Dispensary law sparks constitutional questions in Columbia
Attorney General Townsend says whiskey shipments to residents are barred unless certified by the state dispenser. He doubts the law allows personal shipments even in small amounts, insisting certificates tie to state purchase. The note cites Padgett Simonton’s decision and ongoing debate over enforcement and dispensary authority.

Senators Debate Silver and Bank Bills Amid Tensions
Washington dispatch notes Senator Butler's absence for a relative's death in South Carolina may stall his Voorhees bill speech. The piece outlines free coinage, repeal of the state bank tax, and conflicts with administration policy as silver advocates push amendments to alter the national bank act and Sherman purchase clause. News from Texarkana reports Democrats supporting free silver expressing anger at President Cleveland with a public effigy of him burned after a mass meeting in Buchanan Texas.
