River and Barbor Bill.

They Are Not Disp 0sed to Obstruct the
River and Barbor Bill.
SAVANNAH, May 7.-Editor Morning
NelCs: Please give space to the following re-
ply to the article in this mornings NEWS
referring to the memorial by rice planters
asking for protection to their property.
This subject was discussed between @ COM
mittee of the planters and the Hon. Rufus
E. Lester before congress assembled.
By request Of the former the following
resolution was inserted in the bill providing
for deep water:
The Secretary Of War Is hereby author
lied and directed to make or cause to be-
made under his direction a complete survey
OF the Savannah river between Spint Island
and the point where the Charleston aud
Savannah railway crosses the Savannah
river for the purpose of ascertaining whether
the relation of the river to the lands ad-
jacent has been altered
This has been advised by the Secretary of
War and was for the purpose of getting the
necessary data upon which to ask protection
from ths government in any way the en-
gineer department might deem best
This resolution was inserted in the bill
but before passing the House committee all
that portion which coupled the survey with
adjacent lands was stricken out; having tne
effect OF depriving the engineer department
of the right or ability to report upon the
merits of the case. Without any intention
of HantagoniZing the bill, we have gone
before the Senate asking for what we
claimed in the first instance. The rice
planters Of the Savannah river are in no
way disposed to impede the legislation
sought for the deepening of the river.
By the maintenance Of a very expensive
system of dikes they are doing much to
assist in this work. But they claim that
measure Of protection which private prop
erty is entitled to when sacrificed for the
public good; and, moreover. think that the
city of Savannah should give them every
assistance possible
