Bring the Factor les.

The long continued squabblc over
the ownership Of the Columbia canal
has ut last been settled. The parties
claiming to own it have rclinquishcd
all claim in consideration of grant OF
five hundred horse power of water at
the foot of Gervais or Bridge street,
and the supply of water for the water
power company. The remainder of
this magnificent property is in the
undisputcd ownership Of the State.
The force that can be obtained is
estimated at from ten to thirteen thou
sand horse power, several thousand
more than that possessed by Lowell,
with the additional advantage that the
Congarcc never freezes over, and the
factories can run all the year. Steps
arc taking to- utilize this dead capital
at once, and 1t is hoped that the mani
fest destiny Of Columbia will soon be
realized. As manufacturing city
Columbia can become great; while the
Influence Of the thousands of spindlcs
at work on the banks Of the Congarcc
will infuSc life into a(l the surrounding
region, and rcvolrtiohizc the indus
tries of the entire State. It has been
shown that cotton cnn be manufactur-
cd here at several cents per pound less
than it costs i'll the North, while the
advantages from converting Inc lint
Into fabrics without having the inter-
mediate stage Of packing and com
pressing, which injurcs the fabrics, arc
said to be very great Let the facto-
rics coms at once. Bring down the
wcaVors and spinncrs of the Northern
cities who arc now out Of work, and
fill our waste places with sturdy
population.

AGNES JENKs' Farewell.
On the meeting OF the committee on
Monday Boulds Baker with right hand up
lifted and eyes closed heard the chairman
recite the usua! oath of witness, ana then
refused to be sworn in that form. He was
excused from further attendance pending
the consideration Of his case by the CON-
mittee. Gen. Butler afterward stated that
there was law to compel the witness to be
sworn and to testify, even in the recess OF
Congress. Mrs. jerks was again re- called
and said she had not seen Secretary Sher-
man since she had been in Washington.

ABRoTHER OF WEBER.
Emile Weber read statement to the
commmittee. He said he had in conversa-
ton with Mr.. Sherman explained to him
that his brother thought his parish had gone
Democratic and he was disposed to take
back his protest. whereupon Mr. Sherman
assured him that his brother would be
cared for and requested that he send his
brother to him. His brother, on the day
he received it, showed him the letter of as
surance and said he had received it direct
from Mr.. Sherman. Weber was familiar
with the hand writing of Mr.. Sherman, and
was satisfied that the letter was written by
that gentleman in 1877. The letter was q
subject of great modification to the Weber
family, and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Danial
Weber, had endeavored to find it among the
papers of her husband, which were packed
away In two trunks and large shoe box
late in the summer of 1877. He (witness) had
made search for the letter and had found
1t In q shoe box and destroyed 1t forthwith.
Mrs. jerks has been in no way connected
