The bill for the removal of the seat of
justice
to Wilmington, renort«*d bv the
mate Committee, passed by that body,
and now oeforetbe House, expressly limits
the cost of land and buihlingato $70,
000. Forbidn the Levy Court to borrow
spend for both of those purn
than that amount. Requires th
to be erected by contract; the land to
cost the Count v nothing. These t»ro vi
sions cover all the expenses of biuMlngs
for every purpose, viz: Court House,
County Offices and jail for the tempora
ry detention of prisoners. The county
will retain its New Castle jail, in ail
these particulars the bill Is clear aud ex
plicit.
That the $70,000 will be amply suffi
cient we are prepared to prove by the tes
timony of experienced aud responsible
builders.
The bill takes mcay from the Levv
Court in respect to the proposed build

the result, ol borrowing money on inter

acquitting Father Purcell'of any dishou

"bad investments, shrinkage in value,
niisplaced conhdeuce, and unbusiiies>
like management."
buch is the record of one of the most
disastrous failures, In both its direct and
indirect results, that litis occurred since
the panic of 1873. In reflecting on its sad
story it is interesting to note how, in
1865, Archbishop Purcell issued circulars
to the clergy of his diocese touching the
management of Church property, in
which he pointed out mat, while the pas
tor of a congregation, iu the discharge of
of hiH duty, "may b« ad vautageousiy as
sieved" by lay counsellors, "the evils
done the Church In the United States in
times past, and the scandals giveu by lay
trustees, have caused the Holy See aud
all the true fneuds of religiou to look
with disfavor on the appoiutmeut of lay
men as managers of Church funds." lie
furthur pointed out that laymen are sim
ply the assistants of the pastor in the care
of the temporal a flairs of the congrega
tion." This, as we have said, was in 1863,
and, in the light, of the facts as develop
ed, the Archbishop was at that very time
conducting a savings bunk for his par
ish ''»ihth in a manner quite as reckless as
* imagined. While acquitting both
•!ibishop and his brother of any
conscious dishonesty, it would be an easy
matter to indulge in over-much senti
ment concerning bis misfortunes. Any
sympathy should be bestowed upon the
unfortunate« who lose by his utter lack
of fores ght and bu>iues sagacity. One

For some time previous to the duel and
before any suspicion of trouble existed it
was well known to her fiienda that she
was strongly attached to Hinds, whose
family was opposed to their intimacy. It
was remarked by some ladies and gentle
who were urgent at a lar n* nrivate

The allray on Baltimore strei t, with
its sad disclosure, was crushing in its ef
fects upon both families, the parents of
Mr. Hinds seeming 10 lake the matter to
heart almost as keenly, it that were pos
sible, as the p «rents of the unfortunate
young lady, who has ever since been in
the most pitiable condition. Her mind
constantly reverted to t he man whom
she loved, and during periods of delirium
which were not frequent, her cries for
him were agonizing. Her mother, who
appears to liavd grown older by y«ars
duringt.be weeks that have elapsed since
the exposure, endeav«jred to procure a
visit from Hinds, but did not succeed.
THK DUEL.
The duel between Hinds and young
James took place at. about eleven o'clock
on the morning of December 22, in the
basement of Robert Moore & Co.'s store,
corner of Baltimore and Hanover streets,
where Den wood B. Hinds, one of the par
ticipants, was employed. The assailant
was William M. James, a brother of the
unfortunate lady, and a clerk in the em

Fifth regiment. James' reputation had
always been that of a quiet, geutlemanly
and well behaved young man; but the
belief that his sister had suffered the worst
injury that woman can receive had driveu
him to desperation. Having received
from Hinds rep ated refusals to render
his sister the only satisfactory reparation
