In 1876, Frelinghuysen was appointed to a special committee tasked with examining the [[United States presidential election, 1876|presidential election that year]] between [[Rutherford B. Hayes]] and [[Samuel J. Tilden]], where Hayes won the electoral vote though lost the popular vote.<ref name=obituary/> His name substituted that of Stalwart leader [[Roscoe Conkling]], whose proposed selection for the committee drew fierce opposition. The group ultimately established the [[Compromise of 1877]] which ended Reconstruction and marked the return of the South into the hands of [[Jim Crow]] Democrats.
