Thomas, Jr. was the foremost Republican of the South. He presided over the National Convention at Philadelphia that nominated President U.S. Grant for his 2nd term.
In the spring of 1871, Thomas was appointed as Minister to Peru. The climate there was so irrating to his health that he had to resign and return to the U.S.
He was appointed by Governor Caldwell as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of North Carolina and the following spring was appointed by President Grant, Judge of the Northern District of Florida, to which he served from late January 1877 until his death. He joined Grant on his tour through the South.
While Judge Settle was in the North Carolina Legislature, he had a bridge built across the Dan River on the Reidsville Road by Mulberry Island Farm. The Ku Klux Klan complained that it was an excessive expense. Some of their members planned a raid to intercept Judge Settle on his way home from Raleigh by Reidsville. He was to be tied to the bridge and the bridge was to be burned.
Luckily, the Judge spent the night in Reidsville!
