E A Pollard recalls lavish balls and tableaux in Richmond as the war neared its end with gala revels and a blockader’s champagne sale. The piece notes in Maryland labeled fancy dress as Confederate fashion and public spectacle amid war weariness. The Lancaster Intelligencer reports the Georgia Senate reconsiders the Negro Suffrage Amendment, provoking Radicals and calls to bar Georgia Congressmen until ratification.
