Fragmentary dispatches reveal Gen Grant directing early action to safeguard state authorities as Tennessee resistance voices and rebel supporters rally. Reports cite Coercive measures, mobilized troops, and warnings aimed at quelling rebellion while Johnson faces a trimmed preparation window for his trial.
The old veteran Wade speaks plainly about his presidency wish and duty. He would prefer remaining near the Senate, presiding over it if possible, or staying where he is, rather than a fragmentary term as President. He cautions that the office is a duty not a prize and notes the likely political costs and scarce time for governing.
Reports from Monday describe Thad Stevens's worsening condition with signs of memory loss toward his Negro servant. Congress members were asked not to press visits as editors note a potential end of his public duties. Fragmented text also cites population figures for northern counties and state totals.
