| ARGUMENT.
| Tie U. S. Court continues it's session in the
case of the U s. Us. Chas. H. B. Day, having not
yetspaseed beyond the argument of counsel on
points OF law. The following are the points H.
| volved
| The plaintiff sought to introduce transcript
of the whole Jumped account OF Charles Il. B.
Day. late collector, and the counsel for the de-
| testimony, for the reasons following:
l That the sureties cannot be charged with
any other taxes that those. e.mposed by the act of
1862, under which the defendant was appointed,
especially in view of the provisions of that act
which specifically. limits the powers [and duties
of the officers to the collection of the dulles or
tdres prescribed by the sad act:
2nd. That 80 much Of the condition of the
bond as undertakes to covenant against delin-
quencies arising under preceding appointment
is told, being contrary to the condition Of the
bond as prescribed by the Statute, and that
sureties cannot therefore be charged with any
taxes collected prior to the approval of the
second bond.
These are the principal and substantial points
Of the case insisted on by the defendant, and
while there were other points argued at length
they are incidental to, and grow out of the pro-
position above stated. The Court, at noon, to-
day, (when the arguments were concluded) said
that in view of the magnitude and i'm
portance of the questions raised, and
which had been so fully argued the Court would
consider the question, and render an opinion on
Tuesday next, at IL O'Clock, to which time the
Jury were discharged.

THE EXPECTED FREsHET DID NOT TAKE PLACE
The freshet which was produced lihle more
than week ago under circumstances somewhat
similar to the storm of yesterday led many per-
sons to anticipate another such occurrences 1t
was the very general opinion that a greater
quantity of rain fell yesterday than on the pre-
yous occasion, but such does not seem to lave
been the case. AT leaet it fiiied
to produce the same result III
all the streams, which while somewhat swollen,
was still vented in their natural channels with
out any damage of consequence. The Brandy
wine showed no greatly increased volume, and
the many who betook themselves thither to view
scene of flood and crash Of ice failed to wit
ness the sublime spectacle Down the declivi
ties of the city the water ran in miniature tor
rents in some places, and even flooded cellars in
the valleys, but produced only temporary incon-
yenience.
The Red Clay Creek was considerably swollen,
and the heavy current swept away aomo OF the
temporary supports which had been placed un-
der tho w. Il W. Il. II. bridge at Wooddalc, so
that it was deemed unsafe for the passage Of
trains. Accordingly trains dispatched from each
end OF the road met on opposite sides of the
stream and exchanging their passengers thus
maintained communication the full length of the
road last evening and thus morning. No damage
is reported along the line Of the other railroads

The charter referred to in my letter of yester'

bill will no doubt be introduced to-day. Tbis
company evidently means business, and intendf
to have all the branch railroads constructed that
can be of any service in drawing trade to the
Breakwater Besides the building of boats and
ships at Lewes, the company intends to estab-
lish machine shops at Georgetown, which will
wake up that ancient borough.
A bill supplemental to the charter OF the
Georgetown y Delmar r. r. Co. has been intro
duced II names new Commissioners to organ
ize the corporation, many OF those formerly pro-
posed being dead or moved away. The latest
charter proposed is one for a road from Milford
past Fredorca to Dover. 1t is expected that
this road Will draw freight from Dover to the
B.eakwlter, and it il asserted that 1t may be
hence shipped TO New York at cheaper rates by
80 per cent than are now paid to the Delaware
road. Wien these roads are chartered then will

New York ElDteis,

New York is the city of magnificent hotels.
But few people know or understand, however,
the qualities necessary to the management Of n
fiist-class hotel in New York. Great tact, rae
judgement, fine nerve, and what the Rev
Robert Collyer calls /" true grit" all NUT be
displayedin the successful management, Some
times all these fail, but perhaps the mort unta-
bic instance of immediate and permanent sue
uarity of the Grand Central Hotel, on RlCad
way Now York. Combined with its manage
ment to great degree the Grand Central
owes its fine success to the liberal plan of ad-
justing its rates according to the location Of the
room occupied. This, with bill of fare hardly
equaled by any hotel tablo in New York, six
meals per diem il secured at the rate of from
81. 90 to - 90 per day, according to choice III

The dry dock at the Philadelphia Navy Yard
was submerged on tuesday, in order to take on
the steamphip Pennsylvania, for repairs. The
machinery to pump out the water broke down, and
the floating ice then injured the dock. 1t is
feared that it will prove total loss. 1t was es-
timated that If it could be raised, it would cost
at least $3.50 900 to put it in good order, and that
the cost of a now dock would be at least $500,
900. Meanwhile the question is: How and
where shall the Pennsylvania be repaired.
