  James G. Blaine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blaine was elected as a Republican to the Thirty-eighth Congress and to the six succeeding U.S. Congress and served from March 4, 1863, to July 10, 1876, when he resigned.
He was the first in Congress to oppose the claim, which gained momentary and widespread favour in 1867, that the public debt, pledged in coin, should be paid in greenbacks.
In order to promote the friendly understanding and co-operation of the nations on the American continents he projected a Pan-American Congress, which, after being arranged for and led by Blaine as its first president, was frustrated by his retirement.

 James G. Blaine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Blaine was elected as a Republican to the 38th Congress and to the six succeeding Congresses and served from March 4, 1863, to July 10, 1876, when he resigned.
In 1875, to promote the separation of church and state, Blaine proposed a constitutional amendment that would prohibit the use of public funds for any religious purpose.
During this period he tried again for a Presidential nomination: The Republican national convention of 1880, divided between the two nearly equal forces of Blaine and General Ulysses Grant—John Sherman of Ohio also having a considerable following—struggled through 36 ballots, when the friends of Blaine, combining with those of Sherman, succeeded in nominating James Garfield.

 Center for Legislative Archives - Guide to House Records: Chapter 8
Until the 10th Congress (1807-09) specific matters relating to the District of Columbia either were handled in the House of Representatives by select committees or were referred directly to the Committee of the Whole House.
For the 42d Congress (1871-73) there are occasional annotations, with dates, such as "reported favorably and bill signed" or "reported adversely"; only rarely is there anything in the remarks column identifying the Member of the subcommittee to whom a particular measure was referred.
Through the 61st Congress (1909-11) the docket format continues to be a single chronological listing of entries with information on the date of introduction, the name of the Representative who presented the measure, the subject matter, and remarks.

 The Coming Battle, Chapter 4
through Congress, it must be borne in mind that the various committees of the Senate and House of Representatives have immense power to control the passage of laws.
A measure is introduced into either branch of Congress, it is referred to the appropriate committee which takes charge of the bill, considers it in all its phases, and makes a report for or against its passage.
Therefore, it is the various committees of Congress which exert a powerful influence upon the fate of bills, as such reports are generally taken to be absolutely true by the members of that body.

Her connections in Congress and at the State Department, as well as her effective lobbying skills, meant that Lockwood was a major asset to the movement, able to obtain valuable information from and put pressure on the U.S. government to forge arbitration agreements with England and France.
Though Congress paid little attention to her proposals on international arbitration, Lockwood was able to share and develop her ideas with like-minded individuals in the international diplomatic realm, including presenting a speech and paper on arbitration in French at the Paris meeting.
