The HexATi paper labels critics narrow minded while attacking the OBrien brothers and a public figure named Davis. The piece lampoons reconstruction talk about Southern women, quips about Jefferson Davis and historians, and warns against misreading Southern society as trendily unsettled.
The article recounts Benjamin F. Wade and Jacob Ware in a tense Senate struggle over Reconstruction. It describes Wade as a leader in pushing two thirds votes, the rift with President Johnson, and Ware's pivotal vote showing duty over popular pressure during Ohio’s influence.
The article extols Senator Wade’s integrity during the Santo Domingo commission under Grant. It rebuts charges against Frederick Douglass, noting Douglass declined a paid post, while the rest of the party received government compensation. It lauds Wade as a model public figure and hints at future pieces on his associates.
Saturday Evening notes a theory by Alexander Delmar claiming global grain output per person rises since centuries, with Europe and Russia showing gains aided by railroads. The piece acknowledges figures are reliable but hints statistics can mislead, citing contrasting conclusion by another statistician, Mr Bean.
The article contrasts Delmar and Mansfield on population trends, free trade and protectionism, arguing the two statisticians disagree. It reviews American fiscal dealings from the Geneva conference, debt payments, and a Virginia political shift, noting Mosby’s stance and Virginia Conservative aims amid Union-era recollections.
