THE MoFFETT PUNCH IN EIRGINIA.-The report
OF the auditor Of public accounts, made to the
General Assembly OF Virginia, Wednesday,
shows that the Moffett register sy stem of liquor
taxation has realized about $500 600 This is less
than was claimed for it when it was before the
two houses, but is more than has been expected
at any time within the past six months and is
Two or three times as much as the old license
plan produced. 1t is anticipated that the audi
Tor will recommend that the loose places in the
Mofett law be frightened, and that better reg
lster De adopted. There is now very little active
opposition to the law
