In Kingston Roane County East Tennessee Judge Houk presided replacing Tadge Hall. A man charged with felonious assault faced a prosecutor who was a Union man as federal troops had blockaded the prosecutor's premises. The Attorney General waived the felony, the defendant pled to a misdemeanor, and remarks from the bench stirred strong political tension as Col Thornburg warned of indictment for violence. The judge fined the defendant five cents.
A detailed roll of acts and joint resolutions enacted at a Congress session includes treaties with hostile tribes, Venezuelan conventions for citizen exoduses, sympathy for Crete, ship mail service with China and Japan, post roads, and relief acts for individuals in Tennessee and Green County. Reports from Raleigh and Augusta note registration delays, crop prospects in Georgia, and a defeated woman suffrage amendment in Arkansas, with broader political commentary from Virginia and New York on reconstruction, suffrage, and party strife.
