Edward L. Pierce, Memoir and letters of Charles Sumner: volume 4, chapter 10 (search)
The first three did their best in debate to eliminate the obnoxious feature from the measure. Garfield read, as in conflict with it, the thirteenth amendment to the Constitution; but Banks could notf a later date than that of this chapter. His subsequent quarrels with three Presidents (Hayes, Garfield, and Arthur), his melodramatic resignation as senator, and his abortive effort to obtain a re-ed resigned his seat abruptly to obtain a popular approval of himself and a condemnation of President Garfield, the Republicans of New York felt a sense of relief, and seized the occasion to bar his enfive-twenties in paper currency. and some Republican leaders in that section, notably Hayes and Garfield, remained always steadfast in favor of an honest payment of the public debt. Garfield spoke,Garfield spoke, July 15 and 21, maintaining the national obligation to pay the five-twenties in coin, and replying to Butler of Massachusetts, and Pike of Maine, who had advocated the taxation of the national bonds.

against the resolution was George F. Hoar. Butler had a passage-at-arms with Garfield; the latter, taking note of the former's objection to his motion for a brief es voting for the amendment were G. F. Hoar, H. L. Dawes, Eugene Hale, and James A. Garfield; and among those voting against it were B. F. Butler and N. P. Banks. Threjoiced to learn you are better. Serus in coelum redeas. Your friend, J. A. Garfield. Wendell Phillips, who was Sumner's guest, wrote to Lydia Maria Child,d no personal relations with President Haves, and was bitterly hostile to President Garfield; but there was no attempt to remove him from the chairmanship of committen, when he was no longer master of patronage, and affronted at like neglect by Garfield, resigned his seat. Appealing to the legislature of his State to approve his re was almost universal condemnation of the removal as unjust or impolitic, Garfield, afterwards President, called the removal the greatest act of folly.

aph announced that Sumner was speaking, and the galleries filled rapidly; members of the House (among whom were observed Garfield, Shellabarger, Kelley, Butler, Banks, Hoar, and Dawes) came one after another on the floor, leaving their hall almost derom whom the President parted with a too friendly acceptance of his resignation. Later Administrations,—those of Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland, and Harrison,—have happily escaped the succession of scandals which distinguished the civil service opposition to his nomination, and who resisted it during all the ballots, which finally ended in the nomination of James A. Garfield of Ohio. The people of the State, cherishing the memory of their senator, still remembered the indignity which had earnestly with Sumner to keep aloof from the secession of 1872, became a seceder in 1880, and supported Hancock against Garfield. Henry Ward Beecher, who was another of Sumner's critics in 1872, left his party in 1884, and remained outside of it fo

episode, or rather of the diplomatic fiasco, and a final question may be asked: If the acquisition of St. Thomas was so manifestly desirable as Miss Seward represents, how does it happen that no one at Washington or among the people during the twenty years since Mr. Seward left office has said a word to revive the scheme? A good thing does not die so easily; there will always be true men and wise men to appreciate what is of enduring value. We have since had six Presidents,—Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland, and Harrison,—and, not counting Washburne, five Secretaries of State,—Fish, Evarts, Blaine, Frelinghuysen, and Bayard; but none of them has coveted this island of the Caribbean Sea, rifted by earthquakes, swept by cyclones, and submerged by tidal waves, the imagined centre of universal commerce and a necessary outpost for our national defence! Journalists and merchants have been alike silent. Foreign nations who were suspected to be greedy spectators have turned away f<

The Daily Dispatch: December 28, 1864., [Electronic resource], Pictures drawn from the Yankee House of Representatives. (search)
Pictures drawn from the Yankee House of Representatives. We gave, a day or two ago, some pictures from the Yankee Senate, drawn by a correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Here are some, by the same Jenkins, from the House of Representatives: Directly in front of the Speaker's chair, and on the inside row of seats, sits James A. Garfield, of Ohio, the youngest member of the House. He is a quiet, unassuming looking man, with light hair and whiskers; yet he has written his name on the scroll of fame, as well with the point of his trusty sword as by the silvery eloquence of his tongue. At the outbreak of the rebellion he enlisted in the army and fought his way up to a major-generalship, which he resigned to take his seat in Congress.--Further on to the right of the Speaker, in the same row, but on the Democratic side of the House, is his colleague, Mr. George Bliss, a burly man, with a profusion of black hair--one of the most influential members of his party, and one o
