THE EXCISE RAID. What the Officials, Its Victims and the ‘Public Think Of It. ITS POLITICAL EFFECT. Tammany Likely to Suffer From Police Zeal. POLICE COMMISSIONERS STARTLED. They Did Not Know Their Subordinates Intended to Enforce the Law. After twenty-four hours of mingled panic and indig- Bation the hquor dealers have recovered their equilib- rium, aod, like Don Cartos, they have determined to reserve the fuwiure for themselves, Never be- lore since the formation of the Metropolitan Police District, over twonty years ago, has any board of po- lice commissioners had to encounter such a storm of criticism and contempt as has been poured since Sunday at noon upon the heads of Messrs, Smith, Er- hardt, Wheeler and Nichols. To say that the people who are engaged in the sale of beer, whiskey, brandy and other beverages are excited and disturbed about the eccentrically-managed raid of Sunday ts to copvey but a faint idea of the feclng manifested by the I:quor- deahng fraternity. The arrest of 600 liquor dealersand their detention in the station houses during the afternoon subsequently caused so much confusion In the families of these persons that in many cases there was but little business dono in the various liquor stores yesterday, the‘morning hour, like that in Congress, being devoted to discussion of the previous day's performances. In the districts east of the Bowery and in its vicinity the German, Sclavonian and Scandinavian peoples largely abound, and these peoples being devoted to their beer, feel very earnestly about the raid and do not hesitate to talk “bottom facts’? Fully. sixty per cent of the persons arrested belonged either to the Teutonic or Sclavonic race, In the matter of eertain outrages committed by the police on females who happened to be in the saloons when arrests were made bitter comments were heard onall sides, and it 18 moro than probable that tho officers who acted roughly will have to answer for it hereafter, ‘Was IT POLITICS OR LAW? All kinds of suggestions bave been made and all sorts of reasons bave been given as to the causo of the sodden raid. All tho anti-Tammany men who have recovered from their hoarseness resulting from expressed indignation on Sundiy declare that the raid was made by direction of Mr. John Kelly, Then there are various other views beside the fore- going, Some of the liquor dealers, one notublo in- stance being that of a prominent hotel keeper on Broadway, declared that it was partly owing to the combined influence im the Board of West Point drill and Puritan fanaticism, ‘And,’? said he, “when you got West Point and Puritanism combined ean you have anything worse? ‘The gencral feeling throughout the city is decidedly Bgainst these Sunday raids and in favor of having the Police Commissioners to summon all offenders against the Excise law before them. If guilty then, the feeling ig to fine them, but not to have any more of these sudden and summary police raids, so arbitrary in their nature and so useless in their effects. THE FEELING AMONG OFFICIALS, ‘It was not unnatural to suppose that the action of the police on Sunday would be reflected in various ‘ways at the Central Office yesterday. The liquor dealers of New York are a largo and powertul body. They can do much in political matters, and many of | them have a considerable number of henchmen, some belonging to the higher, some to the lower class of politicians Here was a grand opportunity to show how they would stand by their frievds of the bottle and glass! 1t myst be said that whatever obligations the politicians may be under to the latter gentle- men, they showed themselves anxious to-acquit them yesterday. Not merely had a protest to be en- tered against the furious raid made upon their friends Dut somo kind of pledge had to be obtained for its non-recurrence, So the Central Office was thronged yesterday with the political friends of the loud, dia- mond-bepinned proprietor of the fashionable (?) bar, room, and of tho more modest but not less ambitious master of the second rate corner gin mill, If one may believe the angry protestations of these chevaliers de witique it will go exceedingly hard with Tammany all in the next election, It was ot course presumed that no one woutd be able to give a better account of the reasons for Sunday's display of excessive zeal than the Police Commissioners themselves, 60 a HERALD reporter waited upon General Smith in order to get that urbane gentleman's state- ment on the point, GBNKRAL SMITH’S VIEWS. “Was there,” said the Hkratp man to General Smith, ‘‘any special condition ot things in New York immediately before last Sunday to cail tor the unugually Tigorous enforcement of the atin? Liquor law by order of the Commissioners of Police?” *The Commissioners gave no special orders for last Sunday avy more than for any other Sunday.’’ “But I presume the Commissioners were aware thot some very unusual vigilance was going to be exercised by the force on that day?” “Not at all. The first news which I myself had of tho very large number of arrests made yesterday was in this morning's papers.” “Then to what do you attribute this very marked in- crease of action on the part of the police?” “Ii I have to speak for myself as President of the Boarg of Police Commissioners I should say that itis possioly due to the fact that the police captains aro potting aware o! the fact that I will not tolerate tho partial enforcement of any law which they have the duty of seeing obeyed, It might, too, have become slear that if the captains could not be brought to do their duty possibly those in command over them would have to account for their shortcomings, too. The Police Commissioners have taken no specia! action in this matter since January last; but charges have been mado within the last fortnight against some captains in ‘his matter, and it may have seemed good to those im- mediately over them to see that they performed their whole duty. Upon the details of the matter, | think Wai — man to give you information is Superintendent ur opinion, General Smithy with roj to UOT Jaw ag Mt stands; do you think ta 3 question I, as a public functiopary, have nothing to do. All I know ia that there law prohibiting the sale of liquor in New York on Sunday; that the law bas to bo miorced; that it is the duty of the police captains and their subordinates to enforce it; that I am here to sce them do their duty, and if the Legisiature at Albany bold the ple of New York they should not have water on Sunday my duty would be to seo that water they did not get, aud water they should not have. M: Convictions might be mortally opposed to any sucl Jegislation, but an act of the Legislature leaves me no discretion. f COMMISSIONERS NICHOLS AND WHEELER, These milemen corroborated the statement of the recent of the Board with regard to their ignorance of any unusual display of zeal contemplated by the ‘police on Sunday, ‘They had not, they said, any more discretion in the premises than the President, Tney thought that con- hdering.tbe jaw bad been so loosely entorced for so Jong a period, it was but fair that the liquor dealers in Precinct should have been previously notified of of the police, that much ip would thereby have were very decided in their con- Pear the law as it connie sng any amount &@ penalty upon every citizen of New York.

If, after the warning they received. they chose to disobey the law, that was their fault, a1 the great numbeg of arrests is due to no other cause. ”” “it course you have an opinion touching the law it- sell?” “Yes; 1 cannot say that I approve it as it stands. It bears very hardly upon a large and innocent class of citizens, and ought, I think, to be modified, but wit that qvestion the police force, as such, and those r sponsible for their action, have nothing to do. question is oue solely for the Legislature at Albany.” AT THE CITY HALL the chief topic of conversation yesterday was the raid, and many fore:ble adjectives were employed in characterizing the action of the police authorities, MAYOR WICKHAM stated that he knew: nothing at all about the circum- stances, except such details as he had read in the morning papers on his return from Long Island, where he went on Thursday. When informed that many per- sons, including Tammany addherents, felt that it would injure the party, he stated that he did not_see how it could have that effect. The Police Board was non-partisan, When asked if he had consulted with them on the subject he answered in the negative, “But, Mr, Wickham,” said the reporter, ‘these Com- missioners are appointees of yours, and it is claimed that rarely isa movement of this kind taken without conference with the Mayor.” “| guppose you know,” he answered, ‘that the Mayor has no control over the heads of departments, I wish he had. Certainly I knew nothing of the raid antil I read of it in the papers.” President Lewis (Tammany) said:—‘“The arrest of these people is a great hardship. Many of them are respectable persons. I am opposed to the law, which isa hard one, You cannot charge these wholesale ar- rests upon the democrats, The Commissioners found an obnoxious Iaw passed by'a repablican Legislature, and they simply enforced it, as they are bound to do by their oaths of office.” 4 ALDERMAN BRYAN RIELLY (AXTI-TAMMANY) considered the arrest of the offenders an outrage of the worst description, They were paying license in a respectable business, and it Was maniiestly unjust for a man In citizen’s clothes to sneak in and arrest the pro- prietors while tottng the bar ag > go. “Tammany Hall is responsible for all of it They appointed all the Commissioners of Police anda Exciso; and i say it isa great outrage. The dealers will combine and pro- tect themselves aguiust the raids of these officials, Tammany Hall is generally de- nounced, and men of tbat organization in we business _ declare them blamable. There is but one Commissioner (Mr, Nichols) who yielded againat his will to these arrests, 1 understand that on Saturday Jast tho Excise Commissioners notified the Police Commissioners that they were powerless to enforce the law and asked them to do so.” ALDERMAN PURROY (TAMMANY). “The arrest of these parties was a flagrant outrage. I think it was done to show the liquor dealers that they had been wo open in their violation of the law; but it won’t last, and 1 am satisfied nothing permauent will ‘be done. A REPUBLICAN ALDERMAN, who would not permit his name to be used, attributed the raids to “ar, on the part of the police, of diset. pline by the Pohce Commissionors it they tatled to e force the law. “They ure afraid,” he sad, *‘of Eh hardt, chairman of the Committee on Ruies and Dis- cipline, and hence they have made these descents to place themselves right.” ALDERMAN JOHN RIBLLY (TAMMANY) denounced the arrests as among the greatest outrages ever perpetrated upon a free people. “There are thou- sands of mechanics and laborers,’’ he said, ‘who never have any time except on Sunday to take any recrea- tion. A great many laws are made that are never carried out in spirit and this odious Excise law is one ofthem. I think the better class of the people are satistled to leave the enforcement or non-enforcement.of | the law entirely in the hands of the Excise Commis. sion, and think the Police Commission should not in- terfere, Iwas at the Excise Board this morning, ana they thinkit was as great an outrage ag any of us do, If the matter of the enforcement ot the bats ve left to a popular vote of the people four-lifths of them would | be against it, Tammany Hall is universaliy against it, and the aay representative they have in the Police Board (Nichols) opposed the raids in the interest of this odious Exeise law.”? Ex-Alderman Shandley (Tammany) thought that the Sunday raids would not help the democratic arty, and would especially damage Tammany Hail, fe ‘was outrageous to enforce a law almost obsolete. ‘There is a democratic Mayor, who appointed the Excise and Police Commissioners, and the people will hold him ‘and his party to astrict accountability for these ar- rests, Alderman Hess eopamicen) denounced the raids as outrageous, The democrats, he said, will have to bear the odium, A democratic Mayor is always consulted on movements of this nature, and the majority in/the Excise and Police Boards are appointees of the Mayor and the demceratic party. ir.

After the rush on Sunday business was comparatively dull, but the police clerks bad their hands full, and did not leave work for some time alter the regular hours. As was expected, there were a large number of friends of the prisoners con- gregated about the police courts, and as soon a8 they were disposed of there was a rush as to who should be the frst to give bail Justice Smith, after disposing of about a dozen cases of mtoxication and disorderly conduct, called up Kunigunde Lubking, of No, 81 Grand street, The prisoner was a middle- aged woman, dressed in black and heavily veiled, Officer John O'Brien, of the Eighth precinct, made the complaint, and stated that he saw the prisoner expose and seil liquor, The prisoner, on being brought tothe bar, refused to hft her veil tilt forced to do so by the Court. . “Dve got smallpox,” she said, “and don't wisb you to see my face,”” She admitted that she sold beer on Sunday, but alleged in oxtenuation cf the offenco that she had only been three weeks out of the smallpox hospital, Mra, Lubking gave bail. Frederick Memmond, of No. 116 Prince street, was held in $100 for violating the Sunday liquor Jaw, and in $600 for asaaulting the officer who arrested bim.

Men who carry out the law should act in good faith and require every person in that business to close on Sunday, completely and absolutely, so that it coula not be said that one class of men have privileges over another, JUDGE KASMIRE’S IDEAS. Judge Kasmire thought that when an officer discoy- ered any violation of the law he should obtain a w: same as any other Delay in the punish- ment of offenders against the law tends to a disregard of its requirements, ana this 18 just what has occurred with regard to tne Excise law. It is alsoa great mis- take; he thought, to permit policemen to assume the character of spies and informers against citizens. That, he thought, was only calculated to make a mockery of justice. = fs Wass soneus sheer ee ke Ju urray was yest en to by a Heratp ts oy and he frankly ndmied that he thought tho raid on the liquor dealers was altogether unjustifiable asa party measure. If it wera one be thought it was most impolitic. ‘Fernando Wood,” sald be, “was a man anda politician, He tried the same thing years ago and did not meet with mach steceas; and Jo n A. Kennedy, who was a thorough police tried it, and only succeeded in making himself a target for at- tack from all quarters, I think this raid will turna great many people against the present powers that be, for ninety-five men out of a hundred that I have spoken to to-day seemed to treasure it up as something that had yet to be accounted for.” WHAT THE DEALERS SAY. Areporter for the Hreaup visited the most promi nent liquor saloons yesterday for the purpose of ascer- taining the sentiment of the dealers in relation to the raid. Without exception they were found to be greatly incensed at what they call the “job” sprung apon them by the Police Commissioners with @ moment's warning. Everywhere there seomed to bea strong sentiment in favor of united opposition of the dealers to the action of the Police and Excise boards. Two or three of the larger dealers declared that they were rejoicéd at the conduct of the police on Sunday, for they now, think they see .an opportunity for the final and definite settlement of the question of selling beer on the Sabbath. These men were extremely bitter toward District Attorney Phelps tor not giviog them a chance to be tried in court, and in this way have some conclusion arrived at. ‘Time and again we have been arrested and taken before a police justice, whero we aro either fined of dischar; with © — roprimand, which latter almost crushes you may be sure, We want Mr. Phelps to have us indicted by the Grand Jury and thus geve wu: ese would-be pious folk court competent to‘rendera decision that will ether result in our closing uniformly up on Sanday or will compel the police to keep their hands of.

MINISTERS’ CONFERENCES. METHODISTS ON CAMP MEETINGS AND BAPTISTS ON THE INTERMEDIATE STATE. The nearness of the camp meeting season gave the Methodist preachers a good opportunity and excuse yesterday for the discussion of this phase of modern Methodism, Mr, Joel Sammis, a member of the Executive Committee of Sing Sing camp meeting, being present, was invited to speak. He did 80, with special reference to Sing Sing, which he satd had been so crippled by ROUND LAKE, OCRAN GROVE, SRA CLIFF and other piaces of recreation that four years ago he advised the sale of the ground at Sing Sing. It was put to a vote, and nine out of filteen members of the | Executive Committee of Sing Sing declared in favor of coutinuing this meeting, and a comfortable jodgieg house was built and other improvements made. The trustees had this year invited Rev. Dr. Ives, of Auburn, to take charge of the meeting, and they expected a good spiritual time, They had Mixed tne time of meet- ing for July 25. v. Mr. Lloyd asked Mr. Sammis a question which set the ball iu rapid motion, and which touched a thought that lay beneath tke surface—numely, Is Dr. Ives to be paid for his services at the camp meeting? The pertinency of this inquiry will be understood when itis kuown that Dr. ives charges for his services at church dedications and other occasions, and be would not come from Auburn to : SING SING FOR TEN without the assurance of pay. Hi Mr. Sammis was obliged to confvss that ihe Doctor expects to have all ‘his expenses puid and w receive some other compensa- tion besides, the amount not bemg determined, as the correspondence had pot closed. Thereupon Mr, Lioyd eige Rotice lo the Camp Meeting Committee, through (tS representative, that he showid uot preach at Sing ‘Siog unless he was paid for his services ulso, and he hoped no other preachor in New York or Brooklyn would dow o thought it was imvidious to the presiding eldet id preachers of the New York and East. con- ferences to import a minister fiom another conference to preside over a meetiag in which New York and Brooklyn ministers are expected to officiate. Dr, Roehe sumed up his remarks by saying tuat if the meeting 1s to bo purely spiriual there «re many men Within the two conferences named who are just as spiritual as Dr. Ives. If Dr. lves comes for money for himselt tt 1s blighting; if lor money for the camp meeting, it is blasting. The spirituality o: the mect- ing is gone, The discussion was continued by Revs. Dickinson, Goss, Bouton, b. M. Adams, Mickles and others, svine of whom deemed the form which the dis- cussiod had taken vinpertinent toward the Camp Moet- | ing Committee, who ure quite competent to judge | of the conduct ot their own business without instruc: | tions from the preachers’ meeting, Nevertheless, a | ! i resolution by Mr. Lioyd asked the Sing Sing commit. | leo to reconsider their invitauion to Dr. Ives avd to ive it in charge of the presiding elders of the New | York Contere ‘This resolution was adopted by a | majority of one in a.vote of seventeen, the xreatgna- | jority of preachers reiusing to vote on the question, TUE BAPTIST MINISTERS’ CONFERENCR listened tp and discussed an essay on **fle Intermedi- ate State of the Dead,” by the Rev.

YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS—DISCUSSIONS ON HOME MISSIONS AND SUSTENTATION OF PAs- TORS, EDUCATION AND OTHER INTERESTS OF THE CHURCH. At the opening of proceedings in the Presbyterian Genoral Assembly yesterday the appeal of Rev, E. Bailey Smith from tho action of the Presbytery of | Westchester was received and reierred to the Judicial Committee. It will be remombered that a couple of years ago this Presbytery dismissed Mr, Smith for holding ‘heretical sentiments in that he believed there are still the order of apostics in the Church, and that they have the power of working miracles as in the early’ days of Christianity.

This shows a falling off of 38 irom last year and 92 from the number who two yeurs ago wore studying for ibe ministry.
