SHUT UP.-In consequence Of the seizure
81 liquors at the different hotels in St. Al
bans, they all closed their doors Friday.
The following is the Messengers account
We recorded the fact yesterday that all the

proprietors or lessees Of the same, AMI each now

where he was going, and answered, "Hush I!

They declare that they cannot and will not keep
6pen, unless they can have the privilege Of
selling liquors to their customers. The "Pro-
teciive Association" seems to be firm in insist
ing that there shall be no more selling done
here. Prosecutions for violations of the law
since their published notice are now being car
riCd forward before Justice Sherman. and We
presume ih Il all those who have sold will be
fined, in accordance with the provisions Of the

FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY %, 1867.
The President and Congress.
G. G. s. b, L. BENEDICT.
EDITORS AND PRoPRIEroRs.

For some time past it has seemed as if the
President was willing to compromise with
Congress. abandon some part at least Of
" my policy" and use his influence in favor
Of the ratification of the Constitutional
Amendment and of impartial suffrage, if
thereby representation for the Southern
States which should adopt those measures
could be secured. Conferences with - lead
ing SOutherners," sudden developments of
new plans for reconstruction, speeches
from gentlemen who - believe they repre-
sent the wishes of the President urging
Congress to pass some bill little different
from any thing yet presented and which
Will be satisfactory to all,-these and other
indications have showed that the President
was not 50 blind OF 50 stubborn as not to
take - half loaf. -
The passage OF Mr.. Eliot's bill for tn
government of Louisiana, and of the Stevens
bill for military governments, show that the
majority in Congress do not intend to yield
anything, but having taken their position
mean to keep it; and that the President if
he wishes harmony must come'tO them with
more than a compromise.
ItLo-e bills are passed at once by the
Senate-the President must veto
then TO maintain his consistency, or allow
them t. become laws without his signature.
II he yetoes them and thereby in effect de-
clarcs that be Will adhere to his policy in
despite Of the will of the people, the ques-
tion whether he shall not be impeached will
be brought up again ana his removal from
Office urged with greater force than ever;
and tha: he will veto them is hardly to be
doubted, for he is too anxious to have his
pet plans at leas. appear to succeed, to give
up everything for the sake Of agreement now
with Congress which he has fought SO
long.
