WILMINGTON, MARCH 2, 1876.
OUB WASTING KESOlKlES.
The City of Wilmington has the means
of supplying her citizens with water, with
out the necessity for taxation, if proper
steps were taken in
This is a matter we mean to
again and again present to the
public ear, until the people awaken to a
knowledge of the enormous advantages
daily wasted at our very doors. We do
not charge that the municipality of Wilm
ington, nor its leading men lack public
spirit—but both these lack foresight, and
a keen self-interest. There is not to he.
found according to our best information
save in one other instance, in the entire
United States, such a combination of
water power and tide water transit, as is
to be found within the limits of this city.
There is a daily waste of sixteen hun
dred horse power, flowing into the Christ
iana, a power if worked to the needs of
industry, and used, would add 10,000 to
our population within three years, or as last
as houses could be built for them, and Jthe
wages earned by the workers of such a
population would amount to at least 81,
070,000 per annum, lntlie many pros
pects to left the city up into higher rank,
her mightiest means of elevation have
been overlooked.
If a sum of money equivalent to that
expended upon the Cold Spring Reservoir,
were used in acquiring the riparian rights
of the Brandywine from their owners,
the erection of buildings, construction of
a dam, and locks, ample water supply
would be foi \ er secured, and a revenue
founded, ear.;:in to pay all the expense of
supplying the city with water free of
charge forever.
A dam constructed at or about the line
of the bridge, up to about tlie level of the
present races, would back the supply over
the existing dam,tlie water in the lowerdam
conld be used during the working hours of
the day for mill purposes, to till again at
night, while the water from the upper or
present dam could be used at night for
the water works; any one looking at the
waste Irom the race above, and either
sides of the bridge even in midsummer
must be struck at the feasibility of this,
project. Go a step further, alter the
bridge, if the county politicians who
dominate the Levy Court, are too hos
tile to Wilmington to give us a new one;
put a lock in the proposed dam, and you can
float up coal, lime, cotton; anything from
the tide-water, to the great factories which
ought to liue each side of the Brandywine
for a mile, to Jessup's, Riddle's, Bancroft's,
nay to the Dujiont's. The same means of
transportation would be had for the product
of the mills, and for tlie immense quan
tities of building, paving and curbing
stone which await tlie wand of some
Prospero to call them into life and use.
Factory after factory is being closed in
Philadelphia because of the high price of
power, arising from taxation, rent, ex
clusive use of steam, expensive drayage,
and other causes. Our county has already
been benetitted iron this trouble of
our neighbors. Let it be known in Phila
delphia that her carpet weavers can have
cheaper pwwer, in a city where there is
church, school, and market facilities equal
to, orsupeiior to those of Philadelphia,
and as seen as the power would be ready
to rent, it would be taken, and the house
less hills of the Brandywine, would be
covered with the home*of an industrious

and thrifty people. Every one is interest

THE VSCHAStiESliLE JEWISH
HAVE.
There is in the city of Philadelphia, an
"Association far the Promotion of Christi
unify among the Jews," and we have with
and indeed some pleasure, read and
care,
noted its last annual report. For many
"one Jew" was the sum of conVer
years
sion, this year tlie lruition has been great
'Five Jews," says the report, "have
placed themselves undrr instructions, of
whom three were converted."
er—
Seriously, is it wise to maintain
ganization, with a paid secretary and
paid missionary, wlto control and spend
rnanv thousands of dollars per annum,
made up of monies cast into the treasury
of the organization, with as pure and as
worthy motives, as those of the widow,
who, in tlie presence of Christ, gave her
ite in the Temple, for the purposes of
religion; to purchase the adhesion ofthree
persons, to any Denomination of Christian
ity, when the experience of the past, with
out exception, proves that a return to the
Jewish belief js always a concomitant of
age, ill-health, or impending death. We
have known professionally three converted
Jews, and in our experience they were the
perf'ectien of consummate rascality—drift
ed Irom the fai(h of Abraham, Isaac and
•Jacob; scoffing at the Lawgiver Moses;
sneering at the "New Dispensation," al
though pensioned believers of its doc
trines, [ike rudderless ships upon tlie
ocean, they were moral wrecks, acting any
role which procured profit. This is strong
language, but true to the letter.
Wu have no faith in the usefulness of
this organization, and the money and
piety expended were better used, togather
into their affiliated denomination, the
street Arabs who infest every sunny spot,
in winter, and every shady nook in sum
mer, to profane Sunday—and teach each
other vice, in the 1844 years which have
come and gone, since the crucifixion o'f
our Lord, save the change in the Apostolic
times, but few Jews have honestly be
come Christians.
The Jews have a religious history, of
which they may be proud. Every form of
persecution which the malignant iugenu
ity of man could devise, they have been
subjected to—ar.d have survived all. To
day they are more numerous, and more
solidly impress the world, than at any
other period of history.
Through robbery, insult, torture and
every conceivable form of outrage and in
justice, they have marched on through the
ages and centuries, preserving the faith
and pursuing the course marked
out by their prophets and guides ;
and can they now be coaxed or cajoled
into abandoning what they have so
long adhered to in spite of persecution in
its most terrible forms? We have no
confidence in tlie sincerity of Jewish con
verts to Christianity, and do not believe
that the Association for the conversion of
the Jews will find that Christianity has
gained anything by the capture of the
Israelites referred to in the last report of
that institution.
Were it not true wisdom, to leave
the " chosen race " to Providence, the
seal of the Creator is upon them. They
have borne u through Egyptian bondage
as the mural paintings of tlie pyramids
show, through the desert, under the
judges, end the glory and greatness of their
kings. The tears shed while a captive
people, by the waters of Babylon, effaced
not a line ot the physiognomy of the
race. Religious, political, aud social
ostracism for eighteen centuries have made
no change. The Jew cannot be altered,
as other men, by change of clime and
condition. To-day the unerring stamp of
the race, is to be found in every place of
exchange, or mart of commerce in the
civilized world. The husbandmen of the
valley of Vistula, the horse dealer of the Li
banus, the itinerant trade of Persia, tlie
shopkeeper of Wilmington, are as much
like each other as twin brothers. Why?
No man knoweth. To our mind a Jew, for
some wise purpose of Providence, is a Jew
and as a rule it spoils him sadly to make
him anything else,

It seems almost impossible for the House
to lc t the played out Secession alone. It is
the intrenclimcnt from behind which the
Republican party fight. They bring it
at every opportunity, and provoking the
Southern members to speak in answer, the
shout goes up all over the country tha» the
rebel yell is again heard in Congress. We
thought that the folly of Mr. Blatne in his
blatancy in the Amnesty Bill discussion had
been plainly enough seen to let this matter
drop from debate governed by parliamenta
ry laws. _

for ridicule that The Herald is a cent

Tbs failure of the C&rlist movement
has been indeed a tad blow to the leader,
as by euch disaster to himself he baa been
foiled in a movement that had many ad
mirers, and laid waste the forlnuea of an
ambition he had struggled with great per
tinacity to accomplish. He has had to
take refuge in a foreign country, and like
many other insurrectionary leaders will
leave but little behind him to mark
brilliant career.
The Philadelphia "Evening Telegraph"
says that before the Board of Finance can
obtain the $1,500,000 voted by Congress to
aid the Centenntial, it must file a bond as a
guarantee for its proper disbursement. A
bond is now being prepared which will be
signed by 100 citizens of Philadelphia and
to represent $100,000,000. Sixty signa
tures to the document were obtained up to
this morning.
A resolution has been introduced into
the Pennsylvania Legislature to make the
10th day of Maya public holiday. This
seems very fitting as it will be upon that
day that the Centennial Exhibition begins,
aud the great event that it is intended to
celebrate could receive no better recogni
tion than this from the people.
