Years-The Old Roster anu the New One
Prom the st. Louis Globe Democrat
The Senate of the United States OF
the Forty-sixth Congress is Democratic
by majority of eight. The Republic
cans are in minority in that body fol
the first time in eighteen years. The
last Democratic Senate adjourned sine
die on the 4th of March, 1861. AS q
matter of curiosity we reproduce the
roll OF each body--that of 1861, and
that of 1879. 1t is worthy of notice, as
a coincidence, that the Democratic
majority is 1861 was precisely what it il
to-day-eight:
