Federal and State Authorities
in respect to Licenses.

We are informed that some persons
hostile to the Federal and friendly to the
Confederate government, are attempting
to make persons not we'll informed belize
We that when license is asked for and
obtained Of the Collector o. Federal Reve-
nue., as a retailer of liquors, that license
is full legal authority to sell liquors.
against any State Law forbidding such
business that Grand Jaries indict per-
sons tor violations of State anti-liquor
laws when they are pursuing the business
authorized by the federal government and
for which they have duly paid the reqair-
ed tax.
The persons who thus attempt to excite
prejudice against the government in the
minds Of ignorant or unthinking persons,
themselves know better. They know
that they have sinister purpose in view,
which is no less than to oppose the FEEDER.
al government.
The Excise Tax Law conflicts with no
State laws. The 9th Section of the Ex-
ci-c Tax Law is as follows:
"SEc. 81. And be 1t further enacted.
That no license hereinbetore provided for
if granted, shall be constructed to author
ize the commencement or continuation of
any trade, business, occupation, or EN-.
ployment therein mentioned, within any
State or Territory of the United States
in which it is or shall be specially pro-
hibited by the laws thereof, or in viola
ton of the laws of any State or Ter
ritory: Prorided, Nothing in this act
shall be held or constructed so as to
prevent the several States, within the
limits thereof, from placing duty, tax,
or license, for State purposes, or any
business matter or thing on which
duty, tax, or license is required to be
paid by this act"
1t needs no argument to show that if
person is pursuing business that is
forbidden by law of the State, that
business is not legalized by federal Ii
cense which is virtually issued as re-
cept for the payment Of the required tax
on that business. The retailer announces
his business to the Assessor, and pays his
tax to the Collector. If he reports him
self to be carrying on business that is
unlawful in the State. and pays the tax.
it is his own fault. He is not required
by the Excise Law to pay tax on an
unlawful business.
The Excise License does not make a
business lawful which by State law is un-
lawful it does not even confer authority
to carry on any business whatever nor
does it forbid the prosecution of that busi-
ness as penalty for non-payment OF tax
it simply imposes fine for refusal to
pay the tax which the business man vol
unfairly reports as his business. 1t is
simply receipt for the tax paid, specify
ing the kind of business reported to the
Assessor and for the time the tax IS paid.
The "License" has no legal force beyond
this.

Abicore had arrived, and he in turn had
bribed his men to assist in the plot"
He was severely rerpimanded by Cap
tain Barton, who declared that he should
be degraded if anything of the kind ever
happened again. But for the present he
was allowed to continue in office as usual,
on promising never to repeat the offense.
The crew were summoned aft, and the
captain informed them that he had dis
covered plot to delay the ship, in which
many Of them had been engaged. lie
knew very well who these men were, he
said, and if any man was hereafter de-
tected in keeping the ship from her legiti-
mate course, or otherwise disobeying the
sailing directions, he should be put in
irons, and delivered up to the proper au-
thorities when the ship arrived in port.
After this the mate kept vigilant
watch, but the conspiracy had been effec-
tually checked for the remainder of the
passage both wind and weather favored
the "homeward bound" and on the
twenty-second day from this time, the
sight of Cape Cod gladdened the eyes of
the crew. The first salutaton with which
Captain Barton greeted the pilot was
'lIas the Albcorc arrived ?"
"No, sir; but her owners expect her
daily. Heavc up your wheel. Fill away
the main topsail'
Scituate, Cohassct rocks, the Graves,
the outer light and the forts, were soon
passed, and at two o'clock in the after
noon, the Sea Nymph dropped her anchor
in Boston harbor.
A train of cars left Boston for Mill
vile at three o'clock, and Capt. Barton
hastened to the railroad station as soon
as he could leave the ship, but he arrived
a few minutes too late, and as the next
train did not start till six o'clock in the
evening, he returned to the ship to put
himself in better trim to appear before
his lady love" As he passed torough
State street, he stepped into the Mcr-
chants Exchange to look at some files of
foreign papers, and while there chancci
to cast his eye upon the open book which
contained the list Of arrivals in port for
the day.
