West Point funding criticised by Congress as excess
The speaker argues the 231000 appropriation for West Point is wasteful and aristocratic, urging abolition of the academy. Promotions should be by merit, not schooling, noting famed generals had little formal education and many officers resign to become engineers, suggesting public support would rise if the academy ended.

Two Bay State Sensations Shake New York
From Boston comes a bank robbery in Northampton where a cashier and family were gagged and bonds and cash totaling about three quarters of a million were stolen, highlighting local money shortages and banking fragility. A separate swindle case centers on an ex shoemaker ex preacher ex congressman publisher who fled to Rotterdam with over 200000, totaling about 400000 in forgeries, illustrating daring fraud and elusive justice. A Times article lists five years of New York murders with only seven executed, indicting a flawed system. A cake walk with African American participants at a Brooklyn fair is mocked yet noted for its social satire. Frank Leslie’s Popular Monthly debuts as a major, inexpensive illustrated magazine with extensive art and Joaquin Miller’s The Pink Countess. Leslie also leads the New York Centennial Commission.

Easter date explained by lunar cycle and a Hartford Times quip
The Churchman explains Easter shifts this year due to lunar calculation rather than solar timing, noting the Paschal full moon falls Saturday April 8 and Easter Sunday follows on April 16. A March 21 full moon before noon would not regulate Easter, as in 1810. The Hartford Times recounts a Fairfield county stump speech ended by a drunken heckler’s quip about demagoguery. The orator replies with a witticism about a demijohn. The piece also comments on party realignments, favoring Hendricks for Indiana and criticizing Morton and Frank Landers’s gubernatorial prospects.
