Bancroft Named to Regental Post at Smithsonian Institute
The House passed the Senate bill appointing George Bancroft to fill the Smithsonian Board of Regents vacancy. Nebraska and Kansas face grasshopper relief bills from Commissioners of public lands. A ceremony recalls seventeen Confederate soldiers reinterred near Fort Bunker Hill in 1844 with Bishop Pinckney and Gen. Philip Cooke. President responds to New Orleans requests for troops with caution, prepared to act if violence occurs. Tariff debates show three core Senate-House differences including stock dealer taxes, tobacco licenses, and a hops duty dispute.
