Illinois General Assembly ready to convene with seasoned senate
The 28th Illinois General Assembly opens at noon January 8 1873. The senate and house gain experienced members, with Cullom likely speaker. Expect rail and criminal code overhauls, revising 1870 constitution alignments, and potential long session into April or longer. A court decision challenges railroad tariffs but upholds state power to regulate rates and prevent unjust discrimination.

Judges in the new circuits are to be elected on the first Monday in June.
