the Express Robhery.

The Express robbers seemed satisfied
with their sentences yesterday, as they
had been fearing hat the jury would in
Vlte them to stand beneath the gallows-
tree. The next thing to do is take ap-
peals to the Supreme Court and try and
get a new trial and then an acquittaI in
the course Of time, when witnesses die
out or leave the city and prosecutors be-
com worn out in fighting for justice.
The jury stood, eight for hanging the
robbers to four for Imprisonment in the
penitentiary. 1t is known that

A OUTLOOK.
The City Attorney Presents a
GLOOMY View Of city Anairs-whO
IL Responsible FOR All This?

In the General Council yesterday the
City Attorney presented a communities
ton on the financial condition OF the
city with a view to its law suits, etc. As
to the msndamus suits he says:
This litigation is useless, and the de.
lenses made by the city are unavailing.
1t therefore becomes necessary that
something should be done to put a check
upon 1t, and to save the enormous costs
that are accumulating with each sue.
ceeding case. Appeals may for a time
stay the DEGREES of the courts, and some
OF these cases will doubtless be reversed
but the debts will remain and the city
will gain nothing by the delay. The
past-due Interest now sum up a large
amount, so large that two and a half per
ceRt. of a AK would perhaps be neces-
sary to pay it Of, and if a year, or two
years Accommodations be added-the cou.
pons past-due bearing interest at the rate
OF seven per cent. greatly increase the
burden-the levy then must be four
or i've per cent, in order to meet inter
ests and costs, and the courts will not
hesitate to make you or your successors
levy the amount, no matter how much IL
will tend to depreciate property or to op-
press the poor taxpayers. . .
AS to the debts and liabilities of the
city and tsrevenues, ETC., he exhibits the
following figures and presents the follow.
ing reflections:
If the debt Of the city is to day Sc. $780,
900, and the property values for taxation
are only $25, 600, 900, and our annual ex-
penses are $370,0Oe, and the interest on
the debt is 1890 0O0-and this is making
no allowance for costs and damages,
which are an important ~fgure-then our
annual outlay must be $3.50, 600. Thisis
just about what the annual outlay of the
four years was, beginning with January
|, 1870, aud ending January /, 1874.
Then from 1926, 900, 900 we must exact
a tax OF % per cent. per mum. Then
bear in mind that Of the debt about So
100000 is due now and another 81, 00O,-
600 will mature in ten years. Now, if
we provide for this we must add a sink
ing fund tax of 2 per cent. more. The
expenses of the city will have to be re.
dueed from 100000 a year to $500, 900
and certain city property should be sold
in order to pay Of the enormous debt
hanging over the city.
The City Attorney winds up his ex-
haustivs and lengthy document as fol,
lows;
In this connection | would inform you
that Chancellor Morgan has decided that
parties who paid for the Nicolson when
laid are now entitled to pay in scrip any
tax levied on their property for said
pavement. This will necessitate the
levy of a much greater rate Of lax on
