TIE EXCISE COMMISSIONERS.

DOUBTS AS TO THE LEGALITY OF THEIR APPOINT
MENT.
In order to ascertain the probable action OF
the newlyappointed Excise Commissioners relative TO
the concert saloons and other vile dens where liquor is
retaed reporter OF TIE TRIBUNE called yesterday on
d. D. T. Marshall one OF the new Commissioners, and
questioned him on the subject. Mr.. Marshall said that
he was not certain yet that his appointment was valid.
II was question whether not the new Charter did
not legsate out OF Office himself and colleagues
before they had entered theidutes ofther positions
The section OF the Charter bearing their case Is as
follows:

In any department made after the passage OF ls ACT
and before said date shall be valid beyond such date.
So long there any doubt about the validity OF
their appointment, Mr.. Marshall said he and his col
leagues we're not willing TO enter upon official duties.
1t would better TO be again nominated and confirmed
II the Mayor and Aldermen still believed them to be the
proper men for the places. Neither he nor the other
Commissioners had sought the positions In consequence
OF this question OF the legality OF their appointment the
Commissioners had not laid out any course OF action.
They had twice informally but had not settled on
ANYTHING that AT all deiplte Should they be reap
pointed, he thought he could answer for the Commits
missonsrR that their action would meet with the com
mendatlOn OF all good citizens. Personally he was
opposed the existence OF the concert saloons They
were productive of nothing but evil and especially
demoralzing young He preferred, however, to
wait until the question OF appointment was settled, be-

4 CARD FROM Mr.. CORCORAN.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: About ten days since person called on
me- at my residence, where confined 10 my room
by sickness and stated that he called your request
TO converse with me relative the affairs of the District
Of Columbia.
told the gentleman that, whatever my views might
be- would not under any circumstances, be brought
into newspaper controversy about public matters, but
would rather court the repose and quiet so much
needed.
With the usual persistence Of reporter he asked
one or two questions which positively and explicitly
fused TO answer, and repeated determination not TO
be drawn into newspaper controversy that is, at all
times, disasteful to me and you may judge OF my
surprise, seeing in THE TRIBUNE OF the 10Th nearly
two columns, with twenty-one long interrOgatories
with the answers detailing questions never asked
and answers that never gave and which could not
possibly have been given III the three or four minutes
the interview lasted.
prOfessedy acting under your authority and at your
request, deem 1t due TO you well as to myself To
inform You of the facts and have no doubt that you will
take pleasure IN promptly correcting the misrepfesenta
TONS and fn rebuklhg the invasion OF gentlemans
quiet and privacy, by publishing this letter Very re-
Washington, April 81, 1873.
I'VE take pleasure IN publishing this letter. and in
expressing our thanks to Mr.. COrcoran for the
promptness and courtesy with which he has enabled
us to apply the proper corrective to evil which
we may say is rarely met with in these columns
than anywhere else. The communication referred
to was not prepared by order Of THE TRIBUNE, but
was sent by an occasional correspondent, Mr. Ed.
mund NJ. Smith, who stated that ii contained cor
rect report of his conversation with Dir. Corcoran
and that Mr.. Corcoran had gwen his consent to its
publication. We had no reason to doubt these state
ments and there nothing in the substance of
the letter which made them improbable. We shall
take to avoid any similar occurrence in future
from the same source. Acontrbutor will invariably
forfeit any relation he may have TO this paper upon
presenting it a distorted unfathful account of an
interview. or by untruly alleging that the person
visited has authorized the report. These personal
statements are often interesting and valuable but
they are worse than worthless unless faithfully re-
ported. and outrage upon personal nights unless
voluntarily given.--Edl

The National Board of Fire Underwriters began
their seventh annual convention yesterday at Under
writer's Hall, No. 156 Broadway.
yahe convention was very largely Iattended, all
Vguarters of the Union being represented. After
extending the courtesy of the floor to all general and

Treasurer, the Board was addressed by the
Chairman, Henry A. Oakley, the general
work Of the insurance companies dur
ing the year, the moral to be drawn
from the Boston fire. the Building laws, and
many other topics. On the subject of Taxation his
conclusion that the receipts of insurance COM
panies on local premiums should be taxed instead OF
the gross receipts, aud that change in the policy OF
taxation would be beneficial. In rfeerring to the
Building laws, he claimed that the act recently
framed by the New-York Board of Underwriters and
introduced into the Legislature was the model OF
future legislation. The points of his address

IN MEMORIAM.

Respectfully dedicated to the holders o.
Confederate treasury notes.
This note Is a type of nothing on earth
And. naught in the waters below It;
AS true pledge Of the nations that's
| O keep it, dear friend, and preserve it.
And show it to those who will lend you
TO the tale that this paper can tell,
Of liberty born, the patriots bright
OF the storm-cradled nation that fell.
Too poor to possess the rare precious ores
Too much of stranger to borrow,
We issue to-day our promise to pay,
And hope to redeem on the morrow.
The days swiftly roll, and weeks become
years, .,,
But our Golfers remain empty still;
And coin is 80 rare that an uproar ls
made
If q dollar should drop in the till. ,
The faith that was in us burned brightly
Though our poverty all had discerned
And this little check the symbol of pay
That the poor weary soldier had earned
We knew it had hardly value in gold,
Yet as gold our soldier received it;
It looked in our eyes as promise to pay,
And each patriot soldier believed it.
Our boys thought little of price or of pay,
Or of bills that were then overdue;
We knew if it brought our rations to-
day,
Twas the best our poor country could
do.
Keep it, for ir tells a tale that is past,
From the birth of its dream to the last
Modest, and born of the Angel Of Hope
Like the hope of success it has passed.
