DIR CITY FINANCES.

The Press and Times yesterday, treat
ing on this all important subject, says
'In considering the questions of pecuni-
! airy trouble, by corporations a. we'll as by
individuals, an easy solution is found while
there remains an ability to pay. Pay up
as promptly as possible, to stop interest,
and with the least sacrifice of means, is
the advice alike of private and political
economy. Bat where there exists an i'm
ability TO pay mp without great or ruinous
sacrifice, the questions involved often be-
come of the most perplexing character,
and demand for their solution the greatest
financial wisdom and experience"
That journal then proceeds to refer to
the meeting of the Municipal Finance
Committee with portion of our citizens
on Saturday night, whereat a committee
was appointed to look into the pecuniary
troubles of the city, and to suggest a
practicable exit Two ways are suggested,
and only two-both of which bristle with
difficulties. One is to borrow by issuing
bonds, the other a special tax. The
former does not stop interest but in
creases 1.-THE other encounters legal
obstacle which may be insurmountable.
In this dilemma, the Press and Times
leaves the committee and the subject.
1t seems never to have occurred to the
acting city government that it is possible
to reduce expenses, and thereby save
enough to pay current expenses, and
gradually take up the city checks out
standing Men of experience and obser-
walton in city affairs, are of opinion that
the police under the present system costs
twenty thousand dollars or more than
the necessities of the city demand. They
believe that the City Attorneys office
absorbs more than is necessary. They
are disposed to inquire why the Mayor
should be surrounded by Private Sec
rotary and messengers, and why any
number of other supernumerary PEN
sioners on the public bounty should be
retained and supported, in these distress
sing times of business depression. When
everybody is prosperous and full-handed,
and have the money in their pockets to
pay these taxes, such things pass unob-
served; but when it is proposed to Issue
bonds to pay interest, or levy special
taxes to pay checks, which are being is
sued every day-when it may soon be.
come necessary to issue more bonds to
pay interest," and when the special tax to
pay checks may become a perpetual tax
to pay perpetually issuing checks, the
public require action adequate to the oc-
casion.
The committee is an able one, and
commands the respect of the community.
They expect it to not merely consider the
two propositions presented, but go into
an investigation of the daily expenses of
the city, and ascertain whether they cam
not safely be curtailed--whether under
rigid economy and general retrench-
ment, with a resort to temporary expedio
ents, the desired relief cannot be obtained
without resort to either of the methods
proposed

Information has been received that the
Stockholm newspaper, the Nocksblot, adj
vises the Swedish government TO follow
the example of Denmark by selling to the
United States its West India Island, ST.

European monarchs are retiring from this
continent under the influence of the Mon
roe doctrine.
United States Senator Morton, of Indi-

large audience tonight in the hall Of that
association, his subject being the issues of

the complete restoration of the Southern
State governments into the hands of the
Rebels, by the defeat of the Congressional
plan of reconstruction, and that the sue
cess Of the Democratic party directly In,
volved the compensation for slaves, the
assumption of the Rebel war debt, and the
pension of Confederate soldiers and their
widows and orphans. He anslyzed Gen.
Hancock'srecent order, which the President
had laid before Congress, saying il made
no mention whatever Of the business of re-
construction, but was directed entirely to a
recognition Of the legal character of the
existing State governments, and that the
President pledged himself to sustain them
fully in the extension of their powers. If

SOMETHING WRONG IN MEMPHIS
BRowNLow DIssATIsFIEp-The Governor
has issued a proclamation, dated 9th
inst, removing from Office JAS. j. Davis,
Commissioner of Registration for Shelby
county-declaring his appointment of the
Judges and clerks to hold the municipal
election of Memphis null and void and
also declaring null and void all certif-
Gates Of registration issued by him since
that things in Memphis were taking an
uniavOrable turn for the Brownlow Radi~
Gals, and the Governor steps in to rectify
the matter. 1t appears that the judges
and clerks appointed by Davis were not
Of the right stripe, and that he issued
certificates after the 10Th inst. to persons
Brownlow thinks ought not to vote
There was serpent Of some sort crept
into the Radical Eden of Memphis on the
..Jlh Of December, which was about to
destroy the happiness Of the sinless
Radical inhabitants Of that city, and the
Rev. Mr. Brownlow put his heel upon the
head Of Davis. There is, of course, d
great deal behind this proclamation
which the public has not yet seen, but
which we trust will be in due time ex-
posed Memphis can no more get along
without a bones-nnd-banjo government
than Nashville. The bummers must have
Office, or the Radical party goes up the
spout
But where does Gov Brownlow obtain
his authority to remove judges aud
clerks Of election already appointed by
a lawful Commissioner Of Registration,
acting under Radical law and holding
the commission Of Brownlow himself
He derives il from no law upon our
statute books With the same propriety
he could declare the decision Of ore of
his Judicial appointees null and void
Neither can he find any law giving him
power to anuul a part Of the registration
in any county, without annuling the
whole. IL he can declare the registration
void from date to date, he has equal
power to annul the certificates granted
on account Of color. There iSno authority
for either, and his proclamation is a more
absurd and unjus6fable invasion of law,
than Davis acts, however ta3 they may
have been 1t is simply rsiiiiy, and has

New York ana other Itsms

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.--The steamer San
Francisco, from Greytown, arrived 10. day.
Thomas Mexican, Edward Goodray and
Washington Goodray were arrested, and
have been identified as the robkars Of the
messenger of the Bank Of sassSsefe of
New York.
Ellen Porter, of CINCINNATI, has been
recognized as one Of the killed by the
Angola railroad disaster.
1t is stated that one Thomas, a stock
broker, borrowed $4,000 worth of railroad
stocks Saturday, giving his checks for the
same on the Leather Manufacturers Bank,
where he had al account; Immediately
after which he sold the stocks for cash, and
deposited the proceeds TO his credit at the
bank. A sherif's officer levied upon the
amount under two executions, for about
100000. One of the judgments on which
execution was levied was in favor of his
brother, and it is reported that judgment
was confessed in one instance By the drawer
of the checks; one of these, for about $685.
600, was certified before the sheriff made
his levy, but the five or six uncertifed
checks have been refused payment.
Several large manufacturers in Morrisona
have discharged large number of hands.
The Tribune to day, in an editorial on
the removal of Gems. Pope and Ord, says
that Gen. Grant in reconstruction is a mere
clerk. he has no power, no responsible
lty, no embarrassing questions to decide,
nothing to do with giving immediate issue
he is nothing more than a checked pawn
on our chess board, while the President
controls the same and captures the men
piece by piece. We protest against this
injustice to Gen. Grant. We believe he
would rather be with us, carrying out re-
construction, than to be the captive of
johnson and the bulwark of ais admins
tration. If Gen. Grant has any power,
now is the time to use it. If he has not,
let some friend demand for him. If Con-
gress fails, then he owes it to his fame to
leave the administration of Mr.. johnson.
The World approves the removals, and
sees in them some CLEANS of sense in the
strange message which the President sent
to Congress, eulogizing Gen. Hancock and
declaring the principle on which the adj
ministration of the fifth military district
will hereafter be conducted SO long as
these principles can be maintained by the
selection of the commanders. Explaining
to Congress the reasons of these removals
would look like acknowledging an ac-
countability for acts which are completely
within his province. As Commander-ins
Chief of the army he was therefore under
the necessity of explaining the grounds of
his action, if he explained at all, by some
artiice of indirection which brought his
communication within the usual forms,
and yet made no concession of right in
Congress to hold him answerable for his
military orders.
