  • The Allegheny County Bar in the Eighties Frank C
    The Allegheny County Bar in the Eighties Frank C. McGirk That Iwas admitted to the Bar of Allegheny County in 1880, and am still in the practice of my profession, is most likely the reason Iwas chosen to deliver this address. Iknew the great lawyers of that decade, —many of them intimately, —and frequently tried cases with and against them, and while Ithen knew their peculiarities and abilities, and the many stories then current about them, lapse of time and a failing memory willprevent the repetition of a great many matters of much interest, and jovial happen- ings of those old days. From the earliest days of this County, it has been noted for its great lawyers. Such men as Alexander Ad- dison, James Ross, Hugh Henry Brackenridge, John Woods, Thomas Collins, William Wilkins, Henry Baldwin, James Mountain, Samuel Roberts, Walter Forward, John H. Chap- lin,Neville B. Craig, Charles Shaler, Richard Biddle, John Henry Hopkins, and James Hall, of the early Pittsburgh Bar, and concerning whom, the late Judge Daniel Agnew delivered a most interesting address before the Allegheny County Bar Association on December 1, 1888, made our Bar famous throughout the land and shed great glory on the Pittsburgh lawyer. But the lawyers of the Eighties were just as great. The limits of time allowed me for this address willpermit me to refer only to a small number of those who were fam- ous in the Eighties, and no doubt Imay overlook some whom my brethren at the Bar will think well deserve remem- brance. As Judge Agnew said in his address : "The life of an upright, honorable and learned lawyer is full of instruction.

Sherman was being puffed as a presidential candidate–the last thing either man needed was association with the political “hot potato” of the day. Prosecutors such as the posturing and violent Ohioan John Bingham, were prepared to use their roles in the trial as political launching pads. Defense attorneys could look forward to nothing but vilification. Attempting to explain Ewing’s decision to join the defense, a 1980 television docudrama The Ordeal of Dr. Mudd, would depict a sequence in which General Ewing, walking down a Georgetown street, overheard a frantic Frances Mudd pleading with an attorney to defend her husband. The following scene showed Mrs. Mudd praying in a non- denominational church, only to be approached by General Ewing with an offer to help. Queried as to why a Union officer would undertake the case, Ewing Dr. Samuel Mudd merely quoted his grandfather’s admonition to follow (Libraryof Congress) an honorable path in life. The scene is fictional, if not In what would become the final month of totally implausible, given Ewing’s “lofty ideals.” the war, March, 1865, Tom Ewing went to However, if placed in a Catholic church, the scene Washington to submit his military resignation to would have been credible, especially in a symbolic Abraham Lincoln, a personal friend.

  • William Tecumseh Sherman in 1850
    William Tecumseh Sherman in 1850 ENERAL WILLIAM TECUMSEH SHERMAN of Civil War fame was a voluminous letter writer, and as he was much away G from home and traveled far his letters are unusually re- vealing and of great interest. The Historical Society of Pennsylvania has recently acquired one of unusual interest through the generosity of Mrs. Arnold G. Talbot. This letter was written at a significant period in Sherman's career. Born in 1820, he was now, at thirty, just ten years out of West Point. His military career had not developed to his satis- faction. At the outbreak of the Mexican War he had been assigned to recruiting duty and then sent to California to serve as quarter- master at Monterey. He spent the war years there "without smelling gunpowder," and while his West Point friends were winning pro- motion on the field of battle he remained a first lieutenant without any citation. After the war was over he was transferred to San Francisco where he became adjutant to the commander, Major General Persifor F. Smith, to whom this letter was written. Finally, there came welcome news. In the election of 1848 General Zachary Taylor had been elected President. He appointed Thomas Ewing, Sherman's foster father, Secretary of the new Interior Department. Ewing moved to Washington where he settled his family in the Blair house across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House. Sherman was now ordered back to the Capital, and at long last he could marry Ellen Ewing to whom he had long been engaged. He arrived in Washington in the midst of the great struggle over the admission of California as a state.

    OFFICERS OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT [ 1 ] EXPLANATORY NOTE A Cabinet officer is not appointed for a fixed term and does not necessarily go out of office with the President who made the appointment. While it is customary to tender one’s resignation at the time a change of administration takes place, officers remain formally at the head of their department until a successor is appointed. Subordinates acting temporarily as heads of departments are not con- sidered Cabinet officers, and in the earlier period of the Nation’s history not all Cabinet officers were heads of executive departments. The names of all those exercising the duties and bearing the respon- sibilities of the executive departments, together with the period of service, are incorporated in the lists that follow. The dates immediately following the names of executive officers are those upon which commis- sions were issued, unless otherwise specifically noted. Where periods of time are indicated by dates as, for instance, March 4, 1793, to March 3, 1797, both such dates are included as portions of the time period. On occasions when there was a vacancy in the Vice Presidency, the President pro tem- pore is listed as the presiding officer of the Senate. The Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution (effective Oct. 15, 1933) changed the terms of the President and Vice President to end at noon on the 20th day of January and the terms of Senators and Representatives to end at noon on the 3d day of January when the terms of their successors shall begin. [ 2 ] EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, 1789–2005 First Administration of GEORGE WASHINGTON APRIL 30, 1789, TO MARCH 3, 1793 PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES—GEORGE WASHINGTON, of Virginia.

  • I Introduction After Teaching Constitutional Law for More Than Twenty Years, I Often Think of It As a Collection of Stories. Th
    THIS WORK IS PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT AND SHOULD NOT BE CITED OR QUOTED WITHOUT THE AUTHOR’S PERMISSION. Introduction After teaching constitutional law for more than twenty years, I often think of it as a collection of stories. The stories are usually about one of two things. The first is great events in constitutional history, such as the framing and ratification of the Constitution or Reconstruction. The second is the institutions established by the Constitution or their leaders. There are many stories about Congress or its most colorful members but even more about the Supreme Court, especially its most famous decisions or justices. The presidency is the subject of more stories than the Court. Especially popular are stories about the few presidents commonly regarded as having had the greatest historical impact – notably, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin D. Roosevelt. More than a few stories are told about presidents who died in office, committed huge blunders, or presided over major scandals. This book tells a different set of stories. These stories are about the presidents whose constitutional impact has largely, if not wholly, been neglected in the study of constitutional law. These presidents’ stories are important for several reasons. First, they illuminate the richness of constitutional activity outside the Supreme Court. The Court is not, as most people suppose, the only institution that shapes constitutional law. Non-judicial actors often make monumental constitutional judgments that courts never review. Second, the forgotten presidents’ stories enrich our understanding of constitutional change. A popular theory is that constitutional changes result from the actions of a few people or events.

  • Newton C. Ewing
    / Journal of Clan Ewing 15 NEWTON C. EWING Source: Bill Ewing, Tyler, Texas. Dear Jim, You have mentioned several times that it is of interest to other Ewings, stories about the old days and history as related to our Ewings. I have been reluctant to pass on some personal family data since it relates to the Civil War and may offend some of my "Yankee Cousins" at this late date ... but having said that I will give you some information. [Editor's note: I am of the opinion that history is history and we were are not responsible for what happened a 100 or 200 years before our time. When information about a family is published in the journal, we never know how that information may help someone that is trying to locate their ancestors. Also, the more that I learn about the earlier generations, it makes me appreciate more what our ancestors went through to make this country what it is today and the freedoms that we enjoy.] My [Bill Ewing] great great great granddad was Newton Alfonzo Ewing son of Alexander, son of Nathaniel, son of Joshua (1704-1753). Nathaniel Ewing and wife, Rebecca Osborne, raised family in Statesville, North Carolina area. Alexander died in 1817 and wife, Sophia Crawford, took her family including Newton (19 years) to Henderson County, Tennessee in 1828. The next year after arriving there Newton married Nancy Lorant and they had four kids before moving to Rockport, Arkansas in 1837. He evidently received medical training during that period because he was shown to be an MD in oldest sons will later and referred to as Dr.

  • Fairfield Heritage Association Final Report
    Processing Fairfield County Archival Collections - Fairfield Heritage Association OHRAB Re-Grant Final Report, January 2014 Andrea Brookover, Executive Director As the Fairfield Heritage Association’s (FHA) archival processing project unfolded, it became obvious that there was much more to do than we anticipated when we applied for the OHRAB grant. Collection arrangement and staffing were our two biggest challenges over the course of the grant period, which was shortened since we were awarded on the second round of grants, receiving the award in August. Our estimations of the size of the collection were fairly accurate, so the supplies we ordered from Gaylord with the grant funds will be sufficient for processing the entire collection. However, we found that creating appropriate collections based on provenance and original order was much more difficult. Very few donor records for the archival collections exist, and in some cases, it was virtually impossible to determine where records came from. As noted in the grant application, there was a small portion of FHA’s holdings that had been semi-processed several years ago, but some of these one-folder “collections” did not contain archival document, but rather photocopies more appropriate for educational file. In some cases, previous staff and volunteers had broken up the semi-processed collections, so we had to reconstruct the original order based on earlier finding aids, pulling files that had all been part of the same collection upon acquisition from multiple locations in the office and museums. Often, staff had to assess whether it was more important to retain what may or may not have been original order, or to arrange files based on researcher accessibility.
