Congress adjourned. Gen. Rosecrans, the chair
man, remains in Washington, and there is estab-
lshed In two of the committee rooms on the Senate

ters. Here are some few documents in the shape
or tariff speeches which are sent out in case they
are asked for Gen. ROSecranS will to-day write
letter to ex-senator Thurman requesting him to
make two speeches in Ohio. This is all so far that
has been done with reference to the Ohio canvass.

state Gen. RoSecranS is familiar he is OF the Op.n
date, will be elected AS to congressman, the DEM
ocrats, he feels confident Will defeat Pacheco, and
give the democrats gain Of one in the Congress
siOnal delegation. AS to Maine the general has no
information. The committee OF which he is the

place Is rather lively, and he is now engaged In
looking after his own affairs
