Washington, D.C. 1871. ALS (w. 8 in. x h. 10 in.), 2 pages (one sheet folded once). On Department of Justice letterhead. Ink on laid paper. Moderate handling wear with light age toning. Accompanied by a small card (1.5 × 3 in.), signed in ink: “Edward Pierrepont / May 25, 1876.” Attorney General Amos T. Akerman here appoints the prominent New York lawyer and reformer Edwards Pierrepont (1817–1892) as a special assistant to the U.S. District Attorney for the Southern District of New York. Pierrepont was tasked with aiding in the prosecution of Alderman James Irving, a New York City politician charged with assaulting Deputy U.S. Marshal Dowley in late 1871. The case, widely reported in the press, reflected the tense confrontation between Tammany Hall’s municipal power and federal enforcement officers empowered under the post–Civil War Enforcement Acts. The choice of Pierrepont (already a nationally recognized figure, and later U.S. Attorney General from 1875–76 and Minister to Great Britain) underscored the political sensitivity of prosecuting a sitting alderman associated with the Tammany Machine. The prosecution marked one of the early moments when the federal government, under President Grant, intervened in New York’s volatile political scene during the unraveling of the Tweed Ring. The laid-in card, signed by Pierrepont in 1876 (during his tenure as Attorney General under Grant), offers an association piece linking two Attorney Generals to this tumultuous period of political reform in New York City.
