!, During the var for ths suppression Of |
the yebeliion. Congress enacted what was
known - the ConseFiption lsw. wherein |
Il Was provided that Provost Marshall |
should be appointed in every Congress
ional district ID the United States Mr..
Julian was then in Congress ana con-
trollsd the appointments for the Burnt |
District. A number Of applieaticas wsre
made, but he gave IL to Hajos I1oae
Kinley, his cousin.
During Mr.. Lincolnis administratisn,
Judge White Of the United States Dis
,trict Court Tor Indiaaa, died. Mr.. Julian /
appeared st the Executive Mansion and
his brothsrs Jacob B, Ju-
,liap, and used all means ID his power 10
procure his appointment to the vacant
Judge ship. He failed, however, and
IJadge Mcdonald WA appointed.
6:. Julian has another brother that
hears the Israslitish nams Of Isaac, who
formerly published : Republican paper
In the city Of Riehmond. but . 4 prss-
snt publishing Ds1Socs6sse shsst II sths
same place. He was for long time
resident Of Centerville. in this county.
He WAS, during Mr.. L;neoln's FIRST ad-
ministration, appoisted Postmaster at
that place. Some time before the elec-
ton Of Gen. Grant this younger bro
ther," becoming dissatisfied with this
latter place, tore hiuself from his friends,
journeyed East, aud located in Rich
mond. When the younger brother re-
signed his position o. Postmaster 1t
Centerv;lle, Geo. w. Julian appointed
his own sisterin lsw in his place. This
movement on the part Of Isaac Julian
WAS soon explained. A Mr.. jones, true
and tried Republicsn, had been by Prcsi-
dent ] ohnson appointed Postmaster in
the city Of Richmond. He had in his
time committed the unpardonable sin of
opposing Mr.. Julian ct the primary
elections for Congress. As soon as Gen
Grant was elected il bseams known that
Mr.. Jones would b. removed, as Mr..
Julian WAS in Congress from this dis-
trict. Petitions were circulated and old
citizens Of respectahihty ard influence
were recommended. Mr.. Jones was
removed, and over the well-known
wishes Of the people Of Richmond sthe
appointment was given to Isaac Julian,
the Centerville "crpet>bagger." So
grateful was the younger brother for
this preferment that - soon as he was
fairly installed, he, IN "a issue Of his
paper, the Radical, (thsn Republican,, /,
on the 10Th day Of September, 1870,
hoisted the name Of Ulysses s. Grant
for President of the United States in
1872, saying editorially
"We make the above announcement
not to attract special notice, OF to indi-
cate extra oficiousness, bat because Il
expresses our most decided preference
and We don't see why We should roi
say so. Our country can't afford to dis
pense with the services - chief execu-
/ tive for another term Of our great cap
tain-a true, Independent, honest man.
To this every true, independent
honest" Republican says amen, but Mr.
i Julian P. NJ, (Which was postmaster,
has hauled down his colors. For reasons
that were satisfactory to the Depart
mont and 10 the friends Of the Admin
istration, Mr.: Julian was removed, and
now he is seen about the streets Of Rich
mond with frightfal sore upon hi
head, shrieking for Greeley and fight
ing the common foe"
At the beginning Of Mr.. Julisns las
term in Congress, soldiers widow bel,
