George Henry Williams was an American judge and politician. He served as chief justice of the Oregon Supreme Court,was the 32nd Attorney General of the United States,and was elected Oregon's U.S. senator,and served one term. Williams,as U.S. senator,authored and supported legislation that allowed the U.S. military to be deployed in Reconstruction of the southern states to allow for an orderly process of re-admittance into the United States. Williams was the first presidential Cabinet member to be appointed from the Pacific Coast. As attorney general under President Ulysses S. Grant,Williams continued the prosecutions that shut down the Ku Klux Klan. He had to contend with controversial election disputes in Reconstructed southern states. President Grant and Williams legally recognized P. B. S. Pinchback as the first African American state governor. Williams ruled that the Virginius,a gun-running ship delivering men and munitions to Cuban revolutionaries,which was captured by Spain during the Virginius Affair,did not have the right to bear the U.S. flag. However,he also argued that Spain did not have the right to execute American crew members. Nominated for Supreme Court Chief Justice by President Grant,Williams failed to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate primarily due to Williams's opposition to U.S. Attorney A. C. Gibbs,his former law partner,who refused to stop investigating Republican fraud in the special congressional election that resulted in a victory for Democrat James Nesmith.
