He moved three years later to Pawnee City, Nebraska and engaged in trading cattle until his election to the Nebraska Territory Legislature in 1861. He was elected as a state senator in 1863 and won the 1866 election to become Nebraska's first governor. During his second term (1869-70), Butler moved the state's capital from Omaha to present day Lincoln. In the spring of 1871, soon after taking office for his third term, eleven articles of impeachment were brought against him. The first charged him with misuses of some $16,000 from the state school fund. Butler had allegedly made personal use of this money to purchase lots in the new city of Lincoln. He was suspended from office by the Supreme Court and subsequently tried by the State Senate. He was convicted of the first charge, although the remaining ten were dropped. The Supreme Court then removed him from office. In 1877 the Legislature reviewed its action and adopted a resolution expunging the impeachment proceedings from the record. After ten years of retirement from public life, Butler was elected to the Nebraska State Senate on the Independent Ticket in 1882.

Wash., Davis and Force, 1825. 107pp. Contemporary cloth, bookplate removed, small paper label on lower spine. First edition. Shaw 21939, locates 4 copies. Rare and quite important. Porter resigned from the Naval Board in 1823 to become Commander-in-Chief of the West India Squadron then employed in suppressing piracy, a tedious, laborious and dangerous task, which he performed so effectively that when he turned over the squadron to his successor this nefarious practice was nearing its end. In his assiduous search for pirates, one of the officers landed at Fajardo, Puerto Rico, and received ill treatment at the hands of the local authorities. Porter landed a considerable force in retaliation, seized a fort, and demanded and received apologies. For these hostile acts against a friendly power, he was recalled by the Secretary of the Navy and court martial. The court sentenced him to suspension from duty for six months, a rather light punishment, which is softened by adding that it ascribed his conduct to an anxious disposition to maintain the honor of his nation and to advance its interests. This work is his defense. $750.00
