Harvard Board Overseers Election Bill and Empire Outlook
Boston Post notes in May 1864 that a state senate bill changes Harvard Overseers elections to alumni and that judges of probate salaries may be altered. It reports on railway bills, a commission to investigate street railways, and a proposed mutual fire insurance fund. It discusses Worcester and Western Railroads consolidation, naming critics and praising the vote margin. It profiles Mr McGee, his influence in Canada, and cautions about Fenian patronage.

Hopkins argues trade tides favor Boston over New York
In a State House address Mr Hopkins rebutted the claim that Boston is 50 miles farther from the West than New York. He noted Boston is over 200 miles nearer Liverpool, enough to shift Western trade interest. He cited a State Street figure on consolidation prompting a large early subscription for the American Steamship Company.

It notes the Duke of Orleans era, the Count de Paris, and the aim to educate for practical life, alongside lengthy discussion of Parisian society, the Mexican throne, Maximilian, and a broad surge of financial speculation fueling the Mexican loan and the Société Générale in Paris.
