Springfield and Memphis railroad issue to be settled
The Missourian editorial in La War argues support for the line but criticizes both companies for public distrust. A new company is suggested, with funds pledged by Barton and surrounding counties to build a shorter route via Mount Vernon, Vernon, and Fort Scott. Editors urge swift action, officer elections, and practical business leadership to advance the project and Southwest Missouri interests.

Mississippi conservatives purge key officeholders in reshuffle
In Jackson on August 12 Judge Selfard A Warner and Judge Speed, with many minor officers, were removed by Gen Ames. The move targets leading figures in the state conservative movement amid broader relief from federal reconstruction policy. Ad Applegate, Alabama lieutenant governor and Mobile storekeeper, was found disqualified by law from holding two offices under the revised constitution of Achaia, requiring him to choose one. Mississippi figures Gordoun Adame and Major Wolfird criticised reconstruction policy and federal administration in letters to the President.
