CONGRESSIONALCAM COM
MITTEES.
The Republicans Hard az Work
Democrats Getting Ready.

A special dispatch from Washington says:
"The officers OF the Republican Congress
si0nal Committee report that healthy inter-
est In the coming political struggle is show
ing Itself in every State and in nearly every
Congressional district. The general demand
for campaign documents Is almost unprece-
dented at so early time The committee
has already Issued twenty documents, and
of these nearly one million copies In all have
been ordered printed. Last month alone
nearly 200 600 copies were sent out, and
from one Western State within the last few
days has been received an order for $10, 900
worth of documents.
"Among The documents issued are q
number of speeches on the tariff, two or
three on the financial record of the Repub-
lican party, and several on the Southern
election frauds. The committee has also
deemed 1t expedieDt and necessary to issue
as a campaign document the speech deliv-
cred by Representative Butterworth In Con-
gress few weeks ago on the subject of
appointments and removals by the Presi-
dent-a speech that was recognized as an
authorized and official defense of the ad-
ministration.
"Of course, much of the work of the Re-
publican committee thus far has been pre-
liminary-obtainiDg of specific information
In regard TO every doubtful Congressional
district, the causes of doubt or dissffection,
the effect OF the temperance movement, the
personal standing Of candidates. etc. The
officers of the committee cay that never
before has so great an amount OF definite
ard trustworthy information been collected
so early In the campaign, although this
matter has never been neglected.
"In regard to the work Of the Democratic
Congressional Committee, it is impossible to
ascertain what, IL anything, is being done,
except the sending out of a good many
speeches. A correspondent who met Gene
ersl Rosecrans, Chairman of the Executive
Committee, at the capitol to-day, asked
him where the headquarters of the commit
tee would be. Here In Washington was
the reply. I'VE are sending out a good
many documents from this building, but we
have not vet really established ourselves
How soon will the committee be ready
to begin an active canvassf

DEFENDING THE DORSEYS.
COUNSELLOR CARPENTER BE.
GINS HIS PLEA.
An Anstallment of PaShOs-Lawyer
ker Denounced - The Attorney
General Scored.

WASHINGTON, August 14.-Judge Carpen-
ter opened the argument for the defense in
the star route cases this morning, speaking
particularly in behalf Of his clients, j. W.
and s. W. Dorsey. He promised his argu-
ment by congratulsting the jury and his
fellow counsel that the trial was drawing
to close. He spoke for q lovely,
devoted and heart-stricken wife, for
innocent children, for a widow whose
husband was taken from her through ais
ease contracted in the service OF his country.
Tor her orphan children, for a sensitive, cul'
tivated, honest man, who had been trsduced
throughout the country in a manner In
which no mans character had ever been
assailed before. He was not here to ask
the jury for mercy. His instructions from
mis- client were to ask for Justice
counsel Tor the prosecution had told the
jury that the public had passed Judgment
In this case, and it was the iury's duty TO
affirm that Judgment. He had never before
heard such remark from counsel. He had
supposed 1t was the duty of the Jury to ind
verdict In accordance with the facts, and
not In accordance with public opinion.
The speaker then criticised the action of
the law officer Of the government in abdi-
eating his position to admit special counsel
(Ieferring to Messrs. Ker and Merrick, and
the action Of the Attorney General in par.
ticipating In the argument) He did not
believe the Attorney General acted as a
mouthpiece for the President, or that the
latter was using all the power of his admin.
istration to crush these defendants with
whom be had been on terms of social init
macy. He believed that the Attorney Gen
eral spoke only for the Department Of JUS
tice, but he ought not to participate at all
in such a trial as this.
Judge Carpenter then took up the argu-
mentl of Mr.. Ker, which he said was fun
OF gross mistatements, and lie contended
that there was not a scintilla of evidence to
sustain the Indictment for conspiracy. The
evidence OF Walsh, even IL true, simply
proved extortion by Brady and not conspi-
rscy. But 1t was not true, and he entered
into an argument to show its improbability.
AT the conclusion OF this branch Of his ad-
dress the court adjourned. All the defend
ants were present in court to-day except
Brady.

MATTERS IN PERU.
The ChilIans Harassed by Noun
satneers.

NEW YORK, August 14.-The steamship
Acapulco, from Aspinwall, brings Panama
dates to the 5th. Advices from Peru state
that the Chilian garrisons and expedition
ary forces are being gradually Withdrawn
from the interior, and are greatly harassed
on their way to Lima by small parties of
montoneros or irregular native troops. The
misconduct of the Chilisn expeditionary
forces seems to have turned the whole pop
ulstton against them.
Great alarm is felt in Lima among the
natives and foreigners, consequent on the
action of irregulars in the interior.
1t is feared that the Chilian people may
compel the government to adopt severe
measures of retaliation. 1t is said that the
Lima garrison will be increased from 5000
to $4,000 men, and that no detachments will
be kept In the interior in future.
