Norwood made a telling speech?his first set Bpeech?opening: When the morning stars first sang together, it1 would have been worth some dollurs if the Republican party had been preseut. It would never have consented to the oreation of man, unless all should be! equal and upon the same footing. Nine years ago, 4,000,000 of slaves woro set free; the next year, they were invested with civil rights; the third year, thoy wore given tho ballot, and tbe fourth year made rulers of meu. Within that brief space of time, tho negroo6 were made professors of republican doctrines and set up as rulers. History famished no snob parallel. Of the 600,000 Israel? ites who went out from Egypt, but two were found competent to be rulers iu forty years, though tbey were instructed by signs from the great Creator of tho Universe. The Republican party had made 600,000 rnlers in forty minutes, without any assistance. The mun and brother wus taken out of the corn-field and made a Republican statesman by Act of Congress. Sinoo then, the Re? publican party has beaome diseased, and having robbed its Southern neighbors, is uow dividing its time botween philau thropby ns a profession and public plun? der as a trade.

Inquiry ut the offices of the diffi-rcut steamship liuus iu Now York, shows that tho aggregate number of travelers to Europe this season will probably be much less than in 1873. This reduction is generally attributed to the efTec'.s of tho late panic aud unsettled state of the country, whilo many iu consequence cannot afford the luxury of an ocean trip. Others, who could well bear the expense, have deemed it inexpedient tu leave their business, and tins situatiou of many heads of families has kept ut homo their dependants Tho same iu Uuetiue, it is said, bus also probably been excited by tho fuel that there un? tie unusual attractions iu Europe this year, uud by u dread of ocean perils in? spired by the lute disasters. The steamer D. L. Tally, fro in Sei ui it, arrived last night, bringing a horse which putnrcd tho Confederate service iu 1801, iu Garrity's battery, Alabama State Artillery.

Report of the Sooth Carolina Me? morial ?Mr. Tremain, of the Sub Committee of tbe House Judiciary Com? mittee, presented, on tbe 28th, to tbe full committee, a report ou tbe memo? rial of tbe Tax-payers' Convention of South Carolina, asking for relief aguiuat ?ho alleged misgovernmentiu tbat Stute. The report was udopted by a majority of that committee. The committee say they caunot resist tu? conclusion that tho extraordinary coudition of tbe peo? ple of South Carolina is owing, in a great degree, to tho extraordinary events that have occurred und the great ohunges that have been produced within the lust few years, for which her present citi? zens, or the majority thereof, are not properly responsible, und which ure be? yond the reach und eoutrol of Cougress. The committee refer, in this connection, to the lute civil war und to tho organic changes in tbe Constitution of the j United States, not for the purpose of re-opening the wounds caused by that war, but because it is the duty of btntes tueu who aro invalid to apply ;i remedy t j existing alleged wrongs to ascertain the nature, exteut und nrigiu of those wrougs. The result of the wiir was the destruction of slavery ami lb"! loss to tbe tduvoholdcrs of that State of 62?I), 000,000 irf property invested in tluves. Then oaiun tiiu thirteenth, fourteenth and tif:eeuth amendments to the Consti? tution, whereby tbe emancipated slave became clothed with ull tho attributes of citizenship, and iuvibtcd with tho right of suffrage. The freednicn now consti? tute u majority of the people there, und political power has bt'eu transferred from their former musters to those who, while in a state of slavery, wero deuied all participation iu the rights und privi? leges of American citizenship. What? ever evils muy uriso from political power in the band of Hie freedtneu, tbe re? sponsibility therefor rests not with (hem, but with the poople of the United States, they haviug udopted tbe amend? ments, and they alone having the power to change the Constitution. In the judgment of the committee, the real grievances of the memorialists aud those whom they represent relate to these I changes in the Constitution. The co lored voters of .South Carolina are about 510,000, and the white voters 40,000. Congress bus no constitutional power to grant the relief which is uskud by the petitioners, iu tho opinion of the com? mittee. Although' this objection wus presented aud fully difoust>ed, the pro? position was not controverted that Cou? gress could i' it intervene iu this case, uuless tho potver to act was conferred by home express grant in the Constitution, or was necessary to carry iuto execution some power that was conferred. The committee suy that they are not able to discover the furoe of the claim made by the petitioners, that they uro ?ufforiug from the anti-Republican and odious op? pression of u system of taxation without representttiou, and that Congress bus ! no more right to interfere to disturb the State Government of South Carolina, or 10 invade tho rights of the people, than to interfere with tho States of Now York, Pennsylvania or Illinois. The committee further answer the arguments of the memorialist;;, and say they are fully sensible of tho delicacy and tho importance of tho mat:em presented for their coueideratiou. They would not withhold uuy constitutional aid which can bo extended to tho lives, liberties and property of uuy citizens, but they are uuwiiliug to usurp unauthorized au? thority to accomplish Midi results. The committee say they have confidence iu tbe lio il success of the groat changes I bat have beeu wrought iu favor of tbe Africau lace iu thiH country, from tho intelligence aud capacity exhibited by their representatives in Congress, aud by those who appeared before the com? mittee. They feel insured they cm, if they will, estublish their rights lo the confidence of the country. It is hnpod that with the advantages afforded now of education, and with the eagerness tbey display ?o avail themselves of its bene? fits, they will he found fully equul to the dignity uud duties of their uewly-nc quired citizenship. It is believed that by tho mutual interchange of kiud and friendly intercourse, and by employ? ment of all those menus which aro found sufficient iu other States, rxistiDg evils in tho administration ot the affairs of South Carolina may ho rcinediol by the people themselves. The committee, therefore, report a resolution, tbat the prayer of the memorialists be deuied, and the committee discharged from the further consideration of tbe subject. Refisemknt of Cruelty.?While the alluviul districts of Louisiana tire ruined by the Hood, and there is not euoiigb saved from tho disaster to support tbe people a week or to muhe seed for tbe next crop, the remorseless despotism of Kellogg persists iu the mockery of col? lecting taxes. We uro told by tbe local papers, tbat not only is this true, but that in ull parts of tho State, which suf? fers pecuniarily all it can bear iu addi? tion to the destruction by the flood, tho evils of this untimely and criminal ter? rorism of taxation uro enhanced by ex? orbitant fees aud costs. Tho tax col? lectors hunt down their vioiiuis with tbe zest of fiends. A gloomy und u fearful picture is drawn of tbe suffering which this sort of tyranny aggravates, and of tho despair to which it goad?. Wo find a single sentonce iu the New Orleans liulletin, which tells tbe who hi sud story: "Wheu tho oourt bus to be held on trestle-work to keep out of the flood, and the bar and prosecuting uttoruoy for the State have to stand iu skiffs while tiiey pleud, it is rather bard to ask for or give judgments against tbe unhappy owners of the solid ground, whoso exact position below has to bo ascertained by soundings." -? ?. - Iu Beech Island, S.

Bot.?The particulars of the startling murder ol a child by a boy named Jesse Poineroy, at Boston, the detection of the orime, the arrest of the criminal und his confession exhibit an extraordinary record in the murderer's career. He is fifteen years of age. His last victim, whom he stubbed and horribly mutilated, and then threw into a marsb, was four yeaia of age. His previous victims were nu? merous. One was a son of Mr. Payne, of Ohelsea, who was, abont Christmas, 1871, taken byPomeroy to Powder Horn Hill, stripped naked, tied to a beam, beaten with a rope, and left helpless. Tracey Hayden, another boy, was, on February 21, 1872, btripped, tied op and beaten with a board and ropes, by which some of his teeth were knocked out, the bridge of his nose brokon, and other more serious injuries inflicto 1. Jol nay Batch was enticed to Powder Horn Hill soon after July 4, 1872, stripped, tied to a beam, gagged, heuten, and then taken to a salt water creek and washed. Ro? bert G ?uld, iu September of the same year, was tukeu from South Boston to the vicinity of the Hartford and Erie Railroad, stripped, tied to a telegraph pole, whipped, uud cut iu the head with a kuife. Henry Austin, in August of the same year, was, itt South Boston, stripped, beaten, and cut in the back und groiu with a knife. George Pratt, about tho Fame time, was onticed into the cabiu of a yacht at South Boston, i stripped, punctured with needles and I pins in different parts of his body, and I left insensible and bleeding. Joseph Kennedy, about tho same time, was taken to a place on the Old Colony Road iu South Boston, and maltreated abont as the Gould boy had been. These boys were all of tender age, from seven to eleven years old. For these offences, ho was sent to the Reform School in 1h79. but in tbut institution his condnot was so good, that he was pardoned oot on the Gth of February last, on the petition of bis mother, who is a dress-maker. 14,400 Square Miles of Territory Under "Water.?We saw yesterday a complete diagram of the flooded coun? try in Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkan? sas, prepared from notes compiled and furnished by T. S. Hardee, Civil Engi? neer. From this map, we ascertain that the enormons extent of 14,400 square miles of the best cotton growing region of tho three States mentioned are under water. The belt embraced in this is 480 miles long by 30 wide. The crops in this wide extent of territory are, as a mutter of course, totally destroyed, and it will bo too lato wbeu the water sub? sides to replant. The destruction caused by this great overflow must necessarily exercise a considerable influence npon the coming cotton crop, and the price of the staple next, full and winter will pro? bably be much higher than was antici? pated before thia unlooked-for occur? rence. There uro fifteen crevasses in the Mississippi levees, through which the water is still pouring in large vo? lume, and the injury to tho planters in* tho unfortunate section may be even greater than is now apparent. Still, what is now before us is appalling in the extreme. \Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel.
