Caleb J. McNulty
Caleb Jefferson McNulty (1816-1846) (D) was a Democratic Party (United States) politician and a scandalous early 19th century Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives. His alleged embezzlement of U.S. congressional funds “drawn from the Treasury” and his placement of those “large sums … in the hands of sundry persons in the city of New York and the State of Ohio” or what then former U.S. President and sitting U.S. Representative John Quincy Adams (W) referred to as a “… memorable development of Democratic defalcation”〔''Memoirs of John Quincy Adams, his diary from 1795 to 1848'', Charles Francis Adams, ed., Philadelphia, J.B. Lippincott & Co., © 1877, Vol. 12, p. 148 (entry for January 17, 1845)〕 provides a glaring example of the perfidy associated with the U.S. Jacksonian era Democratic Party Spoils system, which was slowly crippled at the federal level, decades later, by the 1883 Pendleton Act and completely dismantled, much later, with the Hatch Act of 1939.
==Background to national scandal==
Of Washington County, Pennsylvania, McNulty removed to Ohio, where he practiced law and became a Democratic Party operative, as a newspaper editor, distinguished political writer and orator, and multiple term Democratic Party member of the Ohio General Assembly. In 1842, he ran in Knox County, Ohio as the Democratic Party candidate for U.S. Congress in the first U.S. congressional elections federally mandated to occur by district and on standardized date. He lost by 12 votes to his opponent Whig Party (United States) candidate Columbus Delano. Just after this defeat and at the very next session of the U.S. Congress where Delano, himself, was first seated, Caleb J. McNulty of Ohio whose party had regained control of the House in the United States House of Representatives elections, 1842 was on December 6, 1843, anyway, elected by the House membership to the position of Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives. He defeated for reelection Matthew St. Clair Clarke of Pennsylvania.〔''History of Washington County, Pennsylvania with biographical sketches of many of its pioneers and prominent men'', Boyd Crumrine, ed., Philadelphia H.L.
