TIE EXCISE LAW.

Tho adjourned meeting for conference between the
liquor dealers OF New York and Brooklyn and tho mem.
bers OF Assembly for those cities held yesterday
the Aston House.
The meeting having been called to order by Mr.
Charles Herbert, who oricstod "a chairman, Mr.
McKeon the counsel for tho Now York Liquor Dealers
Association said he regretted to ind that the Brooklyn
delegates had not properly understood the object Of the
present meeting. He had considered II arranged
at tho last meeting that they would bring their counsel
to confer with him TO the bill repeating or
mod Tying the present o6ious and iyranncal Excise
law TO be submitted for the consideration and decision
OF the Legislature. Ii seemed TO him 10 be matter
OF some difficulty to word IL so rs to prot oct alike the
interests OF Now York city and Kings county the
former city claimed that her ancient charter centuries
old, secured her from any interference the part OF
the Legislature aud vested Ia her Common Council the
exclusive right to issue licenses for tho sale Of intox.
eating liquors.
Mr. CARTER OF Brooklyn, said he had supposed tho
only thing proposed to DO accomplished the repeal
OF the present Excise law but he was willing TO
assist In dcfraying the expenses OF protecting tho
rights OF the city Of Now York. N he could be shown
thai this would help Kings county In any way. As TO
employing counsel he believed Senator Murphy could
be retained, and IL necessary that gentleman would
doubtless meet McKeon nj the earliest possible time an
arrange the bill to DO presented.
A great deal Of discussion followed and II was ulti-
matey arranged that Mr. McKeon, Senator Murphy and
Mr. Patrick Heady should DO appointed 10 draw up the
bill repeating the obnoxious Excise law.

The Brcoisiyn Liquor Dealers.

meeting Of the Brooklyn liquor dealers was held
yesterday morning In Montague Hail. for the purpose
Of considering the best means Of securing modification
Of the Excise law. Tho object for which they bad
assembled was briefly explained By Mr. Charles Bunce,
who called the meeting TO order. Subsequently Mr. J.
ID. McCloskey was called 20 the chair, when remarks
we're made by several liquor dealers upon tho harsh
provisions Of the law
Mr. oLfyxa CorrgR thought the law was very opprcs.
sivc and tyrannica. and did not know why New YORK
and Brooklyn should DO compelled 10 submit to law
which not enforced through tho entire state Ito
wanted Excise Law for the whole State. IL vas his
wish that such might be made which would satisfy Tie
government and tho liquor dealers we'll.
Mr.. CAMPBELL thought that any special legislation
would be unfortunate and he hoped that tbe New York
committee would not urge the bill recently presented by
Mr. Mckeon.
ON motion tina following gentlemen were appointed q
committee 10 meet with the liquor dealers IN New
York;-Messrs. Bunco. Riley, Cotter. DUEL, DALEY,
