0 THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION, SEPTEMBER 2T, 1881. THREE NOTABLE EVENTS. VICE-PRESIDENTS "WHO HAVESUC- CEEDED TO VACANCIES. An Interesting Chapter of Federal Hlatory, Showing the Frealdenttal Vacancies, Who Filled Them, and the Incidents of Mote Connected With Them???The Preatnt Call. Washington Post. Three vacancies only liavebeen created in the |ire??ideutical office by death since the i?????gili ning of the government, the first two hy the natural death of tlie chief magistrate, the last hy his murder at the hand of an assassin. Presidents William Henry Harrison, Zachary Taylor and Ahraha.i Lincoln died in office, ami were succeeded l??v Vice-Presidents John Tyler, Millard Fillmore and Andrew John son. All the deaths took place in this city. The first, that of Gen. Harrison, occurred on Sunday, April 1, PHI, during a session of con gress, after he had been in the presidency one month. Immediately after the decease, Mr. Welistcr, Jr., the chief clerk of the state de partment, accompanied hy Mr. llcall, an offi cer of the senate, set out for the resi dence of Vice-President Tyler, at Williams burg, Va., hearing the following letter: Wakhisotos, April 1.1M!.???To John Tyler, vice- president of the L'nitcd States; Sir: It has become our most painful duly to inform you that William Henry Harrison, late presidentof the United States lias departed this life. This distressing event took plate this day at the president's mansion in this city, at thirty minutes before 1 in the morning. We lose no time in dispatching the chief clerk in the suite department, ns n sneeiiil messenger, to Issir you these melancholy tidings. We have the honor to be, with the highest regard, your obedient servants, Iiasiki, Weuktek, Secretary of State. Thomas Kwi.no, secretary of the Treasury. John ISf.i.i,, Secretary of War. John J Ciuttenokn. Attorney General. Francis Ueanoek. Postmaster General. George E. Badger, the secretary of the navy, was nlisent at home in North f'anilina. There was at that time no secretary of the in terior, Vice-President Tyler, in response to this summons, iiniucdiatoly left home for this city, in which lie arrived at 5 o'clock on the morn ing of April G, At 1J o'clock, noon, thecabi net. except the secretary of the navy, called upon him at Brown???s hotel, where lie was staying, to pay their official and personal re spects. Mr. Tyler did not think it necessary, having taking'the oath of office as vice-presi dent, to take an additional oath as president, but being advised, he did so before Judge Cranch. Below is a copy of the oath and certificate: I do solemnly swear that 1 will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States, and will, In the best of my ability, preserve, protect and de fend tlie constitution of the United States.

The other members resigned September 13, lKll. President Taylor died at the white house on Tuesday, July 9, 1 850, while congress was in session, one year, four months and five days after his inauguration. On Wednesday, July 10, Vice-President Fillmore sent the following Communication, whicli was received by the secretary of the senate. To the Senate of the United States In consequence of the lamented death of Zachary Tavior, late president of the United States, i shall no longer occupy the chair of the senate: and I lmve thought that a formal communication to that effect, through your secretary, might enable you the more promptly to proceed to the choice of a pro Hiding officer. Mh.i.aud Fillmore. Washington, July 10,1S50. Mr. Fillmore then sent to both houses of congress the following message: rdlow Citizens of the Senate anil House of Rep resentatives: 1 have to perforin the melancholy duty of minvnuciug to you that it has pleased Al mighty God to remove from this life Zachary Tay lor. late president of the United States. He deceas ed lust evening, at die hour of hnli-pusst 10 o'clock in tlie midst of his family and surrounded by uffee- tionntc friends, calmly and in tlie full jaissession of ail his faculties. Among tiis last words were these, which he uttered with emphatic distinctness: ??????1 have always done my duty???I am ready to die???my only regret is for tlie friends I leave behind me.??? liming intuouiired to you. fellow citizens, this most ntlliming bereavement, and assuring you that it has penetrated tin heart with deeper grief than mine, it remains for me to say that I propose this day, at 12 o'clock, in the hull of the house of repre sentatives, in the presence of both bouses of coil ptw, to take the oath prescribed by the constitu tion. to enable me to enter on tlie execution of the Office which this event box devolved upon me. Washington, July 10.1850. Millaru Fillmore. the country by Secretary Stanton, togethe happy one. Much of General Garfield's sulise with a formal announcement that Presi- quent success in life may l>o attributed to the dent Johnson would retain the existing cabinet never-failing sympathy and intellectual cotn- and that they "would go on and discharge their respective duties in the same manner as lie- fore the deplorable event that hud changed the head of the government.??? Of the cabinet. .Secretaries Seward, Mc- tilloch and Welles remained in office until the close of President Johnson's term. Sec retary .Stanton resigned on May 28, 1808, after the failure of the impeachment proceedings against the president, and the others wentout of office in 18(55 and Judging fnmi these precedents, should President Garfield die, tire members of the cabinet will unite in a formal notification of the fact to Vice-President Arthur, who Avould thcreu)Kin take the required oath liefore some competent magistrate and enter at once upon his duties. There would be no necessity for summoning him to Washington in advance President Garfield's death. He could easily be at the capital within six hours there after. There would lie no necessity for even so long an interregnum as occurred njioii the death of Mr. Lincoln. In that case Vice- President Johnson took the presidential oath within three hours afterward. Mr. Arthur might Ire sworn in with the lapse of less than thirty minutes. Fillmore's inaugural was de layed for one day and Tyler???s for two days after the death of their resjrective predeces sors. The time lost in the first case was nec essary, owing to Mr. Tyler being in Virginia, hut Air. Fillmore could have been sworn in an hour after President Taylor???s death if it had been thought necessary. At 12 o???clock, noon, Mr. Fillmore, the cabi net. Chief Judge ('ranch, of the circuit court of the District of Columbia, and the senate of Hie United States, having entered the hall of Uic house of representatives. Judge Craneli administered the oath of office. The cabinet at that time consisted of John M. Clayton, of Delaware, secretary of state William M. Meredith, of Pennsylvania, score lary of the treasury: George W. Crawford, of Georgia, secretary of war: William Ballard Preston, of Virginia, secretary of the navy: Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, secretary of the in terior, die first incumbent of that office; Jacob Collamer, of Vermont, l rest master-general and Koverdy Johnson, of Maryland, attorney- general. All these gentlemen resigned a fe days after President Fillmore's assumption of his office, and an entirely new cabinet was appointed hy him July 20, 1850. President Lincoln was shot at Ford's thea ter, in this city, on the night of April 11,18(55, and died at twenty minutes past 7 o???clock on the next (Saturday) morning, one month and eleven days after the commencement of his second term. Immediately after his death Attorney-General Speed waited upon Vice- President Johnson at the Kirkwood house and handed him the following communication, signed hy all the members of the cabinet, ex cept Secretary of State Seward, wlio was una ble on account of his wounds and illness: Washington, April 15, I8C5.???Sir: Abmhmn Lin coln, president of the United States, was shot by an assassin last evening at Ford???s theater in this city, mid died at (he hour of 7:22 o'clock this morning. About the same time at which the president was shot, an assassin entered the sick chamber of the Hon W II Seward, secretary of state, and stabbed him in several places in tlie throat, neck and fare, severely, if not mortally, wounding him. Other members of the secretary's family were dangerously wounded by the assassin while making his escape. By the death of President Lincoln the otliee of president has devolved, under the constitution, upon you. The emergency of the government de mands that you should immediately qualify, ac cording to requirements of the constitution and enter upon the duties of presidentof the United States. If you will please make known your pleas ure. such arrangements as you deem proper will be made. Your obedient servants, HUGH McCulloch, Secretary of the Treasury; How in W Stanton. Secretary of War: Giokon Weu.es. Secretary of the Navy: J P Usher. Secretary of the Interior; William Dennison, Postmaster-general: James Si-eeo. Attorney-general. To Andrew Johnson, Vice-President of tlie United States. Mr. Johnson responded by requesting that Hie ceremonies take' place at his rooms in the Kirkwood house, at 10 o???clock. At that hour the following gentlemen assembled at the Kirkwood: Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase; Messrs. McCulloch and 8peed, of the cabinet; Francis P. Blair, Sr., Hon. Montgomery Blair, Senators Foot, of Vermont; Yates, of Illinois; Karnsey, of Minnesota; Stewart, of Nevada; Male, of New Hanqishire, and General Farns worth, of Illinois. The chief-justice admin istered the following oath to Mr. Johnson: JttmcH Abram Garfield. The following sketeh of General-James A. Garfield is from the pen of the well-known journalist and republican, Mr. E. V. Smalley, and appeared shortly before his nomination for the presidency hy the republican national convention: ???James Abram Garfield was bom Novem ber 19, 1851, in the townshiji of???Orange, Cuya hoga county. Ohio, about 15 miles from Cleve land. His father, Abraham Garfield, came from New York, but, like his mother, was of New England stock. James was tlie youngest of four children. The father died in 1833, leaving the family dependent upon a small farm and the exertions of the mother. There was nothing alreut the elder Garfield to dis tinguish him from the other plodding farmers of the rather sterile township of Orange. No one could discern any qualities in him whicli, transmitted to the next generation, might helj* b> make a statesman, unless it was industry; but his wife, who is stilllivingatan advanced age, was always fond of reading when she could get leisure from her hard household duties, and was a thoroughly capa ble woman, of strong will, stern principles and more than average force of character. Of the children no one besides James lias made the slightest mark in the world. The elder brother is a farmer in Michigan, and the two sisters 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 winter. The best of it was that lie 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 seemed that of manual labor. Ready money was hard to get in those days. The Ohio canal ran not far from where he life'll, and, finding that the boatmen got their pay in cash and earned better wages than lie could make tit farming or carpentry, he hired out as a driver on the tow-path, and soon got up to the dignity of holding the helm of a boat. Then lie determined to ship as a sailor on the lakes, but an attack of fever and ague inter fered with his plans. He was ill three months, and when lie recovered lie decided to go to a school called Geauga academy, in an adjoining county, llis mother bad saved a small sum of money, which she gave him, together with a few cooking utensils and a stock of provisions. lie hired u small room and cooked his own food to make his expenses as light as possible. He paid his own way after that, never culling on his mother for any more assistance. By work ing at the carpenter???s bench mornings and evening and vacation times, and teaching country schools during the winter, ne man aged to attend the academy during the sprint. ??nd fall terms, and to save a little money to wards going to college. He had excellent health, a robust frame and a capital memory, and tlie attempt to ???combine mental and physical work, which has broken down many fanner boys??? ambitions to gut an education did not hurt him. ???When lie was twcnty-tliroe years of.age he concluded that he had about all there was to be had in an obscure cross-roads academy. lie calculated that lie had saved alreut* half enough money to get through college, provid ed lie could begin, as he hoped, witii the junior year. He got a life insurance poliey and assigned it to a gentleman as security for a loan to make up the amount he lacked.' In the fall of 1854 he entered the junior class of Wiliams college, Massachusetts, and gradua ted in 185(3, with the metaphysical honors of liis class. I have seen a daguerreotype of him taken alreut this time. It represents a rather awkward youth, with 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 Ger man hlooil in the Garfield family, hut liis pic ture would he taken for some Fritz or Carl just over from the fatherland. Before lie went to college Garfield had connected him self with the Disciples, a sect having a numer ous membership in eastern andsouthern Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky, where its founder, Alexander Campbell, had traveled and preached. Tlie principle peculiarities of the denomination are their refusal to formu late their beliefs into a creed, the independ ence of each congregation, the hospitality and fraternal feeling of the members and the lack of a regular ministry. When Garfield re turned to Ohio it was natural that lie should siren gravitate to the struggling little college of tlie young sect at Hiram, Portage county, near his boyhood' home. He became professor of Latin and Greek and threw himself with the energy and in clustry which are leading traits of bis cliarae ???ter into tlie work of building up the institu tion. Before lie bail been two years in the professorship be was appointed president of the college. Hiram is a lonely country village three miles from a railroad, built upon a hi^ hill, overlooking twenty miles of cheese- making country to the southward. It eon tains fifty or sixty houses clustered around the green, in the center of which stands tlie homely red brick college structure. Plain liv ing and high thinking was the order of tilings at Hiram college in those days. The teachers were poor, the pupils were poor and the in stitution was jreor. but there was a great deal of hard, faithful study done and manv ambitious plans formed. The young president taught, lectured and preached, and all the time studied as diligently as any aeolvte the temple of knowledge. He* frequently spoke on Sundays in the churches of the towns in tlie vicinity to create an interest in the col lege. Among the Disciples any one can preach who has a mind to. no ordination being re quired. From these Sunday discourses came the story that Garfield was at one time a min ister. He never considered hiuiself such, and never had am* intention of findiuga career in the pulpit. liis ambition, if he had any outside of tlie school, lay in tlie direction of law and jrelitics. ???During liis professorship Garfield married something quite outside of the ordinary line Miss Lucretia Rudolph, daughter of a farmer ; of its employment. So I am resting by Ieam- in the neighborhood, who had emigrated front : ing all the congressional library can show Harford county.

The young couple bought a neat little cottage fronting on the college campus and began their wedded life poor and in debt, hut with brave hearts. ???In 1859 the college president was elected to.the state senate front the counties of Port age and Summit. He did not resign liis pres idency. because he looked ujren a few months in the legislature as an episode not likely to change the course of fits life. But the war came to alter all his plans. During tlie win ter of 1861 he was active in the passage of measures for arming the state militia, and his eloquence and energy made him a conspicu ous leader of the union party. Early in the summer of 18(51 lie was elected colonel of an infantry regiment (the forty-second) raised in northern Ohio, many of tlie soldiers in whicli had been students at Hiram. He took the field in eastern Kentucky, was soon put in command of a brigade, and. hy making one of the hardest marches ever made, hy recruits, surprised and routed the confederate forces, under Humphrey Marshall, at Piketon. ???From eastern Kentucky General Garfield was transferred to Louisville, and from that lace hastened to join the army of General tuell, which he readied witii liis brigade in time to participate in the second day's fight ing at Pittsburg landing. He took part in tlie siege of Corinth and in the orierations along the Memphis and Charleston railroad. In January, 18(53, he was appointed chief of stair of the ar my of the Cumberland, anil bore prominent share in all the campaigns in middle Ten nessee in the spring and summer of that car. His last conspicuous military service was at tiie battle of Chicka- lnnuga. For liis conduct in that battle lie was promoted to a major-gcneralslip. It is said that lie wrote all the orders given to tlie army that day, and submitted them to Gen eral Rosecrans for approval, save one. The, one lie did not write was tlie fatal order to General Wood, which was so worded as not to correctly convey the meaning of the com manding general, and which caused tlie de struction of the right wing of the army. ???'The congressional district in which Gar field lived was the one long made famous by Joshua R. Giddings. The old anti-slav ery champion grew careless of the arts of politics towards tlie end of Ins career and came to look upon a nomination and re-election as a matter of course. His over-confidence was taken advantage of in 1858 by an ambitious lawyer named Hutchins, to carry a convention against him. The friends of Giddings never forgave Hutchins, and cast about for a means of defeating him. The old man himself was comfortably quar tered in liis consulateat Montreal, amldiii not care to make a fight to get baek to congress. So his supporters made use of the popularity of General Garfield and nominated liim while he Wits in the field without asking liis consent. That was in 18(52. When he heard of the nomination Garfield reflected that it would be fifteen months before the congress would .meet to which he would be elected, and believing, as did every one else, that the war could not possibly ???hist a year longer, concluded to aecept. 1 have often heard him express regret that he did not help fight the war through and say that he never would have left the army to go to congress had he foreseen that the struggle would continue beyond tlie year 18(53. He continued liis mil itary service up to the time congress met. ???On entering congress in December, 18(53, General Garfield was placed upon the com mittee on military affairs with Sclienck and Farnsworth, who were also fresh from the field. He took an active part in tlie debates of tlie house, and won a recognition whicli few new members succeed in gaining. He was not popular among liis fellow-member? dur ing his first term. They thought liim" some thing of a pedant because liesometunes show ed his scholarship in his speeches, and they were jealous of liis prominence. liis solid at tainments and amiable social qualities ena bled him to overcome this prejudice during his second term, and he became on terms of close friendship with tlie best men of both houses. His committee service during his second term was on the ways and means, which was quite to liis taste, for it gave him an opportunity to prosecute the studies he had always felt a fondness for. He was a hard worker and a great reader in those days, going home with liis arms full of hooks from tlie congressional library and sitting up late nights to read them. It was then that lie laid the foundations of the convictions on the subject of national finance which he lias since held to firmly amid all the storms of political agitation. Ho was renominated in 18(34 with out opposition, but in 18GG Mr. Hutchins, whom lie bad supplanted, made an effort to defeat him. Hutchins canvassed the district thoroughly, but the convention nominated Garfield by acclamation. ???He has had no opposition sineein liis own party. In 1872 the liberals and democrats united to beat him, but his majority was larger than ever. In 1874 the greenbackers and dem ocrats combined and put up a popular soldier against liim, but they made no impression on tiie result. Tlie Ashtabula district, as it is generally called, is tlie. most faithful to its representatives of any in the north. It has hail but four members in half a century. ???In the fortieth congress General Garfield was chairman of the committee on military affairs. In the forty-first lie 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 promo tion was to tlie chairmanship of the appro priations committee, which lie 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 ex penifcs of the government. In all tlie poll tical struggles in congress he has borne a lead ing part, liis clear, vigorous and moderate style of argument, making liim one of the most effective debaters in either house. When James G. Blaine went to the senate, in 1877, the mantle of republican leadership in the liouse was by common consent placed upon Garfield, and lie has worn it ever since. In January last Gen. Garfield was elected to the senate to the seat which was vacated by'Allen G. Thurman on the 4th of March, 1881. He re ceived the unanimous vote of tlie republican caucus, an honor never given to any man of any party in tlie state of Ohio. ???As a leader in the house he is mare cau tious and less dashing than Blaine, and his judicial turn of mind makes liim too prone to look for two sides of a question for liim to be an efficient partisan. When the issue fairly touches his convictions, however, lie becomes thoroughly aroused and strikes tremendous blows. Blaine???s tactics were to continually lmrrass the enemy by sharp-shooting surprises and picket tiring. Garfield waits for an op portunity to deliver a pitched battle, and his generalship is shown to best advantage when the fight is a fair one and waged on grounds where each party thinks itself strongest. Then his solid shot of argument are exceedingly effective. On tlie stump Garfield is one of the very best orators in the republican party. He lias???a good voice, an air of evident sincerity, great clearness and vigor of statement, and' way of knitting bis arguments together so to iuake a speech deepen its impression on the mind of the hearer until the climax is reached. ???Of his industry and studious habits a great deal might be said, but a single illustration will have to suffice here. Once during tlie busiest part of a very busy session at Washing ton I found liim in liis library, behind a big barricade of books. This was no unusual sight, but when I glanced at the volumes I saw they were all different editions of Horace, or books relating to that poet. ???I find I am overworked and need recreation,??? said the general. ???Now inv theory is that tlie best way to rest the mind is not to let it be idle, but to put it Tlie principal contestants for the nomina tion were U. 8. Grant, James (1. Blaine and John Sherman, tlie fortunes of tlie latter being committed to the leadership of General Garfield. On the second ballot General Gar field received one vote, which lie kept nearly throughout, occasionally receiving two votes, until the thirty-fourth ballot, when a break began. On the thirty-fourth ballot Garfield received 17 votes, on the thirty-fifth ballot 250. and on the thirty-sixth ballot 399 votes and the nomination, which was once made unanimous. Tlie campaign hicli followed was au exceedingly exciting one until the Indiana election in October, wliicli resulted in a republican victory, which greatly disheartened tlie democrats and threw damper on the canvass. Tiie result in No ember gave Garfield 214 electoral votes and Hancock 155. From tlie day of liis election until that of liis inauguration as president General Garfield received many distinguished visiting republican politicians, but carefully kept his own counsels and did not complete the formation of his cabinet until a day ortwo before his inauguration. His inaugural ad dress was a thoughtful, scholarly and gen erally well-received production,' but liis nomination of Senator Conkliug???s most bitter j>crsonal and political enemy. Judge Robertson, to the collector-ship of the jiort of New York precipitated a war between these giants, whilst the president???s partial re cognition of the Malionc repudiation move ment in Virginia, under the insincere guise of a demand for ???a free ballot and a fair count,??? alienated from liim the great body of demo cratic senators who were disposed to accord to liis administration a cordial support where that could be done without a violation of prin- ' >le. Scarcely had the impotent extra session tlie senate adjourned when the president as confronted with a new t.rial in the critical illness of his wife. His devotion to liis wife during her long illness and tiie close attention shown her is said to have been very beautiful and touching.??? ON THE DEATH OF PRESIDENT GAR FIELD. PERRY DAVIS' PAIN KILoG/ BY REV. J. 11. MARTIN. Dead! dead! dead! tlie die is east, The noble man has breathed his last; A mighty nation bows its head In sorrow for its chieftain dead. Not on the battle field he fell. As princely warrior lighting well: Not by disease attacked cut down In midst ??f honor aud renown. But by a vile assassin shot, Such was his sad and bitter lot: A mortal wound, a sudden blow His vitals struck and laid him low. Thy will be done, Almighty God, Help us to bear Thy chastening rod: Without a murmur may we he liesigued, submissive unto Thee. Without Thee not a bird that flies. Pierced by an arrow, fulls and dies; Without Thee man yields not his breath, And sinks into the arms of death. Thy Providence extends to all, The strong and weak, the great and small; Empires and angels serve Thy will, Thy counsels and designs fulfill. Obedient to Thy high decree Our Ruler???s soul ascends to Thee; His body shnll to dust return, As ashes gathered in an urn. Be Thou, O God, the widow???s stay. The orphans??? trust in this dark day; Support them in their crushing grief, Give succor, comfort, and relief. The aged mother prop, sustain, Help her to bear this load of pain; To all Thy powerful grace impart, A lowly, meek, submissive heart. Be still the guardian of our land. Uphold and guide us with Thy hand; Thy mercies, favors, gifts send down Our country with Thy blessing crown. September 20th. 1S81. HOSTETTElt???S BITTERS. PERRY DAVIS???
