Theo $itei,'rThe COStM and ugetiu;ctonst for Utillaig What has Been )one. The Canal, as originally construct ed for the purpose of flat boat navi gation, extended from Bull Sluico to a point near Old Granby, a distance of nearly five miles. The prosont work, enlarging and deepening the old Canal for the purpose of fur nishing a large volume of water for manufacturing purposes, commences at the foot of Gorvais street and has been extended through Comotory Hill, a distance of about one and one-third miles. This work has been partially completed, and but for tle freshet in May last would have been entirely completed, leaving the Canal yet to be completed to Bull Sluice. a distance of about one and two thirds miles from the present ter minus, near Cemetery Hill. Wlieii completed to Bull Sluice there imiust be built a stone dam across the Broad River over seventeen hundred feet long and the necessary appurtenaii ces thereto, to regulate the quantity of water to be forced into the Canal. This work is estimated to cost sixty eight thousand dollars, which is an exceedingly low estimate for a dam of that length. When this is all completed to this point--the Cana! and dam and its appurtenances --the Canal will be completed a little more than half of its original length. in other words, to get the benelit of it it must be carried on from Gervais street to the old terminus at a point noar Granby, a distance of twc miles. The topography of the country from Cemetery llill to the Broad River Bridge, which is near iiull Sluice, viewed from Cemeter Hill, is low and flat, entirely unsuite l on either side of the Canal for mill iios, as is subject to overflow in high water, and, in adlition, it presents no sites for factory dwellings. The fall above and just below the Bro-id River Bridge is only ton feet, which would require too much water to propel a given amount of machinery. A twenty-foot fall would only re quire only one-half of the amount required on a ten foot fall. The fall at Cemetery Hill is sixteen feet, and it increases gradually from this point to about twenty-nino feet below the ' Penitentiary. No good mill sites could be seen from Cemetery Hill to Gervais stroot, but just above the Penitentiary a site was pointed out that could be utilized if' fifteen thou sand dollars in nioney al labor was expended to build a tionel mitder the Canal to carry the water used back into the river. At Gervais stroot begins, in our judgment, the mill sites, and from this point to the terminus of the old Canal both sites for mills and suita ble ground for the erection of the operatives' houses can be obtained. The first two sites below Gervais street belong to-Green and - Green; the next, a tract of one1 hun dred and twventy -five acres on each side of the Canal, belongs to Colonel S. A. Pearce. Just below this is four 'hundred acres of land bieloniginug to Green, and belowv this tract is a body of land containing seventy-two - acres, belonging to the State of South 'Carolina. Under a second resolution of your 'honorable bodies, the Coummittee wals also authorized to inquire and report upon what terms the City of Column bia would take the Canal and coim. plete it. After conferring with Hon. John T. 1U ott, Mayor, and his laying the matter~ before the Clity' Coun'cil, they declined to tako it, on the ground that the bity is largely indebted and is precluded by the Constitution of this State from con tracting. any larger debt. The cost of the Canal to the State, up to thig ist November, 1880, as nearly as could be ascertained, is as -fogows : Money app)rop)riated and -. expended, forty.-eight thousand eight hundred and three 17-100 dollars; o cost of feeding, guarding and cloth ing the convicts so employed has beenu ninetf4wo thousand five hundred and fifty-three 10-i00 dlollars; 'anil to this should be added the value of the labor so employed, which, -when calculat&d atbsix dollars per -month for each convict so employed, amoulnts to sixty thousand six hun dred dollars, amounting in the ag gregate to two hundred and one thou sand nine hiundrod and fifty,gix (17 100 dollars as amount of money and * the valte and cost of the labor so employed. In conclusion,, we. would suggest the following p)lanfto be adopted by .the General Assembly: Either stop blie work where it now. is, having the *head or check dam at Cemetery Hill strengthened, so as to koop out the waters of any freshet which may eme, and leave the work to be fini i;:iu(l loroafter, if the stlto should ev:r got able to mudrtalko it; or turn tho Clnlal over to the Directors of the i!onitontiary, and lot them au thorize til Superintendent of the now and 01(1 Cnual at Cototery Hill, widon antd deepen the old Canal from that point to Bull Sluice, con struct ia dam at that point sufliciently high to force wnter enough into the Canal for use at the Penitentiary and City Water 1Works, and for that piurposo that i foe -Board be authorized to use convict, lalbor suflicient, and to uso five thousand 'dollars of the not earnings of the Penitentiary, if so much ho neeVSNary. As I la point, there must be somle t-('w-(r-ge arTalngo1nents n11atlo slild tihe+ Canalitl 1e completed.

Eiuron RECORD : I do not want the appointment, nor would I accept 3, it if offered to me, and I am very i sorry that I feel called upon to write this letter asking you to give it space. We Democrats until now have had no showing "at government b pap" since the war. After under- c going all the hardships of the past C and capturing the citadel, I think ti that those of us who are competent p should enjoy the fruits of the victory. This matter is brought forcibly to lh my mind by the removal of' Mr. p Sloan from a position in the U. S. 1 Revenue Department. I do not pre. tend to question Col. Bradley's right f to make removals and appointments n at will, but I believe that I voice ,he ri sentiment of the people and the partiy s which has honored him when I say 1 that he has taxed their good patience just a little too much when he turns out a competent and deserving Dem ocrat without assigning good and sul cient cause, and ignores the hundred and odd thousand Democrats of the ( State to whom he owes his own posi- d tion and appoints a man to fill the ti place who is a Republian, and no. C toriously so in 1876, being a leader, g if I am correctly informuecd, among the people who, with guns in their tt hands, disputed the right of the Wal- ti lace House (of which I believe Col. fi Bradley was i member) to enter the State House, and would, at the coin- - mnand of John B. Dennis, have stain- ( ed his hand in the best blood of the w State. c I am not writing in the interest of Mr. Sloan. lie is out now, and being " a young man of honesty and ability, and withal deservedly popular with d his fellov'-men, can very well take care of himself; but we feel that his cause is ours, and although we old Confederate Democrats have become accustomed and reconciled to the I advaneement of the "young Demo cracy" over us, we have not yet. y reached the point that we can quick- t l3' swallow such a (lose as Col. Brad- 1 ley has given us. W itli C t. Lit- c tIe's individual capacity for the po- e sition I have nothing to do. I have no doubt that his experience during "the dark (lays" in the Rcvenue e partment render him a very useful clerk, but I know there are plenty of our young men fully capable to pe' form any of the duties connected with the department. It is Col. Brad ley's duty, in the exercise of his up- a pointing power, to give them due consideration. The whole thing appears so mon strous on its face that I am forced to the conclusion that Col. Bradley's v appointment of Capt. Little is 01113' a temporary, and that when he "catches up" with his work in the department c he will do what is only right and f .just--appoint a Democrat. -Columbia Record, Dec.
