Toombs Attack on Georgia Constitution and Reconstruction

Excerpts from Gen Robert Toombs in the Georgia legislature attack the 1865 constitution as a foe to liberty, condemning Reconstruction, carpetbaggers, scalawags, and bribery to secure votes. He asserts Georgia must abolish the current charter and accuses enemies of moral decay and theft. The piece also notes a Washington telegram on Sitting Bull, rising lynching tide, Ohio Penitentiary reforms, and Democratic Navy talk.

Centennial Exposition items mix art science and satire

The article notes plans for a seven inch centipede display, a Suez Canal model, and a large fish and aeronautics section at Philadelphia's Centennial. It jokes about a King George III statue, Sabbath closures, and a balloted beauty pageant to fund the fair, ending with peach trees in Kentucky in blossom.
