Lincoln Abraham
Abraham Lincoln Is Grateful For Much-Needed Public Support For His Emancipation Proclamation
He writes a composer thanking him for sending a copy of his new “Emancipation March†published by the same firm that published “The Battle Cry of Freedom†The only known letter of Lincoln from January 1863 relating to or mentioning emancipation known to be in private hands On March 4 1861 President Abraham Lincoln delivered his Inaugural Address to a nation in peril divided over the issue of slavery. He explained his belief that secession was unconstitutional and that he intended to do all in his power to save the Union. In addition just as he had promised throughout the election campaign he emphasized “…I have no purpose…to interfere with the institution of slavery in the states where it exists…I have no inclination to do so…†Though Lincoln personally hated slavery his priority was saving the Union and he thus tried to reassure the South by saying he had no desire or right to make the abolition of slavery his goal. But the Southern states did not return to the Union in fact four more states seceded and a month into Lincoln’s term Fort Sumter was fired upon and the Civil War commenced. In 1861 and 1862 the Union armies experienced repeated defeats in the crucial Eastern theater. There was Bull Run and Second Bull Run Stonewall Jackson’s big win in the Shenandoah Valley the string of debacles in the Virginia Peninsular campaign the rise of the formidable Robert E. Lee in that campaign the loss of hope of taking Richmond and many more setbacks. Across the Union there was widespread exasperation with both the Army of the Potomac and the Lincoln administration and a growing uncertainty that the war could be won. In early 1862 Lincoln would lament “the bottom is out of the tub.†As a result of these factors by July 1862 the President had decided that emancipation of the slaves was a military necessity. Lincoln knew that many thousands of enslaved people were ready to fight for the Union. He wrote “This is not a question of sentiment or taste but one of physical force which may be measured …Keep that force and you can save the Union. Throw it away and the Union goes with it.†So on September 22 1862 Lincoln issued a Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation declaring that all slaves in states which were still in rebellion on January 1 1863 “shall be then thenceforward and forever free.†This caused a firestorm in the North as while many praised the President opposition was strong and vocal. In the upcoming Congressional elections of 1862 the Democrats fought on a fierce anti-emancipation platform with one delegate at their conference adapting their slogan to read; ‘The Constitution as it is the Union as it was and the Negroes where they are.’ The correspondence of soldiers in the field indicates that quite a number were against emancipation and some threatened to throw down their arms if the war came to be about freeing Negroes rather than saving the Union. The election results in November 1862 seemed to endorse Democratic opposition to emancipation with a net gain for them of 36 Congressional seats; they won other victories too including the governorships of New York and New Jersey. But Lincoln persevered. On January 1 1863 he used his authority as Commander in Chief under the U.S. Constitution to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. He stated the military necessity of his action ordered slaves freed in areas that were in rebellion against the U.S. declared that the military would enforce their freedom and received former slaves into the U.S. military. Upon signing the Proclamation Lincoln affirmed that he had never felt “more certain that I was doing right.†Lincoln needed support now more than ever and it was all the more satisfying if the support was public and helped enlist others to reach similar conclusions. George E. Fawcett was a teacher of instrumental music at Greenwood Academy in Muscatine Iowa. He had published a number of previous musical compositions and he was in the President’s corner. In late 1862 he wrote “The President’s Emancipation March†and dedicated it to Abraham Lincoln. The sheet music was published and disseminated by the well-known Chicago-based music publishing firm Root & Cady which was the most successful music publisher of the Civil War and published many of the war’s most popular songs. The firm’s founders were Chauncey Marvin Cady and E. T. Root whose older brother was George F. Root one of the Civil War’s greatest composers whose his biggest hit was “The Battle Cry of Freedomâ€. The cover of the sheet music for Fawcett’s song was plain with a simple black line border centered on the cover. The title is printed in large black-shaded lettering at a horizontal angle. It contains text that reads: “Dedicated to Abraham Lincoln A foe to Tyrants and My Country's Friend†and above this is a poem stanza attributed to John Greenleaf Whittier. “The President’s Emancipation March†was well-received and being celebratory doubtless assisted in generating support for both Lincoln and emancipation. A copy of the sheet music is in the American Memory section of the Library of Congress. After the January 1 proclamation date Fawcett sent a copy of the march to President Lincoln himself. Lincoln soon responded. Letter Signed on Executive Mansion letterhead Washington January 26 1863 to Fawcett. “Allow me to thank you cordially for your thoughtful courtesy in sending me a copy of your “Emancipation March.†The body of the letter is in the handwriting of Lincoln’s secretary future Secretary of State John Hay. We searched the papers of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum the Abraham Lincoln Papers at the Library of Congress auction records going back four decades and the primary resource in the field Basler’s “Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln.†We discovered that despite the enormity of his issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation following its signing on January 1 1863 Lincoln wrote about or mentioned emancipation by name in just three letters during that month. One written to John A. McClernand on January 8 was an important defense of the proclamation; it sold two decades ago for some $750000 and is now owned by a foundation and on loan to the Library of Congress. The other two letters were references to the proclamation; one was sent to John W. Forney on January 18 and it is in an institution; the other is this letter to George Fawcett. unknown

Lincoln Abraham
President Abraham Lincoln Original Signed Proclamation Conveying the Coveted “Thanks of Congress†to the Commodore Whose Victory in 1861 Led to the First Raising of the U.S. Flag Over a Confederate Fortification in the Civil War
Lincoln lauds Silas Stringham’s "distinguished service in the capture of Forts Hatteras and Clarke.†In early 1861 the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Army General Winfield Scott developed what he called the “Anaconda Plan†which aimed to squeeze the Confederacy by blockading its ports launching amphibious attacks at key points along the Southern coast and seizing control of vital inland waterways such as the Mississippi River. When the Civil War broke out the U.S. government began to implement this plan. In the opening months of the war there was little good news for the North and the public clamor for a victory grew daily. Instead on July 21 1861 the Battle of Bull Run resulted in disaster for Union arms. Frustration built and the U.S. Government became increasingly anxious to show that it had a viable plan and could field forces capable of winning. In this heated atmosphere in July and August the U.S. Navy began to establish the blockade. To complement this effort it determined to launch its first amphibious assault since the Mexican War: an assault on North Carolina’s Outer Banks. This locale was chosen because the Union leadership saw the value of seizing control of the navigable channels into North Carolina sounds as with these under control U.S. forces would be in position to take key points on the Carolina mainland. These coastal strong-points then would serve as bases from which they could push inland to disrupt vital Confederate agricultural supply areas and the rail lines of communication running through the state to the Confederate capital of Richmond. Possession of these waters would also help eliminate the threat to U.S. shipping from rebel privateers – a significant problem that threatened to grow and was already causing disruptions to trade as marine insurance rates in the north sky-rocketed. Hatteras Inlet commanded the entrance to North Carolina’s sounds leading Union commanders to decide to seize its surrounding shoreline first. General Benjamin Butler who previously had commanded the Union garrison at Fort Monroe in Hampton Roads became the landing force commander. Commodore Silas Stringham commander of the Atlantic Blockading Squadron led the supporting naval forces. The task force Stringham commanded was the largest that the U.S. Navy had assembled up to that point in the war. It consisted of three steam frigates three gunboats and a converted sidewheel steamer which all told mounted 149 guns including modern rifled naval guns. Rounding out the task force were two chartered vessels acting as troop transports and a collection of surfboats and auxiliary tugs. The transports and auxiliaries carried a landing force of two New York infantry regiments for a total of slightly more than 900 men. The immediate objective of the operation was the capture of two forts – Clarke and Hatteras – that guarded Hatteras Inlet. These forts comprised a significant part of the Confederacy’s military forces on the Outer Banks. On the morning of August 27 1861 Confederate lookouts at Hatteras lighthouse spotted Commodore Stringham’s ships on the horizon. Soon thereafter the Union warships began bombarding both forts pounding them with a steady stream of accurate fire. With the bombardment complete the Union army troops came ashore. Soon Fort Clarke’s garrison had retreated to Fort Hatteras where the Confederates were reinforced and put up their defense. For a while the advantage shifted to the southerners as bad weather drove Stringham’s ships out of firing range of the forts. But Union naval forces resumed their attack when the weather moderated the next morning and by late morning the battered Southern troops had had enough and Fort Hatteras surrendered. In the end no Union ground attack was needed because of the success of the naval forces under Stringham. In fact not a man on the Union side was killed. How happy was Lincoln to receive the news General Butler in his autobiography described the meeting he and Gustavus Fox Assistant Secretary of the Navy had with Lincoln in the White House to tell him the news. “…The President was called and when our errand was hinted to him he immediately came in his night shirt. Everybody knows how tall Lincoln was and he seemed very much taller in that garment; and Fox was about five feet nothing. In a few hurried words not waiting for any forms or ceremonies Fox communicated the news and then he and Lincoln fell into each other’s arms. That is Fox put his arms around Lincoln about as high as his hips and Lincoln reached down over him so that his arms were pretty near the floor apparently and thus holding each other they flew around the room once or twice and the night shirt was completely agitated.†The victory provided a much-needed boost to northern spirits and enabled the people to see that the Lincoln Administration’s plan to fight the war had substance and could bring victories. As such its political value exceeded its considerable military value. On the military side the Hatteras expedition demonstrated the central importance of naval fire support to amphibious operations. Additionally Stringham innovated by having his ships fire while on the move rather than anchoring and slugging it out with nearby shore batteries as navies had done in the past. This made the defenders’ task more difficult while not affecting the Union warships’ ability to put their ordnance on target. Stringham’s brilliant tactic was used extensively throughout the war by the U.S. Navy especially in taking control of the Mississippi River. Stringham was promoted from Commodore to Real Admiral. On July 11 1862 President Lincoln demonstrating his appreciation of the role Commodore Stringham had played in the struggle for the Union wrote to the legislative branch recommending that he be awarded the coveted Thanks of Congress. “I recommend…Silas H. Stringham now on the retired list for distinguished services in the capture of Forts Hatteras and Clark he specified. The Thanks were voted and approved on February 7 1863. This made Stringham one of just 15 navy officers and 15 army officers ever to receive the Thanks of Congress during the Civil War. However due to administrative delays it was not until later that the paperwork was completed and the naval hero was sent his official appreciation. Just a day before his second inauguration President Lincoln who had initiated the process took upon himself the responsibility of conveying the Thanks along with his own personal sentiments. He did so in this communication Proclamation Signed Executive Mansion March 3 1865 to Rear Admiral Stringham. “It is my duty as it is my sincere pleasure to transmit herewith a copy of the Joint Resolution of Congress approved 7 February 1863 tendering you and the officers its thanks for your distinguished service in the capture of Forts Hatteras and Clarke on the coast of North Carolina.†Interestingly although addressed to the Admiral and thus technically a letter because of its official nature Lincoln treated it as a document and executed it with his full signature. We cannot recall seeing another instance of Lincoln interjecting his own feelings into his wartime correspondence or documents which were almost uniformly impersonal and to the point. But with victory at hand he allowed his exuberance to show. The retained secretarial copy of Admiral Stringham’s response is present and adds his perspective. On March 6 1865 he wrote President Lincoln saying “I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 3rd instant transmitting me a copy of the Joint Resolution of Congress approved 7 February 1863 and to express my appreciation of the honor conferred upon me as well as the pleasure which every officer must feel at the evidence that his efforts are appreciated by his country.†The congressional resolution mentioned in the letter is not present but stated “That the thanks for Congress be and are hereby given to…Rear Admiral Silas Stringham…†unknown

Lincoln Abraham
President Abraham Lincoln Appoints One of the Earliest 49ers and President of “The Society of California Pioneers†to a Senior Treasury Position in San Francisco
William Farwell was a prominent California editor who had campaigned for him in that state In September 1848 the print on the newspapers announcing the discovery of gold in California had barely dried before some enterprising young men began preparing to go there. One ship was chartered by 152 well-educated young men of whom Willard B. Farwell was one who named it after the famous statesman Edward Everett. At that time Everett was president of Harvard college and was a mentor to some of the wayfarers. As a going away gift he presented the company with 300 volumes of the works of major authors. The vessel left Boston January 10 1849 and arrived at San Francisco July 7th. The company brought with it a knock-down steamer hull cabin boilers and engine. A smaller boat was obtained and christened The Pioneer and it would be the first steamer to reach the gold fields themselves. The Pioneer launched on August 12 and five days later wrote Farwell himself the little Pioneer sailed up the Sacramento River reaching its destination early in the morning on August 19th. The miners already on site cheered until they were hoarse and the day was given up to jollification and whisky. Farwell stayed in California and became editor of a popular newspaper that supported the policies of the new Republican Party. Dr. Anson Henry Sen. Edward D. Baker and Abraham Lincoln were friends and prominent Illinois Whig politicos back in Lincoln’s Springfield days. Henry moved there to practice medicine when Lincoln was assistant surveyor of Sangamon County. Henry emigrated to Oregon when he was appointed Indian agent for that territory at the specific suggestion of Lincoln. The two men stayed in contact. In fact states “Mr. Lincoln & Friends†Anson “acted as the Administration’s eyes and ears†on the west coast. President Lincoln appointed him surveyor-general of Washington Territory in 1861. Edward D. Baker moved to California in 1852 and when Henry advised him that he could win the upcoming Senate election there Baker went to Oregon. He was elected and started serving in the U.S. Senate in late 1860. Lincoln was so close to Baker that he named one of his sons after him and was devastated when Baker was killed in action leading a Union regiment at the Battle of Balls Bluff in 1861. Henry and Baker were friends of Farwell who was also Baker’s biographer. One of these men clearly placed Farwell in touch with Lincoln and Farwell became involved in the Lincoln election campaign in California. As the Lincoln Papers in the Library of Congress point out Farwell was in direct communication with Lincoln about events on the West Coast during that campaign. Farwell predicted to Lincoln accurately that he would do well in the Golden State and in December 1860 wrote the President-Elect “I trust the result gave you sincere gratification.†he President-Elect asked Baker to make some recommendations for appointments to be made for posts on the West Coast. On April 3 1861 shortly after Lincoln’s inauguration Baker wrote him a letter on this subject: “I have named Mr Willard B. Farwell for Naval Officer of the port of San Francisco. He has been for four years and upwards the editor of the Daily Alta California the most influential independent public journal in California. In every crisis he has caused it to evince Republican tendencies and has rendered us immense aid and service. He has represented the city of San Francisco in the legislature. He has shown high courage when such a quality was greatly needed. He is a man of character talents and education.†Lincoln concurred. Document signed Washington April 15 1861 appointing Willard B. Farwell as naval officer for the District of San Francisco. The position of naval officer was not a military one; the naval officer was the chief deputy to the Collector of a port a Treasury appointment. Thus this document is also signed by Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase. Lincoln made this appointment during the time when the U.S. Senate was in recess. He reappointed Farwell in July 1861 for the Senate’s confirmation. To illustrate the types of tasks this post involved Farwell went to Europe and the East to ferret out frauds in importations of wines. Later in life Farwell was President of “The Society of California Pioneers.†Document comes matted unknown

Lincoln Abraham
Just a Few Weeks Before the 1860 Election Abraham Lincoln Writes from Springfield Sending His Autograph to a Young Man
Letters of Lincoln so close to the fateful election are not common The Presidential election of 1860 was perhaps the most consequential of American history. Abraham Lincoln defeated Southern Democrat John C. Breckinridge Democrat Stephen A. Douglas and Constitutional Union candidate John Bell. The electoral split between Northern and Southern Democrats was emblematic of the severe sectional split particularly over slavery and in the months following Lincoln’s election and before his inauguration in March 1861 seven Southern states led by South Carolina on Dec. 20 1860 seceded from the Union setting the stage for the Civil War. Willis Ogden was Colonel of the 23rd N.G.N.Y. National Guard of New York. He was an educator a philanthropist and a patriot and for more than fifty years was prominent in Brooklyn financial and civic affairs. He would serve as president of the Board of Trustees of the Brooklyn Academy of Music. In 1860 he was a young attorney. Letter signed Springfield Il October 13 1860 too Willis L. Ogden. “Dear Sir Herewith I send you my autograph which you request. Yours truly A. Lincolnâ€. The text is in the hand of John Nicolay Lincoln’s secretary and biographer unknown

Lincoln Abraham
Lincoln’s Oft-quoted Letter Written Early in the War to his Treasury Secretary Vividly Demonstrating the Emotion and Strong Loyalty of the President
In making anti-slavery Republican Lewis Clephane the Post Master of Washington he disappointed “my old friend Nathan Sargent which wounds him and consequently me very deeply†“There is an office in your department called the ‘Commissioner of Customs… I will be much obliged if you agree for me to appoint Mr. Sargent to this place.†Lewis Clephane was the manager of the “Washington Era†an anti-slavery newspaper courageously operating in the nation’s capital at a time when it was not popular to take that stand there. Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of its contributors. She wrote what became “Uncle Tom’s Cabin†at his request after he asked for a story to serialize in his newspaper. In 1855 he and four other colleagues formed a group called the Republican Association of Washington and sent forth the call for the formation of the Republican Party. The next year he also put forth the call for the first Republican National Convention and served on its executive committee. Clephane campaigned for Lincoln in 1860 and in fact was president of the Washington Wide-Awakes. After Lincoln was elected he changed the name of his paper to the Washington Republican. For his many services and his political strength and support in the capital the new President felt obliged to offer Clephane a federal position in the city and settled on the postmastership. Nathan Sargent was a Whig who had served as sergeant at arms of the House of Representatives during Lincoln’s term in Congress from 1847-9 and was then Register of the U.S. Treasury. The two were friendly at the time and remained so afterwards. In 1859 Sargent wrote Lincoln setting forth his plan to unite the Republicans with old Whigs in the South in opposition to slavery for the 1860 election but while Lincoln appreciated the suggestion and support he realistically told Sargent “If the rotten democracy shall be beaten in 1860 it has to be done by the North; no human invention can deprive them of the South.†Sargent knew Washington and after Lincoln’s election hoped for the postmastership for himself. Lincoln had to make a choice for Postmaster of Washington D.C. and he chose Clephane. But he was unwilling to simply disappoint Sargent and found another position for him of as great or even greater import. And to accomplish the result he sought he wrote to Secretary of the Treasury Salmon Chase. Autograph letter signed Executive Mansion Washington May 10 1861 to Chase requesting Sargent to be given a post in the War Department. “My dear Sir: I have felt myself obliged to refuse the post-office at this place to my old friend Nathan Sargent which wounds him and consequently me very deeply. He now says there is an office in your department called the ‘Commissioner of Customs’ which the incumbent a Mr. Ingham wishes to vacate. I will be much obliged if you agree for me to appoint Mr. Sargent to this place.†Chase’s endorsement on the verso reads “Received May 10 ’61. Desires appointment of Nathan Sargent as Commissioner of Customs.†Chase complied. Sargent served as Commissioner of Customs from 1861-67. After he retired he wrote a book “Public Men & Events from the Commencement of Mr. Monroe’s Administration in 1817 to the Close of Mr. Fillmore’s†unknown

Lincoln Abraham
Lincoln Strikes Back Against the Claim That He Would Intervene to Thwart a Corruption Investigation Defending Himself From the Presidential Aspirations of One of His Team of Rivals
An Important Communication in the Power Struggle Between President Abraham Lincoln and Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase For Control of the Republican Party in 1864 Lincoln defends his integrity to Chase and states that such attacks are against the public interest; He criticizes the performance of Chase’s men in the New York Customs House and seeks to replace them with his own men “This Mr. Bailey as I understand having been summoned as a witness to testify before a committee of the House of Representatives which purposed investigating the affairs of the New-York Custom-House took occasion to call on the Chairman in advance and to endeavor to smother the investigation saying among other things that whatever might be developed the President would take no action…The public interest can not fail to suffer in the hands of this irresponsible and unscrupulous man.†As early as December 1862 Republican leaders met to express dissatisfaction with the Lincoln administration and there was continuing organized criticism over the next year that caused Lincoln much grief. Then in 1864 there was a movement to replace Lincoln at the head of the Republican ticket which became strong enough that Lincoln despaired of his renomination. Lincoln put the blame squarely on Salmon Chase his Secretary of the Treasury whom he said was at the bottom “of all the mischief.†Hiram Barney was a Republican whose wife was the daughter of noted abolitionist Lewis Tappan who played a key role in the defense of the slaves who captured the Amistad. Lincoln was entertained by Barney while visiting New York for his Cooper Union speech in February 1860. After the speech it was Barney who took Lincoln out to dinner at the Athenaeum Club on Fifth Avenue. Barney was a political ally of Salmon P. Chase of Ohio who viewed Barney as his chief New York sponsor. However Barney supported Lincoln at the May 1860 Republican National Convention when he realized that Chase was out of the running for the presidential nomination. After Lincoln was nominated Barney traveled to Springfield to meet with Lincoln and consult regarding potential cabinet appointments. Barney enthusiastically supported the ticket and raised $35000 in New York for the national ticket. This would be the equivalent of over $1000000 today. Newly inaugurated President Lincoln appointed Chase Secretary of the Treasury. The greatest prize within the Treasury Department was the collectorship of the port of New York a place highly paid honorable and through its large number of employees a means of affecting the politics of New York City and State. Lincoln named Barney Collector of the Port of New York. Lincoln later related “You remember that when Hiram Barney was appointed at the beginning of this administration collector of the port of New York everybody supposed that he was Chase’s selection and nobody else’s. Now Barney was as much my choice as he was Chase’s; and when Chase Seward and myself standing round that table Barney’s appointment was decided upon I believe that I was the most gratified person then present.†But in office Barney was was a lightening rod for trouble. He was not politically active enough to suit Chase’s supporters was soon out of favor with the anti-Chase faction in New York that was loyal to William Seward appointed Democrats to posts in his department and was widely and credibly accused of corruption. Barney made noises about resigning but did not. Meanwhile in early 1864 Barney’s enemies spread stories that he was supporting Chase for President and opposing President Lincoln’s reelection. Moreover Lincoln had his eye on the New York customs house because he feared the embarrassing corruption scandals might hurt his chances in New York in the November election. At this time Barney had drifted into the Radical Republican orbit and some radicals sought to replace Lincoln at the top of the ticket with Chase’s at least tacit approval. So there was growing pressure on Lincoln to remove Barney but Chase came to his rescue both for political and personal reasons. On a personal level Barney had quietly and unbeknownst to Lincoln lent Chase a substantial sum of money so Chase was in his debt and Barney managed Chase’s New York real estate. He was too good a friend for Chase to sacrifice. Lincoln wrote Chase rather gently on January 11 1864: “I am receiving letters and dispatches indicating an expectation that Mr. Barney is to leave the Custom House at New York. Have you anything on the subject.†But Chase made Barney’s retention a question of personal honor. In response Chase defended Barney writing Lincoln: “Nothing at all except urgent representatives of the necessity of reform which do not at all impeach Mr. Barney in whose integrity I have undiminished confidence.†Chase also told Lincoln “I am to-day fifty-six years old. I have never consciously and deliberately injured one fellow man. It is too late for me to begin by sacrificing to clamor the reputation of a man whom I have known for more than twenty years and whose repute for honesty has been all that time unsullied. I shall not recommend the removal of Mr. Barney except upon such show of misconduct or incapacity as makes it my duty to do so. In such a case I shall not shrink from my duty.†This did not satisfy Lincoln who was fed up with Chase and his protege Barney. On February 13 1864 the President told Attorney General Edward Bates that he had decided Barney must go. Then he asked Secretary of State William Seward to find a diplomatic post for Barney which he did - the ambassadorship to Portugal. Barney’s position was additionally undermined by the actions of a Chase lieutenant Joshua S. Bailey special agent of the Treasury at New York who was supposed to investigate corruption in Barney’s customs operations but but who threw Lincoln under the bus telling the Congressional committee investigating him that “whatever might be developed the President would take no action.†Furious at the false and slanderous allegation that he tolerated corruption the day before he told Bates that Barney must go Lincoln wrote Chase directly. Autograph letter signed Executive Mansion Washington February 12 1864 to Chase trying to ease Barney out smoothly while . “My dear Sir: I have felt considerable anxiety concerning the Custom House at New-York. Mr. Barney has suffered no abatement of my confidence in his honor and integrity; and yet I am convinced that he has ceased to be master of his position. A man by the name of Bailey whom I am unconscious of ever having seen or even having heard of except in this connection expects to be and even now assumes to be Collector de facto while Mr. Barney remains nominally so. This Mr. Bailey as I understand having been summoned as a witness to testify before a committee of the House of Representatives which purposed investigating the affairs of the New-York Custom-House took occasion to call on the Chairman in advance and to endeavor to smother the investigation saying among other things that whatever might be developed the President would take no action and the committee would thereby be placed unpleasantly. The public interest can not fail to suffer in the hands of this irresponsible and unscrupulous man. I propose sending Mr. Barney Minister to Portugal as evidence of my continued confidence in him; and I further propose appointing ___ Collector of the Customs at New-York. I wrote the draft of this letter two weeks ago but delayed sending it for a reason which I will state when I see you. Yours truly A. Lincoln.†In his original retained draft Lincoln had indicated that he would appoint Preston King a former Republican U.S. Senator from New York who was then practicing law. Apparently Lincoln thought twice about naming specifically naming King or anyone else under the circumstances so left the name blank. And Lincoln was right about Bailey who it turned out was more corrupt than the people he was investigating; Bailey eventually fled to avoid prosecution for embezzlement. Chase replied to this letter the next day and sought to keep Lincoln from acting to replace Barney without his consent. “I was surprised and pained by your letter this morning. Misrepresentations I am sure must have been made to you about the New York Custom House. I regret that I was not earlier consulted in a matter which so deeply concerns this Department & still trust that before you take any definitive action you will confer with me fully on the subject. I shall be ready at any hour which may suit your convenience.†Lincoln later said that Chase had threatened to resign from the Secretaryship of the Treasury if Barney was removed and that he the President gave in once telling a Treasury aide on this subject “Well I backed down again.†Illness now interfered in the communication between Chase and Lincoln on the issue. Lincoln replied on February 13 that “On coming up from the reception I found your note of today. I am unwell even now and shall be worse this afternoon. If you please we will have an interview Monday.†In the midst of this patronage controversy Lincoln learned of the distribution of the “Pomeroy Circular†advocating Chase’s candidacy for President just 10 days after sending this letter. Chase offered to resign on February 22 and on February 29 the President wrote the Treasury Secretary: “Whether you shall remain at the head of the Treasury Department is a question which I will not allow myself to consider from any stand-point other than my judgment of the public service; and in that view I do not perceive occasion for a change.†Lincoln was not yet ready to let go of Chase. Lincoln again unsuccessfully pushed the Treasury Secretary to dismiss Barney on June 6 1864. He paid Chase a visit. The President opened the conversation on the persistent custom-house problem. After he gave his opinion an unfavorable one about Bailey he went on to speak of Barney’s replacement. Chase as usual was well prepared and his tone of voice was self-assured. He denied that Bailey had been so indiscreet to say what he was alleged to have said and he backed this statement up with a detailed account of Bailey’s activities. Chases’s biographer wrote: “This personal conference removed the difficulty for the time being; there is some reason to suppose that Chase again threatened to resign and that the President again gave way. In late June 1864 Chase sought to replace the well-respected John Cisco as Assistant Treasury Secretary for New York with a clearly unqualified candidate of suspect political loyalty. Lincoln fearing an open revolt among Republicans and voters urged Chase to select from among three alternative candidates. Chase rejected them and instead persuaded the incumbent to withdraw his resignation forcing the President’s hand. When Chase sought a meeting with Lincoln he was rebuffed “because the difficulty does not in the main part lie within the range of a conversation between you and me.†On June 29 Chase once again resigned and this time Lincoln accepted. “I thought I could not stand it any longer†the President confided to his secretary John Hay. With Chase gone from the cabinet and the new Treasury Secretary William P. Fessenden not committed to Barney’s retention Lincoln was free to make a change. As Barney explained to Chase the President requested his resignation “as a personal and political favor of great value and importance to him.†In late August Lincoln’s secretary John G. Nicolay was dispatched to New York to make the necessary job shifts. After a conference Barney submitted his resignation. Simeon Draper was named to replace Barney and he was in office until August 1965 when President Andrew Johnson named Preston King to replace him. Barney remained loyal to Chase - serving on a presidential organizing committee in 1868. He was at Chase’s side when he died. Lincoln realized that Chase had a constituency within his own party and rather than let a competent enemy battle with him for years going forward in December 1864 Lincoln kicked Chase upstairs and named him the 6th Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. This removed Chase from politics and at the same time placed a reliable and capable Republican in that office unknown
