\ The 'Act for the Suppression of
Drinking. Houses and IiPpling.Shops'
passed at the last session ofsthe Leg.
islature, has been in operation in this
city for about three months, and I

AT the time Of its passage there
were supposed to be in this city from
200 to 500 shops and other places
where intoxicating liquors were sold
to all comers. AT the present time
there arc no places where such III.
quors are sold openly, and only o few
where they are sold at all, and that
with great caution and secresy, and
only to those gho are personally
known to the keepers, and who can
be relied upon not TO betray them
to the authorities These places,
with one (possibly with two) excep.
tions, are Of the loE est character;
and SO far as they sell these lli9uors
at all, minister to the deprayed appe.
tites Of the basest part of our popula-
ton; but the keepers Of these places
will soon be brought to justice, %
that the traffic in intoxicating liquors,
to be used as drink, win be entire.
ly extinguished in this city. The
shops which | allude to ara kept ;al.
most exclusively by, foreigners, and
tho few persons who are now brought
to the lookup in the watch.hoase, are
the customers Of these places, and
are themselves Foreigners almost
without exception. The stock of ii.
quors which the keepers ofthess pla.
cos had on hand when tho law vent
into operation will soon be exhausted,
and some difficulty will be found by
them in replenishingtsheir steres, 80
the law will enable us to atop entire
ly the supplies Of theae liquors, which
have hitherto been received principal.
ly by railroad and'stsamboat. s&9s
