TAG ALDERhEN's LIQUOR MovENHNr-We
gave a synopsis yesterday of the debate on the
nquor question in the Board of Aldermen on
Monday evening by which 1t may be CLEANED
ths, the Board is likely TO pass some sort of
bill on the subJsct. The Propositions to
suppress tipping shops and stop the sale of
spitituous, malt. Including lager beer,) aud
olher intoxicating liquors, in quantities of not
less than pint. it 10 believed will become a
Law. if the Fathers' can agree on the proper
animation Of each others views on the vexed
subject All agree to put down the enemy
but they sevsrally have their different ways of
putting him down DIR Msgruder would
Danish him altogether, Dr. BOrrows would
chain him. Mr.. Hill would regulate him, Mr..
Pepper would have him go as the De 1ple
plesses, and the veteran Houston would let him
90 at large, " seeking whom he may devour,"
thinking he would not be so very furious as
some imagine, if people would let him alone
Some wish TO kill him by the withdrawal of
licenses; others by the increase Of the cost of
them; and another party by = moral suasion i"

against him; and in the meantime, " Captain
Whisky" is attending to his business most har-
moniOusly-in his way of harmony. He sta nds
boldly up with the ~ white. red, and bIue''
liquors as his Gag, and does not seem to care
whether they put him down or not, because be
viii go do1H, 10 matter what the honorable
Board OF Aldermen may do to prevent it or
help IT, Ine whole matter resolves itself into
this-that the disagreements of the foes of the
"Csptain," in both Boards, may probably
prevent the final passage of an act, although
We think the Aldermen will O. discharge the
duty by passing Mr.. Hills bill, or some.h hing
like it; and there the matter will end, or be
wrapped in glorious mystery as to future
events.
The following is a copy of the act in full as
proposed by Mr.. Hill, president of the Board
Of Aldermen

HE ANTI Know NOTHING MEErIys To-
NIGHr-Thls meeting, which is to take place
at Carusis saloon TO- night, Is expected t. be
very large inasmuch az those who are getting
Ii up Gave evidently exerted themselves TO
make 1t imposing. They have invited mauy
gentlemen from abroad who have consider able
reputation as public speakers, to address them
on the occasion, more or less of whom will
doubles do 30. 1t is expected that MANY
persons who heretofore acted with the Whie
party. will signify by their presence and par.
ticipation IN the proceedings that they will no
longer act with that political organization
ualess they cut themselves loose from all sus
plcion OF sympathy for, and Identification with,
the ne" know Nothing party. An interesting
time may be expected.
We haze heard anticipations Of row there
They are doubtless unfounded; as those in
Washington who are unfavorsble to the pur-
pose of the meeting, will surely have the good
sense. if not TO keep away, at least carefully
to abstain from in any way interfering in the
proceedings of the evening Besides, those
who will 90 there to participate in the affair
in good faith, will doubtless be sufficiently
strong to protect themselves against moless q.
ton from any quarter whatever, if any should
be disposed to modest them, which We do not
believe.
