Presidency Dispute Settled Amid Crossed Allegations
The Warren Ledger reports mounting evidence that the 1876 presidential contest is nearing resolution. Tilden and Hendricks are described as elected with Hayes being questioned, Florida Supreme Court actions prompt recanvass, and Democratic electors in Louisiana and South Carolina gaining momentum. The piece notes division among Republicans in Washington, Grant’s stance on inauguration, and the growing public sentiment favoring merit over fraud, with state conventions in January expected to influence the outcome. The article lists twelve Republican Senators named in the Chandler scheme and suggests further defections may occur.

Highland coal route to Buffalo proposed from DuBois
A 19th century correspondent from Paxburg, Pa. discusses a planned highland rail path from DuBois to Buffalo via Brockwayville, Little Toby, Brandy Camp, and the Clarion highlands. The route would avoid the Erie river path, claim to carry thirty loaded cars per locomotive, and possibly shorten distance to about one hundred eighty miles, with feasibility hinging on ridge level grades and bridge crossings.

Senator Thurman denounces intimidation claims tied to returning boards and votes in Louisiana and Madison Wells parish. He argues the system allows unelected boards to override voters, links the issue to the color line, and asserts the Republican Party sought black votes to gain power while accusing thousands of Black voters of intimidation when they report voting Democratic.
