John M. Schofield, Forty-six years in the Army, Chapter XXI (search)
having resulted in an irrepressible conflict between him and Congress, finally culminating in his impeachment, the reconstruction of the States lately in insurrection was undertaken by Congress. First an act dated March 2, 1867, was passed for the military government of the rebel States, and then another act, dated March 23, 1867, prescribing the conditions of organization of State governments preparatory to restoration to the Union; the last-named act was supplemented by the act dated July 19, 1867. All of these acts were passed over the President's veto. They provided for the assignment of military commanders in the several districts, with nearly absolute powers to govern those States and direct the steps in the process of reconstruction. It fell to my lot to command the First Military District, into which Virginia was converted by the act of Congress. The terrible oppression of the Southern people embodied in those acts of Congress has hardly been appreciated by even the m

rally (Ms. Paris, Aug. 20, 1867, W. L. G. to Samuel May, Jr.). Mr. Garrison did not know that Mrs. Nichol had quietly suggested the propriety of thus honoring him to the Lord Provost. His speech of acceptance was the best of all he delivered in Great Britain, at least so far as pertains to the form, since he could do no less than prepare it carefully in advance of the ceremony. In Glasgow he had to encounter two demonstrations— a public breakfast, initiated by the Smeals and Patons July 19, 1867. and their anti-slavery associates, and an evening meeting —at each of which a fervid and impressive address, handsomely engrossed, was presented to him. Elsewhere, Sir, said the venerable Dr. William Anderson, in reading that at the breakfast, you have repeatedly said, in reply to the commendations of friends, that you have only done your duty; but you cannot surely have signified, in saying so, that you protested against their laudations. Why, Sir, it is precisely because you

uoted above will leave the 5th Military District without a commander of the rank required by law during the period necessary to effect the contemplated change of commanders. In fact, it orders General Sheridan to turn over his command to an officer absolutely incompetent by law to fill it. I assume that you will change this part of your instructions so as to admit of General Sheridan remaining where he now is until relieved by an officer of the requisite rank. The Act of Congress of July 19, 1867, throws much of the responsibility of executing faithfully the reconstruction laws of Congress on the General of the Army. I am bound by the responsibility thus imposed on me. I approve all General Sheridan's orders to this date, and therefore must insist on instructing his successor to carry out those orders so far as I am authorized to do so by Acts of Congress. Having the responsibility placed on me that I have in regard to the execution of the laws of Congress in the districts co
