From Washington correspondent: debate in the House over a motion to expel Mr. Long grows heated as speakers including Harris of Maryland and Washburn of Illinois clash over loyalty and rebellion. The expulsion vote fails by not reaching two thirds, prompting predictions of political fallout amid ongoing tensions and references to Maryland's emancipation prospects.
The dispatches describe brutal fighting at Fort Pillow with rebel forces killing black troops and mutilating wounded, while Union officers and civilians report evacuations and executions. Sherman confirms surrender and brutal conduct, with further notes on Petersburg era politics, copperhead sentiment, and varied war news across multiple fronts.
The Binghampton Times reports Pat Burns aged seventy eight, father of thirty, living with his second wife. He is described as an industrious Irishman. A detached note mentions remedies from bruised geranium leaves for cuts and sores on skin. The item includes political and international snippets, including Civil War era references and a piece on Emancipation in Poland and a Paraguayan imperial prospect.
The piece discusses alleged mass voting irregularities with a dose of humor, noting a seventy seven vote by one woman and calling out early voting greed. It then presents a Washington letter explaining a revolutionary legal idea: under Confiscation Law the slaves hold a lien on rebel land, giving them subsistence rights and, by remainder in interest, potential title to property even after masters are gone.
