The Court House at Hew Castle. The recent action of the Levy Court of this county in making an appropriation for lobuiliHug th« Court Hous« at New Cai lla, ha« bud a strange effect. Our readers will remember bow, n lit tle more than a year ago, when a desper ate effort was made by the inhabitants of "the city'' to have the county »eat remov ed thither front New Castle, that old Court Houae was moat terribly denounced as be ing too little to accommodate the pooplc who resorted thither to attend the sittings ef the oourts, and too mean a building for the great and populous county of Now Cas tle, having W-i-I-m-i-n-g-t-o-n in it. Oh, what on awful old pile that Court House was then. It wasn't fit for the people to go inside of or to look at. It was a dis grace, and all that. But the Legislature was stubborn, and refused to grant tho re quest of "tho city's" délégation, hut lis tened to the remonstrances of the outsid ers and New Castle kept the county seat. At its lust aittiug the Levy Court, how ever, thinking perhaps that there was some fire where there was so much smoke, and that perhaps the Court House was too ■mall, decided to make it bigger. That was a terrible mistake. They ought to have known better. The old Court House was too little when it was wanted at Wil mington, but since it couldn't be carried "over there" it has suddenly become big enough. It has been discovered that Philadelphia has no bigger nor better ones. Haar whut a "city" daily said last Mon day 'Comparatively few citizens are accomodated by the Court House. Of the mass of the people very few go into it once n year ; and such buildings arc never erect - eel to uccommodutc large numbers of people. It has been remarked that the court room io as good as most of those in Philadel phia, aud we believe this is true ; while it U quite as large ns cither of them, unless it be ene of recent erection, lleeently looms have been added to onr court house for the accommodation of the lawyers and judges, aud the ventilation of the house much improved, so that we think it will answer quite well for a year or two longer at least." The same paper wants to go to the Court and gut out an injunction to treat this court house like Samuel Townsend wanted to do to a Wilmington bridge, and not let it he built. The llepuUicun, in commenting on this subject, closes ils article with these words: "Wo have no doubt but tho time will come when the couuty will be divided as it is not to be expected,when Wilmington shall •ontain a population of 100,000, that the people will continue to travel to New Cas tle to transact their legal business. The couuty will eventually be divided or the Court. House will be transferred ftom New Castle to Wilmington." Friend Vernon's "head is level" there. The division of the county must eventually take place. The citizens if Wilmington will grow tired of going over to New Cas tle to transact their law business, and as the pceple of tho other Hundreds will nev er consent to a transfer of the county seat •f the county as it now is to Wilmington, the people of that city will, in self defence, yield to a division, snd all quurrelings and disputings about the location of the county seat will be at an end. This is the only way in which Wilmington ever will, or ever ought to, get a court house. We regret that any move for rebuilding the Court House at New Castle should have been made at this time. A new Court House at New Castle will not settle the vexed question of its removal, nor sat isfy Wilmington, and if the county is to b« divided the present Court House will be commodious enough, as it is, for tho now county. Besides, the time is wrtainly in opportune. With business scarcely re vived from the disastrous effects of last year's panic, money scarce and hard to be had, sheriff's sales filling the columns of the papers, it is hardly a fit time to spend the publio funds for unnecessary improve ments. Hcnec we say with Mr. Town eend, let both the building of the Wil mington bridge aud the New Castle Coart Ueaso be postponed a while loog«r. tho ings to was and fired lust who bad iu at of aud at also of and ho lic the of bly is Th« general tendency of tha times to wards retrenchment and economy is shown M» varions ways by the shrinkage in vaines snd a growing demand for lower prices of nil articiés in common use.

Advertisements printed in Chinese char acters are beginning to appear in the Cali fornia papers. said It is a singular fact that whenever a State or municipal election now-a-days goes against tbe Democracy, tho Radical newspapers, ouc and all, assure tho pub lic that the result is a decided and posi tive indication of a loss of confidence in the Democratic party. But whenever the Radicals luso an electiou, according to Radical logic it is no indication whatever of any popular verdict against the Repub lican organizatiun. This has boon forci- I bly illustrated by tho peculiar and amusing comments recently niade upon tho Con neticut electiou by the Radical journals who will not allow their own rule to work both ways. "Under all the circum stances," I "there is really the result, unless the Democratic majority should prove to ho unusually heavy." Now the great significance of the result i is beyond the shadow of a doubt, that the Republican party has been weighed in the popular balance and found wanting, and no possible amount of special pleadiug will put any other aspect on the cub«.— Baltimore Gazette. says tho Philadelphia Press, uo great significance in Real Estate in Eastbkn Maryland.— The Eastern Shore of Maryland is uow reaping that result front our late financial panic which it was predicted would follow as a natural sequenoo. Thera are now more inquirers after land than ever before, and Mr. J. ï\ Mancha, of tho firm of Mancha & Bro., Ridgely, the most exten sively engaged in real estate of all firms in Eastern Maryland, informs us that there is a corresponding increase in the number of sales. There has, however, been no appreciation in tbo value of real estate as yet, but if these sales oontinue such must be the inevitable result. The Mancha Bros, havo also been empowered to sell a tract of 4,000 acres lying east of Ridgely, belonging to Parson Ridgely, which they have divided into small lots and some thirty settlers have already pur chased homes. Of these, eight or ten have already built themselves houses and moved in. An incentive to purchase is tho very easy terms upon which tho lots are sold, no mow y being required for five — Ex. years. A Postal Card Item. The first postal card was issued on the | 15th of May, last year, or ten months snd a half ago, and up to the 1st instant exactly 100,000,000, or the whole amount estimated for the first year, were delivered to the government. Of thia number, the fifteen largest cities in the country took 40, 000,000,—New York city alone taking eleven millions and a 'half, or nearly eight per cent, of the whole. Next to New York came Boston,.which took about fivo millions, while Washiuglnu required for her us« considerably over one million. It is estimated that about ten millions more will be required to meet th* demand for the first year since their introduction. to of our con their the The Washington Chronicle says: "Bu shels of printed matter on which postage is inaufficiently paid, aro every week deposited in tho post-office, and there de tained and ultimately deatroyed. course, tb. postage paid on this matter ia wasted by tbs sender.
