After retiring from Congress tbis lawyer-politician became presi- dent of the State National Bank in Springfield. This was certainly a distinct recognition of his integrity and standing with the business interests of his home city. Soon we find him again in the Legislature and Speaker of the House. It was while serving in the State Legislature after returning from Congress that Mr. Cullom seemed to get a new inspiration to serve his State and Nation in a bigger and broader way. Illinois had ado...pted a new Constitution in 1870 and it was while Mr. Cullom was Speaker in 1873 and 1874 that a complete revision of the State laws was undertaken, resulting in the publishing of the "Eevised Statutes of the State of Illinois, A. D. 1874." The early 70's witnessed the so-called "Granger Legislation" and the construction of State laws for the control of rail- road transportation. Illinois at that time was in the forefront in rail- road mileage, and naturally the wave of popular sentiment demanding State controland regulatioi^ swept over this State.
