THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2, 18V- t. . ; THE CITY FINANCES. Tut. report of the Finance Committee of City Council, based on the Controller's statement, contains a number of Interesting and impor tant suggestions. It appears that the muni cipal credit is not, after all, at such a low ebb fes superficial obsorvcrs are apt to consider it; nnd in view of the ninny defects of the present financial system, it is surprising that Philn dolphia is not more hopelessly involved in debt. The aggregate of the funded debt of the city on November 1, 18(!:, reaches the lare gum of $4 1,797,0';) t, which far exceeds the indebtedness of any othor city on the conti nent, and wou'd in former times have been considered an obligation of no mean impor - taaoe by tho whole nation. There are, how ever, so many legitimate offsets to thin in debtednoss in the shape of city loaus in the Sinking Fund, loans unsold, stocks, railroad, i water, and gas loans, and ity property, that the real balance of indebtedness unrepre sented by actual assets is set down at $12, y04,27l"13, which exceeds only by 7."0, 001 the amount expended by the city for war purposes. Nevertheless, the interest on the entire bonded debt must be provided for an nually, audit now reaches the large sum of $'2,500,000, forming the largest itoni in the appropriations. The estimated receipts for 1870, from other sourcos than taxation, how ever, amount to $l,."Gl,:H.r., and a large por tion of this is obtained from the property or investments which form a partial offset to the debt, so that in reality tax-payers are by no means compellod to bear tho burden of the interest of tho whole indebtedness. Hy pru dent and energetic management and wise State and municipal lugislation, these receipts - from other sources than direct taxation could be gToatly increased, and it would not be a very difficult task to swell them to an aggre gate equal to the entire amount of interest payable by tho city. The Commonwealth should surrender to the municipality some of the revenue which it now derives, espeoiaUv that obtained from tavern licenses; tho exist ing sources of city revenue should be undo more productive; and all tho important Row offices should Lo made to yield a municipal revenue, instead of enrichiug tho partisan adventurers who habitually strive to extort from the public the largest possible amount of foes for poor service. ' Philadelphia, unlike any other largo Ameri can city, derives no considerable amount of revenue from taxes on personal proparfy. For 18C9, the entire valuation of "furniture, horses, and carriages" on which she can " lovy taxes, is set down at If Now York or Boston had acted on this system they would have been bankrupt long ago. They obtain every year, from taxation on personal property, nearly as much as they dorivo from taxation on real estate, and thus get immense Bums from a source which is here unproduc tive. It is a grave question whether Phila delphia should forever be compelled lo labor under so great a disadvantage as compared with other cities; and she will certainly bo obliged to either fall far behind them in tho ex tent of her modern improvements, to swell the volume of her indebtedness, or to impose extremely heavy rates of taxation on real estate, if she continues to rely on the latter . as her principal source of revenue. L'ut the most startling statement of the Finance Committee is that even the pro visions'for the prompt collection of taxes on veal estate arc practically so defective that at this moment nearly six millions are duo to -' the city from this source alone, a large por tion of which, judging from past experience, will never be collected, mainly on account of the neglect or mismanagement of city ofli cials ! It is no wonder, under these circum stances, that repeated new loans are necessi tated, that a large amount of warrants are outstanding, that the erection of new public buildings is indefinitely postponed, and that the city credit is impaired. We begin by restricting tho sources of revenue, and end by neglecting the main reliance so grossly that a very largo percentage of its legitimate yield, is forever lost to the treasury. The finances Committee, after a full consideration of the whole subject, giving facts and figures in detail, say. "We have leen unuMe to flml, from the records ot the city, that any properly has ol IhIu veara bei-u old tor unpaid taxes aud from the ligurcg pre sented above it is apparent that, any muu dextrous of evading the payment of tuxes litis full opportunity to do so successfully, provided he eau keep the col lector of outstanding taxes or his ward In Rood humor, anil provided he has no occasion to ndl the property upou which the taxes are due : and the re sult Is thai the tax-payer who pays readily and will ingly not only pays his own fair proportion of the expenses of the oily government, but from ten to twenty lo twnty-Uv ptr cent, additional by reason vt tho Ulslioutbtj of his fellow-citizens." The mode of procedure by which the de falcations that at once impoverish the trea sury and oppress honest tax-pnyors are facili tated far exceeds in iniquity the "how not to do it" process of tho circumlocution ofneo. It seems (hat liens against properties on which taxes have oot been paid are not prepared nnlil five yoars after the taxes are levied; that this duty is entrusted solely to the Solicitor of the Receiver of Taxes, who is responsible only to that ofnoiftl, and not to the city; aud that the whole business is conductod in such alooso and careless manner thut the lions be come void for informality. During the flvo - year iutorvul ward collectors have power to collect the outstanding taxes by distraint, but ' tlitii- total fcilurc lo Sis :U.va? tM. ihty eft- ciently is fully proven by the following state ment: I Dtm Otifatanilinf Of Khlfh mm rot. , Hi Jan.

That a remedy of some kind should speedily be found is manifest to every tax payer and to all who are interested in the welfare and credit of the city, and we hopo this subject will speedily receive from Coun cils and the Legislature the attention it da-servos. MILL ON TIIE COOLIE SYSTEM. John Stuaut Mill has written a letter to a gentleman of San Francisco giving his viows on Chinese immigration into the United States as a problem of social anJ political economy. Mr. Mill admits the dilfloullios with whioh the subject is surrounded, and he thinks that Chinese immigration, if it attains great dimensions, innst be economically inju rious to the mass of tho present population, and that it will undoubtedly reduce thorn to a lower stage of physical comfort and woll being. From this point of view Mr. Mill thinks that, on general principles, if this state of things were likoly to continue, the exclu sion of such immigrants would be justifiable, because only a temporary good would be douo to the Chinese pcoplo by admitting a part of their surplus numbers, while a permanent harm would result to tho more civilized and improved portion of mankind. On the other hand, he contends that if the character and habits of tho Chinese are sus coptiblo of improvement, if every Chinese child were to bo brought under tho influ ences of tho public school system of tho United States, they might in time bo come a most valuable element of our popula tion. So long as the Chinese do not como to the United States in families and settle, Mr. Mill is of the opinion that the evil results that many fear can scarcely become so im portant as to roquira forcible measures for their exclusion. Mr. Mill urges strongly, however, tho ne cessity for stringent laws ayainst introducing Chinese immigrants as coolies, under con tracts binding them to the sorviee of particu lar persons. The coolie system, ho asserts, is nothing more than a form of slavery, and that if a prohibition is put upon it, no other mode of immigration is likely to reach such dimensions as to compete very injuriously with American labor. The Chinese quostion is coming beforo the public plainer and plainer every day as a source of dilliculty in the not very far dis tant future, and it is the duty of the Ameri can people to examine it carefully and impar tially from all points of view. Tho opinions of such a dispassionate thinker and such an able political economist as John Stuart Mill are of valuo in arriving at a right understand ing of the subject, and the sound, praotical common sense that he brings to its discussion will commend his argument to thoughtful men in this country, who are now ondeavor ing to calculato the intluencos that will be exerted on our future dosliny by the swarm of Asiatics who seem disposed lo seek our shores. THE KTA FFANJ) LINE D1FFICUL TV. Tub l!oard of Naval Officers, convened by order of the Secretary of tho Navy, to settle tho differences between the line and tho staff, has adjourned without having accomplished anything. This will surprise no ouo who has any acquaintance with the subject in dispute, as it wns scarcely within the range of possi bility that any satisfactory understanding couli be arrived at by such a method as this. The line officers have nothing to lose and nothing to gain in the controversy, and they are only interested in prescrviuc their own supremacy in all respocta by crushing out tho pretensions of the staff. Any compromise, therefore, that might be effected would be to the disadvantage of the btaff, and as they have not asked for anything more than they are justly entitled to, it is perfectly proper that they should refuse to accept less. Tho advance ment of the staff cannot injure tho lino in the least, and that it will wound their pride of place is of very little consequence to the nation, which is interested only in having the navy maintained at the highest stale of efficiency, and in giving to every officer and man in the service all the lights and privi leges that he can justly claim, and that will serve to make him contented with his posi tion. It now remains for Congress to tako up this dispute between the two branches of the naval service, and settle it finally by de fining exactly what tho duties, responsibili ties, rank, emoluments and rights of each officer are, so that there will be no occasion for futuro contention and no exouso for tyranny on the part of those who are entrusted with military command. Wi-ndkix riijT.urs is still in bad temper. In fact, if we should discover that Wendell wore in anything but a bad temper we should feel alarmed about his health, and lay his unusual sweetness to a sense of approaching dissolution and a desire to make his peace with his fellow-men ns a preliminary to a peace-making of even greater import. Among other causes for Wendell's latest scolding is the - discovery , by him that the war has not ended, but, on tho contrary, has just begun. As the great majority of tho people will persist in believing tho opposite, Wendell of course lashes himself into a fury about it, and, imagining evorybody elso to be in a fury, likens tho Southern pooplo to a bull-dog, and challenges them to combat. Wendell has en countered so many bull-dogs in his time that this last round will not attraot much at tention. ' . Tnn Qot'.stton op Cahtk. List evening, Henator Sumner achieved one ot his greatest oratorical triumphs at the Academy of Musio, which was filled to suffocation to listen to hi lecture on "Tho Question of Caste." Mr. Sumner's long association with tho anli ftlavery cause, and his careful study of the laws and customs which have borne oppres sively npon a certain class of our population, qualify him especially for an impartial and thorough discussion of this subjoot. It i needless to nay that his loctnro was not less a complete summary of the important qnestion, than a fore.iblo presentation of his own pe culiar views upon it. To-morrow evening the IJev. Hobcrt Collyer will appoar. Subject "Clear Grit."
