Senate tariff vote and census notes from Washington
The Senate passed the tariff bill by party lines after six hours of debate, with a key pair issue and an anticipated adjournment next week. Census figures show population changes across South Carolina districts with Edgefield highest in growth and Richland leading gains. Reed returned to Washington to a warm reception, while House proceedings froze amid filibuster tactics and contested elections. Burrows overruled a Reed precedent on reading unvoted names, stirring Democratic objections. An apportionment bill proposes one representative per 180,000 people, shifting seats among several states including gains for Alabama California and Texas, while Ohio and Virginia lose seats.

A Selma Matrimonial Sensation Unveiled in Alabama
A Selma man James Dogar reportedly married four times, with a second wife dying of smallpox and a Birmingham divorce later invalidated due to a living spouse. His present wife pursued a divorce as rumors spread, and Dogar claimed a Birmingham marriage was invalid, prompting explanations. In a separate Bee Tree Creek report, locals near the Sewanee river describe recurring smoke from seven Blue Ridge peaks with a strong odor, prompting calls for geologists to investigate possible seismic activity tied to Charleston’s earthquakes.
