Previously, he had been the attorney general and was the chief counsel to President Andrew Johnson during Johnson's impeachment trial in 1868. Later, he served as the secretary of state under President Hayes and, from 1885 to 1891, he served in the U.S. Senate as a Republican senator from New York.
