More opinions ON the subject Of Its In.
PRODUCTION Here.
The feeling over the proposed introduction OF
The Moffett register in our saloons here has in
creased Of late rather than diminished. This
opposition has augmented considerably OF late,
and now almost every saloon keeper in the city
q loud in his expressions Of opinion on the sub
ject. Yesterday reporter visited q number of
saloon-keepers for the purpose Of learning their
views on the subject, and the results were similar
TO those obtained before.
The first gentleman called upon was
JAMES NuaENT,
~ No. 157 Common street.
Reporter-Mr. Nugent, you are acquainted
with this proposed Moffett register. through the
public prints, and called to get your opinion of
Che measure to make 1t q means of paying the
State debt.
Mr.. NJ can only say. sir, that think 1t q
gross, very gross outrage on the people here, and
especially on those who keep saloons. cannot
zee why such heavy tax should be laid upon us,
tax that is heavier than is put upon any other
goods: nor can see why they should single out
our trade when others equally deserve to be
taxed.
Rep. Then you oppose the proposition in toto'
Mr. NJ do. You must understand that it
may perhaps
WORK WELL IN VIRGINIA,
but IL will not here. There they are not under
half the expense we are. They do not set out the
costly lunches we do; they do not have as much
labor to pay for, and the cost OF running the sa'
loons IL not nearly as great % that We have to
efand. In my opinion there isn't city in the
United States where such costly liquor is sold 40
- New Orleans. Saloon keepers here have to
sksep the beet, for our people are judges. and
WILL NOT DRINK

SY ~ S&3h to allow NJ to pay such IN exh0rbi-

the Rev. o. Sinclair Bird, secretary Of the sani-
tary committee of Fernsndins, Fla, inclosing a
report of the special committee Of the Board OF
Health of Fernsndina to Mayor Riddel of that

The report denies all the charges and imputa-
tions made by Fernandina correspondent Of the
German Gazette of this city regarding the mis-
management of the Fernandins relief fund.
which correspondent they say they have disoov'
own board Of health, who has, in fact, soknow-
lodged himself to be the author of the article
contained in the German Gazette.
The letter Of the secretary Of the sanitary COM
mission to Mayor Pilsbury asks for further aid.
Our mayor, however, says that he does not feel
authorized to make any further appeals to the

Parish Elections for representatives.
Governor Nichols yesterday issued pardon
to DR.. Moses, who had an encounter some time
since with DR.. Walker, who was sentenced to the
Parish Prison for six months, and whose SEN
tenoe expired to-day.
The Governor yesterday was considering the
subject of issuing proclamations
CALLING SPECIAL ELECTIONS
in three parishes where there are vacancies,
caused by death, in the House Of Representa-
tives, and will do so as soon as some conclusion
can be arrived OF as to the proper construction to
be placed upon portions of act 49, approved
April II, 1877, and act l01, approved April 30,
1877, the former being the election and the latter
the registration act.
In some respects these acts do not seem to
"consist," but the inconsistency being only
technical, a construction will soon be given,
when the writs Of election will be issued in due
form.
Under the supervision OF 5ergeant-at-Arms Ed
Flood the carpenters began yesterday the work
of repairs in the hall of the

OF seats than in front, and the desks, which will

new mating, when, with the thorough cleaning
the walls have received, the House, when COM
pleted, will be very neatly and lastly arranged.
The walls in the Senate Chamber are being
touched up with brush, and the repairs to that
hall will also make it much more comfortable

sioners present
The board taking into consideration that the
police did not receive their salary promptly were
more lenient with the errng ones than usual.
Patrolmap John Mitchell, for falling to appear
| for trial before the board, was dismissed the
| force.
| Patrolman George Leininger, Second Precinct,
| yielded up three days pay for having been
caught sitting down on his beat asleep.
| Pstrolman l.. j. Boudousque, Of the Sub
| Seventh a4tatiop, was severely rsprimanded
for absenting himself from his beat without
| leave.
Patrolman r. M. Bowers, of the Fub-seventh
Station, appeared before the board for the third
time on q charge of reporting for duty while
under the influence of liquor. The accused
pleaded hard for mercy, but it being his third
offense the board gave him an opportunity to get
position where he could get tight with i'm
pupity.
supernumerary W. F. Cott sat down on his
oeat and, while listening to the monotonous
sound OF falling rain, fell asleep. His corporal
caught him. and Oott gave two days Of his pay.
Patroman G. 0hgoy was fined three days pay
for sitting down on his beat. Ohgoy tried to
bluff the board and Sergeant DouvilIier, but he
was caught in his own trap, as the members of
the board were too sharp for him.
Patrolmsn Jos. Doody, First Precinct, thought
he would take nap which he did, and was dis
covered. 1t being proved TO the satisfaction OF
the board that he was an efficient officer, they
we're lenient with him and fined him only three
days pay.
The secretary OF the board read q communities
tion from Mr.. P. Foscs, in which he stated that
he had preferred charges against one John Bias
semi, station clerk, and Officer Ruth charging
them with false imprisonment, and that the
charges had been dismissed before he had time
to appear to prosecute, and he asked that the
case be called up again. The board presumed
that there was nothing in the charge and tabled
the communication.
Ohief Boylan then took the floor and stated
that two police officers, Moran aud Michasl-
son, had been sentenced to one month in the
Parish Prison by Judge Whitaker on the charge
Of assault with q dangerous weapon.
1.-The chief went on to say that the board had
tried the two officers for the same offense and
had dismissed the case; he therefore thought It
proper that the board should take some action in
the premises.
motion was then made and adopted that the
board petition the Governor to pardon the
accused.
The petition will be drawn up Immediately and
forwarded to his Excellency the Governor.
