WASHINGTON.
Committee Report on south Carolina
Memorial.

MCEtoLl1A.
WASHINGTON. April 2S.-Representa-
tive Tremaine, of the Subcommittee of the
House Judiciary Committee, to-day made a
renoff to the full committee ON the memo
rial of the Taxpayers Conventiono OF South
Carolina, asking for relief against the al
legged disagreement of that State. ANA
iority Of the committee agreed TO the re-
port, which was presented to the House,
ordered printed and reeommitted TO the
committees.
Mr.. Aldridge, on behalf of the minority,
will submit their views, maintaining that
Congress should appoint a committee TO in
vestigate tie condition of affairs in South
Carolina.
The majority of the committee say the
real grievances of the memorialists and
those whom they represent relate to the
changes in the Constitution of the United
States, whereby the colored voters Of South
Carolina number about 10000, and the
white voters about $4,000. Congress has
no constitutional power TO grant the relief
which is asked by the petitioners. 1t is be
lieved that by a mutual interchange OF
kind and friendly intercourse, and by the
EMPLOYMENT of all the means which are
found sufficient in other States, the exist
ing evils in the administration of the al
fairs of South Carolina may be remedied
by the people themselves. The committee
therefore report a resolution that the prayer
of the memoralists be denied and the COM
mittee discharged from further considera-
ton of the subject

BROwNLOw READ OUT.

The colored politicians who gathered
here yesterday seem TO be in sad pre-
dicament. They are evidently dissatis-
fed with the Republican party: Else
why set up the distinction of color and
exclude from their councils all brother
Republicans who happen to have
white skin? Why this prejudice of
race and color against the pale faces of
their party, unless the latter have lost
their confidence: Yet they vociferate
No to any suggestion of joining the
Democracy, and emphatically disclaim
any notion of springing third party,
black or white or mixed. Between the
devil and the deep sea, what are they
to do-whither go? We might, in des-
peration, advise them to join the
Changers and quit politics, but We have
not been initiated into the secrets Of
that Order and cannot say how the
thing would take.
We think the colored brethren are
altogether too severe on Parson Brown
low, They expect too much of human
nature. They seem to have Rugged to
their bosoms some very unwarTantable
decisions about the man who proved at
Philadelphia in 1858. to his own salts
faction, if not DR.. Pryne's, the Divine
right of Shareholders. They have been
laboring under some strange hallucina.
ton about the man who has urged the
lynching of negroes without judge OF
jury. when they happened to fall under
accusation. Senator Brownlow's atti
tude on the civil rights bill is pretty
much in accord with his lifelong
views, and he never WIS a Democrat
either.

THE Freedman's Bank concern seems
to be a widely ramifed affair, and any
alarm at any point causes a tremor all
along the line. We believe this class
o; institutions are mainly conducted
by white officials, and no doubt they
realize the usual dividends of banks on
the earnings of negroes deposited with
them. 1t is to be hoped that the lead
ers of the party which claim a monop-
oily of concern for the welfare of the
race, are exercising due vigilance over
the management of these Freedmen's
