letter from Samuel TohiisuiiI
For the Dki.awakk Gazette.
1 sent a few lines the other day as a
bomb to Iry to find where the enemy lay
on the court-house question. It had the
dealt ed effect, foi ou Monday morning
the liera! d said "the old basin or park."
When* in the name of God the "park" is
that Wilmington pledges l do not know.
Is it the rocky hill-side and swamp bor
dering on Brandywine creek or "gut ?"
The llerald says in locating in the Park
5 ou should look not at what it is but at
what it may become. Then, Mr. llerald ,
your meaning is that the court-house
should he taken from New Castle, a town
situated oil the Delaware river, one of
finest rivers of the world, where the iron
business is rapidly developing, and mil
lions of eyes aie turning towards that
spot (New Castle) as the future location
ol the great iron ship yards of the world.
And then, Mr. Herald , to tear away ti e
court-house from that p'ace and locate it
along a puny sucker branch called the
Brandywine ; and as the Herald admits
it is six hundred yards or one-third of a
mile fiom the old basin, or three-quarters
of a mile from the railroad depot, and a
two mine line of street cirs that not one
tenth of the people could g**t in on inorn
i»gs in court time, thus subjecting them
to heavy fine«, no people will bear such
attempted imposition, but you people of
iron bridge notoriety at Washington
street. If idiots would build a court
house west of that iron bridge site and
therefore turn Biandywtne Hundred
court travel over said proposed iron
bridge, that is only to cost the little sum
of $100,OX),how lots would sell over the
Brandywine. The old basin is up-hill
and too far north for the centre of impu
tation of this couuty.
Front street, near Market, ought to be
the place, if the county Couit-house is
ever to go to Wilmington. It is as far
North as it should go. But if Wiiming
ton, Brandywine, Christiana and Mill
Creek hundred are to form a county to
themselves, fix it in that imaginary park,
hill-side or swamp, or where you please ;
but do not ask the seven lower hundreds
to g>> up to the old basin or to the borders
of Chester county, and if you attempt it,
I think, if all other powers fail us, we
cau ma kc a plain case before the Chan
cellor for an injunction to restrain a dol
lar from bo.tig laid out at your old basin
or your Bianuywine swamp—at least uti*
tjj ano tj jer session of the Legislature.
Mr. Herald you say it is only a small
matter of a hundred yards ft oui tl.e
old basin to a site in that visionary park.
Suppose the Court was in session, would
it w ait for people to travel one third, or
one-half mile or one mile? No. And,
suppose persons w anted to make the train,
they could not do it. There are two in
centives to locate it in the Brandywine
swamp. The half jacktas-liorse railway
cars, and the irou bridge over Brandywine
loi speculators, aud the old basin is a
kind of economical dodge to save the
city of Wilmington the outlay for a
Court-house site,
they promised to furnish the site free. If
they did so promise, they should, as all
other fools, be released from such an
offer; for if the county determines at
any time to change the site of the Court
house to any hundred let the county pay
for it. Then the people are independent.
Wilmington is in no condition to buy
new sites for a Court-house to give to the
couuty, and the people of the county are
too independent to accept al our loss, the
old cast off clothing of the city of Wil
mington—the old basin. There need not
he any hurry about a new Court-house.
The present one at New Castle is a very
