Vice President Arthur.
We reprint from the Washington cor
respondent of the New Tork Times a re
markable incident in the sorrowful histo
ry of passing events, which we venture
to prophesy will not be overlooked when
the chronicles of our day and generation
shall come hereafter to be written. We
refer to the writer's recent visit to the
Vice President in the seclusion of his
present abiding place at the National
capital, whither lie has been called by the
Cabinet to meet the possible emergency
of the President's demise. No one can
read this account without being struck
with the unpretending truthfulness of its
statements; and no one can believe them
to be true without feeling the deepest
sympathy for the man upon whom may
possibly devolve duties more delicate and
burthens heavier in public station than
ever fell to the lot of mortal to encounter
in all our history. The picture of a
strong man's sorrow is at all times pite
ous enough, but that presented by the
solitary attitude ofthe Vice President as
seen through the simple and touching
narrative of the Times correspondent, set
in the light of contemporary events,
must move feelings of commiseration no
prejudice can lessen, 110 one with a spark
of humanity in his nature can fail to en
tertain. Of all the attendant evidences of
grief that group themselves around the
stricken Chief Magistrate, echoed from
every corner of the globe, none are more
powerful—none are so suggestive as
those that fall from the deep sincerity of
the Vice President's uuntterable afllic
. tiou. One hears out of the [depths of it
the murmur of the prayer: "Would that
this cup might pass from me!"
Were it to face the crisis of such a ca
lamity as this foul deed has brought to
the President's possible successor, under
circumstances calculated to assuage to
the uttermost the suddenness of the
shock, bravely to stand up under it,would
task to its last limit a strong man's
strength. But when, as the writer tells
us in effect, the evil eye of suspicion
dares to follow on the footsteps and hang
upon the "movements" ofthe man whom
it has been miserable mockery to call
"the beneflcary" of this frightful dispen
sation—then indeed is there need of sym
pathy for him to whom fate has allotted
such a terrible experience. Blistered be
the tongue of evil innuendo! blinded be
the eye ihat watcncs for signs of such
significance as throw the suspicion of
complacency upon him who waits upon
this awful trial! If faction be not si
lenced in the presence of this fell calami
ty, if partisan rancor be not forgotten,
and, to the credit of our common human
ity left to shrivel up—out of sight, out of
mind—then indeed have we fallen upon
an evil age: then
"—judgement thou art fled to brutish beasts.
And men have lost their reason!"
To surround the Vice President in the
midst of this great woe with all the mor
al support the Nation can command,is not
only a decent and a decorous thing, but
in view ofthe infectious character of such
an act as has laid the generous-hearted
Garfield low—it is a duty every citizen
owes to his country,her good order,lierfair
fame and her place among the nations of
the earth, to his own manhood, to the
commonest instincts of humanity. Let
us have done with this infamous palter
ing of' 'beneficiary,"once and for all ;letthe
heart of every citizen go out in sympathy
for him who is of the living sufferers
from this calamity, who, it is but simple
justice to say, should share our solicitude
with him who lies stricken nigh unto
death; letTsuch a sentiment prevail, in
proof, if that were needed, of how deep
ly all good men must deplore the awful
extremity that begets it for them both.
Vice-President Arthur remained all day at the
residence of Senator Jones of Neyada. He received
messages from time to time showing the condition
of the President. Quite a number of persons called
at the house, but many did not succeed in seeing
the Vice-President, who was apparently not in good
health. To tell the truth, Mr. Arthur has suffered
severely in mind since receiving news of the Presi
dent's shooting. The opportunities for misrepre
sentation have been so many that it would be very
surprising if some were not taken advantage of.
Many of the statements which have been made a
bout him the Times' correspondent has good reason
for believing to be untrue. Ilis demeanor while in
this city has been very carefully watched. As the
possible President, his actions have heen made the
subject of very general scrutiny, and those who
have observed him most closely are loudest in their
praises of his conduct. lie is not disposed to com®
plain, and does not, of the many unfair criticisms
which have been made in print by men who were
piqued because he was not as approachable to them
as they in dignity deemed lie should be. ne is, in
fact, not in condition to complain. He was stunned
at the announcement of the attempt to assassinate
the President, and he is still in a kind of stupor.
He sees, of course, what is going on, and has not
lost possession of ids faculties, but he is overwhelm
ed by the magnitude of calamity and ofthe task which
he may be called upon to perform. Those who saw
him a year or more ago, when death entered his
own family and took his beloved wife, fancy that
they see a resemblance in his present condition to
the state in which that sad event plunged him.
There is no doubt that he is suffering keenly. No
one can look 011 bin for a moment without being
convinced of that fact. lie cannot, if he would, con
trol the evidences of his feelings.
A correspondent of the Times called on him this
afternoon and louud him sitting thoughtfully and
alone 011 a covered sofa in one of Senator Jones's
parlors. Everything around was in confusion. The
house had been shut up for the summer, and the
occupants were not expected until the fall. The
furniture seemed to be piled in the room without
regard to its arrangement. Amid these surround*
ings sat Mr. Arthur, with head bowed down and
looking vacantly out through a low, open window.
The entrance of a visitor caused him to look up and
gave the observer an opportunity of seeing the im
pression which the calamity of Saturday has left
on his countenance. Tears stood in his eyes, and
the orbs themselves were bloodshot. On his face
were the traces of recent weeping. He would trust
himself to speak but little, and was evidently afraid
of being overcome by his emotions. Ilis whole
manner, rather than the words he uttered, showed
a deep feeling and of evidently genuine Sympathy
which would astonish even many of those who
think thoy know the man well.
