The Attorney Generals Opinion
OF tine Tax ON PrIviHeges-Hnter-
esting 20 Vendors OF Vimous and
SPirfamOus LiquOr~-
JACKSON, Miss, July 2Ith, 1871.


JACKSON, Miss, July 2Ith, 1871.
Col. ii. MUsGRovE,
AUDITOR OF PUBLIC Accounts:
SIR:-Your letter of the 22d inst, has
been received, and i'm reply, l have the
honor TO state that the Act of July 9th, $50,
so far as it relates to the tax imposed upon
vendors of vinous, spirituous, and malt
liquors, has not been repealed by the Act Of
May 18th, 1871. Section nine ofthe Revised
Code provides that all the Acts of the last
session of the Legislature, which Assem- bled
on the 18th day of January. 1870, shall con-
time In force for the advancement of JUS
tiee, and the operation of the state Govern
ment in all its departments, until the Code
shall become operative; and section eight
of the Code provides that the Revised Code
shall take effect from and after the lst day
of October, 1871, and shall be received in
law as the Statutory Laws of Mississippi of
a general nature, and shall supersede and
repeal all fore existing statutes of a general
nature, the subjects of which are therein
revised and consolidated.
Section nineteen of the Revenue Law,
approved May 18th, 1871, enumerated Ger
tain privileges, and fixed the tax which
shoull be paid by them. As to the enumer-
ated privileges, think it is clearly "A repeal
of all previous laws. The Act of May 18th
1871, makes no provision in reference TO the
vendors of liquors of any kind; but chap
ter fOrty-siX of the Revised Code does make
provision on this subject, and specifies the
mode of obtaining license, and fixes the
price to be paid for this privilege. This
chapter of the Revised Code does not take
effect until the LIST day of October 1871.
When it does take effect, il will supersede
the Act of 1870, and all other statutes on
the subject of selling liquors. But until it |
does take effect, the Act of July 9Th, 1870, |
will continue in force, and the tax therein /
levied should be collected. The whole /
Code is 10 be construed together, and so |
it, it is very clear that it was not /
The intention of the Legislature to repeal |
he existing law on the subject of selling
iqaors, and the tax provided by the Act OF
Dune, 1870, until the lst day OF October.

jode will take effect and supersede all other
avs on the subject.

THE STORY OF THE GIRLS ADOPTION,

the name of the mother, and, more convinc-
ing still, the name of the mother-in-law
There was a tall scene between the two
men. But Colonel S. was man of the world,
and he saw the matter In a rational light.
He would. go to New York where Mrs. 5.
was, and take his deserted wife to his manly
breast, and the spOuse-like feeling he had
contracted for Emma should be merged in
fatherly one. This new view of the predi-
cament didn't suit Mr.. B. He'd much
rather the Colonel should marry his own
daughter than come in between his little
matrimonial arrangements. However there
was but one course. The Colonel was Mrs.
SIS husband, and he was Emma's father,
and here was Emma, in a lavender lawn robe
de chambre, in her room weeping at the
supposed difficulty between her father and
lover. To make this little shorter then
the regular three volumes of a circulating
library love tale. the daughter was fully en-
lightened, and assured that however " ill
ing and DESTROYS she might be, the laws of
her country expressly forbid marrying fa-
theirs, even if they had resided all their life
times apart and abroad.

A QUEER STORY.
What Came on IA Departure by "a
Husband and Father.
st. Louis Republican New York Let

Here in New York. way back when the
gold fever started in California, there lived
"A young mechanic who. getting married in
a hurried sort of way, found himself at the
age of nineteen the fathe- of a baby and
proprietor of quite a family of his w;fe's
relations. Not liking the situation he threw
up his trade and rushed to the gold fields
in one of the countless vessels that daily
sailed for the EdoradO. Arrived there he
thought of his wife, and felt bad. of his bab,-
and felt Bladder, of his mother-in-law, and
felt baddest. So he wisely concluded TO lay
low and see how the old thing worked the
old thing being his mother-in law. Years
and years past by, the truant became
merchant, and finally banker on the
Pacific slope-nO doubt forgot all about the
wife and baby, at all events he stayed there
and made no sign. The young wife thought
of the Chagres fever and the Panama ague.
and put a lock of his hair among the obit-
uary pages of the family Bible. She was
poor, and when a well-to-do neighbor Of
fered to adopt little Emma. she allowed the
plan to be carried out, and Emma 5. became
Emma B. She was brought up to believe
Mrs. ). distant relation, and finally the
family with whom she lived moved to the
city. and very little intercourse passed be-
tween the actual mother and daughter. Mrs.
). never married again, but opened a small
millinery shop and prOspered in her native
town. Emma became an accomplished and
pretty girl. Her adopted mother died. and,
strange TO say, the heart of the widower,
Mr.. b.. leaned very much towards the still
nice looking Mrs. :. Unknown to any one
he was this summer prosecuting his court
ship in that direction. He sent Emma, with

the season, under the chaperOnage of a

the same as the widows but it was as COM

that, but he went on and talked with his

course sought to know something of Colonel

was born and where he lived, and so Mr.. b.

the recreant carpenter of the town of III.

An American Schooner Threatened
by q British GunbOat.

New YORK, October 1S,-A Herald
despatch from Gloucester, Massachusetts,,
states that there was great excitement
there few days since, when the schooner
L. A. Horton was taken from the harbor
Of GuysberO, Nova Scotia, by party OF
men, who are believed to have been sent

vessel Is now due at that port, 1t is now
said that n British gunboat has been sent
in search OF the schooner, and arrived of
Cape Ann yesterday, with the intention
of recapturing and taking her back to
Nova Scotia. A telegram to the Charles
ton Navy Yard, resulted in the sending OF
a gunboat to Gloucester, which, after tax.
ing several United States officials and
the owners of the schooner on board,
started last evening on cruise to prevent
the schooner from being molested by the
British vessel in American waters. Sew.
eral officials and citizens OF Gloucester
have gone to Boston TO interview Presi.
dent Grant upon the subject. This affair
is believed to be one OF great gravity.

telegraphed for the revenue cutter Hugh
McCulloCh, of Portland, which will reach
this port to day. The Mahoning has al

average Of September is sustained In a
