There will naturally be this session o
heavy shower Of Excise bills, and first
instalment is given in to-days news from
Albany. Mr.. Days bill legislates exclu-
sively for New York city, which does not
seem wise or expedient. There should be q
separate excise system for city and country,
but to make law applicable only to one
city is to move directly toward an aggrava-
ton of that multiplicity Of laws and con-
sequent confusion out Of which oil the re-
cent difficulties have grown. Otherwise the
provisions ofthis bill are good and sufficient
1t has certain provisions that are of peculiar
public interest. One'is that Excise Com
missioners are required to give substantial
bonds another is the provision made for
the regular chemical examination Of liquors
sold and the imposition OF penalty for the
sale of impure articles.

The New York Gold Law.

Immediately after the passage of the Re-
sumption act by Congress in 1875 the New
York Legislature passed law requiring
that all State taxes shall be paid in gold
after January l, 1879. A bill was intro
duced in the new Legislature yesterday by
Mr.. Sessions intended to modify but not to
repeal or to impair the efficiency Of that
law. AS the law stands it would cause
great embarrassment in the rural districts
by the difficulty Of procuring gold for
the payment of taxes. The bill offered
by Mr.. Sessions requires that the taxes
be levied ct gold rates, but that, instead of
actual gold, they may be paid in paper
money, the premium on gold being exacted
if there should be one. The act was origi-
nally passed for buncombe and overlooked
practical exigencies. Actual gold is not
likely to come into general circulation even
after resumption, and for while the banks
will redeem their notes in greenbacks. The
law Of 1876 will be easily executed by the
tax collectors of the State if modified in the
manner proposed by Mr. Sessions.

Between Russia and Turkey the way to
peace is plain enough, as is intimated by
the reply of the Russian Emperor to the
English inquiry on the subject. Turkey
has only to apply to the commander Of the
Russian army for IN armistice with view
to the deliberate consideration of the terms
Of peace, and that commander will name the
strictly military conditions upon which he
will consent to cessation of hostilities AS
the war has been waged by Russia and her
ally against Turkey without any allies as
Roumania and Russia are not the agents Of
any other Powers, but act for themselves,
and as the Sultan is not sustained by any
but his own forces and fights only for his
own Empire, it is clear enough that the peace
should be made between them alone, and
between them alone it would be easy enough
to make it. for Russia is an absolute con-
queror, and the vanquished has no option
but to accept tho terms that are accorded,
because those terms, hard as they may be,
are easier to toas than continu ation of the
war. Even the Sultan can see that it is
better for him to consent to modifca-
tons Of his Empire in Europe
rather than to lose it altogether. He
would be unlike all other sovereigns ever
known if he did not prefer even feeble
hold on the mouth of the Black Sea
to none at all, and the limitation Of
his power in Asia to its extinction.
For these reasons he would, left
to himself, make the peace that he knows is
open to him. But England prevents this.
AS o drowning man is said to catch at a
straw so the Ottoman turns to the hope
held out in his desperate strait that Eng
land will yet come to his assistance and
England plays upon that hope to deter him
from making the peace, that is best and
wisest for him, but is altogether disagree
able to her. That is the morality of her
present position. She tempts the Sultan to
his ruin in the hope that she may be able to
bully her way into the negotiations and in
duce Russia to permit her to provide in the
treaty for her own interests-animated only
by policy that is selfish OF course, but
contemplate in the bargain. II England
were ready or disposed to fight for her in
terests as Russia and Turkey have fought
for theirs her relation to the struoale

The Observance Of New Years.

The Observance OF New Years.
For some reason or another the celebra-
ton of New Years in the city was what is
called quiet, except during the first hours
of its young life, when something like
pandemonium broke loose in the neigh
borhood of old Trinity and around the
graves of the saintcd Knickerbockers. It
certainly was not the fault of the weather,
for day more beautiful rarely comes at
this season of the year in these northern
ATTITUDES. But Notwithstanding all these
favorable conditions the social observance
Of the day was duller than it has been for
many years, and the little that was done in
the way of exchanging the compliments
and congratulations of the season was
limited almost entirely to near and init
mate friends. Everybody did not feel
justified in obtruding his attentions upon
everybody else, and while in a proper or
improper condition Of mind and body break
ing into his neighbours house and making
himself at home. This New Years license,
which prevailed here some years ago,
and which obtains now only in the more
uncivilized parts Of the country, has been
done away with, and it is very proper
that it should be so. It was, while it lasted,
o nuisance and an outrage, but it required
time and repeated rebuffs to put an end
to it. The end has fortunately come, and
it is not likely that this generation will
witness return to practice at once so OBJ
jectionable and reprehensible. But, while
the day was unmarked by noisy demonstra-
tons and unseemly mirth, there was never
theless, good deal of sober enjoyment and
what is called solid comfort. From early
morning the streets and parks were
thronged the city wore its holiday dress,
and in the evening the theatres and other
places of amusement were crowded In

new constitutional amendments. Gov
ernor Robinson thinks all the confus-
ing legislation of the past should be
swept away, and that the city should beper-
mitted to govern itself under clear and in
telligible charter. He maintains that we
should have a government with strong
and responsible executive head, and local
Legislature or Common Council consisting
of two branches, subject to veto by the
Mayor. AS the work of the Municipal Com
mission is certain to be rejected by the peo-
pie we hope it may be defeated in the Leg
islature, SO that further delay may be pre-
vented in recognizing the city government
on q sound basis The necessity for change
is too urgent for unnecessary postponement.
The Governor deals in his usual straight
forward manner with the liquor question.
He thinks there have been too many laws
on the subject, and that oil this conflicting
and confusing patchwork should be swept
away and give place to one clear, judicious,
understandable statute which could leave
no doubt in the mind of any officer, dealer
or citizen as to what the law really is and
how it ought to be enforced.
On the great question Of specie payments
and the restoration Of business the sub
stance of what Governor Robinson has to
say and the decision and emphasis with
which he says it are worthy OF the Chief
Magistrate of the great commercial State Of
the Union. He says the country has already
gone through the suffering incident to prep
aration for specie payments, and that it
would be absurd to refuse the advantage after
having paid the cost. He condemns any TAM
pering with the public credit, and maintains
that as the national obligations are debt
Of honor we are bound in cases Of doubt to
construe the contract against ourselves.
What he means by calling it ''debt of
honor" is that there is no process by which
the national creditors can compel the gov
eminent to pay anything, and that being
the sole judge in its own case its honor
would be furnished by taking advantage Of
bubbles.

Governor Robinson's Appointme mt

The fact that the Governor and the ma
jority of the Senate belong to different politi-
cal parties may cause delay in important
appointments. But there is at least one
Office which it is so important to have filled
soon that the Senate will be inexcusable
for making factious opposition. It
is indispensable that a Superintendent
Of Public Works should enter on his
duties without delay in order that he may
mature the new system of canal manage
ment which it will be his duty to organize
in advance of the opening Of the canals in
the spring. The filling of that Office has
already been delayed year beyond the time
required by the amended constitution, and
the State has lost the benefit expected from
the new method of administration. The
Governor has sent to the Senate the
name Of ex-Attorney General Fairchild for
Superintendent Of Public Works. If the
Senate rejects him it must not be for party
reasons. He has shown himself in his late
Office vigorous and most unsparing enemy
of the Canal Ring, and therefore has at least
one necessary qualification. Another nom
ination made by the Governor yesterday
was that Of Dr. Austin Flint, Jr., for Health
Officer. This is the best piece of
patronage in the gift of the Governor, and
DR.. Flint is man of great professional ac-
complishments. It is noteworthy that
these two most important appointments are
given to very intimate friends of Mr.. Til
den, and they are likely on that account to
be bitter dose for that faction of the demo-
cratic party which triumphed in the last
State Convention.
