Description:
[Washington?, 1876. 8pp, caption title [as issued], printed in double columns, disbound. Good+. A Republican campaign pamphlet praising Reconstruction and denouncing the South's "pernicious heresies," particularly those of Calhoun, Jefferson Davis, Slidell, and Yancey. The Confederate "was indoctrinated with a measure of political poison which the fire of battle intensified and consecrated rather than destroyed." Southerners have never given up "the Lost Cause." To entrust them and their supporters with the reins of government would amount to "compensation for past treason." LCP 7039.

by [Election of 1876]
- Used
1877. A very good copy, faint pencil rule to center.. 3 x 4 3/4 inch card on mustard-colored stock. A rare ticket of admission for the congressional vote counting after the election of 1876. "Counting the Vote for President and Vice-President. Admit Bearer. To Gallery of the House of Representatives." # 732. February 19, 1877. Signed in facsimile by T[homas] W. Ferry, President pro tempore of the Senate, and Sam[uel] J. Randall, Speaker of the House.
The highly disputed election between New York Governor Samuel J. Tilden, who won the popular vote, and led in the electoral count, and Republican nominee, Rutherford B. Hayes, led to a constitutional crisis. On the first count in the electoral college, Tilden had 184 electoral votes, Hayes 165, and 20 votes were disputed. Many of the disputes had to do with certification of the electoral votes. On January 29, 1877, the US Congress passed a law forming a 15 member Electoral Commission to settle the result, which led to the compromise of 1877 in which all 20 disputed votes were awarded to Hayes supposedly in exchange for troops being withdrawn from the South, and thus effectively ending Reconstruction. It should be noted that in the election of 2020 several Republican Senators mistakenly cited the bipartisan Electoral Commission of 1877 as a historical precedent for Congress to appoint an electoral commission to adjudicate the 2020 election despite the fact that there were no states in which the electoral vote was legitimately in dispute. and unlike 2021 there was no violence in the halls of Congress in the 1877.
Cards were issued for various days and in different colors. The Library of Congress has one dated March 2, 1877 in blue.

Description:
[Washington?, 1876. 8pp, caption title [as issued]. Disbound a bit roughly in the blank inner margin. Good+.

In control of the House of Representatives, the Democrats have turned out Union soldiers in droves and have appointed former Confederates to office in their place. Several columns listing names prove the point. OCLC records a number of institutional locations.
