Senate Adopts Edmunds Resolutions and Louisiana Appointments
The Senate passed Edmunds resolutions by a party vote after a late session debate. Garland’s amendment questioned constitutional ratification of the 13th to 15th Amendments, drawing contrasts with Democratic stance. In New Orleans, A. S. Badger and W. I. McMillan named for customs and postmaster roles, with Wharton retained as marshal amid party realignment. The Mississippi River Commission bill creates a five member panel to study jetty, levee, and outlet plans, with a $250,000 appropriation and a report to Congress. A Cincinnati dispatch links yellow fever to the Emily B. Souder from Havana and a failed quarantine inspection.
