Mayor Wood and the Eaine Liquor Law
1t seems to be understood that Mayor Wood
has determined to decline attempting to on.
force tbs Maine liquor lav of Now York, on
the 4th of July, when it was to have gone
into effect On that day, at least three hun
dred thousand persons usually walk ths streets
and parks of Now York, many of whom are,
of course, " half seas over" Mayor Wood is
said to comprehend the fact that to attempt to
| enforce this unconstitutional ordinance on that
day, in New York, would surely lead to
frightful and fe-consuming riots He will
commence its enforcement on the next day
the 9Th. The Herald says that Mayor Wood
has been advised by the legal officers of the
| corporation that the law has no bearing what
ever on imported liquors, and that he conse.
quently designs enforcing it as against the
sale of American wines and liquors only,
| witch though it may affect the pockets of
| American producers amazingly, will make but
little difference, indeed, in the quantity of
wines and liquors consumed in the city of New
York.
The Coddcation of the Laws.-Wo have
gain to call tho attention Of our fellow citi.
| IONS of the District of Columbia to the fact
that the two legal gentlemen selected By the
President to carry out the law of tho late SOS.
sion directing the codifcation of the juri,pru
dence of the District of Columbia, are busily
engaged on that work in an apartment in Cor
coran's building, at the corner of Fifteenth and
streets. We mention the fact to induce
t'.Osc who, knowing the legal wants of this
community in any particular, and feoling anx-
JUS that the change to be made may be as
beneficial as possible, may avail themselves Of
the invitation of the codifsrs, some time since
extended to all, through the Star, and make
- them (the codifers) suggestions in writing.
such as they may deem proper.
Pay Of Army and Eavy Officers in Courts
Iartial.-Claims of many officers, summoned
- attend army courts N artiaI, and vics versa,
have frequently been present,d-the navy
officers supposing that they were entitled in
such CAGES TO the army allowances. 1t is held
that as the pay and emoluments in esch ser.
vice sre fixed by Law and regulation, the al
lowances to army and navy officers attending
courts martial in either service must be gov
erned by the laws and regulations of tho ser
vice TO which they respectively belong.
