Arthur died at 5 o'clock this morning, at his residence, No. 123 Lexington avenue. lie had been ailing for some time from a complication of diseases, principally kidney affection. He sp)ont the summer at a watering place, and it was supposed that this had strengthened somewhat his enfeebled constitution. His death was unexpected, it not being supposed outside his house that he was in any immediate danger. As s)on as the news of Mr. Arthur's death was mad. public imatiy flags on pubhw and private buildings were placed1 at half mast. Mr. Arthur had lived at No. 123 Lexington avenue for twenty years or i ore. A stroke of cerebril apoplexy suddenly, but not wholly ni epectei by the attending physician, t rminated his life. The stroke came in his sleep, between Tuesday night and W'ednesday morning, and he did not rally thereafter. His death was painless and slow, like the going out of a burned downl candle, and for hours before the end caine he was uconscious to his su' roundings. His son and daughter, his sister, his former law p)artner, Sherman W. Knevals, and his closest friend, Sur rogate Rollins, wore at his bedside. All reports to the contrary, Mr. Ar thur's health has not improved during his stay at Now London six weeks ago, and at his return on October 1st he was no better than when he left the city. As the tuio passed no pelmanent iml)rove ment came, and the physicians feared some such sudden stroke as the one to which he succumbed. In his enfeebled condition even a light stroke of aloplexy would prove fatal to the once robust patient. With the beginning of the present week a marked change for the better set in. n ''uiesiay the ex-Presi dent felt better alid stronger than at any time since ie was taken sick, and eomli muented hopefully 111)011 the fact. It was after midnight when his at tendant left him alone in his bedrooni, and nothing was heard of him during the early morning hours. lie was not disturbed until his att 'ndaint entered his room) at. t o'clock yesterday morning. He foiund Mr. Artliur lying on his side, breathing heavily ani could not rouse him. 'lie family answered his sin1 mnuus. but failed to elicit any sign of consciousntess or r(cognition from the ex- I'resident. Iii their alarm they sum imoiied his physician, Di. (Gcorge A. l'o'tcrs, who huas been in attendance upon Mr. Arthur I lhroughout his illness, lnd who reslponded Iroliptly andti at once saw that lie was sutiering fromun a stroke of cerebral aptplexv. A small blood vessel inl the brain hat burst and para:lvsis of the right side had ensued. li m the mnoment this disCovcry was made all hopc Was known to be of no avail, 1but no eflort5 Wcrc spared to bring the pa tient back to consciouSness. They were all alike a failure. Mr. Artlur lay mo tioinless and speechless all day. lie kuew what was going on about him, for he sqlueezed his doctior's hnd and pult out his tonguie piartly when asked to do so, but lie never spoke or gave aniy othetr sigun o f coniiouisiness. Last night at 1; o'clock an enfeeled plsebO, mhoreO difhicuult respiration iind o.tlheri signs of' physical failure iniciatedi to the watchfuli eyes of his pihiysicians that thle endl was drawing niear.

In perfecting the arrangemente for the funeral of ox-President Arthur, it has been determined to change the date of the ceremony until the morning of 11ton day, November 22, in order to allow time I Jr the arrival of several of the members of his Cabinet and other persons of dis tinction. A nfOGnIAPICAI, SKETcH. Chester Allan Arthur was born in Fairfield, Franklin County, Vermont, on October 5, 1830. He was the son of the Rev. Wm. Arthur, a Baptist clergyman, who came to America at the age of 18 from the County Antrim, Ireland. Ex President Arthur's early education was acquired in the schools of Vermont, and be flnislied his education at Union Col lege, Schenectady, from which he was gradutated in 1849, taking a prominent position in his class. After teaching school for a few years he studied law, and having been admitted to the bar he formed a copartnerslhip with henry 1). (lardiner, whici was eminently success ful. Ex-Prosidont Arthur was associated with Mr. William M. Evarts in the" cele brated Jonathan Lemmons case in 1852, in which the liberation of eight fugitive slaves was sustained by the Supreme Court of the United States, the argu ments on that position having been made b,y .E'arts and Arthur. Mr. Arthur early took an active inte rest in politics as a henry Clay Whig, and was a delegate to the convention at Saratoga, which founded the Republican party of New York. In 18(60 he was ap l outed engineer in chief on the stall of Governor Morgan, of New York, and was afterwards r:ade Inspector General and Quiarteriaster General, which last otlice lie held until 18(13. In 1865 Mr. Arthur returned to his law practice, atnd soon became engaged in polities, having been appointcd Collector of the Port of New York in 1871, and was reappointed to that otliee in 1875. In 1877 iresident Ilayes ordered Mr. Arthur to resign his party position as Chairinan of the i(epublican Central Cumittee of New York, with which order Mr. Arthur refused to comply. 11t was therefore suspended from ollice iin 1878 and his successor contirnmed by the Senate, although the special committees appointed to investigate Mr. Arthur's olhicial conduct found nothing on which to base it charge of dereliction. lie was a zealous supporter of the cltims of Genteral Grant to the Iliepuli enu noimination to Ilie Presidency iii i8 0, and, after the defeat of Grant, was hiisellf liOnlnated by acclamation tothe \ice Presidency, with Garlield as Presi (tilt. (n the assassination of Garfield, in .July. 1881, Artlhur succeeded to the I'residency, which position he held ntil the elect ion of President Cleveland in 1581. 'I im 'r eent 5, ly V n i nit al o t.

Lee Iived in retireuent, devoting their atten t ion to the tilling of the soil and seeking no llliC notice. All at once, within the last few years, they have come forward, uonl just now it seems that they will soon hmve a large share of the good things in the wty of otlices. General Fitzhiugh is (vernor and has still higher aspirations. lie is already looking with a longing eye upon the seat of Senator Riddleberger, antl from the )r(-sent indications it would Sea n that his longing is likely to be graitiied. ''he nE.t Legislature is sure to 1be )emocrat"ic, an(1 there is hardly a imaan in the State who would enter into a contest with General Fitzhuglh. enemral lluny, his cousin, is Congress nmn elect, and as it is the custom to re turn a member two or three times in his district, he ais a good lease of oflice be fore him. ii is small majority this time will ni,t hurt hin, since it was due to the security felt iy his friends. Two other I ces are now looming up and will proba lv shine in the political firmament in the near future. One is tieneral Custis Ls', brothter of Ituny. He has never Iefore' dal)lled with pUliti('s, but since the recent elevation of members of his family it is said that lie is waking up to amibition. According to the programme of the I ace enthusiasts, lie is to succeed .Fitzhungh in the Giovernor's chair three y'ears since. 'Thlis arr'angemient is a v'ery preitty one if it can bie carriedl out, as5 Fitzhughi, hby the Constitution of the State, cannot be re-elected, and his term '. aillice wilt (expire just abiout the timle i1 ddilberge-r's seat biecomes vacant. So if the Governor stepts iinto the United States Senate and Cuistis into the Execu iv,e 31ansion at lBichinnond, there will be nto i nter-regnum of' the. Lees. Few pecople in Virginia know that thiere i's a fourth Lee whio is likely to bob1 uip into p)olities. He~ is a brother of the Goverinor iand lives a very <quiet farmain g life dowii on thao Potomac, in Stafford County. lie hats never run for any oflice, nor has lie ever taken part in any polit: eat canvass. Now, it is said, lie i~ to be i rought forward, partly as a 4lcans of further honoring the Lee lamnily and lpartly to punish State S'inator W. E-. Meredith, of Prince Wilti-.m. Meredith, it will be renmembejred, was General Lee's most bitter op ponent in the Congres sional Convention, and his course camne very near defeating the General. Now the Lee mn p)rop)ose to have the GAov ernor's brother nominated in place of Meredith for State Senator ini the Alex uiadria district next year', and thus ae complisha a double purpose. if political conditions do not change sooni, the w~hole programme for the ec vationi of the Lees cani be carried out. Th e G overntor' cant go to t he Senate; Cums tis can take i-s place; Riuny can stay in ihi Ii':,., and the obscure Staff'ord broi thier canLi go to thle State Senate.
