Judge Field gave the casting vote against it, and wrote the opinion in burning words by which that infamy and shame were swept away forever from an American State. But we have no space to follow the cases growing out of the war which sprung up in great number and variety : such as cases of pardon and amnesty; cases of the confiscation of property; cases involving the question of the legislative power ot the insurgent States during the war, and the extent to which the Confederate Government shou...ld be regarded as a de facto government. Then came up for review the Reconstruction Acts of Congress, by which the South was divided into military districts, and placed under the government of military offi- cers. To Judge Field all this policy was odious in the extreme. His whole nature revolted against it. It served only to prolong the irrita- tions of the war, and to give up a whole section of the country, which had already been swept with destruction, to the anarchy of misrule. In all these cases he was animated by one controlling desire — to bring back the Government to the rules and methods of peace.
