Milwaukee and Mississippi Road map omits Whitewater
The Ninth Annual Report of the Milwaukee and Mississippi Railroad is criticized for its map showing Whitewater as absent despite its population and receipts. The piece accuses the railroad's late president of hostility to Whitewater and links this to broader political infighting and alleged corruption within Democratic circles including Bashford and Kilbourn era figures.

State Printing Contracts Stir Debate in Madison Journal
The Madison Journal argues in favor of equal interest with the Argus in a state printing contract. It notes the Argus bills about 26,000 and the Journal less than 12,000. It questions extra printing claimed by the Argus and suggests total state printing may exceed necessary costs.

Last Meeting of the Spurious Kansas Committee
The Spurious Kansas Committee met on March 3 for the last time. Mr. Letcher returned, the tie was untied, and the report passed 8 to 7. The report, drawn by Mr. Stephens, mirrors the same content as if from the Territories committee chair. The session produced no real investigation, as the majority’s will was thwarted by the Speaker. The outcome aligns with Giddings’ warning to Anti-Lecompton Democrats about aiding Ta compton weeks.

Reform calls retrenchment in state affairs at a glance
The Milwaukee Daily Times quotes editorials urging drastic retrenchment and reform in state government. It targets salaries and useless offices such as State Librarian and Attorney General, arguing abolitions and reallocations to fund essential services, with emphasis on local control of school funds and distrust of central administration. The piece cites the Janesville Gazette as the source of these opinions.
