Judge Emmons of Memphis surveys the Seward construction of Constitutional Amendments and argues that thir teenth and fourteenth amendments do not authorize federal regulation of social rights. He contends only civil actions and due process limits apply, while urging state protection and highlighting outrages against African Americans. The piece critiques Civil Rights bills and cites Seward’s letters supporting a restrained federal role.
The Supreme Court declares that the fourteenth amendment does not grant women the right to vote in Missouri. It notes that citizenship existed before the amendment, that the right of suffrage is not a stated citizen right, and that state constitutions remain the basis for voting rights. The decision emphasizes that federal guarantees protect existing rights rather than add new ones. The opinion, delivered by the Chief Justice, discusses citizenship, state sovereignty, and the limits of federal power.
Agricultural society leaders contemplate prizes from the Anderson Association to stimulate fair attendance and competition. In the field department best yields of cereals and cotton will win publications for farmers, replacing silver spoons with knowledge and practical science to improve productivity. A stove prize for the best unmarried young woman’s dinner also sparks engagement, while a health warning story concludes with medical anecdotes on peptic distress and home remedies.
The document catalogues a hardline Republican program accusing critics and opponents of treason, endorsing a third term, centralized power, military strength, extensive subsidies, and harsh press measures. It denounces carpetbaggers, calls for long term presidential perks, and mocks reform efforts while praising expansion of government and patronage. The piece quotes Chicago Tribune commentary and critiques Calphurnia and Caesar myths as a vehicle for political satire.
In Cairo Bulletin a local elder links recent extreme cold to a supposed comet scent and a distant Earthquake, claiming the era’s chill was caused by the space omen and the Earth’s reaction, describing the strange chain of events as shared memory. The exchange shows folk reasoning connecting celestial happenings with weather.
