The Star Of The North (Bloomsburg, Pa.): July 29, 1857 July 29, 1857
A Negro Appointed to Office
Governor Bachford, of Wisconsin, of course a Black Republican, on the 9th inst.,
issued a commission, as Notary Public to H. Nolan, a person of nut-brown complexion
and negro extraction, who has resided at Madison, Wisconsin, many years as barber,
ice cream saloon keeper, and leader of a cotilion band. He also invented the
''capitaluvium" and "tricopherous," two varieties of "dog waters" in general use and
circulation for the hair. The commission is issued with all the proper formalities,
and the bond required by law is signed by Wm. H. Nolan and Wm. B. Jarvis as
bondsmen. But the Secretary of State, Col. Jones, refuses to file the bond, and on
it has put the following endorsement: "This appointment is in violation of the
constitution, and therefore void."
