The column surveys nominating struggles around Mr. Tilden, Greely's influence, and Western emigration. It notes Kentucky Governor Blackburn amid yellow fever charges and praises ministerial civility to Sherman. It laments women voters on school matters, comments on Daniel Drew and his endowed Drew Seminary, and recalls Hood’s South and General Hood’s successors.

The column notes progress and setbacks in New York society. Weston clings to the track under sheriff’s watch while Rowell wins the belt in an ironic ceremony.

Counterfeiters’ skill and a Brooklyn post office theft spark public alarm. Major Andre monument plans by Gyrus W. Field mark commemorative ambition.
