Sorrow with the Living. Tar order and request of the Govern- ment of Canada, which we publish in ancther column, are in accord with the profound feeling of tiis country, and will, we are sure, be geaerally observed. The United States mourn the their official head—a man who fairly won the respect, confidence, and admira- tion of the nation. Ii is truth to say that the Euglish people throughout the world, from the Queen io t!e poorest of her subjects,are in sympathy with (hem. The loss of the nation, the sufferings of the man, the desolation of bis widow and family, and, above ail, the cause of his death, are.all subjects: f deep regret and sorrow to the civilized world—and es- pecia'ly to Canadians.

Tue attack of the Pafriot upon the appraiser at this Port was, ws find, a displeasing surprise to almost every merchant in Charlottetown, We know Mr. Hogg gives the ui most satisfaction, consisteat with a careful performaace of ihe daties ot his office, to the leading firms of the city ; aud we believe he gives satisfaction to all. When we say that members of such firms as Messrs. George Davies & Co., Messrs. Perkins & Sterns, Messrs. W. & A. Brown & Co., have authorized us to say they have found the appraiser a careful and obliging official, we think it will not ba necessary to offer further proof tha: the Patriot has blundered. In its ceosure of public olficials the Patriot should show some discretion. Customs Union of the British Empire. The Conference of Trades Unions which met at Westminster Palace Hotel on the Sth and Ith of September, had under consideration a resolution of which the following was one of the proposi- tions: “That the members of this conference eogage to co-operate, irres- pective of party politics, in the most strenuous legitimate efforts to induce the Government and Legisla- tures of Great Britain and her colonies and dependencies to enter into negotia- tions for the abolition of all tariffs ia re- straint of free trade throughout the Empire, and, if need be, for the creation «fan Tenparial fees) or euatom union, 2« faraz possibl: in accurdeuce wich aud eonfirmatory of the principles of univer- sal Free Trade.” —————— - 9 -~<DO & he Premier at Heme. (Frem the St. John News.) As expected, Sir John A. Macdonald reached Quebec on Saturday. His re- turn to Canada is quite aw event. The most gratifying consideration con- nected therewith is, that he has returoed - ith completely restored health, There is ua doubt that he left Canada in the spring with health sadly shattered, afilicted with a disease that even some skilful and friewdly doc- tors feared would end fatally, and fom which the most intelligent of his oppon- ents felt sure he could not recover; hence their interesting speculation for mouths as to who might be select- ed to succeed him in the leader- ship of his party. These fears and con- victions have happily proved ill-founded. Sir John has returned not only with health improved but re-established, his disease having beeu eradicated and his sirengih having been perfectly renewed. This is gratifying in the extreme to al] thoughttal Canadians, having no per- sonal pelitical interest in his renova! from the political arena. There is much public work yet to be done ia the per- formance of which it is highly desirable that Sir John should take a leudiog part. Sir John, though resting for months in England, found hiiaself in a position, nevertheless, to render good service to Canada during his retirement in the Mother Country. His testimony concern- ing the vastly increased interest in Cana- dian affairs taken in England now is particularly pleasing. Much of this in: creased interest is due to Sir John’s own policy aud personal e forts. As was anticipated, Sir Johu met with a very hearty welcome home on his ar- rival at Quebec. Not less warmly will he be greeted at Otiawa. Not less heartily would he be welecmed in any ether important city or town in the Do- minion. —_e > >» --— Daring the month of August, more rain in§depth fell in New Brunswick than in any other Province of the Dominion: ‘The fall in Ontaric was 1.72 inches; in Quebec, 3.54 inches; in Nova § cotia, 2.95 inches; in P.

James Asran Ganrretp was born, 19th November, 1931, in a log house in the town- ship ef Orange, Cuyahoga Coanty, in north- eastern Ohic. He was the son of Abram Garfield, and the niuth in direct descent from Mdward Garfield, who emigrated from near Chester, on the border ef Walesa, 1636, and settled im Watertown, Massachus- setts. When the future President was but two years old his father died, leaving his widow in straightened circumstrnces to manage a half-cleared farm and provide sus- tenance for her four little children. Brave- ly did this noble woman struggle on, and it was through ber self-devotion and the self-sacrifice of his elder brother that James A. Garfield was evabled to fit himself fer a career of henor and usefulness. After leaving school, he worked for a while with a black-salter near Cleveland, but being seized with a desire te go out into the great world and carve for hineslf a vame, young Garficid went to Cleveland in qugst ef em- ployment. After repeated rebufis. he tinally secured a job as tow boy on a canal beat at which work he continued but four months. Returning home he determined to fit himeelf for a higher walk in life, and for nine years this homespun lad of sixteen pursued his end till he was graduated at tweaty-five with the highest honors of an Eastern institution. [twas while at the Geauga Academy that he met his future wife, Lucretia Rudolphe, the daughter of a farmerin the neighbder- hood, ‘a quiet, thoughtful girl, of singu- larly sweet and refined disposition, fond of atudy and reading, and possessing a warm heart, and a mind capable of steady geowth.” Wor three years he studied at the Academy, then entered on a bigher courss at the Eolectie Institute, and in 1551 commenced his course at Hiram Col- lege, paying for his education by acting as janiter and bell-ringer of the very insiitu- tion over which he afterwards presided. Frem Hiram College he went to Williams’ University, where he was graduatsd, and shortly afterwards was elected teacher of Latin and Greek in the college at Hiram. In 1858, while ocoupying this position, he was married to Miss Lucretia Rudelphe, and that lady proved herself a most eflicient helpmate in his studies and college life. Garfield threw all his energies into the work of buiiding up the institution on a solid foundation, and so popular did he be- come that at the end of 1858 he was made President of the College—a position which he resigned on the breaking out of the rebellion to accept the command of the 42nd Ohio Volunteers. Bis first campaign was against the Confed- erate General Humphrey Marshall, who had invaded Eastern Kentuck from the Virginia border,wit) the intention of hang- ing oun General Bueli’s flank while General Beauregard atvacked him in front. It was to thwart this plan and te hold Kentucky fast to the Union that Garfield was selected by Gen. Buell. With 1,100 men he attack- ed and reuted Marshall’s force of 5,000, strongly entrenched at Middle .Craek and supported by artillery; fellowing this up with another rattline victory soon after wish sent Aiarshal’s army flying in great disorder ont of East Kentucky. Shorily afterwards Col. Garfield, who was officially thanked by Gen. Buell for his services, re- csived a commission as Brigadier-General of Volunteers, to date from the battle of Middle Oreek, ani thenceforward the mili- tary career of General Garfield was merged into the Army of the Cumberland. Hs serred for a short time under General Rosecrans, but was soon transferred to General Buell’s department, being present, ascommander ef the 20th Brigade, Cth Division of the Army of the Ohio, at the second day’s fight at Shiloh. He con- tinned with Buell’s army in its oper- ations around Corinth and on its subse- quent march across Northern Alabama. His leat service in the army was at the battic of Chickamagua, one of the bloediest contests of the war, at the close of which twenty thousand men lay en the field stil! in death. A fortnight later the War De- partment commissioned him a Major-Gen- eral for gallant conduct and important ser- vices ia that battle. Elected to Congress from the 19th Dis- trict of Ohio, on the 4th December, 1363, Garfield resigned his new rank as Major- General and the next day took his seat in the House of Representatives, the youngest member of that body, as he had been the yeungest brigadier in the army. His ser- vices in Congress were as valuable te the country as his services in the field; and his actions were endorsed by the people of his district at every election, until he was. elevated to the United States Senate by -the State Legislature of Ohio. As a political and party leader he was actively identified with the Recon- struction legislation which occupied the at- tention of Congress for a long time after the close of the war, and he stood second to none in ability, integrity and reseurces as a legislator. He was called to the most respensible positions in the gift of his party in Congress, and finally to the Presidency. The later incidents of Garfield’s career are so fresh in the minds of our readers that they are readily recalled. It is sufticient here to say that he was a fine type of the modern American statesman. He was a ‘“self made man” in the fullest meaning of that term. He had large sympathy with the people—the whole people. He was s clean handed man. While many in Con- gress enriched themselves through the opportunities thrown in their way, Garfield lived and died powr. He made a great reputation, a good reputation, after a man- ly, noble fashion, and will stand next to Lincoln, among martyred Presidents, ia the esteem and the affection of the people. —- ——-— --¢ -~ ow -0-———_-- Literary Notes. The success of Harper’s ‘‘ Franklin Square Song Collection” has been so great that the publishers now announce an edition in cloth bindiag. Theres so much variety in the book that every taste may be satisfied, but one of its strongest claims to popularity is the number of old songs that are out of print or long forgottan which may be found between its covers. The charm ef out-of-deor life is making it self known to more people every year, and the books that treat of nature or life in the Open air are consequently becoming more and more popular. To meet growing taste, the Messrs. Harper have prepared a new edition of ** camp life; or, The Tricks of Trapping and ‘Trap making,” with illustrations by W.

(From the St. John Telegraph. ) Chester Allan Arthur, who now becomes President of the United States, is fifty years of age, avd anative of Fairfield County, Vermont. His father was a Bapt- ist minister, who came from England to Canada and later wentto the United States The Vice-President’s early education was obtained in a country school near ‘Troy, in the neighhorheod of whieh his father preached. He was afterwards sent to Union College, from whieh he was graduated in 1848. He then studied law, aud in 1850 he was admitted to the bar. He formed a law partnership with Erastus D. Calver, who wus afterwards American Minister to a South American Sta‘e. On the election of Mr. Culver as judge of a civil court in Brooklyn, the partnership was dissolved aud General Arthur went inate partnership witha Mr. Gardner, who died about 1865. In 1871 the firm of Arthur, Phelps & Knevals was formed, with Genera! Arthur as the senior partner, and the late District-Attorney Benjamin K. Phelps as another partner. Shortly be- fore General Arthur was appointed one of the counsel] to the Board of Tax Commia- ssioners at $10, )0 a year. The only legal case of note in which Gen. Arthur acted as counsel was in the suit of Jonathan Lem- mons, of Virginia, to recover possession of eight slaves that had been declared free by Paine of the Superior Court of New York. Lemmons had been incautiously passing through New York with his slaves, intend- ing te ship them to Texas, when they were discovered and freed by an order of Judge Paine, who was of the opinion that the Fugi- tive Slave Act did not hold the slaves. The State of Virginia directed its Attorney General to appeal from the de- cision. Thereupon the Legislature of New York directed the Governer to employ coun sel to defend the slaves. E. D. Culver and Joseph Blunt were appointed, but with- drew, and afterwards William M. fEvarts and Gen. Arthur were retained as counsel fer the slaves. The decision of Judge Rainie was sustained by the Supreme Court, and also affirmed by the Supreme Court ef Appeals. In 1856 Gen. Arthur prosecuted a eity car-line on behalf of Liz- zie Jennings, a colored woman, and super- intendent of a Sunday Schoel, who was roughly ejected from a car because of her color. The case was tried before Judge Roekwell in Brooklyn, and the jury gave the plaintiff $500 damages. Gen Arthur got his militaay title throngh services on the staff of Gov. D. Mergan.

Te the Editor of the Examiner. Sin,—My last letter to your paper was so effectual in promptly removing a ygriev- ance ef long standing from the Summerside Pest Office, that lam encenraged to resort te your columns again—tbis time to com. plain of the loose way in whick the busi- ness is transacted in the office. In vielation of the rules of the departinent, the office is so public that it is little better than a read- ing room. When the mails arrive, favored individuals are allowed to rush in, read the papers, aad sometimes assist in assorting the mails. Business men do not wish te have their correspondence sorutinized by their cowpotiters in trade. Banks object to have their letters examined by an under- ling from ao rival institution, Without casting the slightest reflection upon any of the parties who at present visit the office, I do say that while this want of discipline continues, that it is possible for a thief te get inand carry away registered letters. The Gevernment would in that case assist the owner of the lost letter to trace it to the last Post Offics that it reached, and then he would have to find out the thief for himself. There is not that security in registering letters that many suppose. Let us hare this very serious nuisance done away with, and our Post Office mat- ter only handled and examined by the sworn officers of the department.

Sir,—A few days age, I observed in your paper a siiort paragraph announcing that the vld pump which has stood for so many years in the centre of Prince Street, as its junction with King Street, was about being removed, aud congratulating the City Fathers and the travelliag public upon the change. As an owner of property in Ward No. 1, I would be among the first to express approval of any change for the better that miyht be effected therein, but I regret that I cannet, in this instance, congratulate the Street Cem- missiener (whoever he may be) upon either his prudenee, foresight, or economy. I!t is Governor's staff Jan. 1, 1881, and on Jan. 27, 1862, he was made Quartermaster- General. He was active in both positions. He gave his attention to New York city politics at the close of the war, and was for atime chairman of the Republican com- inittee, known as the Morgan Republicans, which met at Broadway and Twenty-third street. Onthe 20th of November, 1871, he was appointed by President Grant Col- lector ef txe port of New York, succeeding Thomas Murphy. le served one term, and was re-appointed in December, 1875. a wee emepee ded by Faveidwut Llayew om H July 21, 1878, charges being preferred against him by Secrctary Sherman. Edwin A. Merritt became Colleetor in his place. In September, 1879, he was chosen chair- man of the Republican State Committee, and he was chairman of the Central Com- mittee of the county for two years. In May, 1880, he was nominated for Vice-President on the Republican ticket, and was elected the following November. General Avihur married a daughter of Capt. Herndon, who was lost on board of his veasel, the Central America. His wife died about eighteen months ago. He has twa children, a son and a daughter. Tke Public Debt of Canada. Tue Monetory Times saya:—‘‘ The state- ment has been made that it is the inten- tion of the Federal Government to apply the surplus te the reduction of the public debt. This would be a good use io put the surplus to, and the adoption ef this policy would be a turning of the corner. So far it has been all borrowing; it will be well to give an indication that we know how to re- duce the public debt as well as to increase it. In connection with this disposition of the surplus, it has been said that a preposal will be made to refund the public debt at four per cent. The saving to be effected by such an exchange would depend upon the price which the new four per cents would bring. A fouryrcent bond would prob- ably bring about 98. Fivesare payable at the option of the Government, and can be got in without paying a premium. To be- gin to reduce the debt woald be a good thing. To refund at four per cent. could net be a bad thing; there would be no need | to do it unless a gain could be mado thereby.” Coumenical Methodist Council. A DECLARATION IN FAVOR OF INTERNA- TIONAL ARBITRATION. Lonpon, Eng., Sept. 15.—The C&cu- menical Methodist Council showed iteelf last night to be fully abreast of the spirit of the times in recognizing the importance of upholding the substitution of arbitration instead of war as ameans for the settle- ment of international difficulties; and a resolutien framed im stroug terms affirtaing such a principle was passed amidst great enthusiasm. The general topic of discus- sion on the 15th was the use of the press for the advancement of Christianity, such as the publicatioa of denominational litera- ture and by periodical publications of every grade for adults and juveniles ; the daily press, and the use to be made of it by the church Rev. OC. K. Marshall, of Vicke- burg, recommended the establishment, of a well-endowed church newepaper, which would do as much fer the church as the great universities. le praised the Ameri- can press for the willingness with which it did the work of the ehurch by reporting the church services. The subject caused considerable difference of opinion. Bishop McTyerie said the religisus newspapers were to narrow-minded. Rev. Mr. Gibsea condemned the tone of the secular press in America. The balance of opinion seemed to favor the promotion of religious, papers. ee The Vicerey of India telegraphs that the situation at Oandahar was Teported un- changed up to the 13th inst.
