It transpires that George V. Borch- ..senius, until last Saturday clerk of the district court, did not tender his resignation. Judge Moves requested it; Mir. Borchsenius refused to comply, and then he was peremptorily re- moved.
 The following correspondence will explain the process of official decapita- .,tion. The mOdus operandi is known ,in Nome. Sundry and divers United States commissioners, are familiar with the process. Mir. Berchsenius received the following communication at p. n1., July II:

T IS PASSED.

1886 honrs work at 40 cents an hour
e22s.a5, constituted the item Of a
bill Of John II. Spring for repairs to
the heating apparatus at the New
Castle Jail.
The bill came before the Levy
Court yesterday afternoon: Comp
trOller Kelley had written on the
back that he had not signed the bill
because the Jail Commissioners had
not approved fully Of it. He stated
that the commissioners had approved
of the bill as to the various items en-
tered on it but though the amount
was excessive. "a
Mr.. armstrong said he had talked
to one Of the Jail Commissioners, and
had been informed the objection was
TO the time charged, that item being
1886 hours at 40 cents an hour.
Mr.. Spring, who was present, made
an explanation that the time was ac-
curate and that 40 cents an hour
was not excessive, as that was the
usual charge of mechanics on repair
work. He felt that If the court look.
ed over its records it would find
where so and 60 cents an hour had
been paid on repair work.
Commissioner Megginson said he
felt the bill was just, because much
time was not only occupied in the
work, but that frequent trips had to
be made to Wilmington during the
course of the work to get supplies
which could not be secured in New
Castle.
Mr., Armstrong held a whispered
consultation with Mr.. Spring, and an
nounced that the contractor was will.
ing to make an oath as to the correct
ness of the bill.
Mr.. Willitts was in favor of suspend
ing action until conference could be
had with the Jail Commissioners.
After Mr.. Spring expressed willing
ness to take an oath to the bill the
account was passed.
