  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • “The Wisest Radical of All”: Reelection (September-November, 1864)
    Chapter Thirty-four “The Wisest Radical of All”: Reelection (September-November, 1864) The political tide began turning on August 29 when the Democratic national convention met in Chicago, where Peace Democrats were unwilling to remain in the background. Lincoln had accurately predicted that the delegates “must nominate a Peace Democrat on a war platform, or a War Democrat on a peace platform; and I personally can’t say that I care much which they do.”1 The convention took the latter course, nominating George McClellan for president and adopting a platform which declared the war “four years of failure” and demanded that “immediate efforts be made for a cessation of hostilities, with a view to an ultimate convention of the states, or other peaceable means, to the end that, at the earliest practicable moment, peace may be restored on the basis of the Federal Union of the States.” This “peace plank,” the handiwork of Clement L. Vallandigham, implicitly rejected Lincoln’s Niagara Manifesto; the Democrats would require only union as a condition for peace, whereas the Republicans insisted on union and emancipation. The platform also called for the restoration of “the rights of the States 1 Noah Brooks, Washington, D.C., in Lincoln’s Time, ed. Herbert Mitgang (1895; Chicago: Quadrangle Books, 1971), 164. 3726 Michael Burlingame – Abraham Lincoln: A Life – Vol. 2, Chapter 34 unimpaired,” which implied the preservation of slavery.2 As McClellan’s running mate, the delegates chose Ohio Congressman George Pendleton, a thoroughgoing opponent of the war who had voted against supplies for the army. As the nation waited day after day to see how McClellan would react, Lincoln wittily opined that Little Mac “must be intrenching.” More seriously, he added that the general “doesn’t know yet whether he will accept or decline.

  • Pennsylvania Magazine of HISTORY and BIOGRAPHY
    THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY Simon Cameron and the Senatorial domination of I867 o ACCEPT the various stories of bribery and corruption that arose during the course of the United States senatorial race Tin Pennsylvania, which ended in January, 1867, it would be necessary to believe, as the Pittsburgh Qazette observed, that Simon Cameron had "an inexhaustible mine of wealth, and that he scat- tered it with marvelous prodigality/'1 Despite this note of warning, historians have tended to overemphasize bribery and corruption as explanations for the Pennsylvania politician's political successes.2 A careful study of the campaign for the senatorial nomination in 1867, a critical contest for both Simon Cameron and Pennsylvania, clearly suggests that his triumph was due less to money, which even 1 Pittsburgh Gazette, Jan. 10, 1867. 2 Although aware of Cameron's other abilities, historians have so heavily stressed his cor- ruption as to make it appear the major feature in his political career. See, for example, Matthew Josephson, The Politicos, 1865-1896 (New York, 1938), 77-78; Wayland Fuller Dunaway, A History of Pennsylvania (New York, 1935), 525; Erwin Stanley Bradley, "Post-Bellum Politics in Pennsylvania, 1866-1872" (unpublished doctoral dissertation, Pennsylvania State College, 1952), *33-i$S\ Frank Bernard Evans, "Pennsylvania Politics, 1872-1877: A Study in Leadership without Responsibility" (unpublished doctoral dissertation, Pennsylvania State University, 1962), I, 14-17. Although Bradley (402-404) and Evans (II, 505-506) conclude that Cameron's success was due to other causes as well, their handling of his career in the body of their work leads the reader to believe that, in fact, Cameron's corruption was the most im- portant element in his political life.

The legislation preceding the adoption of the Civil Rights Bill, will indicate the objects Congress was strivi ng to obtain, or the evils for which a remedy was being sought; while the legislation which follows its adoption terminates in the import~nt and comprehensive provisions of the Four­ teenth Amendment .to the Constitution. The debates in Congress on the Bill of Rights should offer us sufficient data from whlch we may fairly estimate what Congress intended to accomplish, . namely, the distri­ bution of justice by destroying discrimination against the Negro in southern states; the establishment of equality before the law, and the nullification of every state law that conflicted with the enlarged provisions of the Consti­ tution.

  • The Deal for Philadelphia: Simon Cameron and the Genesis of a Political Machine, 1867-1872 by John D
    The Deal for Philadelphia: Simon Cameron and the Genesis of a Political Machine, 1867-1872 by John D. Stewart II Moisei Ostrogorski observed in 1904: Sometimes an ambitious and specially gifted politician quickens or anticipates the process of natural evolution, he 'builds a machine' from top to bottom; he finds out men capable of serving him as lieu- tenants, comes to an understanding with them, and by his manoeuvres spreads his net over the whole city or the whole state. But if he succeeds in this, it is because the social and political elements of the Machine were there ready to hand' The victory of Simon Cameron in the senatorial contest had insured the permanence of Pennsylvania's "Republican Revolution." In 1867, he set about the task of harmonizing the conflicting inter- ests of the Allegheny and Philadelphia "rings" on whom depended the precarious political balance in the state. For the Curtis-McClure faction of the party, the senatorial defeat was the major event in their political lives. Never again would they rise so near the seat of power they once enjoyed. Even a Democratic newspaper observed after the election: "Of all the radicals, our choice was Simon Cam- eron—For, first, his election smashed the Curtin-McClure machine, whose juggernaut wheels have long run over the necks of Demo- crats . ." 2 Yet their friends were still strong at the local level par- ticularly in Philadelphia, where politicians can be divided into two groups—the state and federal, and the locally oriented. The form- er, working from their legislative power base in Harrisburg, sought to control blocks of Philadelphia votes in order to increase their power in the state and federal arena.
