State and union in the postwar debate during reconstruction
The article contrasts two regional views on re admittance and sovereignty in the former Confederate states. It argues that statehood hinges on actual government, not mere geographic status, and that Union restoration requires loyal governance and constitutional amendments. It notes military conquest, eventual readmission as states, and calls for ending military tribunals and erasing racial distinctions in law. It praises a reconstruction committee and lawmakers shaping policy.

Valedictory from Marshall Staterman editor urges severing ties
The Marshall Staterman announces its editor and proprietor will sever ties with the Statesman and the State Press after over forty years of association. The piece reflects on the paper’s long service to the community, the village’s growth into a city, changes in schools and churches, and the editor’s gratitude to patrons and friends while defending political convictions and the move away from old party lines toward republican ideals.
