The CLEANEsT CITY.--The editor of the
Baltimore -AmcriedR, writing from Paris,
SAYS that city may be safely set down As the
lowed to get dirty, being daily cleaned in
every part with scrupulous care. No dirt
is allowed to be thrown into the streets, and
there is not only no mud, but even the dust
is gathered up and carried away as fast as
il accumulates. This is not ouly the case
in the fashionable and business parts of the
city, but il is observable even in tine more
remote and least frequented districts in
which wehave penetrated. The streets are
generally paved with small square blocks OF
stone and are in the most perfect order, so
much so that in the narrower streets there
are as many persons walking on the paving
stones as on the pavements, which are only
three to five feet in width. Tho height of
the houses ranges from four 10 six or seven
stories, and in one-half of the city the
streets are not more than thirty feet wide.
The old portions OF Paris are paved with
square stone blocks. The same material ia
also used TO some extent in the new por-
tons, but they are generally covered with
species Of white cement, looking like one
solid piece of stone for an entire square,
without crack or break. The footways or
pavementS are also generally composed of
this material, and so far as | could observe,
it seems most durable. This cement is not
only swept, but washed oil early every
morning. There are also some of the
streets OF rolled gravel, ponderous rollers
being constantly kept moving over them, so
that there is no dust even in dry weather

CITY Finances.

Yesterday we published statement OF
the receipts and expenditures Of the city for
the last year, and the estimate made by
Mayor Baker of the revenue and necessary
expenditures for the current year. We add
to-day statement for the redemption of
the city debt and also the amount to be
collected this ycar by the special tax for
meeting the cty's bonds due ia May next
II will be seen that the estimate contem-
plates the payment of only forty per cent.
of the bonds; the balance, it is expected,
can be renewed. This payment cannot,
however, be made, unless the Council limit
its appropriations to the absolutely necessa-
~ expenditures of the city. The Mayor has
no veto power on the acts of the Council,
and upon its members must rest the respon-
sibility Of preserving the public credit, by
managing the citys financial affairs in
manner to enable her to meet such a por-
ton of her public debt, as to inspire conf
dence in the holders OF her bonds, and ena-
BILE her to renew them on advantageous
terms.

Returns have now been received from IS
counties, showing majority for Mr.. Letch-

Forty-eight counties are yet to be heard
