LATEST FROM WASHINGTON.
The Examination into "SoHthern
Outrases Estate Of Affairs In North

The Examination into "SoHthern
Outrases Estate Of Affairs I'm North
Carolina.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l.-The Senate COM
mittec to investigate the condition OF at-
fairs at the South, Of which Senator Scott,
of Pennsylvania, is chairman, propose to
90 to work in few days. They will SUBJ
nena the prominent men in the South who
are supposed to be cognizant of the alleged
outrages recently committed, and among
them will be Gov. Holden (Rad.), of North
Carolina Gov. Scott (Rad.), of South Ca
rolina, and Gov. Davis (kad.), of Texas.
The committee intend to report as soon as
possible before the present session closes.
In the mass of documents from Governor
Holden recently submitted by the Presi-
dent to the Senate is letter from Colonel
Hunt, who in July, 1870, commanded the
Rhode Island, January 3, 1871, answering
an inquiry about murders and other
violence committed by disloyal organiza-
lions for political purposes that he heard
of none such happening in the State
while he was there. or those which
occurred previous to his taking COM
mand, that which created the most
excitement, was the murder of State
Senator stevens, in CasweH. He adds
that the evidence of the existence of such
organizations in both political parties was
produced. Nearly all the cases inquired
into proved, however, that other than po-
litical purposes were effected through the
facilities afforded by these organizations,
whose machinery was used to punish theft,
burglaries, insults to women, and other Of
fences in no way connected with politics.
In fine, their principal business seemed to
be to do the work usually performed BY
REGULATORS" and vigilance committees.
&c., These crimes were bad enough in them
selves, but in the bitterness Of party feeling
they were greatly exaggerated and mis-.
represented, and attributed to the political
parties as such. To what extent murders
and outrages were committed for political
purposes, am not in a position to state
for when the Legislature passed laws to
punish the members Of secret organiZa-
lions, they were to great extent, if not
wholly, dissolved; and this was before /
assumed command of the district.
