Senate to Consider Notable Appointments in Georgia Districts
The president sent a batch of nominations to the Senate including Felix A Reeves of Tennessee for solicitor of the treasury, Joseph P James district attorney for the northern district of Illinois, and Frank Leverett as marshal for the southern district of Georgia. Postmasters at Newnan, Augusta, Asheville, and Saluda are named, with many office hunters expected to fill remaining ranks. The Senate may also rule on governor vacancies to fill Senate seats, while Spain offers the Santa Maria flagship to the United States for display at Chicago. A Macon report claims Nathan Smith’s confession links the Nancy Hanks wreck to two Black men who planned to rob the dead and bribe Smith to hide it, as fifty to seventy Black men head to Florida for work on a new railroad project.
