U S Ministers Salary Critique and Political Notes
The U S Minister to the Court complains his $17 500 yearly salary is too small and hints at resigning with a possible candidate for the vacancy. A sheriff in Armstrong County Pennsylvania was sentenced to two years and one month for perjury and election corruption. Tennessee lawmakers push for full policy payouts in total property destruction. A Buffalo hotel bills itself as serving fifty three dishes. Dr R V Pierce’s ventures are praised. Ben Butler discusses reconciliation and pensions for wounded Confederates. A West Troy milliner Mrs Simmons eloped, leading to a husband’s suicide attempt and tragic family harms. The Washington Greenback meet in the Cincinnati Enquirer notes attendees and a Speaker caucus plan. Congress quickly moves 25 million for arrears, 5.8 million for rivers/harbors, 2.5 million for deficiencies, with broad districted allocations. Critics call it wasteful spending on unimproved waterways.
