CORPORATION LICENSES.

Mr. FIit0r:-The official organ of the
Corporation in November announced that
after the lst of January, there would be a
great reduction in the charge for licenses,
and apoiogized for the onerous burdens
laid on coffee-kouses and stores. We all
looked forward for the report of the
Finance Committee in January, but what
was our astonishment on finding by the
report of said Committee, that "the noun
tain had labored and brought forth a
mousse" The same onerous burdens were
laid on cofee-houses and stores as before,
but an extra 800 were added to the re-
tailers of liquor by the bottle, to be paid
yearly in advance; instead Of making it
payable monthly or quarterly, as is the
case in New Orleans, where, by the way,
they only pay about 800 per annnm for
retailing liquor or beer by the bottle or
glass TO the Corporation, enough, in all
conscience; but that is far superior to pay
ing such a large sum as this Corporation
demands in advance. Now, l would ask
the Finance Committee of the Corporation
how they, the small store-keepers, are to
pay them, the Corporation, the enormous
sum of $3.50, besides having to pay the In
ternal Revenue and State $40 more, and
live in these dull times? If the city wants
revenue, would it not be to it's interest to
tax gambling houses? AS l see that the city
of Alexandria raises by that means almost
half its revenue and the Legislature talks
of licensing gambling houses in New
Orleans. A TAX PAYER.

BURGLARIEs.-On Friday night
several stores in our city were en-.
tered and various articles of mer-
chandise stolen therefrom, together
with what small sums of money hap
pened to be found in the drawers.
Eight fine revolvers were taken from
the showcase in JAsTREMsKI &
McCoRMIcK's Drug Store and some
small change from the money till.
Bits Of sperm were found dropped
about in the showcase and upon the
counter, showing that the burglars
went to work very deliberately in
their operations, by the aid of a
lighted candle.
The mode of ingress practiced by
the thieves was to turn the key in
the door lock by introducing through
the keyhole some sort of instrument
which clamped the end of the key SO
as to enable them to turn it at pleas,
ure and thus to unlock the door from
the outside. A number of other
store doors were found unlocked the
next morning, but owing to the fact
that there were additional ~fastenlngs
in the shape of bars or bolts, the
rascals failed to make an entrance.
1t is a great pity that these rob-
bers could not be detected and made
an example Of. They are running
the risk of being summarily checked
up in their career, and a dead bur-
glar may yet form n of the topics
of discussion among our citizens
before long.
