Four men were killed and twenty wounded
in Mobile, and for what reason Not because
Judge Kelley uttered radical opinions, but be-
cause in Mobile the spirit of Rebellion is still
uncOnquered. But the other day one of her
papers boasted that Mobile was the last
city to surrender to the United States.
In spirit and intention the riot differed not one
whit from any battle of the war; and probably
only want of opportunity prevented massacre
as bloody as that in NewOrleans. If a
citizen of the United States cannot ad-
dress meeting i'll Mobile safely,
then Alabama cannot safely be admitted to
representation in Congress. There is but one
way to decide this difliculty-a deep and
broad line must be drawn between loyalty
and treason, such line as Gen. Sheridan has
drawn i'm Louisiana. After the experience of
New Orleans it is not creditable to
the military government OF Alabama that
this riot should have occurred That Judge
Kelley refused to speak again is not surprising !;
he should have been protected at first, and after
so narrowly escaping with his life, he has wisely
declined to offer himself again as target to
the Rebels of Mobile.

Russia has ratified the Russian Treaty-a
mere matter of form, as we presume Will be
the necessary appropriation by Congress. As
Russian America is now virtually transferred
to the United States, 1t is the business of the
people to see that the acquisition is not made
the pretext of unnecessary expenditure. We
need the cheapest kind of Territorial Govern
ment for this desOlate and remote country,
which cannot be made profitable to us by
civil officers and military posts, but only by
the individual enterprise of hunters, and fish
ers, and traders. 1t is the misfortune of our
legislation that when we spend $7,OOOOOO for a
specified object, we are not content till we
have spent S7O,OOO,OOO more. Walrussia should
be an exception to this rule.

TRAVEL AND TRADE.

Following close upon the adjournment of TIM
Legislature which defeated all efforts To- facil-
itate the entrance and exit of travellers. 10
our city comes the usual crusade of our CouR-
cimen upon the limited accommodations nov
permitted. The Cities of New York and BROOK
lyn are, so far as we know, the only places
that do not seek by facilitating intercourse to
attract customers to their business centen.
Now, to say that it is more dangerous to run
steam cars into and out Of the city than to run
then right through, as. is done in other
places is simply to be absurd.
The immense and constantly increasing num-
Der of business men who make their homes in
New jersey. instead of in Westchester, or on
Long Island, do so because thereby they avoid
a tax that is the heaviest of ALL because it il
one that no one, however rich, can afford. IL
is loss of time, amounting in most cases to at
least an hour or more per day. To show how
disastrous it is to locality ora street to ex-
change the better for the worse means of transit
we need go no further than Atlantic-st,
Brooklyn, from which the property ownen
drove the steam cars q few years since,
and compare its present dullness with its
former activity. New-YOrk should increase is
means of transit for passengers at once, and
instead of limiting them or seeking to drive
people away should bring them by steam al
the quickest rate of speed all through the city
quite to the Battery, which is the best possible
location for general depot for travellers North.
East, South, and West .f
Brooklyn is now in want of public market,
and Long Island needs market for her garden
truck and their only obstacle is this absurd
expulsion of the steam cars from the citJ
limits But for this the South Side Rail
road of Long Island might he brought down TO
tide-water on the east of WallabOut Bay.
which the map shows to be the center of tho
cities There passenger depot would be cen
tral, and market over the depot would be OF
incalculable benefit, as it would enable dealers
on that side of the East River to obtain their
supplies more quickly and cheaply.
An effort is now being made by the Common
Council to compel the Hudson River Railroad
Company to leave their locomotives at Fifty
third-st Rather than put travellers and
freighters to such gross Inconvenience, they
ought to allow full trains, drawn by dummy
engines, to be brought to the st. Johns Park
Depot, when completed, or even to the Battery.
Gentlemen of the Common Council: Till there
is an underground or some other city road
operated by steam, pray do not take away
what facilities the public now enjoy.
New-York tribune., 1867-05-16
THE LIQUOR QUESTION IN MASSACHU'


Massachusetts, has taken one bad step toward
the abolition of its wholesome Prohibitory
Law, and there, let us hope, it will pause A
majority report has been presented in its Leg
islature in favor of license as against prohbl-
ton, and appending a bill which provides for
licenses to inn keepers and victualers, to per-
sons who sell in quantities not less than one
gallon, or in the original packages,
and to apothecaries-city councils and
town meetings being at liberty TO prohibit these
licenses, and fix the sum to be paid for them
Every license hcars a condition that no public
bar shall be kept by the licensee, and that he
shall not sell o. sunday unless he be an apOthe-
cary or to minors or students, or to persons
whose unhappy wives request the contrary
Others than nn-bolders or yictualers shall not
allow drinking on their premises, and
these special classes are permitted to sell
only to dodgers and persons resorting
to their houses for meals Cider, beer and
malt liquors, containing not more than three
per cent of alcohol, may he sold by other per-
sons registered and supervised by the police.
Practically, this bill, instead of amending and
making etiectual the best provisions OF the
present safe and just law land this its makers
partly profess to do), would drive not to say a
coach and four, but whole bacchanalian
procession straishtway through it.
A minority Committee, whereof the Hon.
Caleb Swami and Messrs. Aldrich Flynn and
Mcclellan are members, representing some
seventy thousand remOnstrants, oppose the
projected license law with earnest and unan-
swerable logic. They show that tho present
prohibitory act is in fact law to regulate
the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors,
authorizing their manufacture and sale under
certain restrictions as also their importation
and expectation, and enabling every apothe-
cary to supply them for legal purposes.
Therefore, the law as a measure Of prohib-
ton is in every way moderate and tolerable,
and no more invades the rights of the citi-
zen than would substituted license act.
Opinions of Justices Shaw, Mclean, and Grier
