10 NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1869.—TRIPLE SHEET. i THE STATE CAPITAL. The Metropolitan Excise Law—The Tesure of Office Law aad the Republicans, ALBANY, Feb, 25, 1869. ‘The present condition.of the Metropolitan Excise Jaw does not promise a very speedy settlement of the movement tending to its repeal or modification, In my despateh last might I gave the general points of the bills which are now occupying the attention ‘of the committee, as illustrated by the language and arguments of the gentlemen who advocate certain modifications, Mr. Bliss made a brief argument in response tins morning, from which it 1s evident that the Board is not unprepared to admit such changes im the law as may be suficient for the present at least, for many of those who are most hostile to it in its present shape. A uniform and moderate price te licens $100 for all liguor sellers, except hotel keepers, whose license shall be regulated according to the number of rooms, and permission to open at four o’ciock in the mormng—is talked of as one nyo to meet the sanction of the committee. The Ger- mans, who represent their countrymen here before the committee, seem disposed to ask for modifica- tions which are not very likely to begranted. For instance, they insist tnat the clause in their bill per- mitiing liquor stores to open on Sundays shall stand. Thus is a Modification Which will not ineet the good will of the Legislature. ‘The feeling against Sunday traific is still too strong. If the Germans ist in this measure they may spoil all the efforts of the friends of modiiication. It will be some time, how- ever, before the bill comes out of the hands of the committee. There is @ good deal more to be said about it yet. ‘The republican temper of the House as it regards Generai Grant was pretiy well shown to-day when the resolution Was brougiit up requesting our representa- tives du Congress to do ali in their power to repeal the law restricting the powers of the President, known asthe ‘ieaure of Office law. Nearly ail the leading republican members voted to lay it on the tabie except Mr. La Bau. It was laid over by a vote of Gfty-four to forty-seven; but there was considerable dodging, many of the members not voting wotil the The Speaker himseif voted agaist the resoiudon.

The ninth anniversary of this society, which claims to be the oldest of the kind in the city, was cele- brated last night at Dodworth Hall, the President, Mr. J. J. Scally, presiding. The house was crowded, seats, standing room and all. There seemed to be a good deal of interest felt in the fortunes of the so- ciety, and that probably accounts for its annual longevity, on which its members pride themselves not a little, Organized the 14th of February, 1860, ithas held a meeting on Saturday night of each week ever since.

On entering at the main door the brilliant in- scription on the rear wall of the stage, “Merry Purim,” in faming gas jets, with the letters PU RIM eniwined in a beautifully designed monogram, also composed of gas, in the midst of the semi-circle, met the eye. The whole stage was changed into a gi- gantic arbor of vines, from which luscious grapes de- pended of a size and beauty ag to almost equal the Biblical description of those which Joshua’s mes- sengers brought trom the land of Canaan. Close to the background there was erected a huge cask, pretty nearly of the circumference of that world- renowned at Heidelberg, bearing the inscription, “1869—Purim Wine,” as if indicating that it was full of the juice of the delicious grapes surrounding it. The cask rested on a five-wheeled vehicle, by the side of which stood two men, tn the ancient costume of the Hebrews in the desert, looking up to Bac- chus astride the cask. This Bacchus was @ queer chap, a kind of your modern inventionist, for being the king of wine and of wine drinkers, he had put or caused to be put through his manager of decorations, Mr. Maxunilian, the cask on a veloci- pede of undoubtediy Ulymptan invention, for it had ve wheeis, indicating the necessity of a fifth wheel to a wagon which nas a load of wine on It, apd that your two wheeled velocipedes are of bo account in that case. What the two men were mtended to mean was dificult to say, Some one of the com- Inittee suggested that it designated the Arion and Liederkranz in utter astonishment at the pagan god Bacchus making {friend with Hebrew Purim and ap- pearing as if about to run away with it with veloci- pede speed. The true meaning, however, remaimed @ profound secret, ‘The arrangements for order and for the comforta- ble entertainment of all the guests were complete and scrupulously adhered to throughout, and great credit is due to the floor and reception committees, the first being Sol.

Eben and the promenade concert by F.

Parim Bail of the Actual Literary and Dra- matic Anssociation. The Actual Literary and Dramatic Association gave a Purim ball last night at Irving Hall, King Carnival deigned to visit tue gathering and to show himself and his followers upon the floor. The happy monarch had made known his intention of betng present to some of his loyal subjects belong- ing to the association, and as a consequence due preparation iad been made to give him a greeting such as should be in every respect equal to the exi- géncies of the occasion. The wails of the hall which yas to be improvised into a courtroom were not decorated with any carnivalistic but the floor was crowded with characters élothed in vartous dresses of the bi test hues and Most varied cate and styles. The avandon usual at herings held under the auspices of the merry monarch prevailed, and the fun was fast and furi- ous. To enumerate all the grotesque characters would be a work of impossibility, so generally were fancy dressea worn. Mephistophéies paid his atten- tion to # Queen of the Night, the Irishman danced with the negress, the clown with the Quakeress, and ail sorts of opposites met tn company in the happy dance. The music was under the charge of Wallace, and to the strains of all the more popular tunes the wing eet chased away the fleeting time. By mid- night the foor was well filled and the fun was fast and furious, nor did the festivities fag until the pro- gramme was extausted and it was time to leave the hall. Messrs, Lindenvora, % Goldsmith and J. 8. Abrabamson had chi of the arrangements, and taey executed their Work tn a very ciever mauner. Bal Masque of the Ceres Frauenverein. ‘The association of ladies desceuded from the race of Esther, founded for benevolent purposes and banded under the titie of the “Ceres Frauenverein,”” gave the seventh anniversary masquerade last even- ing, in commemoration of the birth of the organiza- on and of the feast of Purim, at the Germania As- sembly Rooms, The occasion was one of unalioyed mirth. The committee to whom the arrange- ments were entrusted, composed of M m4 leasrs. M. Zerm, M. Stackelberg, D. Frey, R. Cohn, A. ‘Greenbaum, mL Ullmann, W. Teachner and 8, Hirschmann, dressed as the court guard of Catharine of Russia, were un- ng in their efforts to render the affair interesting and successful in the highest degree. On the floor of the pretty ballroom was one of the happiest crowds eee, clad in every style of tebureoune &nd laughable costume. Buiwhers quibpled with needy: kulfe-grinders about the price of work and the Queen of Night vied with the Grand Duchess in an fort to capuivate Brotuer Jonathan.

The masquerade bal! given last evening at Busch’s Hotel, Hoboken, by the Young Men’s Social Club, was a most syccessful effort. The hall was crowded almost to inconvenience. Thp costumes were not only numerous in their variety, but many of them were original. One of the most Fo a cape was the veritable tunic with ‘ipes and flounces that has made thousands familiar with the character of Humpty Dumpty, During the night a poem was read embracing a few topics of ephemeral interest and weighing in the balance the leading Journals of New York city. The Techie of this production was received with ap- Poe and seemed to take the company by surprise. veral prominent citizens of Hoboken and nearly all the city officials were present. The night was spent most agreeably, the fun being at its height at tue hour when people ordinarily grow heavy and 1n- cline to retirement. A TRIPLE MURDER NEAR MEMPHIS, {From the Memphis Post, Feb, 20.] Grea texcitement has prevailed on the streets this forenoon in consequence of a vague story of three most horrible murders which occurred last night, about twelve miles from this city, at what is known ag the “Old Dickins place,” two miles from Cuba, in this county. The report was brought to the police autho: ities by @ special messenger, despatched from the scene of the atrocious and appailing outrage, ‘The particulars of the affair, as we learn them from the Sheriff and the poiice, are as follows:—As the tamily of Dr. Thomas Dickins were at supper last night several armed unknown men, upon norses, rode up to the house and fired their guns thrcugh the windows, killing Dr. Dickins and Mr. Green Wilson, and a colored servant named Mary, and then dashed off to parts unknown. Dr. Dickins was hit in the arm and head, All the victims died soon after they were shot. The remainder of the family were paralyzed wih 8 deathlike horror and fear at this mysterious and unexpected visitation of death, and did not re- cover their consciousness in time to see or follow the assassins, The news was at eee spread among the neighbors, who spent the night in scouring the country and watching the roads to capture the demons, ‘Their efforts were unsuccessiul, and a courier was sent to secure the assistance of the Sherif and his posse, aud also the police force of the city, who are now investigating the affair. Who the assassins are is not known, but the friends of Dr. Dickins are said to believe that they are a party led or employed by his opponents in a lawsuit, which ts Dow pending in the Chancery Court. Dr. Dickins is the same party who became involved in a shootin, with a brother-in-law named Captain E. Pattison, in the Chancery Court room, several weeks since, SHIPPING NEWS.

That from within of from without there is generated in man occasionally a humor hostile to his health is admitted. BRANDRETIVS' PILLS They mildly but surely ex- pel impurities from the bowels and from the blood, This question of fact is proved by the testimony of millions of men ‘and women. Every one suffering from any sickness, espe- cially pains inthe limbs, low spirite, headache, costiveness, colds, influenza, rheumatism, dizziness, should give them « trial, \1 point with confidence to long duration and their wide- spread reputation as proofs positive of thetr perfect inno- cence and sterling worth, REMEMBER, sickness comes from matters hostile to health. To get wel) ‘these must be removed as quickly as posatble, for every hour they are retained we may become worse and worse. Bran- reth’s Pilla are sure and address themselves to the work ae soon as swallowed, often curing by @single dose, In affeo- tions caused by « too full habit of body and in retention of natural evacuations their use is often lifesaving, All are concerned to know this; for all are subject to sudden severe attacks of disease, where this little knowledge may save life, Secure, then, your health by taking out Impurities from the blood. ie B, BRANDRETH.
