WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S The indifTer-
cncc displayed by the democratic con-
gressional committee is in striking con-
trast with the energy shown at republi-
can headquarters The democrats are
evidently not going to make much of a
fight from this point at least, for the pos
session of the next house of representa-
tives. Thompson, of Kentucky, who is
secretary of the committee, will soon be
here, and the active labors of the com.
mittee, it is said, will then begin. At
present they have scarcely room. and
very little is done Gen. Rosecrans. the
chairman, has good reputation rs a
manager, but he has shown little energy
thus far, and will leave the city in day
or two for California, to be gone for some
time. In the contest for the chairman
ship it was urged on behalf of Flower
that Rosecrans would be absent in Cali
fornia much of the time, and unable to
attend to the duties OF the position.
This assertion seems to be true. The
committee has little money, and have not
done much beyond distributing few
speeches.
