Political notes from Warren Ledger July 5 1877
The N X Herald predicts Democratic majorities may form in New York New Jersey Pennsylvania and Ohio while Iowa Republicans oppose Hayes policy. Government receipts exceed expenditures by about 8 million dollars last fiscal year. A Democratic Speaker seems unlikely in the next House though the Patriot cites a larger Democratic majority with several vacancies. The Supreme Court rules endangers of five percent collection fees are relieved from liability due to that clause.

Praise for Judge Trunkey and his judicial service
A county convention unanimously endorses Hon. John Trunkey for the Supreme Court. The sketch highlights his Mercer county origins in 1828, early legal training with Samuel Griffith, ten years as district judge, and two party-crossing elections. It lauds his clear, principled rulings, cites a 1874 license case and quotes his defense of interpreting laws, concluding Venango will regret parting with him for higher office.

Fourth in Corydon Picnic Celebrations by Corydon People
A Corydon correspondent recounts a Fourth of July celebration with sunny weather, decorated grounds, and a strong speech by Mr. James. Miss S. B. Pike delivered a temperance essay on the fruit of the vine, prompting reflection on dangers to families. The crowd listened intently as Mr. James spoke with power and humor, concluding the day with high spirits. An accident during setup left Miles with a bruised hand, as officials addressed individual injuries and municipal fire incidents were noted in Cuba.
