Important Liquor Decision by the Court in General Term. ARREST OF JUDGMENT AND DISCHARGE OF THE DEFENDANT ORDERED—RESULT OF IGNATIUS NAU'S APPEAL FROM THE ACTION OF THE YO- LICE COURT—WAAT JUDGE MILLER says, In the Court in General Term this morning, Chief Justice Bingham, in the case of the Dis- trict of Columbia against Ignatius Nau,delivered the opinion of the court remanding the case to the Police Court, with instructions to arrest judgment and discharge the defendant. ‘The defendant in May of last year was tried in the Police Court for selling liquor in less quantities than a pint withont having obtained a license so to do, in violation of the uct of Congress of August 23, 1871, and amendments of June 20, 1872 He wns nd- judged guilty and a fine of $20 in addition to the license tax of $100, or, in defwult, sixty days in the work house was imposed. ‘The defendant. by Mr. Leon Tobriner, had moved to quash the information on the ground that no offense against the laws of the United States or District was charged; nor one punish- able by law for which the court can impose a peuulty and it was defective. ‘Thix motion the ‘olice Court overruled and proceeded to try the case with the above result, aud a motion in arrest of judgment was mae and overruled. ‘the de- fendunt by writ of error from the Supreme Court of the United States took the case a few wecks since the case was argued b} . Dumont for the District and Mr. Tobriner or the defendant. ‘Yhe chief justice said the information made no reference toa failure to comply with the provisions of the act, and it i vimply alleged that he kept a bppling hoxse, Xe., but no ulle- gation that he faled to pay the tax, and ft 1s] defectiv It appears to be in the form that has been for years, but this is probably the first set ont and it utterly fails to cover the provisions of the net. There Wax no question as to the power of the court to review the case by writ of error and the order would be that the case be remanded to the Pe lice Court, with instructions to arrest Judgment wnd disebarge the defendant.

In addition to this the Commissioners of the Dist e for years urged upon Congress the for 4 general law regulating the liquor traftic, but for some reason they have alxo failed to effect their purpose “I have repeatedly called attention to the de- moralized condition of our municipal ordi nanees, their lack of uniformity in their appli- cation to the various sections of the District and their want of adaptation to the present con- dition of the community. ‘The exigencies of the situation now demand the immediate passage of a bill revising and amending the general ordinances of the Dis- trictand the enactment of a just, reasonable and equitable liquor license law. It is im- portent, both to the dealer as well as to the citizen and the authorities, that there should be a plain and ensily understood law governing this latter subject. " I find from experience that laws of this character are more easily enforced and less frequently violated than the ambigu- ous enactments which are me: te incapable of raction or enforcement.” THE PENDING BILL IN CONGRESS. One bill now pending in Congress, introduced by Senator MeMillan, was submitted to the superintendent of police and Commissioners of the District of Columbia and was by them re- turned corrected so as to meet the existing con- dition of affairs in the District of Columbia. The original proposition to make the license €1,000 was thought to be excessive and reduced to #500.

Five of these bonds have been issued, but four only have been exhibited to him.’ These are each for $1,000 and are held by the Citizens’ National Bank of Washington, T. V. Smith, J. C. Slater and R. D. Evans. The interest on these bonds gives each of them now the face value of $1,480, making in all $5,830 in bonds. There is due in all: State taxes, $490.38; city taxes, $4,888. jadementa, $2,280.45; ground rent, #17: nds, &c., $5,830. Total, $15,239.63.

The report of Commissioner Taylor is a very complete one, and gives exact information on a matter which is of very great interest here. PUBLIC SCHOOL MATTERS.
