Election scraps and legislative notes from Ogansport Daily Pharos
Yesterday Carpenter gained one vote yet trails by four in an election. Chandler lacks one vote and then failed to vet it. Over the last four months more than twenty million dollars in specie have been shipped to Europe for bond investment. Andrew Johnson is called the senator of the people with a universal constituency. A Ohio resolution asks Congress to force Indiana to maintain the Wabash and Erie canal as a public highway. A local opinion argues against placing an insane asylum in this city, claiming little financial benefit and a draw of curious visitors. Minnesota debates Senator Ramsey’s absence in St Paul and potential Senate bid. The Maine Law debates local option and constitutional rights, favoring traffic regulation over prohibition.
