The New York Herald's Columbia spe-
cial Gays the senate investigating commit
tee in South Carolina have left for Wash
ington. 1t trsnsplres that Judge Cook, re-
publican, testified to a cOnversa'iNn with
United States District Attorney Clrbin,
in which the latter stated tha: if the en-
thusiasm Of the whites could not be
checked the republicans would lose the
state, and that it would be necessary TO
have forty or fifty negroes killed in order
to make a case for the United States courts
which would result in the introduction of
troops, by the presence Of which the state
alone could be carried. The significance of
this t. stimony lies In the fact that soon af-
terSards the E'lenton riot occurred. Cor
bin emphatically denies the truth of this
statement.
