The gzene necessity for economy in expendite has contracted the consumption of gar,so far Osit may be used as a luxu, and the same causes hive operated coffee, partly by inducing an enlarg consumption of cheaper statisties a partly by lessening the demand fort pure article. Much as both these tieces may seem necessary to the co fort of the breakfast table, yet in ha times they are v~ first to showt effects of economy. The very poor< have to dispense with them; andt larg~e masses who may still be able continue their consumption use th< more sparingly.

The report dissents entirely from thej coue!usions of the majority, and is it generally concurred in by the entire minority of the Judiciary Committee. es' The winAirity say: It is impossible to turn a deaf ear to the supplicating wail of 300,000 oppressed and despoiled citizens oft that once prosperous and happy State. e prnyi- only that inquiry be made in to ther alleged wrongs. We canuot ind *in tht reproaches of the conduct - of the ineinorialists in the pIst any - reason orjustification for refusing the t hearing they now request. Their idelity to the constitution and laws is cox now unqluesioned, and this plea iS D ade in respectful terms. - The report thtn recites briefly and pointedly the list of grievances com 'UP plained of. and predicates frot thtti au that th chars-es of the ienorialists 1 are tre. The minority say : V We aire aware of the doubts and O difficulty in pointing out the precise he clause of the constitution atuth-orizing ug intervention. but that protection in s all things is essential to good govern iat meZt no one denies. It should never ve be lost sight of; that for the cou au dition of things now existing in South n Carolina the federal government A d primarily responsible. Blink it look ter upon it as we may, horrible as the work of its hand may now appear, HF Congress set up and established the State of things that makes the coui mionwealth of South Carolina the 001 foul stinma it now is in our system. A We do not argue the right to inter U fere on that ground at this time, but Wco . OW we submit that we subject our govern o mental theorems to the contempt of the world and all intelligent men, in that we are all powerful to inaugurate and establish the paudemouium now usexisting there. and the very momentl f it is done are utterly powerless to in. terfere with it at all, or to save the pr"perty of the people from the spoils man. Nor can we forbear the sug ts,! ;ts gestion that. if this appeal were on be talf o 300,000 negroes, instead of 300,000 white Southerners of our iwn race and 'blood,such are the sympathies of the majority, as heretofore exhibited, that they would find by right or by - wrong some means of relief; the peti i tioners would not have been so coldly and flippantly turued away. It is a UU watter of the greatest delicacy for the U federal government to interfere to pro tect part of the people of the State from the oppressious aud misrule of Ithe other. It is conceded that it ne ought not to be done for trivial causes; of butit iis ct a light or trivial case it that 300O,00)0 people, all the property of holders of the great State, are being stripped and _despoiled by usurpation la- and fraud; that there ought to be power oand authority adequate in such emer. it, Igency to save, all lovers of honesty and , good government will admit, and it is p-afundamental defect in our system if tcthre be not, in view of the thoughtful 'e wisdom of the authors of our eoustitu u- tion. Are we prepared to render such -judgment, that our constitution of ogovernment is so irreparably defective ? ed jThe complaint of the memornahits is ad that the rulers of the people have he *surped the power to tax property r-owners. not for legislative purposes, nOt to support the government of the rd State, but for the purpose of impover he fishing the taxpayers and ennicngn at themselves; for the purpose of taxinga e the white people down to the level of to the negro. Under the pretence of the mtaxing power they are endeavoring to e- isribteproperty ofowners amngI rthese who have anue. Is this not a iusurpation by the :ilers of the State, - gainst which constitutional guarantee as the itnded to protect ? It is not astemare abuse of the taxing power, e- but the utter perversion of that power in from all legitimate objects of taxation. ra- Can there be a republican form of an overnmienit where this is done, the d main object of the governmient being d the protection of the property of the on itizen and the citizen in the enjoy weuent of his property ?" ee The report quotes from HIami.lton, Calhoun and other authorities as to econstitut?ional gran*-tee, adconcludes at as follows : eeIn view of the whole case, we can tnot hesitate to recommend the appoiut mnent of a committee of both houses of Congress, with power and authority ay to uo into the State of South Carolina eand fully inquire and investiuate into charges and complaint of the memo ralists.

SHIRKING THE RESPONsIBLITy OF RELIEVING OUR GRIEVANCES. What tIte JAdi(.ary Commiftee i f tiwi House (W Representatices s(y o the Pruyer of te South Carolina Taexpaiyers. A-s briefly noted by telegraph, Mr. Tremaine, of the sub.Commaitree of the louse judiciary ciinjittee. jresented on Tuesday to the full committee a re port on the memiorial of the Taxpayers Convention of South Carolina asking for relief against alleged misgo%era meuit inl that S tate. The repwrt was adopted by a majority of that c41omm1t!it tee. T[he cummittee say they (::Iltt re sist. the elvietiwn that tihe extlr:!rd;. nary condition of the peIpile of South Cerolina is owing ill a treat deree to the extrao:inl:a1ry eveuts that have oc curred.and the great cha ges that have been producdA WiEljihi tihe l.t feW ye:rs. for whii her pre,k,nt eitizons1 or the majority theretit are iot proper ly responsible, and which are beyond tilie reach atl cntro! of (ontress. The c:nnmittve refer'in this connec tion to the late civil war, and to the organio changes in the Co:.stitltiton of the l'ultel Slttes. nit for t he purpose of reopening the woun1.ds ea:.ed by that war, but because it is the duty of statesmen who are invoked to aply a remedy to existitg alleged wrongs to ascertain the na.1tulc, extent and origin of these WrongS. The re;ultof the war was the d<-strue tion of slavery. and the loss to the slaveholiders of that State of two hun dred and fifty millions of pr,perty in vested in slaves. Then came the thirteenth. fvurteeath and fifteenth auendments to the conistitution,where by the emancipated slaves becaic clothed with all the attributes of citi zenship, or invested with the right of suffrate. The freediven now ennsti tute a majority of the people there. :nd political power has been traisferred from their former masters t those who while in a state of slavery. were denied all participation in tle rights and priv ileges of American eitizenship.

In the judgmuent of the committee, the real grievauces of the tmemoriali,ts and those they represent relate to these chawges in the constitution. The c-l ored voters of South Carolina are about 0,00o, and the white voters about 40. 000. Couuress has no constitutional power to grant the relief wh ich is asked by the petitioners, in the opinion of the committee. Although this ohjee tion was presented and fully discussed. the preposition was not controverted that Congress could not intervenue ill this case unless the power to act was conferred by s'o:ne express grant in the constitution, or was necessary to carry into execution some power that was conferred. The comnuittee say they are not able to discover the force of the claim made by the petitioners that they are suffe r ig frotn the anti-R~epublican and:I odious oppression of a system of taxa tion without representation, and that Congress h:'s no more right to interfere to disturb the Stat6 governmwent of South Carolina, or to invade the rigzhts f people, than to interfere with the States of New York, Peuusyvaniia o Illinois. The comuiittee further answer the argumeCnts of the ieinoriaists. and say they are fully sensible of the dleli eaev and the impart ance of the ma:t ters presented for their consideration. They wo.uld not withhvld any coi4i tutional aid which cani be exteudc to. the lives. liberties, and property of a ny citizens. but they are unwillin.: to usurp unauthorized authoirity to accoul plish such results. Tihe comunitt.e say they ha:ve coi dence in the finial suecess or the great hases th:at have been brought iufa vor of the A frican race in this eeuntry, fr.tu the intelligence and capacity ex hibited by their representatives in Cogre;s. and by those who :appeaired before t he cowunoitteec they feel ais'-ured they c:lll if they will, est:thlish their rights to I he cou1itme of thle coun:t ry.
