River of Radical Corruption Brings Cross or Passivity
The Peoria National Democrat denounces passivity amid Radical corruption, arguing the party must cross the roaring stream rather than wait. It cites Voorhees wealth questions, contrasts Harlan and Blaine, and notes W. J. Niblack leaving for Washington to rejoin Congress, with social noting of a wedding and dancing at a Workingmen’s ball before a three week return home.

Habeas corpus and free government debate in Congress
An English statesman argues Americans lack appreciation for habeas corpus, claiming the Civil War preserved free government foundations. He asserts the Constitution forbids suspension except in invasion or rebellion, criticizes presidential overreach, and warns against broad Acts declaring various crimes as rebellion, while noting South Carolina laws and local offenses remain prosecutable. The piece includes a local meeting note and reflections on small newspapers versus larger ones.

Democratic versus Radical Government
The Indianapolis Sentinel reports the Treasurer of State James B. Ryan’s annual 1871 fiscal year exhibit. It shows a total debt of 3,883,900.88 bearing 6 percent interest, plus interest on older stocks, and notes retrenchment under Democratic rule with reduced expenditures and taxes versus Radical claims of debt repayment. The piece argues economy under the Democratic administration lowered public burdens and compares 1870 and 1871 spending across multiple state offices.
