CHOATE'S LONDON ADDRESS ON OUR CHIEF JUDICIAL BODY-"THE CRIME OF 1877" AMBASSADOR Choate's London address on the United States supreme court was printed in the June North American Review. Our reason for failing to reproduce the article was that it appeared to require an answer-alone it was open to a very serious criticism. This criticism is now available in a four column article by John Bigelow in the New York Sun, which is reviewed by Harper's Weekly in its issue of August 1. Mr. Bigelow takes for his text Mr. Choate's assertion that the federal judiciary has steadily refrained from exercising any political power which belongs exclusively to congress and the president, and so it has been brought into no collision with the other departments. Mr. Choate added that the federal judiciary would not even indulge in discussions, or express opinions upon purely political questions, and he quoted with approval the refusal of the United States supreme court to comply with a request by President Washington for the opinions of the judges on the construction of the treaty with France of 1778, and a similar refusal to consider and pass upon certain pension claims, on the ground that the power proposed to be exercised was "not a judicial power within the meaning of the constitution." "How can Mr. Choate's assertion be reconciled with the part played by five judges of the United States supreme court in the electoral commission of 1877, when they showed themselves to be divided as strictly on partisan lines as were their fellow members of the commission, who had been chosen by the senate and by the house of representatives?" the Weekly asks. "Mr. Choate correctly declared in his address that the supreme court has original jurisdiction only in cases affecting ambassadors, public ministers, and consuls, and in those in which a state shall be a party; in all other matters the jurisdiction of the supreme court is only appellate. He would scarcely pretend that the right of the supreme court to meddle with the counting of electoral votes for the presidency comes under either of these categories. Mr. Choate went on to say in his address that the courts of the United States exercise no supervision over, or interference with, the president, or congress, or the legislatures of the states. They have, he pointed out. no jurisdiction to pronounce any statute, either of a state or of the United States, void, because irreconcilable with the constitution, except as they are called upon to adjudge the legal rights of parties as they come before them. In a word, 'the supreme court will perform no duties except judicial duties.' Was counting the electoral votes for president, asks Mr. Bigelow, any more than the counting of the votes received by a member of congress or an alderman, a judicial duty coming before the judges of the highest federal tribunal? Were the members of the supreme court exercising no 'interference with the president or congress' when they cooperated with members of the senate and house of representatives, and finally gave the casting vote which invested with the dignity and responsibilities of the presidency a candidate whom few persons at this day believe to have been elected by the people? -Public Opinion, Vol. 35

Book excerpt: In the annals of presidential elections, the hotly contested 1876 race between Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel J. Tilden was in many ways as remarkable in its time as Bush versus Gore was in ours. Chief Justice William Rehnquist offers readers a colorful and peerlessly researched chronicle of the post—Civil War years, when the presidency of Ulysses S. Grant was marked by misjudgment and scandal, and Hayes, Republican governor of Ohio, vied with Tilden, a wealthy Democratic lawyer and successful corruption buster, to succeed Grant as America’s chief executive. The upshot was a very close popular vote (in favor of Tilden) that an irremediably deadlocked Congress was unable to resolve. In the pitched battle that ensued along party lines, the ultimate decision of who would be President rested with a commission that included five Supreme Court justices, as well as five congressional members from each party. With a firm understanding of the energies that motivated the era’s movers and shakers, and no shortage of insight into the processes by which epochal decisions are made, Chief Justice Rehnquist draws the reader intimately into a nineteenth-century event that offers valuable history lessons for us in the twenty-first.

Book excerpt: In this supplement to Volume 7 of the Oliver Wendell Holmes Devise History of the Supreme Court of the United States, Charles Fairman examines the Electoral Commission of 1877, which was headed by Justice Joseph P. Bradley. In the disputed presidential election of 1876, the Supreme Court was involved through the appointment of five justices to the commission of fifteen created by Congress to resolve the stalemate arising from the political division between the Senate and House. Divided seven to seven along party lines, the decisive vote and opinion was that of the member appointed for judicial impartiality, Justice Bradley. In his study of the Electoral Commission of 1877, Fairman sheds new light on this controversial historical event, vindicating Justice Bradley against his detractors. This book represents an important revision of conventional narratives of the Electoral Commission, combining intensive research with all the fascination of a detective story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this major work of popular history and scholarship, acclaimed historian and biographer Roy Morris, Jr., tells the extraordinary story of how, in America's centennial year, the presidency was stolen, the Civil War was almost reignited, and black Americans were consigned to nearly ninety years of legalized segregation in the South. The bitter 1876 contest between Ohio Republican governor Rutherford B. Hayes and New York Democratic governor Samuel J. Tilden is the most sensational, ethically sordid, and legally questionable presidential election in American history. The first since Lincoln's in 1860 in which the Democrats had a real chance of recapturing the White House, the election was in some ways the last battle of the Civil War, as the two parties fought to preserve or overturn what had been decided by armies just eleven years earlier. Riding a wave of popular revulsion at the numerous scandals of the Grant administration and a sluggish economy, Tilden received some 260,000 more votes than his opponent. But contested returns in Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina ultimately led to Hayes's being declared the winner by a specially created, Republican-dominated Electoral Commission after four tense months of political intrigue and threats of violence. President Grant took the threats seriously: he ordered armed federal troops into the streets of Washington to keep the peace. Morris brings to life all the colorful personalities and high drama of this most remarkable -- and largely forgotten -- election. He presents vivid portraits of the bachelor lawyer Tilden, a wealthy New York sophisticate whose passion for clean government propelled him to the very brink of the presidency, and of Hayes, a family man whose midwestern simplicity masked a cunning political mind. We travel to Philadelphia, where the Centennial Exhibition celebrated America's industrial might and democratic ideals, and to the nation's heartland, where Republicans waged a cynical but effective "bloody shirt" campaign to tar the Demo-crats, once again, as the party of disunion and rebellion. Morris dramatically recreates the suspenseful events of election night, when both candidates went to bed believing Tilden had won, and a one-legged former Union army general, "Devil Dan" Sickles, stumped into Republican headquarters and hastily improvised a devious plan to subvert the election in the three disputed southern states. We watch Hayes outmaneuver the curiously passive Tilden and his supporters in the days following the election, and witness the late-night backroom maneuvering of party leaders in the nation's capital, where democracy itself was ultimately subverted and the will of the people thwarted. Fraud of the Century presents compelling evidence that fraud by Republican vote-counters in the three southern states, and especially in Louisiana, robbed Tilden of the presidency. It is at once a masterful example of political reporting and an absorbing read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the era of America's landmark antebellum compromises and that of the Compromise of 1877, a war had intervened, destroying the integrity of the Southern system but failing to determine the New South's relation to the Union. While it did not restore the old order in the South, or restore the South to parity with the Union, it did lay down the political foundations for reunion, bring Reconstruction to an end, and shape the future of four million freedmen. Originally published in 1951, this classic work by one of America's foremost experts on Southern history presents an important new interpretation of the Compromise, forcing historians to revise previous attitudes towards the Reconstruction period, the history of the Republican party, and the realignment of forces that fought the Civil War. Because much of the negotiating occurred in secrecy, historians have known less about this Compromise than others before it. Now reissued with a new introduction by Woodward, Reunion and Reaction gives us the other half of the story.

Book excerpt: From one of our most distinguished historians comes a groundbreaking new examination of the myths and realities of the period after the Civil War. Drawing on a wide range of long-neglected documents, Eric Foner places a new emphasis on black experiences and roles during the era. We see African Americans as active agents in overthrowing slavery, in shaping Reconstruction, and creating a legacy long obscured and misunderstood. He compellingly refutes long-standing misconceptions of Reconstruction, and shows how the failures of the time sowed the seeds of the Civil Rights struggles of the 1950s and 60s. Richly illustrated and movingly written, this is an illuminating and essential addition to our understanding of this momentous era.
