Editorial on government expense and Breckinridge death notes
The piece rails at state officials over rent waste and calls for accountability by the secretary of state. It also reports General Breckinridge's death from a lung complication and abscess, recounting his last hours, the reaction of doctors, and his modest funeral. An Union League address urges electing capable, independent public men and criticizes party overreach. Oregon Centennial plans for showcasing state resources are outlined ahead of the 1876 exposition opening.

Congress approves free entry for Exposition goods
An act of Congress approved on May 18 1874 exempts all articles imported for the Centennial Exposition from duties if used for the exposition, with strict entry forms and safeguards. It lists major ports where such goods may be entered and notes penalties for diversion. A separate court ruling in New York awarded $3,000 in damages for a pedestrian crossing accident against the railroad. The Philadelphia Ledger proposes selling season tickets to fund the exposition and recalls a 1872 law shifting congressional elections to November after 1876.
