Os Tuesday next there will be a speoial meet ing of CounoiU to fix the tax rate for the yea 1869, and it Is to be hoped that the sabjeot Will reoeire the attention it deserres, and that an effort will be made to avoid the finanolat embarrassments which have hitherto been so annoying to tax-payers as well as oar olvlo legislators. On Thursday last a majority of the Finanoe Committee of Common Coanoll presented a report advocating $1-80 as the tax rate for the year 18 09. The liabilities of the city for the coming year amount to $12,38!),-279-50, and the cash on hand is $674,142-73 The estimated receipts from all sources added to this will make $3,766,555-73, leaving $8,622,729-77 to be provided for by taxation The amount realized by the rate of $1-80 is 7,975,563-77, leaving a deficit of $647,163. Two important items, however, have been Omitted in the estimates made in fixing the above-named rate the extra appropriations and the olaim of the State for taxes now due and to fall due in 1809. The extra appropriations for 1868 to Novem ber 1 amounted to $1,531,394 74, and the amount now due to the State for taxes in arrears is $200,000, and it is estimated that the State's olaim in 18G9 will be at least $160,000, making a total of $360,000. Thus, at the proposed rate of $1-80 we will be more deeply involved than ever at the end of 1869, and extraordinary means will have to b9 re sorted to to make up the deficiency. Our credit is not so good now that we ean afford to run deeper in debt, and the most prudent, sensible, and satisfactorj- course for all par" ties would be to fix upuu a tax rate that will cover all expenses, and, if possible, leave a Surplus in the treasury. On last Thursday Messrs. W. E. Littleton ftni James F. Dillon, of the Finance Commit" tee, presented a minority report in Common Counoil, in which they clearly set forth the above particulars and earnestly advocated $2 20 as the rate for 1869. The rate of $2 20 Will give in excess of the $1-80 rate $1,772,-347-77, from which deduct the estimated defi ciency of $1,507,163, and there will be sur plus at the end of the year of $265,184-54. Messrs. Littleton and Dillon state that when an annual expenditure of over twelve millions Of dollars is to be considered, they do not think this too great a margin. A high rate is, ot course, unpopular with taxpayers, and members of Council on that aooount are disposed to resort to expedients rather than meet the financial difficulties of the city government in the only way that oau avoid constant embarrassment. Messrs. Littleton and Dillon are entitled to credit for their advocacy of a tax-rate sufficient to cover the actual expenses of the city, and we hope that CounoiU will be induoed to look upon the matter from the same practical and business-like point of view that they do. They Bay in their report: "With the result of the experience of the last five or six year and me present, condition of the City Treasury belore llieui, It was hoped and believed that at last a rale would be decided upon adequate to provide for current expenditure; but lroua the action of the majo rity of the committee, It appears taut tais expectation Wus delusive, and that tlie course of lolly Is still to be continued In reference to elty finances. It would seem unnecessary to say that the same ruins should govern a uiunl. clpality as would inliucnce a prudent mau in the conduct of bis business, and tbat It Is as imperative a duty lor a city or its rulers to provide adequate means lor its annual expendi ture as lor an Individual to do the same ihlDg for his domestic or business engagements. Dut for years this familiar and simple rule has been neglected and repeatedly violated. In no one year sluca the war began lias there been a tax rate producing a sum njual to current ex penditures. Year after year have dedoinncles been accumulating, until me debt of tue city bS assumed g gaatic proportions, exceeding the debt of tue .Slate Usult. No decrease hus been elfecled, but accumulation has been steady and continuous. To tucli a courso, if recklessly continued, there con be but one termination bankruptcy; and only una remedy cau be ap plieda lax raiesu (licit nt for all current expen ditures, estimated and special, wuleli can be made for or duilog the year iu question." It needs no argument to prove that the measure proposed by these gentlemen will be more satisfactory to tax-payers and more oreditable to the city than the polioy hitherto pursued, and which is advooated by the ma jority of the Committee; and we hope sin cerely that Councils will allow themselves to look at this matter in a proper light, and en deavor to retrieve our credit a little by pro viding means for meeting our liabilities as they arise, rather than by adding fresh debts to those with which we are already burdened. New York and Hester Yaughan. Wk are eminently sympathetic in our nature, and our feelings have been strongly exoited for some of our New York contemporaries There is an old story aVout a man who kicked at no thine and sprained himself, that seems expressly fitted to the present case of those lournallsts who have been dilating reoently with so much fervor apon the wrongs of Hester Vaughan, and, as a consequence, upon the general hard-hearteduess of Philadelphia In general and of Philadelphia ladies In par tionlar. After "doing up" the story in the best fuelletonist style, toning it up and toninf it down to concert pitch through column after column of eloquenoe, and Spioing every paragraph with a "pitoh-In" to the want of humanity exhibited by the entire fionulation of Philadelphia, a deputation of New York ladies have made it their 'mission" a throw themselves before Governor Geary, and, like the falrjdamsels of story, they have begged the ruthless tyrant to release his Tietta. All UiifJ very prett ia tu He York ladies, and we are glad that the New York papers have had suoh a pretty event to dress up in suoh pretty language; but Gov ernor Geary quietly responds to all this pafclic pathos and delicate distress, that the oltisens of Philadelphia hare folly and earnestly urg-ed upon him all possible extenuating oiroura- stances; that numerous benevolent individual! quietly and promptly placed before him all the peculiarities of the case, begging his clemency for the unhappy conviot; and that the public might have inferred from his refusal to sign or issue a death-warrant in tb.U case .that it was under his serious and anxious consideration. "True it is 'tis pity and pity 'tis 'tis true," that when New York, after long and patient waiting, Aid at last find an occasion for bringing up against us that last and strangest charge inhumanity the whole diflloulty in the story should turn out to be merely that it wasn't bo I Thb Conviction op Alexandbb The trial of George W. Alexander, Assessor of the Eighth district of this State, upon a oharge ef aiding and abetting in the unlawful removat of whisky with intent to defraudhe revenue, was concluded yesterday in the United. States District Court. The evidence was voluminous and the pleadings lengthy, the case altogether oocupying the attention of the Court for the greater portion of the week. Last evening the jury rendered a verdiot of guilty, but afterwards, at the request of his Honor Judge Cadwalader, accompanied it with a recommendation to meroy. The morning papers erroneously stated that the reoommendation was brought in at the Crfet, with the verdict, but so far from this being the case, it was not until the judge had said that he would be gratified if the jurors would unite with him in the recommendation, that they acceded. The trial, throughout, wa3 con ducted with fairness, and the verdiot was eminently just. The public, tired of the con stant peculations of the Revenue officials, and indignant at the easy manner in which they have hitherto eecaped judgment watched this caae with intense interest, in the hope that at last one of the evidently guilty ones would be punished as an example to the others. They were not again disappointed, and to the results of the trial the efforts of the new District Attorney, John P. O'Neill, Esq., were mainly conducive. Ue can feel the proud satisfaction of knowing that the people are all tendering him praise . Let but one or two more of the publio pilferers receive their deserts,and a bright prospect arises that taxes will diminish before a revenue honestly col lected. Janic A. lift tli. In the letter ol "The Junior," one of our spe cial Southern correspondents, written from Charleston, S. O., February 25, 18(18, reference was made to the incarceration of James A. Keith in Castle Plnckney, on the charges of murder, arson, and horse stealing, alleged to have been committed in North Carolina. He was arrested October 8, 1837, but up to the period of "The Junior's" letter no lime had been fixed lor his trial. Subsequently, on an order from Brevet Major General Cunby, commanding the Second Military District, Issued July 81,1808, Keith was removed to the Jail in Kalelgh, N. C, charged with murder and other heinous crimen, to be held subject, to the requisition of the Attorney-General of the Htale of North Carolina.
