Division of the County and the re-
novaI Of the Courts.

Division of the County and the Ne
moVaI Of the Courts.
Seeing Of late through the columns of the Ca
zette several communications In reference to
"Representati0n" and Removal of the Courts y |
Now IN reference to the first proposition without
any political object in view, we should endeaVor
70 act wisely, and alter due consideration decide
lmparhaliy the question under consideration If
we consider the great corlinal principles of our
government relative to representation, we must
conclude that representation was never intended
to be based strictly on population. To be bret
without entering into details, the only mode to
adjust satisfactorily this question now before the
people o. t1ls state Is either to district the State
| OF divide New Castle County.
Wilmington, as manufacturing city with its
| increased population is entitled to an increased
representation. But the question is asked upon
what bass people cannot agree The proper
and most judcious basis for representation Is pop
ulaton and territory. II area Of square miles
| contains popul ,ton of 10000 inhabitants 1t is
entitled to larger representation than the same
| area OF territory with a population CT 600 Then
territory OF % square miles with population OF
2OOO Is entitled to larger representation, than
an area OF square miles with the same popula-
1 ton.
Agricultural ami manufacturing interes IA are de-
pendent, one on the other, and should harmonic
by 1udleous legislation; If a conflict exists agri-
culture which IL the parent of oil other pursuits,
should have the paramount consideration. II the
majority OF the people are opposed to dividing the
portion representation upon a basis of population
aud territory, taking both into consideration.
Now lew words in references to the "F1emo 7al
} OF tho Courts" to Wilmington. / do not see the
proPrlety or necessity at the present time under
the present circumstances. 1 do not think II
would be Just or fair, for the people of New Cas-
tie county, after building the Aims House at Viii
7 mlngton, now 10 build Court House there also
II the ceahty should be divided, aud the people
. part OF the present county be thrown upon thei
= own resources to build an Aims House for them
selves. beleve the division of New Castl
! county to be only question of time. Whining
ton with its industrial interests and increased ia
cihtles will in time extend its limits and no dOub

New City Passenger Railway Conn
n@0V.

1t will be seen BY reference to our Legislative
reports, that Mr.. Silver has introduced in the
House bill entitled Wilmington, Edgemoor
and shellpOt Passenger Railway Company,
The COrPOrators in this company propose TO
extend railroad from Tenth street out Msrke I
street through Brandywine village and as far on
the Philadelphia pike as ShellpOt Creek, and
also to Edgemoor, on the Delaware River. This
is very important project, and would be verv
great Improvement if accomplished. That a
road Is needed 10 those points is not doubted
The new company propose TO use the rails al
present on Market street for their cars, and pay
for such use; or TO lay track on King or French
sheets. We believe the old company have
certain rights however. which, are granted in
their charter and are exclusive; but to whai
extent we do not now know.

TO ue Editor Of the Commercial;
"a searcher of the Scriptures" in the COM
aERcIAL of March 18th. answers my "Queerie'
by saying Ezra, VII chapter, 2ist verse, contains
all the letters of the Alphabet but adds that the
letter ~" is not there. because the Hebtew and
Greek1anguages had no such letter. There might
for the same reason be four letters not found
in said verse, because originally there were but
% letters in either Greek or Hebrew literature,
and now believe there 20 letters in the lat
ter, so the answer is not satisfactory.
I therefore repeat my inquiry (not as a puz-
zle but for my own information) Is there one
single verse OF Scripture that contains all the
letters of our alphabet and where is 1t Who

THE LIGHTING OF THE LAMPS IN THE ORE DISTRICT.
To desEditor Of he Commercial:
A complaint in yestorday's Ecery Evening
respecting the lighting of the lamps in the 0th
district, makes 1t incumbent upon me to furnish
an explanation. trust you will at least be
more courteous than the paper which made the
complaint, for upon my attempt, this morning.
| to explain why the lamps in that district were
not lighted was ordered from the office. This,
-
| not an outrage"
The reasops why several of the lamps in the
9th district were not lighted on Wednesday
| night, at a late hour, are plain and simple, and
will, think, satisfy any but chronic grumblers.
| The lamps were lighted as usual, but were blown
out by the strong wind because oil a lack OF suf-
fcient protection. l have repeatedly ordered
| that the necessary alterations be made to pro-
| vide against this very contingency as my refer
ence book will show but those who perform the
work of repairs-H. +. Pickels and ZachaTiah
Pickels-have neglected 1t, and the matter has
thus gone on for weeks. The lamps burn oil
and are more easily extinguiehed than those
which burn gas.
have done all in my power to provide for the
| lighting OF these lamps know that they have
been lighted, every evening, except Monday last,
when the lighter was taken suddenly sick at his
work ,,and had to suspend for have myself,
| personally, trimmed the lamps, each morning,
| and refled them. II they are blown out by tbs
wind because OF the lack OF necessary protection,
which have long since ordered they should
have it is no fault Of mine.
