Vice-President Arthur

Various papers throughout the country tna busylrithcmselvcs at the present time, prophesving what courso Vice-President Arthur will purfue in the event of his being calletl to the presidency by tlic death cl PmMMlt Garfield. Sorne of theni assert he will du (me thilig and sorae another. Gen. Arthur u an able, honot man. Hc bas the warning example before him of Millard Fillmore, John Tyler, and "Aiu'y" Johnson, each of whom uponassuming the presidential respousibilitics marked out a new line of policy in direct oppositloD to that pursucil by tlieir preUecessoii ; and in each iiiütance weic couJenuieil by the people. It is our opinión that Gen. Arthur will uot fall into a likc rut, bui on the contrary that he will use his keen business intellect for what he conceives to Mc the best interest of the country and the publican party. We opine that bi ¦ ¦.!;,. ¦,,( unnlil bc (O nniiiinati' rxücnator Itoseoe Conklin to lili llie vaiimcy on the supreme bench caused by the death of Judge CUflbtd, ofMmbw. tlao believe that be would retaln the cabinct as now constitutfd ; that lic would not remove Mr. J{olertsonfroui thecollectorship of tlie port of New Vork ; and that he would makc no thanges because men win .ulmuiUtratiou or anti-adniinistration men in the past. Such a course, lionestly and iirinly pureued, would be for the best interests of the country; would give tbc re publican party twenty ycare longcr continuauce in jower; and place Gen. Arthur upon a high emiuence in the estecm and ¦t the people. His p.ith of duty is m i niinirly plain, if he should bc ealleil to the presidency by the deatli ot Gen. Garüeld.
