The Inebriate Law Constitutional.

The Supreme Court. Justices Gilfillan
and Cornell agreeing and Berry dissent
ing, filed an important opinion on the 9th.
The opinion declares constitutional the
law of the Legislature of 1873, providing
for special tax on liquor dealers for the
creation of fund for the erection and
maintenance of an inebriate asylum.
1t will be remembered that the liquor
dealers in this city, upon advice of attor.
neys, very generally refused to pay this
tax, and by general consent, test case
was made and taken before the common
pleas court, the late Judge Sprigg Hall
presiding, who decided the law unconsti-
tutional, and this decision was very gen.
orally accepted as settling the egal
points of the question, but now comes
the supreme court and DESTROYS these
hopes.
rendered, was brought on the 10th day
Of April, 1875, before the city justice Of
Rochester, Col. James George, on the
complaint of A. Bierman comfy auditor,
charging Edward Cassiday with selling
liquor to one Edward Fitz Patrick,
without license containing the
clause leyying the special tax of $40 pro-
vided by the law in question. On the
trial Cassiday admitted selling the liquor
as charged, but claimed he did so under
a lawful license, the special license re.
quired by the law not being binding on
the ground of its unconstitutionalitv. for
which reason his counsel moved his dis
charge. This motion was denied bv tn.
city justice, who thereupon entered fine
OF s25 and costs against defendant. De.
PENDANTS counsel then fled notice of an
peal, thus bringing the case before the
Supreme Court.
The opinion III full would occupy near
~ three columns IN length, and we arc
therefore only able to give the syllabus
to-day: Judge Berry, who dissents
from the remainder of the court, has not
yet filed his reasons therefor, but pro-
poses to do so. The following is the
syllabus.

Adventures of a Family.

In 1866 John Rodman, poor man, of
Portland, Maine, moved to Harlem, and
shortly afterwards went to South Amer
lea. In 1870 his family, not hearing
from him, returned to Portland. A SOD
who went to sea, was not he;rd from.
The wife became a poor broken down
seamstress. A short time ago she was
wrapping up dress for q customer in
copy of the New York Herald, and an
advertisement caught her eye. 1t was
addressed TO her and asked her to send her
address to lawyers in New York. By
their sdvice she went to New Orleans.
Being insulted in the streets of that citv
she was defended by young man who
proved to be her son. who had lust
returned from India. In few davs the
husband arrived also. He had become a
wealthy man, and thought his family
lost. o..

IL WILL therefore, be perceived, that no
difference exists in these two accounts
other than that which grows out of the
manner OF their preparation.
Frugality in administration is amono
the foremost and most important points
OF a sound financial policy. Faithful COL
lection of the revenue and reduction of
expenditures to the lowest point demand
ed by the necessities of government, con-
st!tute the first duty of those entrusted
with making and administering the law.
The obligation to adhere strictly to this
duty has peculiar force while the public
Indebtedness is large and the industries
OF the country are suffering from finan.
clal depression. Rigid economy at such
time must lead to two important re-
suits: first, advancement of the credit of
the government throughout the financial
world. and hence ability to refund the
debt at lower rate of interest second.
ana by no means least in Importance.
greater Willingness on the part of the
people to bear the burden of taxation.
when they see that their government,
like themselves, is reducing expenditures
to the lowest practicable point.
and applying the revenue re.
celved from them to its necessary and le.
gitimate purposes. The general depres-
sion of business which followed the era Of
imitation and extravaganza, through
which we have just passed, has made it
necessary that individuals. associations,
and corporations should reduce their ex.
penditures to the minimum; and, having
done so, the taxpayers have right to
demand that the Government shall do
likewise. While the interest on the pub
lie debt, and all other national obliga-
tons, must be promptly met, there are
many points at which it is believed that
considerable reduction of appropriations
can properly be made; and the Secretary
invites critical examination of all the es-
Inmates submitted to Congress. Increase
Of public expenditures in time of great
prosperity and extravaganza is accom-
plished by an easy process; but CORES
ponding reduction when the reverse
comes can be brought about only by the
closest vigilance and most determined re-
slstance to every appeal for appropri-
atoms not required by the existing ne
cessities of Government.
No appropriation of money should be
made without reference to the probable
amount of revenue to accrue within the
year in access of existing obligations and
liza Titles.

SER VANT-GALISM COLORED,
[Epicure in Cincinnati Commercial

An article in the Commercial in regard
to the filthy habits of the Chinese ser.
wants, reminds me If an incident that oc-
Cured on the south, side of Eighth street,
east Of Linn, in this city. A wagon was
passing along the street loaded with
oysters, and a colored servant girl was
sent out to have bowl filled with those
popular mollusks. and as soon as the
shells were removed she started back to
the house. On her return, however, she
stopped long enough in the passage-w y
between the adjoining houses to tale
each oyster separately and draw t
through her moQth so as to abstract all
the fresh liquor from the edible. Hav-
ing done this, the oyster was then deposit
ed in its proper place in the bowl, and
subsequently served out to the family.
The girl was, no doubt, denied the sub.
stance and was determined to have the
shadow of the thing. AS this event oc.
CURED during the war, the parties rcsid.
in the aforesaid neighborhood at the
president time need not order their
emertics by the cart load.

1t is expected that for this fiscal year
the surplus revenues of the Government
will amount to 1874, $4,000. The esti.
mated amount to be provided for the
sinking fund is 1874, O63, 377.4O. There is

the estimates of the same for the remain
ing three-quarters, based upon appropri-
atoms already made, and also on the as.
sumption that Congress will not increase
the expenditures by deficiency or other
appropriations. it will be seen that in the
judgment Of the Department, the reve.
nues will reach the sum of 1921 ,466, Ids. Id.
and that the ordinary expenditures will
amount to $268,447,543.76. This exhibit
gives surplus revenue of S29,OO8, sol .38.
Under existing laws it is estimated that
$32,295,692. 80 will be required to be pro.
vided for the sinking fund this year. If
Tie statement, as here submitted, shall
prove to be apr oximately correct, the
revenues will fall short by the amount of
