Benjamnin F. Butler, Butler's Book: Autobiography and Personal Reminiscences of Major-General Benjamin Butler, Chapter 1: lineage and education. (search)
f the Supreme Court of Judicature of New Hampshire. He is still in healthful, vigorous old age, with a mind clear, thoughtful, and comprehensive, and, in 1889, gives promise of a much further prolongation of life, a promise which all hope will be fulfilled. This venerable man has done a thing the like of which no man ever will do again, upon the doctrine of chances: he voted in 1840 as presidential elector for the election of William Henry Harrison as President of the United States, and, in 1888, forty eight years after, as such elector, voted to make president his grandson, Benjamin Harrison. Judge Nesmith died in 1890, since this paragraph was written. Nay, so potent were the Scotch Irish Presbyterians in the councils of New Hampshire, and so intense was their hatred of popery, that in the constitutional convention of 1784, which organized the province as a State of the United States, they were enabled to have inserted in the Constitution (which in almost all things else cop

fficer while he drew a very large salary as Consul-General at Havana, a part of which the treasury refused to pay, and as he had in fact drawn double salary during the largest part of all these years, they sued Badeau for the money taken by him without law, so he in turn sued the United States. But the Supreme Court sat down on that performance, saying that the law forbade it but there was no law by which the same could be recovered back. [See Badeau vs. U. S. Sup. Court Reports, Oct. Term, 1888.] I have no objection to being slandered by such a man, and therefore allow the criticisms of this unassigned lieutenant upon me to remain unanswered except by showing what sort of a creature made them. I believe the reader will come to the conclusion that the bottle was made exactly according to the orders of Grant and according to his understanding of the situation on April 1; and also that it was intended by me to be exactly what it was, admittedly an intrenched camp that could not

as could have been done; but Mr. Kelly was taken sick almost immediately after the election and could not attend to business. With him to aid me I could have proven the case; without him I could not bring in the witnesses against the great influence of a successful administration and would fail of proof, and therefore the investigation was not instituted. But I felt certain then, as I do now, that there were votes to the number of several thousand that were wrongly counted in that election. Since that time I have taken no part in politics, save that in the campaign of 1888 I made a single speech in Boston in behalf of the tariff, and I repeated that speech at Detroit, at the request of President Harrison. Michigan was regarded as a doubtful State, as another attempt was being made to have a fusion between the Democrats and greenbackers in that campaign, such as was carried out in the previous one, and I used all the influence I could to prevent its being done.
