CITY INTELLIGENCE. Ie ADDITIONAL LOCAI, ITEM beb rirrs taqm, J Thb New Court-IIoubb Receiving tub Fi.n whiko tocchbs a description op thb build mo. Tne new Court-IIouse, on Independence Ikjuarr, is bo nearly finished that a special e nlre has been issued for jurors ior the second Monday of March, it being the intention of the Judges to hold Court in the old and new build laps at the game time, and thus dispose of the business that has accumulated within the past six months. The new Court-IIouse, although not present ing a very imposing appearance so inr as the exterior is concerned, will nevertheless give us a conrt-room us complete In its details as any In the 8tate. The lot on which the building stands is 60 feet by 111 leek The first floor is devoted to the Grand Jnry and Clerk of the-Court, a kail 10 leet wide running through the centre from east to west. On the south side of the hall are two offices for the District Attorney, a Male and iemale witness room, and one )are room ior the Grand Jury. These rooms all tomraunlcate, so us to avoid the necessity of coming into the public hall in passing irom one apartment to the other. On the north side is a private office for the Clerk of the Quarter Sessions. This communi cates with a large room in whick the dockets and papers of the office will be kept, and where the public business will be transacted. Adjoin ing this room is an apartment, 22 feet by 20. No disposition has been made of this room, but the Judges will request Councils to tit it up as a Court-room, wherein motions can be heard, as in the smaller room attached to the United States District Court. All the rooms on the irst floor are 12 teet lu height. On the second floor, access to which is had by means ot a broad Stairway, the space is alvlded in such a manner as to give a Court loom 00 by 70 feet, as well as District At torney's office and two witness rooms. This has been done by means of a brick partition running north and south, and 20 feat irom the line ot the building on Sixth street. A portion ol the space thus secured by the partition wall is devoted to the stairway and vestibule lead ing to the Court-room; and while the Court room is 30 feet in height, the portion fronting on Bixth street is divided into two stories, so as to give the witness rooms leading to the Court-room and also two jury rooms up stairs, and beyond the reach of outside parties, except by passing up in the sight of the officers. The alcove, lor the judges' bench and the judges' retiring-room, is independent of the dimensions given above as those of the court room. The ceiling Is finished in white, wuile the sides are toned down by means of what is called the "sand finish." Ample light Is secured by five large double windows on each side, two at the east end, independent of those in the Judges' alcove. Ventilators in the floor, as well as a large circular opening in the celling, will supply the fresh air to the room. The heating is by means ot a patent steam heating apparatus, the registers being placed along the side walls of the room, about four feet irom the floor. A largo chandelier, with twenty-six burners, suspended from the ceiling, and twenty double-bracket burners, ranged along the sides, will supply the light at night. All the gas-fixtures throughout ihe building are ot bronze and gold. In arranging the Court-room for the trans action of business, especial relerence has been had to the wants of the judges, the jurors, mem bers of the bar, the witnesses, parties and spectators. The Judges in the new room will be removed from the reach of parties, and the attention of the Court will not so frequently be claimed by outsiders while an Important case may be progressing. Nor can parties come between the judge and the witnesses while on the aland, as in the old Court-room. The Clerk of the Court and the Deputy Sheriff will be stationed at the south side of the room, while the witness stand will be at the north, and those who have business with the Clerk or Sheriff will not be required to Interfere with the District Attorney, crier, or witness. A massive walnut stand, with rail and panel, forms the judges' desk, while on a platform in front the District Attorney and court officers will be stationed, with ample accommoda tions for the transaction of business. In the northeast corner of the room a space has been provided for the 1ry empannelled to try a case. They will be separated irom the specta tors as well as their fellow jurors, and no ono can approach them for any purpose, either in Iront or to the rear, without being noticed by the Court. Adjoining this jury-box is a compartment for the jurors not empan nelled. This is also designed to separate them from the spectators and witnesses, or parties interested in the cases bclore the Court. On the south side of the room a iurv-boxfor the grand jury, another lor a jury on rendering a verdict, and a third for parties and attorneys, are provided. All the woodwork of these compartments, as well as the window sash and frames, is grained in imitation of oak, while a light railing in iront ot all is painted in imita tion ot walnut. About the centre of the room two docks are provided, one lor males and the other for females. Prisoners will be broueht in tbe.van by the Chesnut street entrance to the square, and will be taken out at the door on the north side of the building. This gives access to the Court-room by means of a trap door opening directly into one of the prisoners' docks. The space between the compartments described above as designed for jurors is in tended for members of the bar. It will be ample for all purposes, and will be a great improve ment, as compared with the contracted quar ters in the old room. UavinK thus provided for the members of the bar, Jurors, and others compelled to be in at tendance, provision is next made for spectators and such witnesses as may be waiting to be called to the stand. Thirty leet by sixty teet is given to the audience. To accommodate the people, seats raoeed in the form of pews upon an Inclined platform are provided. This por tion of the building will seat about 300 persous. Attached to the witness-rooms are water closets and other conveniences, while In every respect throughout the building doe regard has been had to the comfort of those compelled to attend the Court. In ihe uew room the judges will be enabled to ami main order and decorum, and thus impress parlies with the solemnity ot judicial proceedings. Thre will be none of the confusion Incident to the trans action of business in the old court room, and above all, the judges will be left free to attend to the business before them, without the constant Interference ol members nf thn bar. and others who may wish to secure favors, although at the expense of Interrupting the trial of cases. Another improvement will he the location of the witness stand. The wit ness will be in Mght of every one in the court room, and will be close to the jurors who are nhiiapfl to hear his testimony. Mr. Colladav. the contractor, is giving the finishing touches to the building, and in a tew days will com ninoinsr the lurnlture in tne room. Already cocoa matting has been placed in the :-oTrt .Tnrv and District Attorney's rooms, and ,n littlp remains to be done to enable the judge to hold court in the new structure. t.n.,i AnxoriATiox of Central High School A'i.,ir,ni Association of the Central High ,.i.nnl. last eveniug, held its semi-annual meet inin ihe His;h School building.

In was in tended to cover her with iron, but owing to the advanced state of the season this has been ruled as out of order. The iron, 11 put npon her now, must necessarily he renewed in the soring. The steamer is being built at Kaighn's Point. Gen tlemen entirely conversant with such matters assure us that, when ready for sea, the new steamer will be at least equal to any vessel that ever floated.' She would have been ready a month ago, had orders been Issued to the builders to that effect. The fact Is, that freight has been offered to such an extent that the Company's steamers have been unable to take it, and the Southern Steamship Company will put their new vessel upon the route in the full assurance that she will receive as big a Ireight roll as when but two steamers constituted the line.

To the Editor of The Evening Telegraph: Sir: The proposal to submit the question of running Sunday cars in the Btreets of Philadel phia to a vote of the people is specious, having a fair appearance. The mover of the resolution in the Legislature nt llarritiburg claims that the laboring population of the city desire to have the facility of the cars to take themselves and families to tho suburbs on the Sabbath, as being the only opportunity they have to enjoy the country air; and they ask that the general law of the State shall he changed, to enable them to enjoy that privilege, and that, to de termine this point, a vote of themselves nliall ho taken for and against it. This, we say, is specious. But is it real 1 In reply, we would raise two points: First, is it for the benefit of public morals 1 and, second, is there any such application, spontaneously and bona fide, origi nating from the source indicated 1 In reference to both we think there is not. In regard to the last point, our impression is that the appli cation is not spontaneously from the laboring classes, in whose name it is asked, but from those who expect to he benefited by carrying them out and back. We can understand that the owners of a city railway line, branching so extensively and through such remote parts of the city as the Union Passenger lino does, would receive a largo amount in fares for carrying passengers from the Navy Yard and from ltichmond to Faiiniount Park and vicinity on the Sab bath day, and that they think they have a large pecuniary interest in the result. We know thnt a large number of our population, not of native birth, and without our religious ideas in respect to the sacredness of the day, would readily avail themselves of the oppor tunity to visit the beer gardens, as well as the green fields, to be found at the point of desti nation. The proprietors of those beer gardens are in many cases also the proprietors of places for the sale of the same article in dif ferent parts of the city, and have many oppor tunities of soliciting votes for such a propo sition that those who do not visit such places have no means to counteract. And having a direct pecuniary interest in the result, they would use more active measures than those who deem it their part to stay at home. The advocates would be a drilled band active, earnest, and not very scrupulous and would have nn advantage in such a contest that is readily foreseen, and render such a proposi tion more Fpecions than lair. Having tniis two largely interested parties to the question on the one side namely, the railway companies and the brewers and liquor dealers and the general public, without sucli special motives, on the other, the friends of tho proposition are probably correct in supposing they would lave nn easy and a decided victory, vv ltn these views oh the subject, we do not think there would be any fairness in affording them such, an opportunity to gain their end that at first blush it would suggest, and we deem the pro posal specious and unfair. But the effects of the measure, or what may be reasonably an- ticipated, are specially to be dreaded. At the February term ot tne iourt oi quarter ces sions, Judge Ludlow referred to the increase . . . . . .1 A A J ! 11 m the business oi mu uouri aurmg me past few months, in these words : "A most fearful, determined struggle between right and wrong, virtue and vice, law and crune, is now going on, ana un less the strong arm of the law is exercisod promptly, all that is good will he swept from the land." The Judge referred to the fact that, for the first time in its lustory, the East ern Penitentiary is so crowded that it has be come necessary to place two prisoners in some of the cells; and the saddest fact of all is, that "over two-thirds of the inmates are under twenty-five years of age." Will not crimes be multiplied by sending thousands of persons of drinking propensities to the suburbs on the Sabbath day r W ill not tne consequences oi drink quarrelling, fighting, maiming, and homicide be fearfully increased by such a course f The question most appropriately belongs to the Committee on Vice and immorality. What will tho Committee say? Shall they say that the command, ''Remember the Sabbath day," etc., shall 1 submitted to the vote of the lager beer and liquor arniKing members ot a densely populated city 1 We hope not. We are laboring to have churches and Sunday Schools established in all quarters of the city, and have the natural depravities of human nature to contend against in trying to do them good. Shall tho Legislature authorize tliis work to le hindered by tempting the laboring man to ride out and drink, instead of having him stay with his family, and go, if he is will ing to go, to be profited for this life and the next 1 We hope not. We hope they will say, "We will recommend no such legislation. From the Delaware to tho Ohio we are one State, and we must legislate so as to promote morality and righteousness from one end of it to tho other. We will not do anything to derogate from the sanctity of tho Sabbath day, but will endeavor to preserve it as day of rest and for the servico of God." If those of foreign birth seek our shores for their own good and welfare, they are welcome. But they must not expect us, even if they were accustomed to it where they came from, to convert tho Sabbath into a day of amuse ment and dissipation. They may conform to us, but we will not conform to them, but will continue in the paths taught us in this respect by our fathers, who planted this land, and laid the foundation of religion which it is now sought to disturb. Even as a question of profit to the Railway Companies, the scheme is of questionable benefit. Do not their horses require the rest of the day, and will they not lie speedily de stroyed by working them without ceasing? The command is that they too shall have rest. We hope the Committee on Vice and Im morality will most emphatically refuse this evil, and only evil, request. Wo hope that the committeo will take the opportunity to make a full report, and give the matter a final quietus. W. MEDICAL.
