THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION, SEPTEMBER 27, 1881. PRESIDENT ARTHUR. HE IS NOTIFIED OF MR. GARFIELD???S DEATH. And Immediately Take* tbe Oath of Offlee Before Judges Brady and Donahue cf New York??? He Declines to be Interviewed???The Movement of the New President. A GREAT STORM * Ppccinl dbqxitch to The Constitution. New York, September 20.???in accordance with the dispatch received from the cabinet in regard to taking the oath of office, messengers were sent to the different judges of the supreme court. The first to put in an appenranee was Judge John It Brady, who was closely followed by Justice Ikina- huc. The purty, comprising the vice-president and die judges named, besides District-Attorney Rollins ainl Elihu Root and the eldest son of the new presi dent, usM-mbled in the front parlor of No 123 Lexing ton avenue, General Arthur???s residence, where the ontli of office was administered. President Arthur has not signified his intention as to when he would visit the capital, and he de clined to he Interviewed ns to his future course. Secretary Blaine arrived in this city this morning and is now with President Arthur. The Sun-Extm says that General Arthur was sworn In at a quarter past 2 this morning at his house. Two judges of the New York supreme court had been sent for???J R limdy and Charles Donahue. Judge Rrady arrived with Messrs Rollins and Root at 10 mlnnb-s before 2, but the ceremony was, out of courtesy, deferred until Judge Donahue arrived. At a little after 2 o'clock with ex-Commissioner French, Judge Rmdy stood on the other side of the table, facing General Arthur; grouped around the two men were Judge Donahue, Elihu Root, Com missioner French and Daniel G Rollins and General Arthur???s sou. Judge Rmdy slowly advanced a step and reached his right hand; Gen eral Arthur did likewise. A moment of impressive silence followed. General Arthur's features were almost fixed. Then Judge Rrady ad ministered the oath, General Arthur speaking in arleur, ringing voice: "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully exe cute the office ol president of the United .Suites and will to the bestof my ability preserve, protect and defend tbe constitution of the United Stutes.??? After this he remained standing a mo ment longer, and his Hand still raised. No one iqioke, nor ilid the president afterward give expres sion to any emotion. Up to;! o'clock he hud not decided when to leave the city for Washington. General Arthur did not retire until daybreak. At 9 o???clock this morning he arose and took a bath. At that hour Secretary Blaine and George Bliss had called, and was waiting to see him. Up to 10 o'clock alwolutely nothing new had been determined by President Arthur. TO THE CABINET. The following telegram was sent to the cabinet this morning: New York, September 20.???I lmvc your message announcing the death of President Garfield. Permit me to renew, through you the expression of sorrow and symiMthy, which I have already telegraphed to Attorney-General MacVcagli. In accordance with your suggestion I have taken the onih of office as president, before the Hon. John R. llrady, justice of the supreme court of the suite of New York. I will warn advise you further in regard to the other sug gestion in your telegram. C. A. Arthur. CAUJNO ON THE PRESIDENT. At 10 o'clock the throng in the vicinity of General Arthur's house had materially Increased. Colonel George Bliss was busily engaged In visiting clubs and hotels, and In semliug telegrams, the nature of which could not be discovered. At half-post 10 o???clock Governor Cornell, accompanied by Dwight Lawrence, drove to the house and had a long inter view with the president. General Arthur's residence lias attracted a throng of idle and curious persous all the morning, and a policeman has been in attendance to keep the steps Clear. General Arthur received a few-enHenc His orders on tills subject are peremptory, and officious persons who had the bail Uiste to attempt to intrude ou bis privacy at Ibis lime, met with a deserved rebuff. THE SECRETARIES IN WAITING. Secretaries Blaine and Lincoln arrived from the cast this morning, and without waiting for break fast proceeded at once to General Arthur's resi dence. Nothing of note transpired during their Interview. They remain with him during the morning und will leave with him at noon for Long Branch. General Arthur's face betrayed the deej grief from which he was suffering, us did the features of Blaine and Lincoln. No question of possible cabinet changes was dismissed, nor will anything pcrtaiuiug to General Arthur's intentions be re ferred to or receive any consideration until the funeral of the president is over. The Express says: "When Secretaries Blaine and Lincoln arrived they entered the house, where they met General Arthur, Postmaster-General James und George Bliss, who had arrived only a short time previously. Tbe eonsulbition between the general anil his visitors lasted until 10:ir>, when the start for Long Branch was made. The party entered a car riage in waiting and were driven to the foot of Lib erty street, where they took the 11 o'clock train for Ella-roil. General Arthur was ui-componicd only by Secretarie* Blaine and Lincoln, Postmaster-General James and Mr. GeoTge Bliss.??? ARRIVAL OF THE PRESIDENT. President Arthur anil Secretaries Blaine and Lin coln have arrived at Elberon. The carriage used to cany President Arthur nnd Secretary Blaine from the depot to General Mac- Rr'ongh's cottage was purchased by the dead presi dent only a short time before he was shot. A mon ogram formed of the letters J A G, Is on the door panel each side of the vehicle. nu secluded New York Home. New York Letter to Buffalo Courier. Vice-President Arthur???s house on Lexington avenue is one of a plain row of four-story brown Mono fronts. A few years ago the neighborhood was none of the best in point of moral ohnmeter, hut the property oweners, one of whom is a police justice and the other is the commissioner of public works, Allen Campbell, Mr Arthur???s next-door neighbor, put their heads and hands together to give it a cleaning, and certain resorts of Uie fair anil frail that had become noto rious were closed up. Some of the old odor still clings to it, hut not enough to do any particular harm. Ever since the murderous attack on the president, the vice-president???s house has been an object of special interest to the people living there about, but still more so to the reporters. It has been watched day aud night us closely ns though a dozen detectives hud it under snrveillauec. A good deal of the custom of a neat and cosy bar a few doors away has come from persous lounging about to see what might turn tin. But very fetv visitors to the house have escaped the sham eyes of the news paper men. Ex-Senator Conkling, George Bliss, Police Commissioner French and Senator Jones, of Nevada, have been the most frequent callers for gome time past. General Grant has called a few times, and also the somewhat notorious insurance superintendent, John F Smythe. But the reporters missed one hasty visitor of some note who culled late last Saturday night. It was about II o'clock, and they* had left their posts of observation for the night. The visitor was Postmaster James. He had hurried on from Washington without any news paperman therenotieinghisdeparture. AtlOo'cluck lie stepp'd from the train in Jersey City and shook hands with his son-in-law. Postmaster Pear son. An hour later he was in Vice-President Arthur's parlor talking privately to the heir expectant. At 12 o'clock he was again iu Jersey City and on board the midnight train for Washington. At the timehe left Washing ton the president was supposed to be dying, liis mysterious and peculiar secret trip had an impor tant object, of course. The knowiug ones say lie i-aine on to bring Arthur to Washington, but that duqsitches reporting an improvement in the presi dent???s condition ehanged the programme. 'lhere is now a strong hope that Arthur trill not need to go to Washington at all till the meeting of congress. He is said to share this luqie himself. His friends???at least a few of them represent him us esiieeially solicitous for the pres dent???s recovery. They sav he dreads the possibility of having to bike the president???s place. lie told one of them the other day that while the worst of the dispatches were coming in he "passed through the valley of the shadow of death.??? It can be said, at all events, that he has shown good taste and feeling in abstaining from any parade of himself before the public since the calamity In Washington. He has secluded himself nearly all the time, ami it ts said that the confinement is now- telling on his health. On this account he wishes to leave the city for u few weeks, and if the reports from the white house continue favorable he will probably j>ay a sort of vacation visit to General Grant at Long Branch. That Swept Through Wlnlervllle, Spreading Destruc tion In IU Path. Athens Banner. Mr. K. T. Pittard, who lives one mile from ???\Vintorville, was in the city to-day, and gave us a graphic description of a cyclone which visited that portion of the county Thursday. He was out some distance from his house picking cotton, and when it began to rain he, with his hands, went to shelter under an old shed in the highest part of the field. In this position he was enabled to get the liest view jHissible of one of the grandest and most frightful scenes that ever fell to his lot, and one which lie says he does not want to see again. He says that'he had read of cyclones great deal and was enabled to tell that this one was coming when he heard the first noise it made, five miles from where he stood. From where lie stood he could see two miles in the direction from jvhcnce the storm came nd one mile in the direction it wc-nt. When lie first saw it there seemed^to lx* a great fuiinel-shajied cloud with the small end plowing along the earth, and revolving with great velocity as it moved toward him. It made a noise at first like a heavy coal burn ing locomotive as it jkisscs on'the railroad track, and this noise increased the nearer it nine till it was the most deafening sound he ever heard. He says that the noise at Gettys burg was not a circumstance to this, and when it struck the heavy timber in its track he verily THE RISING SUN. A SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF CHES TER A. ARTHUR. Who Mr. Arthur Is. Whence He Sprung, the Charac ter of His Ancestors. His Own Advent Into Politics. Whst He Has Already Accom plished. and His Probable Future. Gath's Sketch of President Arthur. The Baptist church is responsible for Ches ter A. Arthur. His father was one of those' sterling old men who have made the Baptist clergy missionaries and eivilizers. Almost as early as there were Puritans in England there were also Baptists. After much persecution, the baptists obtained toleration under Wil liam of Orange. In Scotland and tiie north of Ireland many of the Calvinists adopted the Baptist idea, and claimed that baptism had even a higher earthly antiquity than Christianity. The Baptists are in , gen eral Calvinistic congregationalists, with the great central idea of baptism as the lead ing bond of faith and an indispensable rite. Like all Calvinists the Baptists were early advocates of colleges and of education. If you can imagine a Scotch-Irisli Presbyte- General Arthur compelled the concessions, on the street railroad ears, lor colored people to ride. The Fourth Avenue street railroad, New York, which belongs to the Harlem steam railroad company, undertook one day to put a black woman off. It was done with vio lence. and she applied to Arthur, who brought suit and got a verdict of $500 against the coin- >anv. The next day after this verdict an rder was posted up in the ears allowing col ored people to ride. Previously, throughout the immense length of New York island, only one railroad allowed black people to be pas sengers, and then only in particular cars. William H. Seward, in 1830, was concerned his first slave case, that which turned his attention to the politics of anti-slavery. A requisition from Virginia was made upon Governor Leonard in that year for three col ored seamen who had concealed a slave in their vessel, and brought the slave to New York. The slave had been surrendered; the ignoble, bloodhounds now demanded his fel low-negroes _ and friends. The recorder of New York city would not honor the requisi tion of the small Virginia Pharaoh. This chap then impudently called on the governor of New York to override the recorder and judge i the law. Seward made the grand argu ment that requisitions, under the American constitution, must be made for real crimes against civilization, not crimes made rian, witli all his other qualities intensified believes???

All that Virginia did by pur- statesman, yet it no doubt did strengthen the suing the case with her sprigs of lawyer poli ticians was to make Seward a great personage. He retired awhile from ottiee, only to be come, after reappearing, a phenomenon. General Arthur???s connection with the woman fainted. The track of the terrible wind was de scribed as follows: It struck flic earth first near the place of Mr. William H. Deane, who lives five miles below below Winterville and passing on through Mr. Brittain???s field scat tered liis cotton in . wild confusion. It then passed into the field of Mr..! nines 8uddeth, fur ther on,and literally torcliss fields all to pieces. His cotton won't lx* worth anything, even if he can find enough to gather up. The next place struck was Mr. Randolph Towns, anil it greatly damaged a portion of his cotton, after which it crossed the Georgia railroad at Hodges???s blacksmith shop, taking the shop with it, and knocking down George Hodges, an old negro was was standing close by. He was not seriously hurt. Probably liis father had to recross the line to preach, and even to reside, after the gen eral???s birth; and this has led to some notion that the vice-president was bom in Canada, an idea which I think is to be classed with that of Wilkes Booth being still alive and Mr. Stan ton having cut his throat. It is not reasonable that a gentleman aware of his disabilities should take the oath as vice- president. Yet it is sometimes hard for men of itinerant clerical parentage, born fifty years ago, to be thoroughly accurate about their birthplace. General Arthur???s father probably lived in twenty different towns, and preached in about that number of churches, after the The cyclone passed a mile from Winterville I son was born. The general drift of liis res! anil struck the field of McAlpin and Pittard dcncc was down the east side of Lake Chnm- but did not do any great damage. Mr. Pittard says it passed just between his house and liis nearest neighbor???s, which were three hundred yards apart. It then struck a belt of heavy timber which is a half mile wide and runs north and soutli. Here the damage was heavy hut fortunately no more houses were in dos'e proximity to it. The large trees were lifted by plain to the foot of the lake, and then south ern Vermont, around the field of Bennington and over into New York state, about in the quarter.of the Hoosac tunnel, and so on to Troy, Albany and Schenectady.

Passing out of this the storm quite a good church here called the Calvary ceivable shape, followed up the headwaters of Beaver Dam creek for some distance, passed into the fields I of Anderson Bullock on John Winter???s place and did considerable damage. It destroyed | at least three bales of cotton for Bullock and blew down all his stables. The next thing in its track was a school house in which were i colored man and boy. The man managed to get out and catch a sapling when the house I was blown over, and tbe boy was carried about -10 yards and was badly iiruised. A log was blown out of the house 'a distance of 100 Baptist. He was not only a minister but an author, something of the style of Disraeli???s father. While Ben Disraeli, the elder, wrote the "Curiosities of Literature, Rev. William Artliurwrote the ??????Origin of Modern Names.??? About 1875 the old man died, beholding liis son collector of the port of New York and considerable of a man in the councils of the radical republican party.
