None of the clerical force had reported for duty, ‘and the ringing of the telephone was answered by Sergeant Dinsmore, He conveyed the in- formation to the President, who was much Shocked at the intelligence. The flagon the ‘White House was at once placed at balf-mast. Subsequently a telegram was received from Mr. James C. Reed, the confidential secretary of Mr. Arthur in New York, stating that ex- Presidént Arthur died at 5 o'clock this morn- ing.

Wilham Arthur, a Baptist clergyman, who came to this country trom Antrim, in the north of Ireland, at the age of eighteen, and died at Newtonville, near Atbany, October 27, 1875. Dr. Arthur was in many respects @ re- markable man. He acquired extended fame, not only in his calling, but also in the domains of authorship. His work on Family Names is highly prized by genealogists. From 1855 to 1863" He. was’ pastor of the Calvary Baptine church of New York. He also filled the pul- pits ol Baptist churches at Bennington, Hines: urg, Fairfield and Williston in Vermont, and York, Perry, Greenwich, Schenectady,’ Lan- singburg, Hoosic, West Troy and Newtonville, inthis state.

The flags on the government buildings flying at hal-mastjin the high wind conveyed to many the first intimation of the death of the ex-President. The news spread rapidly, and ‘was received with expressions of regret by every one. In the departments the receipt of the sad information caused quite a shock. A gentleman who formerly occupied an official position very near to Mr. Arthur during his oc- cupancy of the executive mansion, in con menting upon the news, sald that.he was sur- prised Wo note the length of time the ex-Presi- dent had borne up under his fatal affliction, Although possessed of a strong constitution and @ magoiticent physique, his habit of life wus such that a complete wreck of his health was almost inevitable. It had been Mr. Ar- thur’s practice, said this gentleman, not only while holding’ the presidential office, but for many years prior, to turn the night Into day. He never retired beiore 2 o’clocic in the mori ing, and begiuuing his work late in the after- noon continued it through the midnight hours.

Its Political Status Analyzed. THE DEMOCRATS WILL HAVE A MAJORITY OF FIFTEEN VOTES, BUT THE REPUBLICANS WILL HAVE A MAJORITY OF STATES. Assigning the several labor candidateselected tothe next Congress to the party which their declared predilections favor, the House of the Fiftieth Congress will stand 170 democrats to 156 republicans. This calculation concedes to the republicans two members from Rhode Island, as they will no doubt fill the vacancy now existing in that delegation. SHOULD THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION Go TO THE HOUSE, In voting by delegations, should the presi- dential election be thrown into the House, tne republicans will have twenty states—the requi- site number to elect under the Constitution—to seventeen forthe democrats. One state (New Hampshire) will have no vote, her deiegution being equally divided politically, ‘The state delegations having a republican majority are: Culifornia, Colorado, Kansas, Iulnolg, Indians, Towa, "Michigan, Nebraska, Qhio, Massachusetts, New Jerscy, New York, Rhode Island, Virginia, Vermont, Pennsyiva: regon,Maine,Nevada and Wisconsin—20.

Mr. Arthur began to take interest in political affairs very early in life. He was a delegate to the Saratoga convention but founded the re- publican party in New York state, aud previous to the outbreak of the war was judge advocate of the secund division of the state militia. Gov. Edwin D. Morgan, soon after his inaugu- ration, seletied uum (0 fili tue position of engl- neer-iu-caiet of ‘his sta! In 3861 he fi the post of inspecior general, aud soon. atter- wurd was advanced tu that of quartermaster general, which he held until the expiration of Gov. Morgan’s term of office, Although the war accouut of New York state involved mil- lions of dollars the tunds had been ais- bursed with such scrupuious fidelity by Gen, Arthur that it was the first of the accounts audited and allowed by the federal go.ernment. It is said that during bis term of office us quartermuster general of the state many atiempts were made to secure his tuvor by offering him tempting presents, Among others, # prominent ciowing house offered him a magnificent uaiform, and a print dug house sent him w costly saddie and trap- Mugs. Both gifls were indignaully rejected. When Mr. Artuur became quartermaster geue— Tul be was pcr. When his term expired he was poorer silil, though he hud opportunities to make millions unquestioned, AFTER THE WAR. At the expiration of Gov. Morgan's term Gen. Arthur returned to his law practice. Business of most lucrative character poured in upon him, and the firm of Arthur & Gardiner pros- pered, Much of thelr work consisted in the collection ot war claims und the drafting ot im- pecent, bills for speedy legislation, and a great eal of Gen. Arthur's time was spent in Albany and Washington, where his uniform success won for him # national reputation. For a short time he held the position of counsel to the Lourd of tax commissioners of New York city at $10,000 per annum. Gradually he was drawn into the arena of politics. He nomi- nated, and by his efforts elecied, tue Hon. Thos, Murphy a state senator. When the latter re- signed the New York coliectorship, November 20th, 1371, ‘ident Grant nominated Gen, Arthur to tbe vacaut position, and four yeurs later, When his term expired, renominated him, fn honor that had never been shown to any previéus collector in the history of the port. was removed by President Hayes on July 12th, 1878, despite the fact that two. special cominittees made searching investigation into his administration, and both reported them- selves unubie to find anything upon which to base a churge against him. In their pronuncia- mentos announcing the change, both President Hayes und Secretary Shermun bore official witness to the purity of his acts while in office. After his removal, Mr, Arthur returned to the Practice of his Protession and the discharge of nis duties as chairman of the republican central committee of New York state. In the campaign of 1879, which resulted in the election of Gov. Cornell (who liad also been suspended by Presi- dent Hayes in 1878), Gen. Arthur took an ac- tive part,and he was an energetic worker nt Chicago i 1880 to bring about the nomination of Gen, Grant, NOMINATED FOR THE VICE PRESIDENCY. Upon the selection of Gen. Garfield, Mr. Arthur was nominated by acclamation for the Vico Presidency, with a view to conciliaung the stulwart element, especially in his state, and to his labors were largely due the ultimate election of the yational republican ticket. He presided with dignity and impartiality over ine proceeding of the Senate and its exira pa, sion, In the earlier stazes of the conflict over the New York offices between President Gar- field and Senator Conkling, Mr. Arthur wok no shure, but afler the resignation of Messrs, Conk- Ming and Plaut, he went to Albany and lend his aclive support to the movement tor their re- election, pon the death of President Garfield, ‘Vice President Arthur was sworn in as bis auc- cessor by one of the judges of the New York supreme court, the ceremony taking place at his residence in the metropolis at 2 o'clock a. m. of the 20th Cokes September, 1881. After ac- company ing Yemains of his predecessor to Washington, Mr. Arthur, on the 224, again took ‘the oath of office, in a more formal lashion, be- fore the chiet justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, delivering at the same time a ficial power aud influence.

As the session of Congress draws near the question as to what the President will do in re- gard to the recordership of deeds is frequently asked among District people. There was a rumor in circulation that the President would appoint Mr. Matthews minister to Liberia and send in anew name to the Senate as bis suc- cessor in the office of recorder of deeds; but a STAR reporter bas ascertained that such a plan, even if contemplated, could not be car- ried’ out, as Mr. Matthews would not go to Liberia, From ti best information attain- able, it seems that thescheme as to the Liberian mission Was purely linaginative. ‘There is noth Ing to indicate that the President hus any other idea in the premises than to again submit Mr. Matthe phointinent tothe Senate. Opinion differs aso the fute of the nomination in the Senate. Itis maintained by some that, as Mr. Matthews was not rejected upon any question of principle, there is no reason why the Senate Should not reconsider its forther action. There are others Who hold that the Senate wiiladhere to its record in the case, and will reject Mat- thews by @ more emphatic vote than betore. Senator Blackburn, who reported the nomina- tion from, the District committee at the list session, declared just before he left Washing. ton some weeks ago Uhat, upon a renomination, not more than bualf a dozen votes would be cust for Matthews’ confirmation. In behalf of the incumbent, it is claimed that he has made an efficient officer, and that the Senate, it guided by justice, must Judge him by his public record and his private character. The indica- Lions are that the Senate will be given another Oppurtunity to upon the appointme! and itis probable that it will excite a livel controversy in that body. nw Purchases of Naval Supplies. A NEW SYSTEM TOBE TRIED BY SECRETARY WHITNEY. The appointment of a paymaster general of the navy yesterday was the inauguration of the formerly expressed intention of Secretary Whitney to consolidate if practicable some of the daties of the different bureaus of the Navy department, if not the bureaus themselves The first step in this direction, he announced some time ago, Would be to do'away with the extensive and conflicting system of making ‘purchases of supplies and providing for the Storage and safekeeping of the same. Hereto- fore the different bureaus have had representa- tives at each yard and station todo the work that the Secretary considers should be simpil- fied and concentrated. He bas signed an order placing all such matters iv charge of the bureau of provisions and clotbing, the head of whica is the paymaster general of the navy, who was appointed yesterday. ‘The order was ‘not issued ‘at once, but was held back temporarily, pend- ing adecigion as to the additional room and force of clerks that will be required undef the few arrangement.

He found Mr. Arthur lying on his side breathing heavily amd could not rouse him, The family answered his sum: toelicit any sign of consciousness ion trom ‘the ex-President, In alarm summoned his physician, Dr. George A.

A small bioud vessel in the brain had burstand paralysis of the right side had ensued. ALL HoPE ABANDONED. From the moment the discovery was made all hope was known to be vain, but no efforts were spared to bring the patient back to con- selousness. They were all alike failures. Mr. Arthur lay motionless and speechless all day. ‘He knew what was going on about him, for he squeezed his doctor's hand and put out bis tongue purtly when asked to do so, but he never spoke or gave any other sign of conscious- ness. t night at 6 o'clock the enieebled pulse, more difficult respiration and other signs of physical failure, indicated to the wateh- tui eyes of his physiciays that the end was drawing near.

THE CLOSING SCENE. Mr. Knevals went home at midnight. Mr. Arthur's strength ebbed out slowly and with it his life. It was 5 o'clock when the end came. He had been entirely senseless for hours and died without a struggle. Mr. Arthur was 36 years old. He had been a widower 7 years. His wife died in 1879. She was Miss “Elien Herndon veiore be ‘married her, daughier of a naval officer, a Virginian, who. was lost. at sea, Or" their” two’ children, the son, Chester Allan, Is twenty-iwo years old.

Peters was found at his office to-day. -He said: “Mr. Arthur died of cerebral apoplexy, that is, 1t was the immediate cause. It was one of the ways in which his trouble might terminate at any time. To that extent it was notanexpected. For two or three years Mr, Arthur had suffered from an enlarged and enieebled heart, and the variety of symptoms that alarmed his friends were the natural result of this condition, He had kidney trouble, t's disease, but It Was not the cause of his death, Aman ‘ot less powerful constitution would have succumbed much sooner. His great physical strength pulled him through as Tar as this, Mr. Arthur was not only a physi- caily strong, but'a miguty good man, and those who were closest to him in his trouble learued to value him most bighly. ‘Telegrams conveying the intelligence of the death of the ex-President have been sent to his brother, Major Wm.
