6A Very Ordinary .Man !'
What is Expected from Arthr and his Ad

From the N,-w4 :oid' co0rin- trreon

WAsnWIsN. Saturdwv. Septeia
ber 24.-Within one short week a
great change has come over the
American nation. In my last I fore
shadowed its character ; in this I -e
cord the fact that it has taken place.
It appeared plainlv to we a month
ago that it was inevitable In this
brief week a President has died, been
brought back to the Capital in state.
viewed by hundrods of thousands of
people, carried eff again to his old
home, and thr. h. will he buried
on Monday il his own na-Itive mold.
while a new President has taken the
oath of office, indicated his policy and
actively assumed the direction of the
Government.
This bad been a great week for the
country one frauht with great con
cerns. How much for good and how
much for evil remains to be seen. The
administration of Garfield has ended.
It was brief and we can hardly meas
ure it accurately in the grief at his
untimely death. We take up the
ne, where the old left off so sudden
ly and terribly. There is something
in the circumstances attending the
succession rf Chester A. Arthur to
the Presidency which will cast a
shadow upon his administration that
he will find great difficulty in shak
ing off. Indeed, it is exceedingly
doubtful whether he will ever succeed
in doing so. The task is too much
for an ordinary man, and Chester A.
Arthur is
A VERY ORDINARY MAN.
Even should he feel the desire to
follaw in the footsteps of reform which
bear the imprint of the dead wan's
shoes he now wears, the faction of a
party of which he is now the official
head will not permit him. No one
will doubt the motives of .Nr. Arthur,
the purity of his intentious as ex
pressed in his brief inaugural address.
or his profound sorrow at that grave
necessjty which called him into office.
These are within the capacity of or
dicary men. and Chester A. Arthur
is a very ordinary man. If he could
be left to follow the impulses which
now move him Mr. Arthur might
serve his country moderately well,
as did President Hayes. and go out
with a minimum of obloquy and a
maximum of contempt. Between the
succession of Haves and the succes
sion of Arthur there are many flne
points in common. Hayes came in
by rape, Arthur by violence. In
both cases however, the deed was
done by other men. Hayes was the
beneficiary of fraud, and Arthur is the
beneficiary of violence. Hayes was
an ordinary man and Arthur is a very
ordinary man. Hayes was cordially
bated upon his assumption of power
because he was the beneficiary of fraud
of which, however, he was entirely in
nocent; Arthur is cordially hated
because be came in by violence and he
is also hated because of himself.
Hayes was harmless, and the uleagin
ous innocence of his administration
secured the country from~ harm and
himself from anything more serious
than a milder sort of ridicule. There
was one particular difference between
the feeling of dislike of these two
men by the people which in esti
mating the probable character of the
adu.inistration of Chester A. Arthur
must not be Iost sight of. for the for
mer was hated by the D)emocratie
party and only because he was the
humble instrument through which
they were defrauded of their right to
the Presidency. On the other band
Mr. Arthur is hated by a formidable
faction of bis own party, not only
because he got into power over the
dead body of their leader, bat because
hie is the representative of a different
act of men and a differeut policy. Be
sides this difference, there is still
another which will enter largely into
the comparison : Hayes was voted
for as a candidate for the Presidency,
anid came in bound by every obliga
tion to his party, expressed and im
plied, to faithfully carry out its
wishes.
ARTHUR Is AN ACCHi)ENT,
bour,d by no obligation save loyalty to
his friends, to gain whose support he
was placed upon the Presidential
ticket. If he should simply carry nut
the tenets of the party, as understood
by these friends, it would be only
what an ordinary man would probably
do. And Chester A. Arthur is a
very ordinary wan. Tax your mem
ory with that. Having comec by ac
cident he is bound by no morail ties
save loyalty to the general interests of
the Country. In the eyes of the
wing of thle Republican party M1r.
Arthur represents, loyalty to party is
loyalty to the country. They know
no other patriotism. In one respect
the unhampered position of President
Arthur places him in an attitude of
freedom unknown to Presidents elected
by the people. lie is absolutely un
trammelled in the start, and may in
augurate such a policy as best comn
ports with statesmanship, wisdom and
patriotism, regardless of his party fac
tions. If he wer-e an extraordinary
man like Garfield or Lincoln he would
so act. But Arthur is only an or
dinary man. The inference is plain:
Being an ordinary man he will do as
ordinary muen do. Being simply a
politician of a pessimist school of
politics, it is too much to expect the
qjualities and results of the states.
MIr. Ar-thur way be compared with
his immediate predecessor in two
things only: he is a gentleman and
hle is an honest mnan. These are
nmuch, for they imply digLity comf
mensurate with high offiee, and an
honest endeavor to administer it faith
fully. If MIr. Arthur were more than
an ordinary nman these qualities
would be enough. but he is only an
ordinary wan. It is not his fault that
be is President of the I'nited States.
The; r espoi::ibil ityv lies wi th those whon
placed his name up~on the National
ticket as a sop to a defeated and re
l..siuu t.eion. If they threw in the
whole louf and d--prived themsclv"; of
power by the concessiont. it is their
own fault and unisfortune It is a

know of no better illustration of th(
character of the comin Administra
tion .ban that impressive scene upoc
the lawn at Elbercu the day afte
i President Garfield died. The famil
liar coiferences and associatiou be
tween (.rant and the newly-mad
P rvsident, their close communion am
warm personal regard, as they walket
about the lawu under the shadow o
the house of mourning, was enough t
uggcest the future. This evidentl
did not occur to we alone, as I couh
plainly see in the faces and hear i1
the tones of the crowd. There wa
I the new Administration before us in -
ingle picture, which a smart pho
tographer might have sold tw
Ir a quarter. There was Arthui
I Stalwart. and there was Grant. Wha
else was necessary ? Now ther
would have been nothing in this, bu
fur the history which lay behind it
This history is familiar to every ma
in the country, for it is a very recet
one and needs no varnish to renew it
freshness. The Arthur Administra
tion means Grant. means Grantism
and Grantism means spoils. Ther
is the picture. That is the way i
looked in essence at Elberon. Tha
is the way it looks in the ab;trac
from Washington to-day. Is ther
anything iu the record of Chester A
Arthur to give the lie to such an in
ference ? Perhaps you could appre
oiate it better if you could view th
picture from this point- If you coul
see the
HAPPY FA*CES OF THE STALWART
beaming through the outward form
1f mourning, if you could hear th
sneering words of the Grant crow
hanging about the corridors, if yo
could realize the departmental an
inosities which are to be satisfied
then you might understand th
changes which are in store for u:
The following from the Stalwart orga
in this city is the first faint expres
sion of Stalwart ideas, and grat<
harshly on the ear and offends the ey
with the dead body of Garfield lyingi
the rotunda of the Capitol:

The clamor for spoils sets in ov<
the dead t>ody. It comes from ever

the country. The Grant and Coni
iuu crowd raise their glad eyes t<
ward the new Fresident and demant
with coundence, their share of tb
raiment of the dead man lying in th~
rotunda of the Capitol. What wi
the answer be ? If it. were sucb

day man. The picture on t

what was and is to come In A-thu:

Publication Day Chan1ged.
Tile IllAAi.u has from its first issue
been published on Tuesday morning of o
each week. and we dislike now to make
change from that day. but we feel the t
necessity of doing so. Monday is the
busiest and most important day of the
w(eek, meetings aro generally hold and
everything that can possibly take place
occurs on that day, hence we are :
ways pressed with work and crowded
to death to get the paper ready for
press on Tuesday. We think, therefore.
that a change of publication to Thtirs
day morning will be a decided advan
t
tage, not only to the publisher but to
the reader, and will consequently issue
J the H.RALD next week and from that
time hereafter on Thursday morning.
The Prohibition Convention
2.et in Cuutxbia the 27th and
28th ultimo. The attendance was
not largo, a majority of tLhpe Coun
ties sending no representatives.
Dr. James H. Carlisle, of Spartan
burg, presided. On the iirst day a
resolution was offered to memorial
ize the Legislature to pass a probi
bitioi law. Rev. M,Nr. Tillinghast,
of Columbia, opposed the resolu
tion. le said a majority of the
people of the State did not want
such a law ; they were not readiv
for it; they mucit bi ..ducated up
to it. He favored an amendment
prohibiting the sale in towns of not
e less than five hundred inhabit,.nts.
Mr. Divver, of Anderson. agreed
with Mr. Tillinghast. except as to
- the proposed amendment. He be
e lieved that prohibition should be
- wrought out by the different incor
.poratedi towps through their local
3 option laws. Col. Edwards, of
i Darlington, advised caution in the
a matter..
SThe meeting then adljourned to
e the 28th.
e The second day's proceedings
-were of little interest. The attend
ance was very smail, riot over two
dozen, the majority of these be.
r ing young men. Resolutions was
yadopted, among them one directing
fthe Executive Committee to me~
morialize the Legislature to pro
Shibit the sale of liquor in towns of
eless than five hundred inhabitants.
e In other respects, there were no
LI recomtujendations as to a change in
athe present liquor law.
eGu.teau's line of defense, it is
Shinted, will be that the President
was not killed by ;his bullet, but by
Smalpractice of the doctors. Fail
ing in that he will fall back on the
insanity dodge- Tile impression
[prevails that the government will
t probably be as anxious to prove
.him insaixe as the defense will be
s for this reason :if he he proved in
Y sane when he committed the deed
Sthe assassination will have no sig
nificance-it would be simply an
accident, like death from a railroad
Scollision : but if it be proved that
I he President of the United States
was shot down in broad daylight
~by a sane man, what more security
is there to the President of this
fRepublic than to the Czar of de
spoti Russia?
There. are some very delicate
questions in connection with this
Sassassinationl, besides the question
of(' jurisdictionJ.
Thier e is nothing unusual in the
fact that Arthur is an ordinar-y
man: Vice-Presidents are nearly
always so. They are not nominated
on the ground off any ability or fit- 1
ness they possess. but simply for e
the purpose of a successful cam
paign. The last three Tiee1Presi
dents wvere fr-om New York, a cir-i
Icumstance owing entirely to the
fact that New York is a doubtful
State. and giving her the second
place on the ticket makes her p)utt
forth all her efforts foi- its election. r
Arthur is certainly an abler man
than Schuyicr Colfax. or than Hen
ry Wilson was. or Win. A. Wheeler,
his immediate p)redecessors.

I Wish I Knew.
I wish I knew the incomparable
workings of our double-gcared courts
of justice (eo-cailed).
I wish I knew how a man convicted
of an atrocious burnine, awd who has
been a curse to his neighborhood, an
expense and nuisance to our courts for
years, when sentenced, after a fair
trial, to five years at hard labor in the
penitentiary, with a youlb of a negro
boy--his accomplice-his tool-no
thing more, is permitted to escape,
while the negro is sent to serve out
his time.
I wish I knew that the same court
and machinerv of law that ieleased
Bony Satterwhite-thc criminal with
money-would release Isow Workmna,n
-the innocent man of the two, with
out money. That would be generous.
I wish I knew how much of his
bond would be collected and offered as
a reward for the escaped criminal.
I wish I knew why the officers of
our County are required to give bond
for a proper discharge of their duties,
when we have ex-Sheriffs, ex-Clerks
and ex-Treasurers who are reputed
defaulters, and neither they nor their
sureties are brought to grief.
1 wish I knew why some things of
such general public interest have to
be kept so "mum."
I wish I knew what good it does to
put property on the Additor's books
at small fictitious values.
I wish I knew why the true value
and a smaller per cent. would not an
swer the same purpose, and be more
conducive to truth.
I gigh I k-new bj what fiction of
law or exposition of the Ten Com
mandments, improvements on lands,
worth from five hundred to five thous
and dollars, creep into the Auditor's
books at from one to ten hundred.
1 wish I knew why property in the
shape of cash does not show to near
such aiantage (in the Auditor's
books as it does by the report of bank
deposits.
I wish I knew h3w some men ac
quired so suuch cash and notes, over
arnd above indebtedness, between 1880
and 188L The difference being in
some eases from two thousand to nine
teen thousand. There was rapid ac
comulation0, or just a little oversight.
I wish I knew when people would
be expect.ed to tell the plain, uvar
nished truth when they assess their
property, and not to lie according to
a given scale.
I wish I knew much more, but will
not recite it until another time.

ValIue of the DialIpiino En.
f'orced at the State Military
Academy --- Respect foPr
Law and Order---Phy
sical and Mental
Training. '
The efforts to re-establish the Cita
del Academy as one of the Edueation
al agencies of the State meet with a
ready symipathy from all who have
known thmrmuch their own experience
or have recognized in others the
value of the system of training there
adopted for fitting young men in a
practical manner for the great busi.
ness of life.
This result of her teachings was
due in large degree to the military
feature of the establishment. The
rigid discipline possible under this
system was of great benefit in many
ways.
Receiving youths fresh from home.
at that supreme moment when charac
ters are made, or marred, by sur
rounding influences, the wholesome
restraints of military discipline
served to preserve the inexperienced
from the temptations found in pro
miscuous society, to enforce attention
to study, and generally to would both
niind and body into a recognition of
authority and obedience to law.
The Intense individuality which is
the peculiarity of A merican character,
and which in after life has often been
the inspiration to high achievement
and signal success. requires whole
some restraints and cheeks in youth
to inculcate a reverence for law and
order. The tendency of the educa
rien at the Citadel was powerful in
this direction, and all the recipients
of her teaching, rich or poor, what
ever had beer the faults or merits of
home training, were placed on the
same platform and coa.pelled to obey
the same rules.
It was an education of the whole
system; body and mind received eqjual
attention and were developed with
equal success.
Whatever objections may be ad
vanced to the military training of
West Point as creating an excess of
soldiers in the R-epublic, the educa
tion at the Citadel was open to no
such strictures.
No prospects opened before these
graduates of prolonged military ser
vice, and they naturally fell into ranks
and conmmenced the struggle of life
without any dream of martial strife or
glory.
Tfhe physical training under this
system had a marked effect on char
aer, and frequently wa no insioni
icant agent in shaping the future,
mod ndapting the constitution to the
-17utrher rc-!porn ibilities of life
