NEW YORK.

New YORK, May ls.-The committed
of the Women's Temperance Union
called upon the Excise Commissioners
yesterday to urge the consideration oil
their proposition for a stricter enforce
ment Of the excise laws. The commits
sioners assured the women of their in
tention to carry out the laws as fully as
possible, and explained the difficulties
attendant upon the execution OF their
duties. They are not, for instance, au-
thorized to prosecute in the courts for
civil damages, and in cases where they
have wished to lay the case under the
criminal laws, which make violations Of
the excise law misdemeanors, punished
by one years imprisonment, they find
that great rush of business in the crimi-
nal courts obstruct them. They have
filed with the District Attorney since
March last seventy complaints, with
proofs, against offenders, but only two
indictments have been found, and the
District Attorney has said there were
so many cases of greater importance
that it would be sometime before they
could all be reached. As to the general
aspect of the temperance question, re-
cent statistics develop the fact that in
New York city in 1873 cases of drum
kenness were twenty per cent. less than
in Brooklyn or Boston proportionately,
and intemperance and the crimes re-
sulting from it had decreased thirty per
cent. within the year. The ladies there
upon announced themselves satisfied,
and stated that they would at once lend
their energies toward influencing the
District Attorney to more rapid dis
posal Of the complaints.
The Liquor Dealers Protective Union
met last evening. The committee on
the Excise Board reported that they had
called upon the Excise Commissioners
with their propositions, and that the
latter had treated them very rudely,
calling them outlaws and rebels. Reso-
lutions we're adopted by the association
recommending that dealers make no ap-
plication for licenses until the Excise
Beard are disposed to permit fairer
terms; and also declaring that when
members are interfered with by the Ex-
else Board the association will take upon
itself their defense.

A RLREpING PROVINCE.

The nominal pay of member OF the
Louisiana Legislatures eight dollars per
day, upon which some Of the impecuni-
GUS ones manage to grow suddenly rich
and aristocratic in their manners. Take
the illustrious Pinchback for instance,
who few years ago was polite waiter
in gambling room. He has been in
the Legislature long enough to take a
triu to Europe and on his return deposit
$4,000 in bank, besides which he owns
a fine residence and keeps a fast team.
There are four members who three years
ago could scarcely pay their board, but
have recently purchased the st. Louis ho-
tel for $l25,O0O. Another member be-
longing to the contingent fund commit
tee, has realized $4,000 in two sessions,
and one Mortimer Carr, ex-speaker of the
House, who was three years ago
a poor dry goods clerk, now
estimates his fortune at 100000, all of
which he is supposed to have made at
eight dollars day. These fellows must
practice wonderful economy or else
kind of legerdemain by which money is
earned and reproduced to a limitless ex-
tent. No wonder the people of Louisi-
ana groan out in despair while the plum
derers in high places are coolly stealing
the public funds and enriching them
selves at the expense of the masses.
Louisiana presents picture of gloom.
anarchy and despair that should be a
warning to the whole country and
arouse the people of every State to see
that their liberties, too, are not soon
trampled beneath the heel of despotism.
Those at a great distance, con-
scious Of their own loyalty and
present safety, may look coolly
on, but their time win come. Just as
certain as that time makes all things
equal will law be disregarded in other
States than Louisiana, the rights Of per-
son and property be struck down and the
people or their children who gloat over
the wretchedness of conquered pro-
vince be compelled to drink the same
bitter cup. 1t will come as surelyas the
seed sown in rich soil takes root, unless
the causes are speedily removed. 1t is
like the fatal hydrophobia once taken in
the system, which may Turk there months
and years before the effect is seen. The
delay induces false sense of security.
And so the seeds of corruption, permit
ted to strike their roots into the
vitals Of one State will at last infect the
whole body polite, and the rank weeds
will overshadow public virtue, which is
at best tender plant, and prepare the
way for national despotism which will |
fasten itself like deadly ivy on all things, |
blighting alike our civil and religious
liberty.
