Second Impeachment Fiasco and Political Tides in Congress
A long critique details Radical leaders Thad Stevens Boutwell and Farnsworth charging impeachment of President Johnson amid cabinet disputes with Grant. It notes shifting Radical and Democrat positions, echoes roving correspondence about Capt. Williams, and cites Missouri notices from Boon Township and Lawrence County. Reports cover political meetings, jail and poorhouse funding, alcohol concerns, railroad talks, and local court actions. The piece blends national crisis with southwest Missouri updates from February 1868.

Reconstruction debates and railroad bills dominate Missouri politics
Amid chaotic telegrams from Washington and Alabama reports a flood of political maneuvering fills Missouri. Debates on the Southwest Pacific Railroad, reconstruction acts, and river or rail ties dominate the Senate and House sessions as leaders push for completion, funding, and political influence with key figures like Sherman, Johnson, and Allen central to the discourse.
