Pension week and policy clashes in Congress
Washington in January 1867 recounts a busy week in Congress labeled pension week with large funding for civil pensions for long serving government clerks. It notes opposition from spoilsmen and hints at rotation, plus a Senate clash over secret sessions led by Senator Riddleberger. Also profiles new Senator-elect Hiscock and future Hearst, with various state and local notices.
