managed, and when President Hays removed him, along with Cornell and Sharpe, it was expressly stated that no fault was found with his administration of the office. He was removed because, in defiance of the famous civil service order of the President, he took an ac tive part in State politics, serving on the State Central Committee and go ing to conventions. He was one of Coukling's most trusted lieutenants, and has been frcequently spoken of of late as a candidate for the United States Senate to succeed Senator Kernan. • THE DEAD EMPRESS. PARIS, June I.—A St. Petersburg correspondent telegraphs the following this afternoon. The ceremony of the translation of the remains of the Em press from the Winter Palace to the fortress took place to-day according to the programme forwarded to you yes terday. The rains, which fell in tor rents all the morning, ceased at twelve o'clock, just as the cortege began to move. All the bells of the city gave out mournful peals and the cannon of the fortress and of two war vessels moored along the quays kept up a continual fire while the funeral car pursued its majestic course. The Em jieror, wearing a gray military cloak and apparently very much affected, followed on horseback, attended by all the Russian and foreign Princes. Af ter crossing the Neva, the cortege en tered the fortress, the cannon ceased and the religious service ceased. AT THE CATHEDRAL. On arriving at the fortress all thotia who were at the funeral car withdrew. Two heralds guarded the door of the cathedral. The Ministers, Senators and dignitaries entered and took their places in the church, where the diplo matic corps were already assembled with their wives and such of the mem bers of the court as had not taken part in the procession. The Archbishop commenced chanting the mass. When the funeral car drew up at the entrance of the church, four chamberlains re moved the mortuary cloth and took it into the cathedral. Then the Empe ror, the Grand Dukes, the Prince Im perial of Germany, the Archduke Wil liam, of Australia, the Duke of llesse and the Duke of Mecklenburg raised the coffin, carried it into the church and placed it in the catafalque. They were preceded by the Metropolitan, who is the head of all the clergy, and were aided in carrying the coffin by six grenadiers of the palace, six sub officers of the curnssiers, the regiment of the Empress and five Cossacks. ROYAL MOURNERS. The of Greece, the Czareona, the Duchess of Edinburg and all the Grand Duchesses descended from their carriages and entered the chathedral. Their long mourning trains wore borne each by four pages. They took seats in tho front. Their four Chamberlains removed the lid of tho coffin and ex posed to view tho body, which was covered with the imperial mantal. On the upjH;r cstrade of the catafalque six captains of the guard took tbeif places, and on the six steps 12 pageß, cadents, sub-officers and timple sol diers surrounded the catafalque. All this took place to the sound of relig ious music. Then the Metropoltian, with tho whole of the higher clergy, sang the offee for the dead. This lasted about an hour, after which tho Emperor, tho Princes and Ihe Princesses withdrew. Every one of course followed them, and their remained round the catafal que only the service of tho guard. THE VAULT where the body is to bo lowered on Wednesday is already prepared. It was constructed by a French architect named Poiuuiier, and is two yards wide by two long. During the cere mony it was covered by boards, over which a carpet was spread. A coffin of.copper lies at the bottom. This will receive tho shell in which tho body now reposes, and will then bo closed. There will then IKS closed.
