A Washington dispatch recalls the 1860 Senate, listing leaders like Sumner Bayard and Seward, remarks on Cameron and Douglas, and notes on future figures including Johnson Wade and Lincoln era appointees. It contrasts past giants with today’s Senate, noting lack of military genius among earlier members and detailing cabinet links of the era.
