A delegation of fifty Philadelphians
have been in Washington waiting upon
the Commerce Committee to urge liberal
appropriations for improving the Della
ware river, and returned home last
night Colonel Ludlow of the Engi
neer Corps, spoke Of the river Obstruc.
tions and Of the channel; Mr.. Smith,
President of the Select Council, spoke
Of the growing commerce ofthe port and
gave statistics; Philip Fitzpatrick, ship
owner, spoke of the Importance OF
the coasting trade, and described
1t; Mr.. Mexican, Of the Ledger, maze
quite a long speech, in which he
explained the difficulties now ex.
perienced by commerce, showing that
ships now are of deeper draft than
formerly, and therefore run greater
risks on the Delaware. He also said
that there we're now 800 coasting YES
sells aggregating 300, 900 tons, that have
to 90 thirty miles in the dark because
Of inadequate lights. lie said all that
Was asked was $500, 900 to remove all
the distractions of the Delaware, while
over 81 100000 had been appropriated
to remove one obstruction (H-ll Gate)
from New York harbor.
Representative Ward:of Pennsylvania,
took the ground that as a direct money
making investment the Emitted States
could do nothing better than make the
Delaware River capable Of carrying all
the tonnage that was offered. He showed
that within S yeas vessels of 81, 900, 900
value had been built on the Delaware;
that there were S4s, 600, 900 Of exports,
increase Of 80, 900 600 over 1877, and
81 100000 of imports; that the port Of
Philadelphia paid in customs duties
and tonnage tax in 1878 nearly IS, OOO,-
600, which was an increase of nearly
81 800, 900 over 1877; that the number
of foreign vessels passing up the river
was 1888, the largest for ten years, and
the coastwise, j,O3G; that 5000 pas
sengers were carried by the foreign lines
ana that the aggregate passenger traffic
around Philadelphia, foreign, coastwise
and ferry boats, aggregated nearly H.,
600, 900 persons.
This was exclusive Of the business of
the port of Wilmington, Del. Mr.. Ward
said that If this vast amount of bust
ness had been done with the present
condition for navigsble pur
poses described here, 1t was q plain
business proposition to ask what could
be additionally gathered in revenue
when the channel of the river should
be open, unobstructei, we'll lighted and

be well for the public to know how d
assessor attends to his duties in N
Hundred, and take this means in We,
tilating the matter. We have :,
amined the book which he hung up
the Court House door, aud found ,
follows:
First, That q large number of b,
publicans some of whom have r-.ii.
in this city for several years, or. n,
on, nor have they ever been.
Second, That all or nearly all n
Democrats no matter IL just arrived
the State, or just became Of age, are 4.
sessed.
Third, That all the Democrats vii
were returned as errors one year All
are assessed.
FOurth.-That none Of the RspubI
cans who were returned as errors \
the past two years are assessed, I'd
will tLey BIZ unless they lose day frc|
their work, and go before the Levi
Court with freeholder, and make al
davit that they are the persons tn.
represent themselves to be.
After the assessment was made
was hung up at the Court House doc
and notice pasted thereon that on
certain day the assessor would 81, ,
the Court House TO correct enron
This notice as far a. it concerns
very large number of men VII
have come from other states, amounts
to nothing, except as to the Democrat.
portion; they are all right, but the R.
publicans will have to go before ,L
Levy Court or else wait another ye.
and then unless they are sharp Ii
same game will be played.
This Is how New Castle Hundr,
gives such large Democratic majoriti,
With fair assessment and collie
ton of taxes we could equal q
at least cut down the majority 4
such q small number as to max
some people open their eyes. We wou,
like to call the attention of not oul,
