J. Triacco, was tor undorvaluation of a lot of trimmings, the ap- praised valuation of which was $14,000. Tho officers of the customs were immediately put in charge of the premises of the firm, and for two weoks the whole business was stopped, ut an immense loss to the delendants, Every expedient was resorted to for the purpose of protecting the interosts of the Orm by the resident partner, but it was only when bonds to the amount of $56,000 were furnished that the business was permitied to proceed.

WHAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE EXCISE BO\RD THINKS OF THE LAW oF 1857—FIVE THOU- BAND PERSONS UNLAWFULLY SELLING LIQUOR IN NEW YORK CITY, The recent decision of the Court of Appenis in refer. |, ence to section 14 of the Act of 1857, and the action of Judge Sutherland tn the Court of General Sessions on Tuesday in fining Mr. Gilney, a barroom keeper, for not having a proper license, has caused consideravlo excitement among two different classea of the com- | Mupity— to wit, tho saloon keepers and the temperance men. PRESIDENT MORTON'S VIEWS. A reporter of the Herat called at the offices of the Boara of Excise yesterday to inquire whether tho Court of Appeals decision would result in their taking apy action in reference to the violation of the law, The President of the Board, Mr, Commissioner Morton, said that the full text of the decision had not yet been Feceived by him, and until that arrived and had been carctully read the Board would not reach any decision as to the course to be pursucd, ‘Our duties,'’ said Mr. Morton, “asa board are very stinple, but ‘impor- our ‘business is to receive applications for Hecnses to seit liquor and to grant them to persous of good moral character,” “Ie i not your duty,’? imquired the reporter, ‘to take notice of the violation of the Excise laws?” Commissioner Moxtox—No, there 1s no such obli- gation upon the Board; it bas a discretionary duy that would enable it to take notice of such viglations Af it desired to exercise it, Revontex—Thea, when ‘Joe’? Coburn was keeping saloon and selling liquors without a license, and such fact was known to you as a Commissioner, you would not interiero? Commissioner MoRTON—Vhat is the duty of the po- Hee; they are there to seo that saloou keepers lave a license placed in a prominent position tu the saloon and to report apy failure ip this respect, and il aisor- derly and disreputavle charactors use the siloon aga resort they arc to report that aud thus bring the matter undef our cognizance. But there are hundreas 0} places in this city whero liquor 1s sold without an license that are not reported by the police. if the Board was disposed to take up these casos of the Violation of the law it has not « suficient appropri tion to enable it to do the work thorouguly, The 1’ hee Board has 2,000 men and an appropriation of $3,000,000. 1t cun do this necessary work It it puts forth its power and the Board will givo the order. Rerortsk—How many persons are seiiing liquor in this city who would come within the description of tho Act of 1857, which says that it is not lawtul to sell liquor uniess Under a license as keeper ot either an ino, a tavern or a hotel? THK ILLEGAL LIQUOR TRAFFIC OF XEW YORK. Commissioner SMontox—About five tauusand in this etty; about three thousand, | should think, in Brook- lyn, and several thousaud throughout the State, of course, includes the keepers of lager beer who as retailers of layer beer would wy ably be strictly liable, but who ail of well other hquors besides lager beer, and this would bring thei within the penal clause, Wito so large a number of citizens inter in this decision we should not act precipitatcly as a board, even if it were our duty totake an initiatory stop, We shall await some action by the pulice, which will probably hot be taken until it 18 seen what the State Legisiature will do in the matter of legislation to meet the decision of the Court of Appenis, und the re- vorsal of the decision of Judgo KE. Darwin Smith, at Rochester, A bill has already been introduced for this purpose in the Assembly, ana it, or something equivalent to it, will provably’ become law, Civiltzas tion seems to have demanded that the liquor truflio should ve regulated, aod expericuce spows that, it 18 useless (to attempt to prohidit it. The law of 1857 is certainly out vi date now, The present age, with ite railroads ail over the country, obliging travellers to travel by railroad and not vn horseback on country roads, hag changod the customs of the people and limited the number of tavern keepers, whose auty it was to “provide tor man and beast’ 10 1867 Union square was tho limits of the city, almost, and down town merchants would go home 'to Inch. Now ail that is changed, Down town merchants must lunch down town and obtain rofroshmonts quickly, and the restaurant and the saloon aro a necessity of th modern days. To go back to the times of 1857 Burd and fegislition now will not contemplate any such folly, Tho dificuity has entirely arisen fom tho al aspect of the question. The law of 1870 wi supposed to provide tor it, The Court of Appeals says it does not and the Legisiature must now repair that detect, As far es the Board of Excise is concernod 16 ‘Will wait for that repair, and 1 think the Volice Board wilt do likewise, PRESIDENT NOYES BAILED.

COMMISSIONER NICHOLS MAKES A STATEMENT— USELESS SCOWS AND NOWHERE TO DUMP THE DIRT. Potica Commissioner Nichols, with his executive officer, Captain Gunner, and the other officials cou- nected with tho Street Cleaning Bureau, were visited yesterday ou bebaif of the Henaup, at their bead- quarters in Mulberry street, “Any news from the Street Cleaning Department this morning?” queried the visitor, No; there was nothing new, Everything was “stale, flat and unproft- able,” as the garbage which ornaments the front yards | atthe tenement houses in the German and the Italian quarters of the city, Atter somo pleasant couversa- tion Commissioner Nichois made the Interesting state- meut which is here given, PLEA OF THK STREET CLBANING BURKAU. “Tho Street Cleaning Department,’ said the Com, missioner, “bas endeavored every day, when the weather permitted, to remove as much dirt from the Streets as the means at fie command would admit. A | Great difficulty to contend againat eo Want of some convenient place whereon to dump the asnes and | refuse as they are removed by the carts. The only way that can at present be used ts to send the dirt in scows out to the high sea, The scows are unsea- Worthy, and it 1# impossible to take them outside the Narrows uuless in lair weather, Private parties offered | grounds which the department coult avail itselt of; but when the work of depositing there commenced the bureau was enjoined by legal process from continuing. THK TROUBLE MEGAN LAXT YEAR, ‘Betore the mouth of June last the department was Dot much embarrassed with fegurd to a place of de- | posit, for up to that time all the retuse collected on | the West side was removed by the Central Railrond Company of New Jersey on boats furnished at their own expense, The complaints about dirt being piled Up and nov removed trom the streets ts now princi- | paily attributable to the fact that during the prevalence ot high winds the dirt scows cannot gu to sea. Tho ‘scoWS aro {rail and unable to stand rough weather, but when better boats are obtained the reiuse wiil be col- fected and removed on them. THK AMOUNT UF WORK DONK “From the tirst day of January last until the end of March, being tho first quarcer of the present year, 148 mulesy of strovts huve been cleaned, 53 miles picked up and 212,687 loads ot ashes and reuse re- moved ; 24,595 louds of street dirt and 39,296 of ice aud snow have all veen carted away at a total expense of $137,121 ior the entire three mouths, Since the 1s with the Tth of this month inclusive, 82,000 loads material havo beon drawn away. There is no Commis. sioner who js not anxtous to keep the streets clean, but without boats to carry away the dirt, or some place to putit, the pubne must for the present see ow impossinle tt 18 for the department to properly discharge its duties, and the shortcomings mast for the present be put up with, Lt 18 woped that Ina Week of ten days all cause of complaint will have dis- appeared, Refuse asa fertilizer bas been offered free by the department to anybody who will take it aw and furatsi boats lor the removal of whatever portic they may require. Some purtics removed about 12,000 loads during -last month, and now one capalboat, onc schooner and a@ scow aro en- gaged in carrying street cleanings away gratuitously, uere aro about five hundred tavorers and as maby airt carts at work daily, On Tuesday the Fourth and Fit teenth wards were cleaned, and ye day the Eighth and Nivth were thoroughly gone over, Lt would takea hittle over $30,000 to get a proper supply of the right kind of scows.to go seaward in all weather, At pres- ent tle Commissioner 18 compolled to hire scows and take whatever kind ho can get Those cratt have to go about sixteen miles trom New York with their joads, some three miles southoastwardly from the red ‘buoy, near Coney Island, Dure ing the months of March aod April there ws always) a larger number ot hands em- ployed by the department; yet the Comptrolier will only allow one-tweifth part of the annual appr \. tions to be arawn in these monthx, The depart might sell the dirtto agriculturists and others if Proper place could be had to dump it on; but at pres- ent the law will not admit of this, as ‘the cleanings have all to be removed every twenty-four hours, HOW IT COULD BR CREMATED. ‘A responsible party ollered to cremate the garbage and refuse, but the adoption of this scheme would in- Volve an oxponso of $150,000 for the erection of a Proper {uroace and its success could only be uacter- mined after tri There is no place within a radius ot twenty-six = mil {rot Now York on which street cleanings could be depos. ited, even with, the proprivtor's consent, because Of legal enactments which torbid it. A law which, it will be remembered, passed the Legislature in 1871, at the insianve of the Brookiyn authorities, has suut the Long Island against the department; and it iso be recollected that the captain of one of the scoWs Was arrested and hold to bail lor trial by the peo- ple of Brookiyn, The department 16 also restrained from going up tho Hudson River with street cleanings. In a projected bill which was sent by the Street Bureau to the Legisiature, askgag that a “pr be designated ax @ dumping ground rashes, Lutie Hell Gate was pointed out as one that could be used, (nto committee, and remaiaed there,’” SENT TO TILK MAYOR, The bill went nue to neglect the important duty of properly ciean- {ug our thoroughfares.

PAVING THE STREETS, Under the Stare laws Commissioner of Public Works Campbell is authorized to certify tothe Board of Aldermen what streets require to be paved and re- paved. Ho ts also empowered to aesignate tho kind of pavement that is to be usod. Several weeks ago he sent ina lst of streets that required attention in this way, val the Aldermen bave failed to pass the neces- sary ordinance authorizing such work. ‘The last kink | originated in relation to the kind of pavement which | should be selectod—trap block or granite. It appearg that the latter material comes trom Massachusetts, aud some of the patriotic City Fathers think it should come trom this St The Committee on Public Works culled upon Mr, Campvubdil yesterday in relauon to the subject, when he explained to them tho sus periority of granite over any other pavemout, When this ordinance passes and the paving contracts are regularly given out several thousands of men can bo ‘pus ab work, ite POLICE BRUTALITY.
