THE LIQUOR QUESTION. Business at the Excise Office—Applica- ° for ‘Effect of the Law pects for Indulging To- ‘Day, do. The tota# number of applications for licenses filed at ‘the office of the Inspector of Excise thus far is four thousand five hundred. The whole number of applica- ‘tions confirmed by the Roard of Excise, as previously ‘Published, ts three thousand. Several hundred of these ‘licenses are yet remaming uncalled for at the office, all Of which will be forfeited unless the fee is paid within -@even days after the receipt of the Inspector's notice. “Tho amount of money accruing to the Treasury from -Mconse fees is beginning to multiply. Up to yesterday ‘afternson Commissioner Manierre, Treasurer, had re- = ebout ono hundred and forty-five thousand dol- APPLICATIONS FOR LICENSES. Superintendent Kennedy and Commissioner Acton held «@ourt again yesterday at the court room of Police Head- -quarters, ia Mulberry street, to pass upon applica. -tions for ticenses under the new liquor law, sub-divine, far-sighted promptly at nine ‘official notification, @eoords before him, like the recording angel of evil- doers in this metropolis. Commissioner Acton, so brisk, ily and jocose that he has got up quite a reputation sub rosa friend of reasonable rumsellers, brushed wits, and loaded an ing’ caarge ty Hl overpowerit jokes and bom mots for the session. atterdance of applicanta from the ieth and Twenty-second precincts, which were for examination yesterday, was quite e, and @ healthy condition of the cheap gin ana -peel business on the west side up town. Appli- the Twenty-seeond precinct wer most , principally of that class who disguise a heavy im rum under a thin cloaking of tamily gro- ‘ories. ‘Tho custom has been among them to make eight or gwino days of a week, and the new law requiring them to up during tho smal! hours of the morning, meets jeir sternest disapprobation. First among the ques- propounded to applicants from this precinet is the ‘etaggerer about the possibility of sustaining life there ‘from midnight Saturday to Monday sunrise without the ald of whiskey, the inference being with the Board that @ny man who can survive thirty-six hours with the con- sumption of that exasperating whiskey cau, npon an Occasion of dire necessity, get along without it, Rum is Bold up thero prnc'pally by grocery keepers, of whom There are about seven hundred im tho Twen- tieth ward alone. By the ruling of the Board grocery keeper can i a license to sell iter 8 drinks over a bar connected with his establishment, and 40 the chief prop to the grocery business in that ward is Femoved. When the grecerymen appear before the Board, ‘they must come, prepared to forsake ethor on the one hand or codfish on tho ether; and the majority of them are ready to bandon codfish, as the least profitable, Acton and Kennedy are éver ready with advice about the pros- pects of the legitimate grocery business looming up in ‘thet quarter of the town; but’ they fail to convince ap- Plicants that it will do to give up the gin and lemon-peel trade just yet, Among the earlier applicants yesterday was a thin, modest young man, who had been doing a stiff grocery business on a few pounds of cheese and a couple of boxes of crackers and herrinz, with a most inordina‘e quantity of strong drink in botttes, and ale in casks. He wag ready to give up his liquor business, but he cravod a license to go on with the groceries. The Commissioner's ruling m this case formed a precedent for the decision of many other similar cases. He was dismissed without a Moense, on the ground that a legitimate groceryman docs not need one from the Excise Board. AGerman, who next appeared from the Twenty- second, appealing for a license, benefited by the exam- ple of his predecessor. He showed the Commissioner that he could not “make mine expense’ by sellin; groceries alone, so he gave it up and got a license to sel rum solely, Agreat variety of applicants came up to the Commis- sioner in the course of the morning. ey came to the railing before the judzment seat with pallid, anxious ‘contenances; and departed with a sickly stare at the Jecose Commissioner and the inexorable policomen, ‘whon their fate was decided adverscly and “nex? was called. Many, whose rcputation with the policemen of the precinct was bad, jeaded ‘that it was “never too late to mend;”” but the Commis- aioner decided in all their cases that it was too late to ‘commence mending. All were warned to shut up shop at midnight Saturday promptly, as the sweeping machine would be arouhd then and gather then tn it they were delinquent. “On Monday applicants from the Nineteenth, Twenty- first and Twenty-ninth precincts will be examined by the ‘THE PROSPECTS FOR INDULGING TO-DAY. Small brown and black bottles neatly fashioned after ‘the pattern of flasks and holding about one pi the coveted “Balm of Gilead,” occupied conspicuous corners fa the breast pockets of many of our most promising yung men yesterday evening. The proscribed trecsure ‘was invariably carried next the heart and guarded with atendor but jealous care. Whenever the fortunate pos- gessor of one of these reservoirs from which the hilarious and life infusing potations are drawn would take a seat fo. an omnibus or car he would place his hand in the most affectionate manner over acertain portion of his Dreast as if to still the beatings of a frightened heart, bat in reality to prevent the precious bottle from being either cracked, broken or stolen. They would look go shy, yet aatisfed withal, that very many young ladies, we are aorry to ray, were led into a mirintorpretation of their complacent smi These highly prized bottles were ‘mot, however, intended for immediate use, but like an army rescrve were held in readiness for sudden emer- ies, avd we say, without the stizhtest hesitation, at these emergencies will probably arise to-day. That there are more ways of killing Old Nick than by ‘whipping him around a stump will bo seen at a glance, ‘Thero never yet was a law that did not have soome flaw or loophole out of which some could manage to escape, ‘and this holds good of the new excise law. Every at whi are sold malt and srirituons juors is ©prhibited from carrying om business ‘on Sunday, with the exception of tho hotels and restaurants. At these places a man who isinclined to ‘thirst after the beverages has but to oat his dinner, and ‘while doing so he can obtain from the obiiging host what- stimulant he may desire, Under these circum- @tances we shall not be surprised t» sec and learn of many little social parties of four, five and six, taking their Sunday meals hereafter at some fashionable res- @aurant instead of dining at home. Certainly some fow thousands of those of, our citizaus who “drift about loose" will be very apt to find themselves seated at some inviting table when more thirsty then hungry. ‘There ‘will probably be a great abundance of cold victuals left on the plates to-day, which will serve for Monday mofn- fing’s hash or for the begg: THE EXCISE LAW IN BROOKLYN. Nincteon applications for licenses were endorsed by the police captains in Brooklyn yestorday. In the Forty. ‘ninth precinct there are one bund and forty-eight places where liquors are sold, out of which number but ‘eleven were licensed last year. Eighty-seven doalers in that precinct have made ‘pplication for license, and only re approved. There are yet fifty-five re- ‘maining who have not made application. At four minutes past twelve v'clock on Tuesday night fast tho attention of a police officer was called to the fact that the liquor store of Michae! Caldwell, corner of Piymouth and Main streets, was open, which being con- to the law compelling all sach places to clone ot twelve o'clock iaely, the officer made Mr. Caldwell his prisoner. {t appears that the shutters were up, the door closed, and the propri tor about to extinguish the ere arrested. The complaint was made by @ dealer, it appears, who had been denied a license to eoil WHE QUBEN’S COUNTY LIQUOR DEALERS AND THE EXCISE LAW. The innkeepers and others interested in the liquor trafic in the town of Queens County, subject to the Ex- cise law, complain bitterly of the fact that while they have to pay as much for licenses as New New York and Kings County dealers, they have none of the benefits of ‘the Metropolitan system, to support which the money thus obtained from them’ is devoted, They also cite the fact that while Westchester County contributes nothing to this fund it bas the full protection of the Motropolitan Police, at their expense in part. It is un- derstood that a dojegation from those interested will lay these facts before the Excise Commissioners, with a hope of dbtaining @ modification of the license fee. FIRDS.

Saffo was given last night at the Brooklyn Academy by Grau's Opera troupe before a rather small and cold audience. Gazzaniga was received with applause on hor rentrée, after an absence of many years ‘rom the City of Churches. The love sick poetess was represented by her in a manner that verified all the praise bestowed on her previously, and left nothing tobe desired. There is a depth of rich fecling in hor voire that foes right to the heurt, and, accompanied by the highest dramatic power and finished style, stamps her as a great artist. Hor intonation is clear and distinct, and has none of that forced, unnatu- ral manner so painfully perseptible in many other prime donne. With them it is too ofton the habit to give recitatives, and even arias, carclossly and without a thought as to the rale they are playing... They think it snificient to display all their powers ant feoting in tho finale of an air, as if the closing bars were the only ours worth attending to. Gagzaniga was entitely free from this, She sing throughout with tho samo ¢aro und finish, and in somo parts, especially towards the close of =the second «and «third acts, she despair of Saifo when she discovers the perfidy of her lover, and the fierce energy with which she dashes down the hymeneal altar, wero delineated by Gazzaniga with wonderful drataatic power. Her long absenco and so- jonrn in Europe seems not to have marred her voice in the least, and she will probably resume her position as a favorite with the public—no one dissenting, Madame Cash Pollini, as Climene, was very snccemful. She has ‘a fine contratto voice, weak only im the middle register. The duet “Di quai maw," which she sang with Guzzaniga, was admuable, and thawod even the icy audience into enthusiastic applause. Musiani made a very acesptablo Phaon, although his voice lacks finish and ease. We liave heard no aria this soagon sung with more passionate fervor and abandon than his “Ahi giusta pena.’ Alcandroe, the high pricat, was ably represented by Antonucci, whose fine buss voice, in the scene where he recognizes Saffo as hie long lost child, told with effect. Of the choruses the best was that of Climene’s damsels, at tho opening of the second act. The orchestra was admirably conducted by Signor Muzjo, and gave every shade of color and expression, such as the habitués of the Academy have been long strangers to in opera. Muzio is a painstaking director, and, consequently, lis orchestra, assists the artists, instead of confusing them, as has been the case before under other conductors. Altogether, the opening night of Gran’s troupe in Brooklyn was very suc- cessful in a musical point of view, and Gazzaniga’s Saffo shall be remembered here as the Norma of Grist or the Meden of Titions is in Europe. MR. G. W. MORGAN'S ANNUAL CONCERT. The annual concert of Mr. G. W. Morgan, at Irving Hail, Jast evening, was not as fully attended asthe merits of the various artists jand the beauty of the programe warranted. Yet there was a fair audience, making up in enthasiasm for the§ lack in numerical strength. ‘The ontertaipment as a whole was really enjoyed by those fortunate enough to be im attendance, Every- thing was fresh and fairly harmonious, If the prepon- dorance of heavy organ music and operatic over the sweeter strains of voice and song bad boen lees percepti- ble the performance might have suited the Anglo-Saxon clement a little better. The sndiden ilinese of Mes, Abbott rondered her appearance impossible; and perhaps ber absence had its effects im producing the ebango remarked. The first portion of the programme was relieved by the song “Sweet be thy ro- pose,” by J. R. Thomas, which received a hearty and deserved encore, and Mereadante’s “Donna Carita,” by Miss Nettie Sterling. This lady's ‘pure contralto voice found @ ready response in the hearts thrilled by its melody. Songi d’ Amore, a morceau de cmeert, writ ton by Robert Goldbeck, was played by its author in = hrmmer and tongs sort of style, which did Lonor to the powers of endurance of the splendid instrument which was used, but was not exactly ealculated to call forth its most exquisite harmontea, He succeeded in perplextng bis listeners, which was probably bis real mtention. Mr. Castle rendered the war song from Costa's oratorio of “Kl? with organ accompaniment, with his accustomed power, The passage “When I lead you onto fight” was especially liked by the gentlemen listeners. second portion of the programme was noticeable Narune, Prevention ann Core of Cronmna. from the fact that Miss Nettie Sterling sang the plaintive ‘and touching song, “The Three Fishers,’ of Hullab, in excellent style. One of the real successes of the evening was this simplo but affecting little piece, showing be yond a doubt that however deeply Italian opera may have become fastened in the public admiration thore is still love and hearty approval remaining for the good old English tongue set to the ripple of good old English song. Mins Sterling, although she haa made bat her second concert appearance, has suoceeded, and evi- dently possesses the genius and the voice to make still further advancement as sho becomes better acqnainted. The duet for organ and piano, in this part of the enter. tainment, by Measra. Colby and Morgan, was ax was tho “Three Ages "Of Love," given by Simpson. Upon the whole, although aot as tended as it should have been, Mr. Morgan may feel pride in thewaccess achieved by his second concert, 7 THEODORE THOMAS’ LAST GRAND CONCERT. gramme is anmounond for Monday night at Irving Hall. ‘Tho ontire orchestral music to Goethe's Ryment by Beethoven.

NEW PUBLICATIONS. The Inhumantities of Quar: o—Bome Extracts from Our Pregent Laws. TO THE KDITOR OF THR HERALD. Naw Your, April 30, 1806. Dangerous as the cholora now appears to be to this community, @ still greater danger threatens, namely, tho barburities of an obselote quarantine. Whon in 1831 the cholera left India for # tour of Europe and America— after having travelled over Asia—there wore proposals as of old in regard to the plague, for denying ontry to all vessels, loging up infected houses and dropping food at the doors, which the inmates were to take up by ma- chinery ; and from the conservators of the public health to the superintendent of the parity school, the prevail- lox spirit was that of wolation and repulsion. In Ku- rope strong guards of troops and late bodies of police were'stationed on the ramparts wo kocp beck the chotera. Tp Uhis country, in addition to the temscripts of old European laws against the plague and health officers of unlimited powers, a committee of Congress was ap- Pointed to devise ways and moans to the same end, But the disease rode over all suck attempted restraints—bid defiance tovall such antiquated heresios. In 1848 the enlightened couatries of Kurope practised some of the wiedom they had gained by the teachings of 1832. Instead of fehting tho ar, active measares of intervention were adopted by means of internal hyeiene, Cleanliness of tho inside of the platter was preven to be the only effectual means of prevention, Bot in Now York the of4 laws continued their fatal course, and had faithful adminisirators. The crowded black holes of Calcutta, afloat, were here then, as now, and aftor their arrival well persons were kept in them to the death, or removed to scarcely leas crowded and fatal quarters, which it i# pow proposed to revive, the law to the contéary notwithatand Among the untortumte persons thus detained in 1848, the epidemic prevailed even in inid-winter, while the people of New York appa- rently consoled themselves that the sacrifice of a thou sand unfortunat them from the terrible fruits of internal fi edness, Karly in the spring of the following year the cholera, true to ita nature, collected its first fruits in the Hive Points, Thence it rapidiy extended to other piaces of like condition. The experionce of 1854 18 a transcript of that of 1882 and 1548, In 1852 the Quarantine Commissioners of the General Board of Health, in England, declared that “their inves- tigations lead them to the’ inevitable conclusion that, whether cholera be contagious or not, quarantine has had no influcnce whatever in check that wherever in the course of that p arantine was put in force axa measure of speedily abandoned as useless and even misehi The Royal College of Physicians also axcortained “that all alempts to stay its progroms by inilitary cordons and quarantines have failed." But the experience of others, who had opportunities greater and even more fata! (han any that had applied to us, awaited « different menos of manifestation, Tho abominations of our quarantine wore not fully mani- feat until 1566, undor ibs appl cation to yellow fever, and their final result in the destruction of the buildings two years later.

C. Schieffendecker, M.D. American News Company. ’ ‘The auther of this pamphlet is the wet! known hiydro- pathic physician. [ts conclusions, ag ts natural, are in favor of the superior eMcacy of tho system of treatment to whiclr Dr. Schieffendecker ha devoted bis time and energies, Whether in cholera it is likely to prove as auc- cessful as it has dono in other diseases has yet to be tested. As a preventive it is admitted on all hands that nothing can be better than the daily use of tho cold bath, How far it can be made available in tho curative Process is a very different question, and one on'gbich, even after the perusal of Dr.{Schioffendecker’s pamphtet, we ate far from satisfied. Hoe certainly brings a large amount of evidence to support his theories; but awit is principally that of practioners like I’ressnitz, who are directly interested in maintaining the superiority of the cold water system, they must be accepted with the usuat qualification. In regard to the specific treatment of cholera when it has reachod its critical stage, a perusal of the different treatises that have been written on the subject will, we think, bring all sensible and impartial peopie to tho con- clusion that the medical profession are nearly, If not en- tirely, in the dark regarding it. Converse with any two doctors about remedies and you will searcely find a point of agreement between them, It is to the credit of the great French physician and chemist, Dr Velpeau, that ho was the first to avow to the world the condition of ig- norance in which the faculty stand in regard to them, Sinco his frank declaration to this effect was made the French physicians have had a further experience of the malady and its treatmont, Have they sncooeded in im. proving their limited «tock of knowledge? Unquestiona bly not. ‘The statistics of the ravages of the disease in Paris show that the mortality was as great as during any former visitation in thoge quarters in which the local predisposing influences were suffered to continue un- checked. Although, for the reasons thus stated, we are not dis. pored to attach much faith to the success of the systern of treatment advocated by Dr. Bchieffendecker, we do not the less recommend his pamphlet to the attention of our readers. It offers the clearest and ablest résmmé that we have ag yet seon of the various theories advanced in connection with the disease, as wall as of the resuits of-| { their application, It will nerve, if it does nothing more, to disabuse the public mind of many of the fallacies, scientific as well as popular, which have hitherto pro- vailed in connection with it, and will do much towards diminishing the tendency which exists in the minds of many to unreasonable alarm.
