WASHINGTON NEWS.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Chairman
Barnum of the National Democratic Com
mittee, is here to-day consulting with the
Democratic leaders in Congress with re-
gard to the formation of the Democratic
Congressional Committee and management
of the coming political causes There is
some division among the Democrats as to
who should oe elected chairman OF the ex-
ecutive committee, as the chairman will
have the control and direction of the can
vass 1t had been decided to elect Rep
resentative Flower OF New York, but the
Greenback element in the Democratic
party oppose him on the ground of his ex-
treme hard money view.
The following is related by prominent
ex Union General as piece OF unwritten
history in connection with the revival Of
the Rosecrans- Garfield letters. 1t brings
to the surface hitherto forgotten fact,
which tend to strengthen the well-known
friendship and affection which existed be-
tween the two. 1t will be remembered
that Garfield was delegate from Ohio in
1864 in the Baltimore convention and nom
mated President Lincoln for his second
term After Lincoln had been nominated,
Garfield telegraphed to Rosecrans, then in
st. Louis, as follows: 1.-The Vice Presidency
is going begging. VIII you accept?"
ten,
we'll known General, now in
Washington, consented and sent an
answer to Gen. Garfield. which was, it is
said, suppressed by Stanton in the War
Department. through whose hands all tele-
grams at that time went AS a consequence
Andrew johnson received a nomination
which Gen. Rosecrans would undoubtedly
have secured, and the following event of
LincolI's death would have placed him n
the Presidential chair, which subsequently
was filed by Johnson. The system of es-
pionage in the War Department at that
time brought with it the train of disasters
which followed under the johnson regime
and which might have happily been averted
in the placing of Garfeld's friend in the
Presidential chair.
All the Democrats cannot be depended
upon to oppose the proposed change in the
House rules. Several democratic members
have been in consultation with view OF
calling another caucus to procure change
in the programme of opposition, so as to
suggest modification of the proposed
amendments instead of unconditional op-
position to them. 1t is evident to all tnas
under the present rules scarcely any bull
calling for expenditure of money. out
side the regular appropriation bills, viii
stand any show of passing. Members In
terested in new public buildings, the river
Improvement, etc, are very 10th to go
home without something being done for
their local measures. Messrs Robson and
Reed are very confident that the proposed
amendment will be adopted when their in
tent is more fully understood.

HEREDITARY CONSUMPTION BAFFLED.

Because there is an inherited tendency
to consumption it does not follow that the
heir to this sad legacy must die of the dis
ease. The early symptoms of danger are
marked-a cough being the first and most
prominent. Meet this first indication of
peril with HALEs HONEY OF HoREHoUND
AND TAR, and in three days it will have
vanished, and with it all cause of apprehen-
sion. No matter how delicate the lungs
may be, or how strong the predisposition
to consumption, a speedy cure is absolutely
certain.
