The Journal of Charles Rawn
January 1, 1835 to December 31, 1835 (Books 6-7)

Edited by Joseph T. Planté

Rawn as a Member of the Community

Charles Rawn was a progressive citizen in the Harrisburg community. He was a participant in the founding of the Harrisburg Benevolent Association, a society charged with the "relief of the poor."¹ He also gave freely of his time and money to other local charities, the key word being local. For example, on February 18, Rawn arranged for the funeral costs of his valet, Jacob Walters. It would seem that Walter’s family was without means, and rather than see a trusted employee interred in a potter’s field, Rawn picked up the tab. On the same date, however, a missionary from India, Reverend Grant, was denied any assistance from Rawn. He wrote of a "long & ridiculous story. . . . of course he’s begging money."² It appears Rawn was prepared to help only those that he came regularly into direct contact with.

Rawn was a member of the Harrisburg Debating Club.³ In their meetings he often spoke out on topics such as the abolition of slavery and the temperance movement. He was an officer in the local militia "The Harrisburg Greys"⁴ as well as a member of the Masons and frequent contributor to William’s Masonic Hall, at the corner of 3^rd and Walnut streets.

In the years that he was a resident of Harrisburg, Rawn became an insider in local and even national politics. On his February trip to Washington, Rawn met Senators Henry Clay, Daniel Webster and John Calhoun, as well as Pennsylvania Senator– and later U.S. President– James Buchanan. He was also introduced to various members of the U.S. House of Representatives and even chatted with President Martin Van Buren over a glass of wine.⁵ Later he would meet former President James Madison, in Harrisburg.⁶

On the local level, Rawn counted some of the highest officials in Pennsylvania as friends. His friend and mentor, Francis Shunk, went on to become Governor of Pennsylvania. Many of his acquaintances were members of either the Pennsylvania House of Representatives or the Senate, and one in his close circle of friends was George Wolf, then the Governor of Pennsylvania.

During 1835, Wolf was running for re-election against an "Anti-Masonic"⁷ candidate by the name of Joseph Ritner. Rawn took part in, and gave speeches at conventions at Wilson’s Hotel on March 6^th, at Owen McCabe’s on June 15^th, at DeWitt’s church on July 4^th , and at Brady’s Tavern on September 19^th. ⁸ Alas, Wolf lost. But even though Ritner won the seat, Rawn still exercised a measure of influence as can be seen by his encouragement of a "midnight judge" appointment on October 20^th, by Wolf.⁹ After Ritner was sworn in, Rawn acted on behalf of two individuals seeking public office, on December 18^th.¹⁰ He does not mention whether he met with success.

During the election, Rawn made a series of wagers on the outcome.¹¹ According to Ann Fabian, author of Card Sharps and Bucket Shops, "George Combe, the English phrenologist who visited the United States in the late 1830s, marveled at the American passion for wagering on elections and warned that ‘ a people is preparing for despotism when it turns the elective franchise of its highest offices into a mere subject of pecuniary speculation’."¹² Unfortunately for Rawn, his "pecuniary speculation" was in error.

Gambling was not his only contradiction in personality. Rawn was a member of a local temperance society, and yet he frequently drank. He was an early proponent of the emancipation of slaves and often took African-American clients. In 1835, one of his most frequently mentioned clients, Lydia McClintock, was an African-American female. Though history shows that Rawn was outwardly anti-slavery, one entry in his journal is puzzling. On June 15^th, Rawn writes about a barn on the lower end of town that burned down. His says it "was probably set on fire by Negroes."¹³ One wonders if there was any indication to suggest this, such as an arrest being made or an eye witness. He made no further mention of the issue after this date.

Rawn was a stock holder in The Harrisburg Water Company,¹⁴ was published in several newspapers¹⁵ and attended and spoke at the many funerals of friends and their relatives. Rawn also acted as a trusted confidant in the "Grimshaw affair." On July 9^th, Rawn was visiting a Mrs. Newbold, in Philadelphia. She had two letters to deliver to the Grimshaw daughters and they "talked about the violence of treatment from Mr. Grimshaw to his daughter lately which became Public in Harrisburg."¹⁶ What "violence" meant is never elaborated on by Rawn. It may have been a beating or some sort of other abuse. Throughout the course of the year, entries list one or more of the Grimshaw daughters spending a lot of time with the Rawns. As an example, on November 18^th and 19^th, Harriet Grimshaw ate dinner with the Rawns and was walked home by Rawn late in the evening.¹⁷

Finally, it is interesting to note that Rawn was given a trunk which contained, in cash, $6000 of John Forester & Company’s deposits.¹⁸ Rawn was directed to take this trunk, by train, to the Western Bank of Philadelphia. Clearly, this shows his reputation for honesty.

On a personal level, Rawn’s 1835 journal has six cases in which he made a joke or wrote with a certain amount of humor. One of the funniest – and bawdiest– examples of humor was his recollection of a newlywed couple’s churchgoing activities. "A. O. Hiester & his bride were at church only four times today– How kind of the bride to bury her blushes of a superabundant kind to gratify the curious by showing herself to them"!¹⁹

The Journal also reveals a few cases in which Rawn’s ego or temper got the better of him²⁰ as well as several cases were he acts somewhat flirtatiously toward other women.²¹ Aside from these slight blemishes on his character, Rawn figures as a friendly, sober, hard working and trusted citizen of Harrisburg.

The Practice of Law Circa 1830

[Go to top of page]

Lawrence Friedman defines a nineteenth-century lawyer as "a man with legal training, or some legal training and some legal skill."²² Most lawyers of the era either read the law– a sort of private at-home study– or apprenticed to a lawyer. This was a relationship that benefited both lawyer and student. The student would, over time, pick up the rudiments of his craft, while the mentor/lawyer would get a copyist and a runner.²³ As previously mentioned, Rawn studied in the law office of his cousin, Francis Shunk. The methodical approach to law– in a structured law school– was introduced to post-Civil War America by Dean Langdell at Harvard Law School. By then Rawn was dead.²⁴

For the lawyer of the 1830s, the practice of law was something akin to building a house. There were many ways to do it, but depending on where you lived, the styles were radically different. The foundation was laid with a combination of Roman legal codification followed by English common law.

By 1830, America had accumulated a substantial amount of case law so that lawyers no longer had to rely solely on a European tradition. However, what America had in numbers of cases tried and decisions handed down, the judiciary lost in uniformity. American common law was "supposed to rest on the community’s moral consensus, as it percolated through the collective mind of the judges."²⁵ As such, the prosecution of crime– even the definition of what a crime was– was subject to judicial interpretation at the local level. This was an attempt by the early Republic to stave off the power of a centralized authority. What it created was a chaos in which laws –slavery for example– would exist and be adjudicated in one area of the state or country, but be totally disregarded in another. The creation of the modern forms of law, jurisdiction (both state and federal), and a quasi-standardized form of legal/judicial procedure (initially a holdover from England) followed the upheaval of the Civil War.

The lack of codification also allowed the judiciary to wield unimaginable power. Most cases, both civil and criminal, were tried without the benefit of a jury. Thus, in deciding the cases, "judges. . . rarely, if ever, bothered with the facts of the cases they cited or with the reasons why the cases had been decided as they had been."²⁶ It was thought "unjudicial" to have to explain why. In a very real sense, they set policy– if not enact law– from the bench. One can see why Rawn kept in good social favor with the local judiciary.

Many of Rawn’s contemporaries held occupations outside the practice of law. His friend James Peacock, for example, was a postmaster and ran a reading room in addition to practicing law. Whether this was out of necessity or as a way to fill time is a matter of debate. Grant Gilmore, in The Ages of American Law, contends that "the American people . . . throughout most of our history [have] distrusted lawyers,"²⁷ and therefore the addition of another occupation often elevated the feeling of distance between client and litigator. They also seem to have practiced a myriad of different disciplines within the law, becoming active generalists, something the modern attorney could never hope to be.

Rawn's Practice

[Go to top of page]

The Biographical Encyclopedia of Dauphin County portrays Rawn as "one of the leading criminal lawyers at the Dauphin county bar."²⁸ In fact, there were few aspects of the practice of law which Rawn did not venture into. Granted, within his 1835 journal, Rawn makes several references to the trying of criminal cases. What is most interesting, however, is that Rawn was trying some cases as the Deputy District Attorney for Dauphin county as well as acting for the defense in others, within the same court and, ostensibly, doing both within the same court session.²⁹ This was a fairly common occurrence nation-wide. The idea of a conflict of interest must have been foreign to him. This conflict can be clearly seen in the following two trials.

On August 17^th, Rawn writes, "I tried 5 or six prisoners today."³⁰ From this, we gather that he was working in the capacity of Deputy District Attorney. Prior to this, on February 10^th, Rawn petitions "Reah Frazer Esqr. Dep of Atty Gen. city per our suit for prisoner by name of Williams in the Jail."³¹ Here, he is clearly acting for the defense, petitioning a colleague that he must have worked closely with, in a court where he acts as prosecutor. This close interaction and "passing of professional hats" between colleagues must have put questions into the minds of those being tried. If it had not, laws against conflict of interest would not have been enacted.

In the course of the average day at the office, Rawn answered no less than two pieces of correspondence, and often many more. On September 8^th for example, Rawn worked through eight letters and filed a bond in the Dauphin Common Pleas court.³² One of those eight letters came from Mrs. Lydia McClintock, of Philadelphia.

On July 11^th, during a business trip to Philadelphia, Rawn was introduced to McClintock by his mother.³³ In seems that she had a piece of property in Harrisburg (as well as one in Philadelphia and another in Lancaster), on which the tenant was delinquent in paying rent. He immediately took her on as a client. Over the course of five months, Rawn was able to claim her rents, as well as act as her attorney on other matters. This highly successful woman was one of many African-American clients that Rawn would represent.

It is interesting to ponder how enlightened his family must have been. Prior to moving to Thornbury, Pennsylvania, they were residents of Stauton, Virginia, a slave state.³⁴ Though Virginia was never as energetically pro-slavery as the deep south, the Rawns had to have come into contact with slaves and slave owners. With this racial prejudice surrounding the Rawns, it is amazing that they managed to come away unsullied by it. Indeed, he spent his life working for the abolition of slavery.

Rawn also acted as an executor of wills and a real estate attorney and on many occasions he played various roles in arbitrations.³⁵ All told, he mentions more than one hundred cases in which he played a direct part, as well as making appearances in the Dauphin Common Pleas, Pennsylvania Supreme and Orphan courts.

Editorial Notes

[Go to top of page]

The following 219 pages are the sum of the transcription of Rawn’s 1835 journal, contained in volumes six and seven of the series. Throughout the transcription process, I have tried to remain faithful to his writing. The sentence structure– or lack thereof– was initially a bit of a hindrance, as was his penmanship. There were occasions when his words were utterly indecipherable. In these instances I placed a [?] for each word. My only other inclusion was printing the day and date– such as [Monday, January 1, 1835]– after Rawn’s number system. In all other cases, I reproduced his entries as closely as possible.

His normal entry started with a day of the month followed by the day of the week: such as 3-1, signifying the third day of the month (3), and Sunday (1) the first day of the week. Following this would be a few words on the general weather in whatever town he was in, and then his actions of the day. These entries were obviously made after the fact, perhaps prior to bed. The length of entry as well as the penmanship must have a correlation with how tired he was when he wrote it.

He often used punctuation and capital letters within sentences, but not always in the standard form. For example, he occasionally used a line to separate sentences or used no punctuation at all. Since his time was a factor, and he knew who or what he was talking about, abbreviations for words and phrases were liberally used. Further, he underlined words to show emphasis. These may take the form of people’s names, places, humorous occasions or amounts of money.

Finally, all misspellings, repetition of words, and, on one occasion, the misrepresentation of dates, were all faithfully reproduced in my transcription.
