Washington Hearing Reveals Conflicted War Office Finances
In Washington, Charles Albert faced the Ways and Means Committee again, declining to name payees until proper propriety is cleared. Schumaker testified about consulting for Pacific Mail and Stockwell & Trewin, detailing large checks and transfers through Brooklyn Trust, and claiming professional honor over disclosure. Belknap telegrams from New Orleans accuse political maneuvering, while other dispatches note cold weather and ongoing federal debates on Louisiana reconstruction and governance.
