The House Snb.Judciary Committee
held brief consu:t.tion to-day on South
Carolina matters, and postponed final
action till next Monday. The subject
OF the taxpayers memorial excites the
grave consideration of the sub-commit-
tee, who will report in conformity with
the magnitude of the interests deemed
to be involved. The influence wrought
by the arguments of the taxpayers is
felt IN Government circles outside the
Judiciary Committee, and is daily grow
ing more potential. as is evidenced by
the gravity with which the subject is
being considered. It is noticeable that
the disposition to sift the complaints of
the memorialis@ aud the answers of the
State officials very closely. accumulates
in force every time the subject comes up
for consideration, though the solution
remains involved in apparently impene-
trab!e obsourity. Honest sympathy,
and, so fur as possible, the cooperation
OF all right.thinking people in authority
here, seems to be going out towards the
oppressed victims of misrule, not only
in South Carolina, but other sections Of
the South.
