TIE Republican will eat crow to-day
over the returns of Maine. We are
sorry that we cannot sympathize with
the poor thing. But we cannot do it.
In fact we feel ready to assist to kill
the "fattened calf" and have "a good
time" over tho prodigal Maine. TIC
he sure we are precluded the feas.
since the victory is not all Democratic
but it nevertheless is delightful to wit
ness the jollity of the Anti-Garfeld
victors and imagine the grimac IS
which the Stalwart Republicans make
over the "crow pie" of which the Fu-
sionists have made their opponents
| partake.
The Republican had made every ar
rangement for announcing ga glorious
Republican victory in Maine," f'ten
thousand majorityr' "Blaine leads
the van of the Garfield hosts!"
But, alas, the Republicans calcula-
tions are all knocked into ''pie," by
the returns, and ON Tuesday instead
of publishing victory in Maine and
witnessing the effect of "a furious fire
upon the retreating ranks" of the
Democracy; it is compelled to take
back all its glowing pi edictions, and
admit that they were all made up for
effect by saying 200 wsre not soithout
our nisgiUfngs in regard to the result" +"
How then shall we believe the Repu6-
hean in the future? We cannot do it.
When it boasts next week of what the
Garfield party will do In Indiana and
Ohio, its readers will be forcibly re-
minded of what it predicted of Maine,
and which the next day it said it did
not believe itself. Now, when the Re
publican does not credit it's own stories
how can it expect others to believe it
when it makes political predictions,-
This is just the case with the Republi-
can in regard to Wilmington. 1t said
in 1877 and 1878 that Wilmington
would give its party a majority; it said |
the same thing in 1879. But it did not |
believe its own utterances; nor does it |
believe what it says now of this city,
county or State. We shall now dis
miss the feast it invited the GAZETTE
TO witness and let the Republican en-
joy its "crow" on the deck of the salt |
river craft from Maine in peace, hop
ing it will receive tidings from Indiana |
and Ohio even more disastrous to its
appetite than the news from Maine.

AN IMPORTANT WoRK.-The Ma
tional Dredging Company as has been
heratnfore stated, arc performing an
important work on the Christiana, and
In front Of this city on the Delaware
River, in filling up and reclaiming low
marsh land. Some twenty acres in
one body on the south side of the
Christiana within the city limits have
already been raised seven to nine feet.
The bitches that run through it are no
longer visible, and by next spring
it will be ready for cultivation should
the owners see proper to rent it for
that purpose. In addition many hun
dred feet along the river bank on each
side of the Christiana have been filed
in and the banks made 80 to 100 feet
wide, thus rendering them secure
against tides and overflow, and turn
ing what was ditch inside the banks
into solid land, level with the banks
and wide enough for several carts to
pass abreast over it. If the banks
were thus widened all the way around
the marsh a handsome and pleasant
drive might be made to the Delaware,
at very light expense. 1t is hoped
that the remainder of the banks from
the jackson & Sharp Company's
works to the mouth of the Brandywine
will be thus filed up, widened and
improved.
The Dredging Company has also
erected a pier extending five hundred
feet from the banks into the Delaware
River, in front of this city to depth
Of water about eighteen feet. At the
end of this pier a wharf, or bulk head
will be erected having front of six
hundred feet. Behind this wharf deep
docks will be excavated above and be-
low the pier, 80 that there will be an
ice harbOr in winter, and landing fol
vessels and steamers at any time. A
tramway is laid upon the pier and con
tinued inside of the banks toward the
city. 1t is elevated fourteen feet above
tho marsh and from the end in the
river is twohty-two hundred feet long
The company will soon have the rail
ing laid on this trestle work, and in
tend to transfer their cars to it anG
fill it up from one end to the othe,
with mud, making the marsh leveI
with the railroad from eighty tc
one hundred feet on each side
making q high permanent road. Il
is only twenty-three hundred feet
from the end Of this tramway to the east
side Of the Brandywine creek, and il
all probability the tramway may be
built to the creek should the company
be encouraged and find it profitable tc
continue the work. This would make
a substantial road, fit to be turned
into street railway from the Della
ware River to the Brandywine. That
stream could easily be bridged and tn,
balance Of the marsh on this side O
the creek filed and good highway
made over which car could pass from
Market street to the Delaware in tel
or fifteen minutes, Whether this will
be done or not the managers of tn,
company cannot now say. But thei
tramway will be continued anc
