Mr.. BLIss-In answer TO the well written g

VIII hrst quote from the law regulating hcen-
ses existing previous to the passage of the law by
the late legislature, and Which is still in force.
Sec. 1st provides that g The County Commits
sioners OF the several counties of this Territory
may, at any regular especial meeting of the
board, grant licences to the keepers of Inns and
laverns, being residents of their county, to sell
strong and spirituous liquors and wines, to be
drank IN or out OF their houses respectively, and
10 determine the sum TO be pad 7 such licenses bu
each person applying, which shall be not less than
1--WE dollars, nor more than twent y-five dollars"
After defining the power, the manner, the time
and the price for winch the County Commissions
ers may grant Licenses, Ii goes on and says Do
1913 and 1874:
Sec. 5. No license shall be granted to any
tavern-keeper, innholder or grocer, until the ap-
plicant shall have executed and delivered TO the
Commissioners bond to the County, in It's cor

may deem requisite, with sufficient securities con-
dluoned that said applicant, during the continuance
of such license will not suffer his house or grocery

NEW YORK RIOT.

The city of Ner York has recently been
the scene Of the most dlsgraceful riots that
have occurred for long time in the U. States :;
originating m desire ofpre- eminenee on the
part of two play actors-Macready and For
rest. 1t appears that Forest had heretofore
been Missed from the London Stage, where
Macready was favorite, and upon the ap-
pearance fthe latterin New Y ork the friends
OF Forrest, instigated by spirit of reta liation,
and urged on by Forrest himself, (who it ap-
pears to US, must be laborng under derange-
rnent Of mind) determined to drive him Mac
ready from The Stage OF the Astor Place OPP
era House. The friends of both parties assem-
bled at an early hour on the night of May 10th
and general row was soon commenced
The Military were called out by the city au-
thorities, and before quiet could be restored,
it was found necessary to apply the force of
leaden arguments, which resulted in the death
Of some 25, and wounding of about 80 others.
1t is said that Ned Buntline was the leader of
the mob. He was arrested and confined in
Jail. This is but summary account of
most disgraceful affair, but enough to satisfy
our readers that great excitement must have
prevailed in the city. We are glad to a
Trustworthy determination on the part of the
Mayor to restore order, in which he will be
borne out, in opposition to the wishes Of a GER
tain set of political demagogues, who would
be perfectly willing to see one half OF the in
habitants of the city sacrificed, if Thereby they
could obtain the privilege of lording it over
the other half.
Macrcady has left the city, and no farther
ance of the disgraceful riot.

FIRE AT SOUTHPORT.

An alarm of fire was given on Sunday NOR
ming, which was found to proceed from the
store of w. p. Watties. The flames spread
rapidly, and every effort TO save the building
proved unavailing; part of the merchandise
In 1t however, was saved. A dwelling house
owned by r. S. Dunn, and occupied by Mrs
Waldo, was also burned. The amount of loss
sustained by Mr.. Wattles we have not learned;
we are informed he had an insurance Of s., 900
on the goods, and s 500 on the building. The
dwelling house was insurd for some $500 in

CHoLERA.-Ths scourge of humanity is
evidently epProaching stillnearer to our vicin-
ify. We understand that Mr. Richard Bur-
nett, who had recently returned from ST.
Louis, died Of Cholera at Diamond Grove on
Sunday night last, and also that MIR. {name not
known) who had also just returned from St.
Louis, died in Dodgeville few days since,
of the same disease. Is it not time for our
.'City Fathers" to see that cleanliness is OBJ
served by every class of our citizens.

70 Some excitement was created In this
town on Friday last on account of an applica-
ton before the Judge of Probate, of VIM Stave-
ly for letters of Guardianship of an orphan
Child, the infant daughter of deceased Sis
ter of the applicant. The application was re-
sented by James McDougal and others on the
ground of i'll treatment towards the Child, by
the family of Stavelv. 1t appears that the
Child had been kept for several days & nights,
in a ''Boot Box" placed in room attached to
the house Of Stavely, in situation not at all
calculated to improve the health of sickly
Child at the tender age of four years, from
which place 1t had been taken by McDougal
and placed under the care of Mrs. Harrison.
1t was urged in extenuation, on the part of the
applicant, that the disposition and 1ilthy hab-
its of the Child were such as to render il of
fensive to the family; hence the reason of its
being thus kept.
The cause was conducted on the part of the
applicant by VIM. r. SMITH Esq who avail
ed himselfof much ofthe Lawyers privilege
In examining the witnesses and comment
ing upon the testimony. SAMUEL CRAwroRD
Esq.,who had been employed to resist the ap-
plication, conducted the opposite side with
degree of candor and ability, characteristic of
that gentleman as lawyer. After listening
to the testimony, and arguments of council,
Judge Lloyd refused the application, which
tended greatly to quiet the excitement.
We understand the Child has since been
sent to its grandparents, in Ireland.
