Colquitt Dominates Gubernatorial Outlook Across Georgia
The Georgia press largely favors Gen Colquitt for governor this fall. Papers from Dalton Canton and Ohio’s Columbus Times echo strong support and predict Colquitt will secure a delegate majority if a clear path to the nomination emerges. Also noted are arrest reports, discussions of primary elections, and a reminder of the Centennial era memorabilia.

Congress probes Breedman Bank scandal in Washington Letter
In a May 27 1876 Washington Letter the report on the Breedman Saving and Trust Company exposes a vast fraud. J W Alvord allegedly forged a charter while officers ran a confidence scheme for depositors. Books show torn leaves and false entries, with large unsecured loans and diverted funds to South travelers. The piece notes presidential veto clashes, Belknap debates, and minister Sehn ek’s mine scandal report due, while Georgia crops face lice and wheat readiness nears harvest.
