We do not doubt that many good men are
favorable to q change and swallow the
sophistry and stupidity that temperance will
be promoted by licensing men to sell, but
still We are confident that every liquor deal
er in the State takes the same ground. and
that this interest at the bottom OF the license
movement. We should have more respect
for these license philosophers with their su-
percilious assumptions Of - practical wis
dom. were it not that every fact in our
experience and history relutes their shallow
conceits and superficial expedients. We
have tired license for two hundred years,
and it has failed constantly and notoriously.
1t has failed always and everywhere. Look
at New York. The Safe is flooded with
rum under an 4" excise law" The liquor
dealers of that State assail the excise law
with the same arguments which in this
State are used against a prohibit
ory law. Every argument used in this
State for a license law is most con-
spicuOusly refuted by the operations OF
the excise law IN New York The law is
violated and disregarded, and constantly and
universally, and the evil of intemperance on
the increase.
Among all the delusions which have i'm
posed upon popular credulity none Is more
strange than this theory: that the cause of
temperance can be promoted by licensing
men to sell rum and manufacture drunkards.
But restraint, regulation, since you cannot
stop the evil, is the answer. But is il not
plain if this Is good logic and good ethics
so far as the evil and wrong of liquor sell
ing is concerned, it is good for all inevitable
evils, and justifes licenses for houses of i'll
lame as well as dram shops, But while
many honest men favor license law to pro-
mote the cause Of temperance, the chief ad-
vOcacy and espousal comes from the liquor
interest which cloaks under fair pretences of
public good, the Unsuitable greed Of money.
We VAIN our legislators that after all the
sophistries and bluster of the Iquor interest,
there remains the intelligent, sober and Wig
liant people who will not be humbugged or
moved, and they insist upon prohibitory
law and fair trial. 1t is too late, gentle
men liquor dealers. Revolutions do not 20
back. We have outgrown license and can't

The Mnier QuesIion.

The Times calls our attention TO two con-
-iderations in favor Of the Lake plan, viz,
that by the unanimous testimony Of our
medical men, the water OF the lake is vastly
preferable to that of the river -; and that
1.-The right to take water from the river
would probably be costly purchase"
Tie question Of parity Of the water. IS to
-ur mind an all important one, IN this hu,i-
rces. 1t is the question. II the river water.
wlen properly settled, is not suitable fer
mestic and culinary purposes, We do not
want it. If it is. there eau be no question
that the river will be the cheapest source of
supply.
We are aware Of no testimony Of our me-
deal men upon the subject, except that of
DR.. Thayer, who in his report as Health
Officer, Feb. 1866, says 1.-The great purity Of
the waters Of winooski river and Lake
Champlain, if brought in general use, would
, event many distressing complaints, origin
: ;ng from the use of well and spring water"
IS looks as if one certainly of our medical
l.. n, had no great choice between river and
]. &c water, and considered either preferable
II that in lost general use in our city.
But this matter of the quality of the water
is nothing that need be left to conjecture; nor
has it been. Ii was investigated last summer
by committee consisting of I f. Wales,
Lawrence Barnes, o. A. Dodge, and 7. d.
Ballou,-four gentlemen whose reputation
for good judgment and competence to decide
such a question, certainly needs no endorse
lent of ours They commenced their invtsti.
,tion with the conviction, as they stated in
t.eir report, that the lake was the true
tource of supply, and they ended with the
conviction that " the quality Of the river
water is as good, If not better than the Lake
water" Among the things which led the
Committee to this decision was the analysis
of the waters made by Prof. Seeley, who re-
ported no great difference between them. the
river water however being triae softer than
the lake water, and depOslting sooner the
impurities held in suspension IN it,
Mr.. McAlpine considered the river water
- but little Inferior" nearly equal
to the lake, and recommended the river
ss on the whole the best source of supply.
Against these we have the opinion of Mr..
Linsley, an able engineer whose opinion is
nquestionably entitled to weight, who was
cnce in favor Of the river, but who has
reached the conclusion that the Lake will
furnish the better water. lie is backed in
thir belief by Mr.. Slade, civil engineer, and
by the majority of the Board of Aldermen,
who have been givirg careful attention to
ne subject, and whose general good judg-
iaent, ability and sincerity We do not ques-
ton.
Clearly it Is a case IN which the doctors
disagree" Bot noting the tact that the
pinions unfavorable to the river are msinly
hised on conjectures and spprehensions of
hat NAV be its condition a number Of years

testimony in favor Of the river water is de-

TuE CIVIL SERVICE BILL.-An animated
discussion took place in the House on We'd
nesdaY on the 3" Civil service BILL" The
bill is one which emanated from the Com
mIttee on retrenchment, and is quite distinct
from the Tenure of Office bill, though de-
signed to supplement that measure and at
tain some Of the same ends Mr.. Jenckes of
Rhode Island, who has charge of the bill,
stated that the original draft upon which it
was based was prepared during President
Lincoln's term Of Office. 1t proposes a very
radical reform in the civil service. BY the
appointment OF a Board Of Commissioners.
whose duty 1t shall be to prescribe the quail
lfcations necessary for an appointment to
any subordinate position in any branch of
the civil service, and to provide for the eI.
animation of all applicants for such appoint
ment. By this mean. it is sought to make
capacity, integrity and good moral character
take the place of political influence and par
tisan favor, in securing positions.
Mr.. Woodbridge OF Vermont opposed the
bill as containing many Objectionable
features. He admitted its good purpose,
but argued that it would not tend to pre-
vent corruption in the departments. Cor
ruption ersrs into every department and
