In The Senate, White and Rams1ell, the cor
respondents OF the New York Tribune, ,nnder
duress for contempt, replied in effect in wrl-
ting: His excuse for not answering the ques-
.ions OF the cammittee vas, that to do 30
would be in violation Of his professional honor.
That 1t is o uniform practice Of members OF
his profession to regard rs confidential
their sources Of information, and even II
such confidence had not been pledged, IL
was implied; and if he should violate
that practice, he believed he would render
himself infamous in the estimation Of his as
sociates. The questions of the committee,
which Mr.. White had refused to answer. were
again put to him by the vice-prcsident, the
secretary reducing his answers 10 writing.
Mr. White answered that he first saw the
treaty In print, and telegraphca it to the TIL
bune Immediately on receiving it. The
questions as 10 where, he got 1t,
from whom, did he pay for if, &C.,
were then asked, and Mr. White replied: Il
resncctlulv decline to answer" A motion 10
commit Tie prisoners to the common jail was
amended 10 place them in the custody OF the
sergeant-u-arms, and the committee, Which
th,,r silence placed in contempt, is to
be continued during The recess, which
machinery makes their confinement perpet-
,,al. However, should the prisoners notify
the sergeant-atarms OF their willingness 10
purge themselves, and the committee to
which they are amenable shall not assemble
within ten days thereafter, the seryeant-at
arms may enlarge the prisoners.

The Last Outrage In North Carolina,
Robson County, North Carolina, is pillaged
bya gang OF negro outlaws who maintain them
selves in the swamps, whence they sally out 10
rob and murder.
A few months ago they murdered the sheriff
OF the county. Tom Lowrey, leader OF lhe
Gaug. was captured, but broke Jail. Some
fine afterwards the new sheriff OF Robeson
summoned the county posse and surrounded
Tom Lowrey,s house. The outlaw broke
through the line and made his escape. Alter
wards he was captured, and on his trial on lhe
charge OF resisting an officer. Mt. furnell
and his son, who had been OF the party sum-
moned By the sheriff, gave testimony against
the prisoner. Thereupon Henry Berry Low
