as.ss-ssa Carolina Finances Report
of Committee.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 28.-Rep-
resentative Tremain, Of the Sub-Commit-
Tee Of the Houae Judiciary Committee,
to-day made report to the full Commit
tee on the memorial of the Taxpayers
Convention ia South Carolina, asking for
relief against alleged misgovernment Of
that State. A majority of that Committee
agreed to the report, which was presented
to the House, ordered printed, and re-
committed TO the Committee. Mr.. Ell
bridge, on behalf of the minority, will
submit his views, maintaining that Con
gress should appoint committee to inves-
tigate the condition of affairs in South
Caroli1a. 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 numbered about90, 900,
and the white voters about 40, 900.
Congress has no constitutional power
to grant the relief which is asked by the
petitioners. 1t is believed that by
mutual Interchange of kind and friendly
intercourse, by the employment of all
means which are found sufficient In other
States, the existing evils in the admins
tration of the affairs of South Carolina
may be remedied by the people themselves.
The Committee, therefore, report reso-
luton that the prayer of the memorialists
be denied, and the Committee discharged
from further consideration of the subject.

From the Pieayune.
This side of the river, for several miles
above aud below Gainesville, was thickly
settled by the poorer class of people, and
now their homes are washed away and
thems Ives left destitute of everything.
Captain Poitevant sent his fatboats, skifEs
and tugs to their relief, and succeeded in
saving the stock and house hold goods OF
great many, but the boats could not
work fast enough, and he says he knows
OF at least ten families who are starving
and have not change of clothing. One
poor blind man was found clinging to the
side OF his house with the water up to his
neck. The cattle and hogs that saved
themselves by swimming to high lands are
dying of exhaustion. Capt. Poitevant
says that the swamp is full of deer and
hogs that are floating about on straw RATS
and single logs. Rabbits are floating about
on chunks, and the bears and their cubs
have climed up trees, and make the most
pitiful cries of distress.
The Captains favorite hound was
caught in the food, and was supposed to
be drowned, but after three days the poor
creature was found astride of a saw-loe,
bowling as loud as hunger and exhaustion
would permit.

a singular and melancholy accident,
terminating fatally, occurred at the vii
lage of East Meadows, Long Island,
Wednesday night A young lady of the
village, named Belle Palmer, bad been
that day married to a Mr. Wheeler,
and the newly welded pair and their
friends we're making merry at the house
of the brides parents. At about 1870
P. NJ, the young couple left the house, and
Mrs. Wheeler stepped into a carriage
walch was In waiting u receive them.
She took the leins in her hand in order
to hold the horse until her husband igined
her. At this moment some person be-
longing to the household discharged a
musket as salute to the bridal party,
when the horse, a very mettlesoma ami
NAL, broke from his fastening and dashed
down the road at a furious galiop. In
attempting to turn an abrupt curve the
carriage was upset, and Mrs Wheeler
was thrown violently. she had become
inextricably entangled in the loose rcins,
and was dragged over the rough sur
face of the road at fearful rate. The
animal subsequently fell into e ditch al
the roadside, dragging the unfortunate
lady with him. By this time the husband,
parents, and friends came up with In
terms, and discovered the mains OF
Mrs Wheeler partly immersed in the
water of the ditch, the horse still kicking
and struggling to escape. The head Of
the lady was almost torn from her body,
every limb was broken in a number OF
pl ices, and the whole body was bruised
and lacerated in ashocking manner, The
remains were removed by the friends, ac-
companied to the scene Of the N arriaze
festivities by the bereaved husband and
sorrowing parents of the deceased
