Committee Makes Investiga.
lions Along the Savannah
River.

The special committee appoint
ed at the last session of the legia-
lature to investigate the dams on
the Savannah river, as to whether
they we're maintaining proper fish
ways had its first meeting in Au-
gusta, on Tuesday, the 14th inst.
The members of the committee
are Senator J. r. Earle, of Oconee
county, and Representatives, E.
ne. Rucker, of Anderson, and B.
e. Nicholson of Edgefeld. After
organizing the committee went up
to the locks, and inspected the
dam and fish way, and found that
IN their opinion, the present fish
way would not allow tho passage
of fah up the river, and is not at
an satisfactory. The committee
also found that the Savannah
river is being fished with nets,
.fisk traps, aud other contrivances,
SO srlch an extent below the dam
stbatEit is very difficult for fish to
eyer reach the dam. After visiting
the locks the committee conferred
with the authorities of the city
of Augusta, with q view to secur-

Patterson Busy With Pensions.

A most remarkable case CT last
week was that of R. 1. Sissop, of
South Carolina, heard before the
committee on claims. Congress-
man J. O. Patterson introduced a
bill to refund to Sisson the
amount of loss Of personal proper
ty sustained by him while IN the
service of the government, and
was given bearing on the same
this week. He very strongly laid
before the committee the facts,
te ipg how Sisson had been keep
el :. the lighthouse on the little
Island of Daufuchie, just off the
coast of Carolina and near the
city of Savannah, Ca, for the
past thirty years; recalled the
facts of history concerning ter
rife storm which swept all of his
personal property to ruins. BY bis
persuasive appeal for Sisson ne
obtained favorable report on his
bill, which enjoys the distinction
of being possibly the first ever Sc
cured on any bill Of just this ma
ture.
Mr.. Patterson has also been
doing some very active work be-
fore the committee on pensions
lately. He has taken up and
pressed to favorable report the
increase Of pensions from SIS to
$12 per month. for two widows OF
the Indian War veterans, viz
Mrs. Carrie ,crotter, of Saluda
and Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Lang
ford, of Brunson : a Mexican Wal

amount of increase. Mrs. Satire
