FROM WASHINGTON. 70
The Washington correspondent of the
New York World writes of our delega-
ton before the Reconstruction Committee:
Secretary Fletcher was followed by
Col. Thruston, an ex-army officer, who
was at one time on the staff of Gen.
George III. Thomas. He gave most en-
phatic denial to the stories of outrage,
maintained that every little disturbance
was greatly magnified; that the general
condition of the State was as peceable as
that of any Northern State, that it was
false as far as he knew that Union ex-sol-
diers had been ordered out of the State,
and he believed that military reconstruc-
ton would infiict the greatest injury upon
Tennessee. His views and his standing
as an officer made most favorable inn
preston on the committee. Next week
the committee will vote upon the ques-
ton of reconstructing the State, butt is
impossible to anticipate the result in COM
mittee. z In the House it is believed that
the revolutionary proposition viii be de-
feated IA Fsr r
The Radical leaders have been manufac-
turing charges of disorder and violence at
the South, and have endeavored to get up
an excitement and frenzy on the subject,
under cover of which they hope to secure
from Congress employment of troops and
BrownlOw militia, in order to intimidate
the people from going to the polls, or
drive them into acts of resistance which
would give the Government an excuse for
a new war on the Southern communities.
The statements put out by the carpet
baggers IN the press and by letters, have
been most audacious; but, on trying the
matter by examination of witnesses, the
whole allegation is seen TO be gigantic
political fraud. The idea of an employ
ment of troops in the South is creating
a feeling of uneasiness among business
men, and is so little sustained by public
sentiment that the President has refused
troops to the Governor of Tennessee on
the ground that the request should come
from the Legislature. brakes amend
ment has not been favorably received by
the Radical press, and is not as strong as
it was when first proposed. On the whole,
it looks just now as if the carpet baggers
had received decided check in their
operations.
