A club may consist of old or new subscribers in the same town or different sections. Each name counted toward the five needed for an extra copy. Readers are urged to canvass at once and encourage others to join, so they may receive the Weekly Globe for one year.

The piece criticizes Clement Hugh Hill for being unfit and driven by salary and party ties as he is named clerk of the United States district court.

A Georgian figure accuses others while defending his own corruption and public misconduct. The piece criticizes Mr Blaine’s linen contracts and labels Mr Garrison as out of touch, urging honest endorsement rather than southern carpetbagger backing amid postbellum and current political clashes.
The article condemns Lt. Martin of Louisiana for perjury and deceit during cross examination led by General Butler and Sherman.

The article rebuts William Pitt Kellogg’s claim to Louisiana’s Senate seat, arguing his election by a rump, unrecognized government was invalid.

It asserts Kellogg has no legal or equitable claim and condemns the rump government’s authority after troops withdrawal.
