There is bill before our Legislature propos-
ing an abolition of our present Board of Excise,
and transfer Of their duties TO the Board of
Police Commissioners. Since it is certain that
the Board of Excise is failure and farce, being
neither ga terror TO evil doors" nor faithful
guardian of the City's pecuniary interest, we
trust that it may speedily 90 tho way of all sin
full flesh through the passage of the bill in queS-
ton And then, if the Police Board don't make
at least nineteen.twentetbs of the yum-scllers
pay the license fee required of them by law, we
will urge another change. The failure of the
present Board admits of no dispute.

ASSEMBLY

Much of the attention of the Senate was oc-
cupied yesterday in a consideration of MIR.
Stockton's case. The Judiciary Committee re-
port that he was duly elected, but it seems
doubtful whether the Senate will not reverse
the decision of the Committee. One dispatch
says there is majority of four for unseating
the New Jersey Senator. The question at issue
is a technical one--whether the joint conven'
ton that elected Mr.. Stockton by plurality
vote was the Legislature, and had right, as
such, to dispense with the majority rule.

Our dispatches report that the Committee OF
Ways and Means are as yet unable to agree on
any financial measure, or are doubtful as to the
passage of proper measure by the House. The
latter is no good reason for failing TO report such
a bill as the Committee can agree to report. III
the House see fit to reject good bill, the Com
mittee are not responsible. But let us have
some measure reported; thenwe cansee whether
the House means to defy the public opinion in
favor of speedy Resumption.
