add to cart   close window

This article focuses on political developments around the world as of February 25, 1875. The Senate Judiciary Committee were in December 1874, directed by the Senate to examine the "Press Gag-law," and particularly to report whether under it persons accused of libel or any other crime could be dragged from their homes to Washington to be tried by a District Court. The probabilities that there will have to be an extra session of U.S. Congress in order to procure the appropriations do not seem at this writing to be increasing.
