A Mission OF fRepresentatiyes Of Laurens
County to Washington and what
Came OF it-Their Reception by the
Notwithstanding Prospects for
the Future.
From the Laurensyille HeraId.l

From the Laurensville Herald.l
This community is naturally curious to know
what has been accomplished by our recent mis-.
sion to Washington. From what we have gather
ed from the gentlemen sent, We regard their visit
to this "Heart OF the Nationn as well-tlmed, and
promising important results, both now and In the
future. -
In the first place, they were fortunate In secar.
ing an uninterrupted Interview with the Prest-
dent, Of an hour or more, In which; he accorded
them patient hearing to q long written docu.
ment prepared by the chairman, Colonel w. D.:
simpson. .In this paper there vas review OF an
the exciting causes, the many aggravatious and
the incendlery schemes aud haransues, which
prepared the way for the unfortunate occurrences
Of the Goth Of october last. This was followed by
as well as the subsequent developments to the
present time. With this paper was filed the pre-.
sentiments Of the the grand juries OF Lsurens an
Rlchand Counties on the same subject, and the
famous, or rather infamous waterloo speechn OF
some verbal inquiries and explanations, tine
President received these papers, and promised to
lay them before the investigating committee OF
the Senate. In this the main object ot their mis-
sion, the committee lelt grained at tnelr Suc-
cess.
In the next place, they were brought into free
communication with Senator Bayard, the Demo-
cratic member Of the Senate's committee on
"southern outrages.n y His opinion was that the
raising OF that committee was mere party move,
aimed more particularly at North Caroline and
Georgia. to force them back to the Republican
track He said they were engaged with North
Carolina at that time, and would probably devote
the balance OF the session to that State. he
thought that any ef6rt to press upon their atten-
ton any matter connected with eur State would,
Just then, be impolltlc and n.timed: he promised
to give our committee due notice when the proper
time should arrive, 80 that the right class OF Wit
nesses might be sdmmoned, and the truth ellcited.
he, with many Others, commended the manly
spirit of our people 10 thus sending on to seek an
Investigation, rather than wait to be summoned
as criminals, to account for "outrages." And we
all know that this mission was not sent In the In
terest ofany class or party, but thati was the
spontaneous effort on the part OF all good cltl-
1eng to vindicate our noble old State from the vile
and malignant sspersionsof the traitors and for
eigners ~ our midst.
Besides these main results the committee met
with many announcements, and impaired much
needed informationln their private and 1ami1ar
intercourse with those In position, q detail o.
which would, Of course, be improper IN leWs.
paper account. Their chief encouragement was
the assurance from those who ought to know,
thai nothing car be more certain In the future
than the success Of the great Democratic party m
