The Dam Aoro.. the Congaree.

There was quite an interesting meet
ing. yesterday, in the State Library
Room. in response to the invitation Of
the committee of the General Assembly,
asking an expression of opinion, on the
part of the citizens. as to the propriety
of granting the Columbia Water Power
Company the privilege OF placing their
dam across the Congaree at the peni.
tentiary. A number of our most intel
ligent and reliable white citizens we're
present, aud the colored population was
even more largely represented. Dr. F.
W. Green expressed the opinion that the
construction Of the dam at the point
proposed, would have an injurious effect
upon the health Of the city. We did not
hear the Doctors statements, and, there
fore, are unable to report or pass jndg-
ment upon the grounds upon which he
bases them.
DR.. G.. 8. Trezevant sustained views
diametrically opposite to DIR. Green
holding that the effect of the dam would
be beneficial rather than otherwise.
Major Theodore Starke warmly advo-
Gated the granting of the privilege ap-
piled for by the company. and expressed
q deep interest in the development of
the canal, as matter of the greatest
importance to the future growth and
prosperity of Columbia.
General Stolbrand, the Snperintend-
ent OF the State Penitentiary, vehe-
mently opposed the new dam. He grew
very much excited in the course OF his
remarks. and denounced the Water
Power Company as q sham concern, that
only wished to secure monopoly Of our
water power, in order to keep other
capitalists out. and without any honest
intention of utilizing it Themselves. He
asserted that all the work that had been
done was simple mockery; that the con-
tract had rot been complied with; aud
urged that the Legislature investigate
the matter, annul the agreement with
the Spraghes, and let the canal revert to
the State, that it may be developed for
the good of the people. He maintained.
further, that the location of the dam OF
the penitentiary would render the quarry
useless, and cause dead loss to the
State OF all the rock there; and that it
would be impossible for the Water
Power Company to furnish, for the use
OF the penitentiary shops, sufficiency
OF water power, as they we're now COM
pelled to do.
Col. Pearce replied. that he had fully
complied with his contract with the
State, in tho increase Of the capacity OF
The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1872-02-22

the cannl; and that he would see to it
that the necessary water power be se-
cured to the penitentiary. The COM
pany. he said, composed Of the Messre.
Sptague aud himself, had already laid
out 500. 900 in Columbia. in the pur-
chase of real estate and upon the work
on the oaaal-whieh. though but small
amount compared to what they expected
finally to invest here, was an earnest, at
least, of the bona fde character OF their
Columbia enterprise.
General E. p. Alexander stated to the
committee. that from an inspection Of
the work that had been done, it was his
impression that the capacity of the old
canal had bsen quadrupled. Upon the
subject of the new dam, he gave his
opinion strongly in its favor. In his
Judgment. not more than 1000 horse
power could be pro6tably utilized by q
dam above Geiger's MILL This, said he,
is mere baby, compared to the giant
power which can be had at the peniten-
tiary. He held that the placing tho dam
ut the latter point wss most highly de-
sirable, and unobjeotionable in every re-
speot. AS to the water power for the
penitentiary, he said that would easily
be trsnsmissible by means of wire ropes
to any point within the yard that might
be preferred. Az to the quarry, he
stated it to be his opinion that the de-
privation OF the use of it in building the
penitentiary would not be loss to the
State of more than 50, 600 or So, 900.
Col. F. W. McAlaster discussed at
some length, and with much earnest
ness. the great advantages which Colum-
bia and the State would reap from the
development of the canal, and the esta-
biishment OF mills and manufactures
that would follow. In comparison, he
said, the loss OF tho quarry was mere
bagatelle, and reminded him of on anec-
dote OF old Col. Taylor. who lamented
having sold the land upon which Colum-
bia is built. on the ground that he Lad
spoilt good plantation to make sorry
town.
Mr.. James E. Black. Secretary Of the
Board OF Trade. expressed himself. aud
also unofioially gave the opinion of the
Board, as strongly in favor of granting
the necessary legislation to construct the
dam at point where the greatest power
can be obtained.

French vanity has been somewhat hurt
OF late at the knowledge that Prince
Bismarck writes his dispatches to the
French Government in the German Ian
gnage, Notwithstanding the French ia
the generally recognized language of
diplomacy. The Patrie, however, comes
to the rescue, and explains. The foreign
office at Berlin. it says, replies in French
to all nations which communicate with it
in this language-France excepted-and
thus respects the old diplomatic tradi-
ton. To the governments which write
to it in their own languages. such as
England, the United States, Spain and
Italy. it answers in German, according
to u measure of reciprocity, which may
easily be understood. AS France, there
fore, sends dispatches in her own Ian
guage, Bismarck, following his adopted
rule, replies in German.

Disastrous F1RE.-Y Yesterday morn.
ing. the fine dwelling house of our aged
aud reyered friend, Mr.. Samuel Nj. Ste.
venson, was discovered to be on fire.
The inmates of the house were sitting
in the house, unconscious of their dar.
ger and great misfortune. until servant
run in and informed them that the roof
Of the building was wrapped in flames.
With but two hands on the place, OF
course nothing could be done to check
the devouring element. In few hours,
the dwelling, kitchen and smoke house,
and all out-buildings. except the car
riage. house, on the West side OF the
public road, were in ashes. The furn-
ture was saved. but slightly damaged.
and with but very little loss; but, not.
withstanding this, Mr.. Stevenson's loss
cannot be less thun $4,000.
