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.

The county will retain its New Castle jail, in ail these particulars the bill Is clear aud ex plicit.

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 of the first essentials in dealing with af fairs is for a man to know when his know led his capa know this, and yet to assume tasks for which one is wholly unfitted, is to be come guilfy of recklessness bantering on criminality. The moral to be drawn from the-»« pitif ul revelations is that tue good man, without practical ability ami ex perience, Is as much out of place in man aging the temporal affairs of the Church as in politics,— Record. th ge stops ami iu what direction hilities do not extend.

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.

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.
