Last Monday was the lust day under the new liquor law of 1S79 for the payment of the tax upon tbc business of selliiiir spiritüoüs or intoxicatiag liquor Imposed by the act of isn. Under that act radical changos have been made in the marmer of levying and collectiog of this tax. By thérovis'ons oí' the old law the name of each dealer was returned by the supervisor of rué township or ward in which such on was carrying on business to the oounty treasurer, and thai official was lired to be and rema' n in his office upon the second, third and fourth Fndays of Juno in eac'u and everj year for the purpose ol receiving payment of the tax from persons so assessed. li' any person so assessed noglected to pay ■ led agafosi kir by the supervisor by the fourth Friday in June the cóunty treasurer must within live days thereafter issue his warrant io the sheriff fortlie collection of the sum so assessed against any delinquent, and upon this warrant the sheriff was empowered to seize any property of the person so aesessed, without regard to exempüons or indeed to any mortgages or other liens upon property used in carrying on the business. If the tax could not he raised in this manner the dealer upon the return of the warrant by the sheriff unsatisfied wasamenable to a criminal prosecution if he persisten in carrying on the business. Last year under this law the tax assessed was collected against every dealer in the county with one exception, and he was convicted and imprisoned in the county jail for tliirty days and tlieii went outof the business. Under thenewlaw all this is changed. No assessment is made by any one.
