WATER FOR THE CITY.
The Necessity of Providing for the Future.
asIvautuucs or yy;Iufu~for,.s gffuafiOu.
OUR RIVER FRONT AND RAILROAD CONNECTIONS

Much interest is manifested ut this time in the |
subject of supply of water for the city. 1t Isl
matter of great importance as il not only affects
the interests of the tax payers, but on this, as
much perhaps us on anything else, depends the
future prosperity and growth of the city and oil
its business. We want, not only sufficient
quantity of water, but that which is the purcst
and best, both for family purposes and for sup
plying the various manufactures now, and here
after TO be put in operation.
As tax payers, we do not want the city debt
increased unnecessarily. 1t will not be wise how
ever, to look only to the present wants Of the
city. A few THOUSAND dollars judiciously invested
at this time, in purchasing and improving water
rights or buying lands on which to construct
suitable reservoirs for the future wants of the
city, may save the nee essity of spending tens Of
Thousands at future time.
A plan should be adopted sufficiently compre
hchsive to answer for the future wants Of the city.
| In making ON estimates of those wants, and Of
| what Wilmington will be twenty-five or fifty
years hence; we must not lose sight of the .tact
that its location is more favorable for large
manufacturing and commercial city than any
other city in the middle states, except New York.
The Christiana Greek is the first good harbor
above the breakwater and the best harbor from
the Capcs to Philadelphia. II is accessible ut all
| times that steam or sailing vessels can come up
the bay.
From the mouth of the Greek to the foot of
Third street. there is sufficient water for nine
tenths OF the steam and sailing vessels that trade
to and from Philadedha; and on the Delaware,
data
vessel that can reach Philadelphia, or even New
York, via Sandy Hook
This together with the fact that many of the
great railroad lines which will hereafter convey
the produce of the great West the lumber coal,
iron, petroleum, &c. of Pennsylvania, Western
Virginia, Ohio, &C., to the sea board, must event
uay terminate on or near the mouth of the
Chrstiana for the reason that from thirty to fifty
miles of carriage will be saved; and the cheap
and abundant supply of provisions necessary to
sustain large commercial and manufacturing
population, gives to Wilmington advantages pos
sesscd by no other city near II.
1t is very desirable that this whole NATTER not
only the construction OF the works. but the dis
trbuton of the water, should be in the hands of
men who are competent to conduct the necessary
operations, those who have time TO attend to it,
and who will not be influenced by political or
pecuniary considerations. l think that no rea-
sonable person of either party, will object to
placing this matter in the hands of n board OF
commissioners to be appointed by the Chancellor
and Chief Justice, or nominated by the Council,
! and the appointment confirmed by said Judges.
The Commissioners should visit the prominent
cities, ascertain from those who have had the

the unfortunate was Mr.. John Mccoy, of Phila-

THE INFASrcIpE CAsE.-Wc noticed a few
days ago the finding in an old iron pipe, near the
corner of the railroad and Second street, OF the
body of an infant, which the post mortcm exani-
nation proved to have been born alive. The jury
summoned by the Coroner, after several sessions,
concluded their inquest on Wednesday night and
returned their verdict that the child came to It's
death by the hands of person or persons un-
known. Suspicion pointed strongly toward
certain young girl, but as no positive proof could
bc adduced the jury returned the verdict above
stated. There are good many persons who be-
licve that the offer of reward for the detection
of the person who committed the crime would
lead to the discovery Of the criminal.

Our city, am glad to say, has many elements

sale of human beings, nor stake for their torture,
nor scaffold for their legal murder. ! trust that
