The Holahan Excise bill last week lacked
only three Votes Of majority, and. as more
than that number of supporters of the
measure were absent when il was put upon
its third reading. its friends express conf
dence in their power TO pass il when the
motion to reconsider the adverse vote shall
be taken from the table. II will be remcm-
bered that Immediately after the motion to
reconsider had been made two of the ex-
treme temperance men openly charged that
corrupt means had been used to secure the
success of the bill and that some members
who had voted afirmatively had received
money for the service. These accuse
tions appear to have been made without any
Foundation, and rs their authors seemed
to be anxious to back out OF the awkward
dilemma in which they have placed them
selves it is believed that their indiscretion
may gain for tho bill some votes from its
former opponents. The bill simply restores
the old Excise law in cities as it existed
prior to tho well known decision Of the
Court of Appeals. and its passage will re-
lieve New York from its present cmbarrass-
ments while at the same time placing the
liquor business under wholesome restraint.
1t is therefore very desirable that it should
become law.
But with or without the Holahan bill the
Legislature should certainly adopt the
''bell punch" system of taxation on the sale
Of liquors for cities if not for the State at
large. II it is proper to tax the retail
liquor trade at all it is proper to tax it sufli-
GENTLY to secure the citizens ut large from
having to bear the expense Of the pauper-
ism and crime which it doubtless engen-
ders It is absurd to pretend that q fee of
fifty or hundred dollars year from beer
or liquor seller is fair amount to be
paid for license With the Holahan law
in force these fees would realize to the city
about four hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars yearly. Without that law they will
realize only about one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. The register tax would
yield o revenue in New York Of from four
to five million dollars on a moderate csti-
mate. Our Richmond CORRESPONDENT, in o
letter published on Monday, does not take a
very favorable view of tho law as it exists in
Virginia, but tho objections he makes actu-
ally recommend the system in New York.
.'The Virginia law" no says, lis crude and
ill-digested." In tho New York statutes these
objections can be remedied. 1.-The Moffett
register is defective and can BIO easily
evaded." Our ingenious inventors can no
doubt make more perfect and reliable ma
chine. ''The law has the effect Of prevent
ing drinking in barrooms and inducing
people to take liquor to their homes" This
we should regard in New York as a decided
public advantage. One thing seems evil
dent-that in Virginia the saloon keepers
and regular barroom drinkers are united in
opposition to the law, and that is one great
recommendation in its favor. If our Legis-
lature regards the public good and respects
the public will it will certainly allow the
law to be tried in New York.
