s availing himself of every opportunity to work political ends beneficial to himself. In this instance Wells protested to me against his removal, and also appealed to the President for an opinion of the Attorney-General as to my power in the case; and doubtless he would have succeeded in retaining his office, but for the fact that the President had been informed by General James B. Steadman New Orleans, June 19, 1867. Andrew Johnson, President United States, Washington City: Lewis D. Campbell leaves New Orleans for home this evening. Want of re- spect for Governor Wells personally, alone represses the expression of indigna- tion felt by all honest and sensible men at the unwarranted usurpation of General Sheridan in removing the civil officers of Louisiana. It is believed here that you will reinstate Wells. He is a bad man, and has no influence. I believe Sheridan made the removals to embarrass you, believing the feeling at the North would sustain him.

William W. Bennett, A narrative of the great revival which prevailed in the Southern armies during the late Civil War, chapter 7 (search)
We met a surgeon of one of the Alabama regiments and related the case to him, and requested, for the sake of the artilleryman, that his brother might be cared for. He immediately examined and dressed his wounds, and sent off in haste for an ambulance to take the wounded Yankee to his own regimental hospital. Alas! that our country should ever have been visited by a war in which brother was often thus arrayed against brother. Another sad incident of the same kind was related by the Hon. Lewis D. Campbell, of Ohio: I had two brothers in the war; one in the Confederate army in Texas, and the other in the Union army. They were sons of one who, at the age of seventeen, fought at the battle of Eutaw Springs. One of my brothers, at the head of a regiment of Texans, fell in Louisiana, and the other, at the head of a Union regiment, fell at the battle of Chancellorsville. And the news of the death of both of these-one on the one side and the other-reached their afflicted mother on

ced himself upon his speech, yielding nothing and retracting nothing. Of course, Brooks took action at once, and sent a challenge by Gen. Joseph Lane of Oregon. It was promptly accepted, and the arrangements and details were referred to Lewis D. Campbell of Ohio. Burlingame absented himself from the House, remaining the most of the day in the room of one of his colleagues. Early in the evening he met and walked with Mr. Wilson in the grounds east of the Capitol. He then expected to meet City Hall. He then, at that hour, supposed he should meet Brooks early the next morning; and he confided to his colleague some matters to be used in case he should fall. At parting he remarked: I do not hate Brooks, but I shall kill him. Mr. Campbell, who wrote the reply to the challenge, decided that the meeting should be held near the Clifton House in Canada, and sent Mr. Burlingame, late in the night, to take the cars, at the junction in Maryland, for that place. But Brooks declined to

Your Garrison has faun'd the flame, Child, Chapman, Pierpont, caught the fire, And, roused at Freedom's hallow'd name, Hark! Bryant, Whittier, strike the lyre; While here hearts myriad trumpet-toned, Montgomery, Cowper, Campbell, Moore, To Freedom's glorious cause respond, In sounds which thrill through every core. Their voice has conjured up a power No fears can daunt, no foes arrest, Which gathers strength with every hour And strikes a chord in every breast,— A power that soon in every land— On Europe's shore, on ocean's flood— Shall smite the oppressors of mankind And blast the traffickers in blood.

and man. The duke replied, April 24, 1863, at length to this letter. He found nothing in Lord Russell's despatch which was objectionable, and commended as favorable to us his recent reply in the House of Lords, March 23, to Lord Stratheden (Campbell). He treated the escape of the Alabama as an accident, and giving no case of quarrel. He claimed that a neutral could sell unarmed ships to a belligerent, and that such was the case of the Alabama. He regarded with astonishment Sumner's undyinly and most kindly where I think England has erred. It is twice. First, she declared neutrality between the two parties,—fatal mistake, from which Lord Russell's speech March 23, in which Earl Russell contended, in reply to Lord Stratheden (Campbell), that an offer of mediation would be premature, and a recognition of the Confederates unfriendly to the United States; and he also maintained that there was no case for the intervention of foreign powers. is the beginning of extrication.

It appears that the President was drawn into them by the assurances of General Grant, who was led to expect something. Nicolay and Hay's Life of Lincoln, vol. x. p. 127. Perhaps the country sees now more clearly than ever that closed, Governor, how is the Capitol? Is it finished? This gave Seward an opportunity of picturing the present admired state of the works, with the dome completed, and the whole constituting one of the most magnificent edifices of the world. Campbell, formerly of the Supreme Court of the United States, and reputed the ablest lawyer in the slave States, began the conference by suggesting peace on the basis of a Zollverein, and continued free-trade between the two sections, which he thought mi
