| The South Carolina Grievances.
/ WASHINGTON, April 24.-The House sub
judiciary committee held brief consulta-
ton to-day on the South Carolina matter,
and postponed final action till next Monday.
The subject of the taxpayers memorial
excites the grave consideration of the sub
committee, who will report in conformity
with the magnitude Of the interest deemed
to be involved.

Of the taxpayers is felt In Government cir
Giles outside of the Judiciary Committee,
and is daily growing more potential, as is
evidenced by the gravity with which the
subject is being considered. The honest
sympathy and, so far as possible, co0pera-
ton of all right-thinking people in authority
here seems to be going out towards the op.
pressed victims of misrule, not only in
South Carolina, but in other sections of the
South.
