Debated Plan to Refund Union and Central Pacific Debt
Washington reports indicate likely passage of bills refunding government debt of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads. The Union Pacific measure mirrors the Outhwaite plan, proposing bonds at 3 percent interest and a fifty year payoff secured by mortgages. Central Pacific issues remain unsettled, with calls for a separate bill and longer repayment prospects.

Embarrassing Dilemma Over Utah Commission Seats
The President faces a clash over Utah’s two Democrats on the commission. General McClernand, a famed Union veteran, is disliked by White House and Republican figures for his independence. Governor West, tied to Cleveland, is seen as unsatisfactory and likely blocked due to past war loyalties. The choice risks a backlash akin to Beverley Tucker’s earlier Haiti appointment.

Recorder Trotter’s Case Drives Resignation Move
The president acted swiftly on Trotter's removal after Senator Dawes's bill to abolish the fee system and fix a salary for the recorder. A morning paper claimed Trotter refused to share revenue figures with District of Columbia committee chair Ingalls. Trotter sent a reply directing inquiry through Secretary Noble. Ingalls secured the data showing revenues of 40,000 dollars in two years and ten months, fueling the push for reform.

It praises Millet's peasant scenes and notes storms, dairies, and farm life artfully rendered with human warmth, while praising Delacroix, Rousseau, and Troyes pieces.
