such publication must have pernicious effect;

We have now in Office in this city Board OF
three Excise CommissiOners-by names, Haskell,
Kerr and Holmes-whose Official prerogative it is
to grant and refuse Licenses to sell Intoxicating
Liquors upder the Act to Suppress Intemperance
of last session. Of that act, " reads as fol-
lows:
"S2. The Commissioners Of Excise shall meet 10
their respective counties at the place aforesaid on the
DAYS az majority Of the Commissioners shal appoint,
NOT exceeding ten days in any year and an the CRy
Of Nr York not exceeding ty days, for the purpose
Of granting licenses as hereinafter prescribed" &c
We think tho gentlemen above named have 81
ready been in session for the full term Of fifty days
sforesaid-at least, they should have been, as it is
now some seventy or eighty days since they entered
upon the discharge Of their duties prescribed BY
law. They have licensed great abundance of
liquor Dealers great many more than they could
license without agrantly violating tho restrictive
provisions Of the law which they are sworn to exc
cuts-and it is quite time they shut up shop and
took down their sign. We beg leave to call the at
tention of Controller Flagg to the provision Of
law above quoted and to notify him that if he sees
fit to pay or allow these gentlemen for more than
the fifty days service authorized by law, he will be
held personally responsible for the unwarranted
abstraction from the City Treasury Of the excess so
paid.
We are aware that the law above quoted is q
State law, and that such are not held Of much &C
count in this metropolis Of that future State OF
which Fernando Wood will naturally be chosen
first Governor; but We submit that this Excise Act
should be held exception to the general rule not
having been drawn or introduced BY q Black Re-
publican, but owing its existence to Senator from
this City, and having been voted for BY all our four
Senators, not one of them "Black Republican"
All the votes cast against it in the Senate and half
those in the House were cast by BLACK Repub.
leans" We submit, then, that until the Know
Nothing Councils and Tammany Society shall have
repudated it, this is one of the acts that ought to
be obeyed, even in this metropolis, the Liquor
Dealers' Association to the contrary notwithstand
Ing. Wherefore, Mr.. Flagg be pleased to shut
pan on the Excise Commission aforesaid
