The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1857-04-17

The bill for the suppression Of intemperauce
by the regulation of the ea!e of intoxicating
liquors has passed both branches of cur State Lee
gislsture, and requires only the signature of the
Governor to become q law. 1t is a remarkable
document and will create an excitement among
liquor dealers AID liquor consumers hardly less
intense than that which followed the passage Of
the Maine Liquor law. The bill will be found in
another part OF to-days Herald, but for those
whose time will not allow them to give much at
tention to its details, we present review of its
principal features
1t provides, in the first place for the appoint
ment by the Chief Justice of the Superior Court
and the presiding Judge of the Court of Common
Pleas and Recorder of the city and county Of
New York, Of three reputable freeh0lders, resi-
dents OF the county, who are to consti-
tute Board of Excise Commissioners. Each
county in the State Is to be provided
with one of these Boards the members Of which
are to he appointed by the County Judge and
two Justices of the Sessions. The Excise
Boards of the rural districts are to meet not
more than ten days In the year for the purpose
of granting licenses while the Board for the city
of New York are allowed fifty days for the same
purpose The license granted to storekeepers
refuses permission to sell liquor to be drank On
any part of the premises Each violation of the
terms Of the license Is punishable with fine Of
not less than thirty, and not more than one hun
bred dollars
Applicants for licenses are obliged to produce
proofs Of good moral character, and that they
are able to keep all the necessary accommoda-
tons for travellers which consist in the language
of the bill itself of "three separate beds, with good
ard sufficient bedding" good and sufficient
stabling and provender of hay In winter and
pasturage in summer, with grain for four horses"
The absence Of any of the articles enumerated
In the bill as necessary for the accommodation
of travellers Is punished, on conviction, by q
fine of ten dollars. This provision does not Of
course apply to storekeepers.
The sale of liquors to minors, without the
consent Of the master or mistress, Is punished by
enc Of ten dollars, and every case Of intoxica-
ton by q fine Of twenty-five. Every person ap-
plying for q license Is required to have-his petit

dollars, executed and delivered with sufficient
sureties in the sum Of five hundred dollars, to be
approved by the Excise Board

whose wife may have entered acomplaint against
him Of hsbitual drunkenness, under penalty Of
fifty dollars. The same provision applies in the
case Of complaint against the wife by the hus-
band There is also provision prohibiting the
sale of liquor on Sundays
The law goes into effect Immediately after It's
signature by the Governor.
TIE DEMOCRACY IN TRoUBLE-A HUBBUp N
TAxMASY HuI--Ever since the Custom House
appointments of this city tie democracy of Tam
many Hall have been in the most efervesceut
state, endeavoring 10 conciliate their own turbu-
lent section, and to produce harmony out Of the
most inharmonious materials on this side of
Psndemonium Meetings have been held on
meetipgs-rum has been consumed by tho barrel
curses have been sworn that would sink the
Holy City iself-doubled up Hsts have been ex-
hibted that would have intimidatod the savages
Of the South Sea; but all have as yet produced
no harmony, no Cancellation, no peace.
One Of the most singular features Of this new
mighty Goth, Is now out of the Aeld-never
thought of-produces no sensations placed on |
the shelf and is preparing 10 visI, Europe, 20 up
the Mediterranean, and kneel In the Holy Sepul- |
chre for the next two years Of his life. The split
Is now altogether Of q different character. |
The new appointees who came from Wash
ington few weeks ago, with their pockets
N. Sanders, Capt Rynders, Daniel z. Sick!es and |
Mr.. FowIer-bavc swallowed up Fernando |
Wood, and have been endesvoring TO garrote |
even the new Collector, the indomitsble Mr.. |
Schell As yet the great contest who shall have
the committees and who shall have the Council |
of Sachems is undecided.
We understand that both cllques have issued |
manifestoes for private meetings tonight In diff
fcrcnt parts Of the city. Hart Sanders, Rynders |
& Co. arc TO have meeting at the Westchestcr |
House, in the Bowcry this evening, to agree upon
q ticket for new Council OF Sachems to be pre- |
eented at the Tammsny Society election on Mon |
day next The other party have called similar |
meeting, also 10 agree upon q ticket, at the Chi
nese Building, No. 55 Broad~ay, this evening, |
