Supreme Court Stands Behind Pacific Railroad Funding Law
A Supreme Court ruling sustains the 1878 Pacific Railroad Funding law requiring railroads in arrears to share a portion of annual earnings with the U.S. Government. Secretary Sherman plans to seek a bill to issue 4 per cents in exchange for the public debt. Discussions between the President and Secretary Evarts address Indian troubles and border incidents. Reports mention war prisoners, a British official indictment, and efforts to form a national agricultural society as industry and finance brighten with rising Clearing House figures. A ship captain reports seventeen survivors after a wreck near New Orleans amid ongoing overseas tours by Gen. Grant and missionary activities.
