pal finances into q pretty pickle. Lee
gslly the city can contract no additional
debt; neither the Council nor the Legls-
lature can authorize this, for the consti-
tuition OF the State fixes the limit, and
that limit has been reached. The rate OF
taxation cannot be increased, because the
charter of the city fxes maximum be-
yond which we cannot 60, and that max
imum figure is the one adopted for this
years levy. Yet our enterprising Coun-
Gil has cut its pattern for the years
work much too large for its cloth. The
inevitable result of this policy
will be that city warrants
on its treasury will soon be
floating around dishonored and depreci-
ated; the fair credit of the city will be
tsrnished; and not only the city's tinan-
css but the city's work as well will be in.

Sweeney suit to be Compromised.
NEW YORK, June 6.-The Times states
that the report Is current that the case of
the people against Sweeney for 1000
600 is to be compromised on the payment
of S250,000. The counsel, however, de-
MED all knowledge OF such sproposal.
NEW YORK, June 6.-The Sweeny
trial is before Judge Westbrook The
counsel for Sweeny are ia consultation
with the Judge in regard to the settle.
ment of the suit. The Express says that
100000 will probably be the amount
agreed upon.
1t is understood that q reasonable
length OF time, in which restitution can
be effected, will elapse, when if the agree
ment shall have been complied with the
causes against Peter B. Sweeney will be
formally stricken from the docket. 1t is
also reported that Oakley Hall
will be apt to consider return
TO the land of his birth. 1t
is also said that this disposal OF
Sweeney suits will go far towards effect
ing Tweeds release. 1t is reported that
the Boss received the announcement OF
the withdrawal of the suits In very
happy state OF mind, at Ludlow street
Jail, this afternoon, and that he looks on
the event IS long stride toward his final
release.
Shortly before three o'clock, Judge
Westbrook made the following announce
ment: 81 am informed, gentlemen OF
the jury. by the counsel tor the respect
i've parties to this suit, that an arrange
ment has been made by which the estate
OF Jas M. Sweeney, deceased, has agreed
10 pay the plaintiffs considerable sum
OF money on acc Junt of the demands
sought to be recovered in this action,
and under these circumstances 1t has
been deemed unwise further to press this
trial. 1t may be proper for me to say, In
passing, that the terms OF the arrangement
SO far as they have been communicated
TO the court, involve no concession Ly or
reflection upon the defendant. The
amount TO be paid is 100000. This sum
is to be handed owe by Hugh Smith, as
executor of the estate of james M.
Sweeney, deceased, brother OF Peter b.
Sweeney.

also said he was satisfied that millions OF
