The Road to the Delaware.

The City Council has at last hit upon
some expedient plan for a public
thoroughfare to the river but it stills
lacks the endorsement Of the City Coun-
Gil; but four out of five members of the
Committee appointed to recommend
some plan, have agreed upon the same
plan. Mr.. Paynter-the ohiecting men,
ber of the Committee, it is understood.
favors an avenue to the river on the
South side in preference to any pro-
posed route on the north side, and hence
he did not sign the report offered by
the majority and will in all probability
offer a minority report. The plan pro-
posed by the Committee, is to widen
Seventh street, through the jackson &;
Sharp Company's works to the little
peninsula of marsh land between the
Brandywine and Christiaua rivers, and
there making an oblique course cross the
Brandywine where Fourth street inter.
sects it and proceed on that street di.
rect to the Delaware river front. In
the proposition to open road by this
route it is expected to pay little or nc
damages to property owners for the
condemnation of land, the benefits be
ing considered commensurate for al
the damages which might be incurred
The Seventh street route seems to bt
the most direct 1oute to the river of al
the routes mentioned.

WHATEVER COMBINA ATOMS may be
entered into in the election of success
sorS to Senators COnkling and Platt, OF
New York, it is evident from the last
three days balloting that they cannot
succeed themselves in the present Leg
islature, unless some great pressure is
brought to bear compelling the Repub-
lican members of the Legislature to
make choice between the two ex-
Senators and two Democrats. In yes
terday's ballottiug Mr.. Conkling ran
one less than his former vote, and only
pollcd "a out of l06 Republican votes in
the Legislature. This is not quite one
third and does not look much like the
triumphant vindica+ion he had expected
10 receive. Platt, Conkling'S man, was
only able to poll 2S out of LOG Republi-
can votes. \ concentration of the ad-
ministration forces and three more
votes would elect an administrative
Senator and leave Platt AT home, from
which he ought never to have been
taken. \ concentration Of the admin
st1ativc men and nine more votes
would lay Conkling ont. The indica-
tious otthe ballotting point to Governor

position to Coukliug and Platt.
