Tuesday, 30 May 1865
Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court John Catron passed away in Nashville, Tennessee, at age 79. After his death, Congress eliminated his seat from the Court under the Judicial Circuits Act as a way of preventing President Andrew Johnson from appointing any justices to the Supreme Court.
The first storm of the 1865 Hurricane Season, a tropical gale in the Caribbean Sea, wrecked the Golden Rule. After the tempest subsided, the crew sailed to a deserted island where they were rescued by two United States ships 10 days later.
Under orders, the Federal 4th Army Corps is transferred from the Department of the Cumberland to the newly created Military Division of the Southwest.
The Congressional Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War concludes that the Union massacre of Native Americans at Sand Creek last November was "...the scene of murder and barbarity." The conduct of Colonel John M. Chivington disgraced "...the veriest savage..." and Colorado Territorial Governor John Evans’ testimony consisted of "...prevarications and shuffling." President Johnson demanded and received Evans’ resignation.
