The Political Equality of the Negro in the Senate
A harsh critique argues that political equality for African Americans in the U.S. Senate and South reflects coercion and party manipulation rather than genuine public support. The piece cites troops, coercion, and misrepresentation in ratifying the Fifteenth Amendment, framing the era as driven by politics not popular will. It also ties the Jackson birthday anniversary to opposition to ratifying the amendment, invoking historical ideals and fear of associating Jackson with the change.

Disparity in Chief Justice honors cited in 19th century note
An 1836 appointment placed Roger B. Taney as Chief Justice, serving until 1865. The piece contrasts Taney’s long service and honored memory with Edwin M. Stanton, an Associate Justice who never served, noting his family’s guaranteed salary and a perceived partisan bias in tribute. It laments the lack of memorials for Taney versus Stanton’s treatment.
