Appalling fatality among House officials in 1876
Special Correspondence from Washington reports a surge of casualties among subordinate House officials during the session. It notes the resignation pressure on doorkeeper Fitzhugh amid political conflict, the House’s handling of rebel war claims, ongoing investigations into the Congressional Printer, and looming debates over appropriation bills and diplomacy. The piece also touches on the Belknap trial, the slander apparatus revival, and various regional notes from Ohio communities.
