The People of the State of Illinois on the relations of Harless vs Richard Yates Governor and Francis A. Hoffman Lieut Governor of the State of Illinois Nov. term of Supreme Court A.D. 1863 The well known case of Marbury vs Madison 1 branch 137 in 1 Condensed Reports U.S. Supreme Court pages 276 279, 280 decided Feb. term 1803 settled the law under the Constitution of the United States that a mandamus would not be against the Executive branch of the National Government, nor even against a Secretary of State of the United States, the appointee and one of the advisers of the President, where the Secretary's acts were “political” and within the scope of executive functions and were not strictly ministerial. The same rule clearly <hr /> applies so far as the Executive branch of the Government of Illinois is concerned The Governor as the Executive is not subject to mandamus from the Courts. The Lieut. Governor occupies a double relation to the State both Executive (at times) and Legislative when Presiding over the senate. He is not subject to a Mandamus in either capacity. The case of The People ex re Billings vs Bissell Governor 19 Illinois, 229 to 234 decides with much ability that the court has no power to compel the action of co-ordinate brances of Government though it is said that as in the case The People ex re vs Matteson 17 Ills. 167 the excutive might make an agreed case and submit it to Supreme Court, but that the <hr /> court claims no right to exercise coercive jurisdiction over the executive. My opinion is that it is not the duty of Governor Yates nor of Lt Governor Hoffman to appear voluntarily on notice such as has been served. Should the court improvidently issue an alternative writ of mandamus, answer should be made merely however as a matter of respect to the court that the court had no power over either the Governor or Lieut. Governor by compulsory writ. Springfield Ills. 11 Nov. 1863 Very Respectfully Jackson Grimshaw To His Excellency Governor Richard Yates. <hr /> G.

The People of the State of Illinois on the relation of Harless vs Richard Yates Governor and Francis A. Hoffman Lieut Governor of the State of Illinois Nov. term of Supreme Court A.D. 1863 The well known case of Marbury vs Madison 1 branch 137 in 1 Condensed Reports U.S. Supreme Court pages 276 279, 280 decided Feb. term 1803 settled the law under the Constitution of the United States that a mandamus would not be against the Executive branch of the National Government, nor even against a Secretary of State of the United States, the appointee and one of the advisers of the President, where the Secretary's acts were “political” and within the scope of executive functions and were not strictly ministerial. The same rule clearly <hr /> applies so far as the Executive branch of the Government of Illinois is concerned The Governor as the Executive is not subject to mandamus from the Courts. The Lieut. Governor occupies a double relation to the State both Executive (at times) and Legislative when Presiding over the senate. He is not subject to a Mandamus in either capacity. The case of The People ex re Billings vs Bissell Governor 19 Illinois, 229 to 234 decides with much ability that the court has no power to compel the action of co-ordinate brances of Government though it is said that as in the case The People ex re vs Matteson 17 Ills. 167 the excutive might make an agreed case and submit it to Supreme Court, but that the <hr /> court claims no right to exercise coercive jurisdiction over the executive. My opinion is that it is not the duty of Governor Yates nor of Lt Governor Hoffman to appear voluntarily on notice such as has been served. Should the court improvidently issue an alternative writ of mandamus, answer should be made merely however as a matter of respect to the court that the court had no power over either the Governor or Lieut. Governor by compulsory writ. Springfield Ills. 11 Nov. 1863 Very Respectfully Jackson Grimshaw To His Excellency Governor Richard Yates. <hr /> G.

Hatch Sec. of State of Illinois Springfield Illinois Gentlemen: This will be handed you by Major Robert W. McClaughry 118th Regt Ills. Vols. Infantry I wish to ask you your cordial recommendation of what he wishes. Major McC. in 1862 was the editor of a Douglas Democratic paper in Hancock Co. He aided the government in raising men for Regt after Regt. and finally abandoned his business and raised a company for 188th. He has in <hr /> curred the ill will of many of his old political friends. He is a man of fine attainments in business, honest, and trustworthy and has been a brave soldier in the field. He has to some extent [injoined?] his health so as to render it hard for him to do field duty, tho he intends to try it. He wishes however a transfer from the line into the Pay Department, and he possesses both integrity & capacity to fill the position of Asst Paymaster of Vols. Will you be <hr /> kind enough to join me in a recommendation that Major McClaughry be transferred to the pay department. I know that he prefers service in the line but I doubt whether he can do the duties of Major in the field for a great length of time Yours Respectfully Jackson Grimshaw P.S. I have for a number of years known Major McClaughry though not enough to be seen to be personally acquainted with him but I know his [illegible] and his character for integrity & business [illegible] wherever he is well known, and I join <hr /> [illegible] in the foregoing request of Col. Grimshaw beleiving it to be an act of justice to Major McClaughry under the circumstances of his past military services & [shattered?] health & for the benefit of the public service N. Bushnell <hr /> G. Grimshaw, Jackson Bushnell N. Quincy Ills. Novr 12th 1863 To Governor, Auditor, Sec of State, &c. Recommend in high terms Major R W McClaughry 188th Ills Vols as worthy & meritorious applicant for appt as Pay Master in the Army. -- Presented by Maj McC. and gave letter Govr Auditor & Sec of State & Jno W Bunn Nov 25 '63 Loomis A.D.C O Ex Nov 23 1863 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
