Tariff Commission Hearings on Mississippi River Levees and Sugar Costs
The Mississippi river commission discussed repairing levees below Red River and funding plans, with a push to include levee work as part of river navigation improvements. A separate vote considered diverting funds for outlet closures below Red River, while the tariff commission heard petitions on garden seed duties, caustic soda, salt lardels, asphaltum duties, cork stoppers, and sugar labor costs in Louisiana, noting slave labor comparisons and the flood impact on planters.

Chalmers Rival Hannibal Carter Enters Mississippi Race
In Mississippi's second district the race between administration candidate Chalmers and independent colored Republican Hannibal G. Carter heats up. Carter, a former Grant delegate and state legislator who helped pass civil rights measures, declares a fierce contest, accuses Chalmers’ endorsement of fraud, seeks straightout Republican support, and plans a ratification meeting at Molly Springs. He criticizes the Sardis convention and vows to push a hard, independent campaign.
