Very proper is it that the Senate investigating committee should be searching and thorough in it' work. It is to be commended for it' zeal and for interpreting aright tin-sentiment of the people. Each Senator is called upon to answei ertaiu drau m l tpieslions. If. in the drawing in small fry are eaui'ht as well as larger fish, there i> a lesson for all to learn. And learnt in the school of adversili make it all t he more im pressive. The Senator from Eastern North Carolina has recently been on the rack.
