Wisconsin railroad land grant inquiry rejected by Assembly
The Assembly committee on railroads reports that an investigation into alleged bribery and fraud in disposing of state lands granted for railroads is inexpedient. It argues such an inquiry could harm state interests, risks market confidence, and suggests existing statutes and courts provide adequate remedy. The report, adopted, defers further consideration of impeachment petitions.

Buchanan Inaugural Address Parade Opens Washington
President Buchanan and Vice President Breckenridge rode in an open carriage followed by the largest procession in Washington. He urged unity, promised a pure administration, discussed slavery, the Nebraska Kansas issue, and warned against territorial expansion by force. He emphasized a peaceful foreign policy and avoidance of entangling alliances. The procession drew vast crowds and applause, with Chief Justice Taney administering the oath. A hotel near Black River Falls burned at dawn with $1,500 loss and no insurance.
