Pomeroy Ponders Coal Trade and Obvious Prosperity
The letter outlines a harsh winter, urging aid for the poor and detailing fuel scarcity, hunger, and destitution in Cincinnati and elsewhere. It urges Christian action, warns against hollow prayer, and argues wealth should serve the needy through personal charity and reform. It then compares Richmond's prosperity to Pomeroy, proposing a plan to expand labor income via auctioned services, encouraging local businessmen to adopt savvier commerce to reduce river-navigational dependence.

Public Works probe shows canal contracts warped
A 1857 report details Ohio Canal bids under the Board of Public Works led by James J. Bloodman and others. The investigation found favoritism and inflated costs across eight sections, with several low bids rejected and contracts steered to favored firms, prompting calls to test validity in court and potential legislative action.
