Kellogg Admission in the Louisiana Controversy
From the Lancaster Intelligencer the senatorial fight is described as a Republican maneuver to thwart a Democratic victory. It claims Matthews and others voted for Kellogg to preserve Hayes but emboldened Republican foes, aiding the Packard-Lousiana dispute and the Nicholls Legislature. It argues Kellogg’s election came via the Packard slate, with Hayes backing MacVeagh and Company to recognize Kellogg and discredit the Nicholls government.

Senate and House adjourn to join new Congress session
The Senate and House agreed to adjourn into a joint may session blending into the new Congress at noon. Amendments to the deficiency bill raise outlays by over a million dollars beyond House totals. A resolution from J B Eustis of Louisiana seats him as Senator from January 12 1876, while a minority report objects. In the House a relief bill for Huron wreck survivors proposes one thousand dollars for officers and one hundred dollars for seamen with twelve months pay to heirs. Guthrie and crew added to rescue provisions. The tariff bill was not instructed, Goode’s amnesty bill failed 99 to 52, and the Senate amendments to the deficiency bill were adopted.

Ferocious Dog At San Francisco Dog Show Incident
The San Francisco News Letter reports a savage red bull dog at a beach show that slipped its collar and grabbed Enos Rockley’s daughter, drawing a swift rescue by Colonel W H L Barnes who restrained the animal by the throat until a pistol arrived. The dog’s muzzle injury ruined bystanders’ clothes as the crowd watched. Colonel Barnes, praising restraint, quipped I feel like a little brandy after the ordeal. Also Joseph Donnelly was arraigned for larceny by his mother and held for court at $200.
