Appointment of Gov Chase as Chief Justice Confirmed
A special Cincinnati Gazette correspondent reports that President Lincoln himself drafted the Chase appointment and sent it to the Senate in his own handwriting. The first to know were Senator Sherman and Judge McCulloch, Comptroller of the Currency. The Senate confirmed unanimously, with no committee reference. Lincoln faced pressure from friends and enemies, delaying the decision. A notable coincidence is that Lincoln’s rival for the presidency would swear him in for a second term.
