Greeley and Grant Debates in Postwar Union News

Horace Greeley discusses secession, union, and slavery in late 1872 writings. He praises Grant, laments Lincoln-era divisions, and notes Indiana election results favoring Senator Morton and Republicans in the Senate contest. The report frames postwar political alliances and a national mood.

Death of ex Secretary Seward detailed in Auburn dispatch

An Auburn New York dispatch dated the 11th recounts the death of ex-Secretary Seward. After a summer of relative health he suffered a week of chills fever and a catarrhal attack leading to a fatal lung effusion on Thursday.

Fire at Whitehall destroys most of main business block

The Whitehall fire started about 8:30 Friday morning in Norvill's restaurant and burned fifteen business houses in the Main street block. Firefighters rushed from Jacksonville on a special train with 150 men, but water ran out as the blaze swept the west side from Pierson's bank to the Methodist Church. The Masonic Hall and St Louis store were among the losses. Piergon's bank survived with damage. Insurance in the burnt district totals about 7,200 with Baldwin & Co holding 4,000. Authorities quelled disturbances as the town faced a heavy setback and compared the blow to Chicago’s key disaster.
