Georgia Legislature Shake Up and National Gossip
The Georgia capital shows a quiet reshuffle as illegally seated members are unseated and legally elected ones take their places. Ships of inquiry by General Terry prompt oath withdrawals and replacements, while Terry and Six-Governor Brown are discussed as potential U S Senators. The Congressional Banking and Currency Committee, with H O Burchard, probes the New York gold panic, exonerating Grant and family but exposing Corbin’s misrepresentation to Fisk Gould Co. Chicago grain trade faces registration disputes as elevator receipts distort market signals, with Tribune backing honest reform and the country press lending support.
