The Civil Tenure question has at last been
harmoniously settled in the Senate, without an
abandonment of the vital principle that the
Senate's power of approval or diSapproVai
extends TO the confirmation OF removals as
we'll as of appointments. The following Is the
text of the measure passed yesterday by
vote of 81 to 15--Only seven Republicans voting
against it

We welcome this, not as the precise form OF
| amendment we should have preferred, but as
| the hest aftainable, and as relief from
tedious and unpleasant interruption at the
outset of the Administration. If now the
House will promptly act upon it, we may hope
for attention to matters of practical legislation
| which it has too long delayed.
New-York tribune., 1869-03-25

there is some explicit provision that shall not
only keep the duties of the census-taker sep
crate from those of the tax-gatherer but shall
discourage the employment of persons whose
previous occupation would arouse in the minds
of the ignorant any suspicion that the enumer-
alton had something to do with the collection
of taxes.--The requirement that the results OF
the census shall all be reduced, edited
and printed, and that the Bureau shall cease
to exist by or before the first of May, 1872, is
excellent--if enforced. The Committee may as
well remember, however, that nothing but the
most stringent provisions in the law will Sc
cure such result.-We are not entirely sure
of the wisdom of fixing the basis OF represen-
tatiori at 10000, and SO running the risk of
having 27O members in the House. That would
be better than the 300 lately threatened; but
it would still be about 40 more than we have
now; and really we think we have about
enough. There are confessedly some advan-
tages possessed by large representative body
over small one; and the tendency doubtless
must be toward an increase. But we confess
that we have no anxiety to hasten 1T. .sal.
New-York tribune., 1869-03-25

The draft of the new Spanish Constitution,
as given in a Cable dispatch from Madrid IS
in many respects more liberal than the Consh-
tuition of any European monarchy. In faet
Spain can hardly be called monarchy, u the
reign of the King is limited to eighteen years;
The majority of the Committee which repO''eo
the Constitution are favorable to the sepaia'
ton between Church and State; the minority
propose the recognition of the Roman Caiiio.ic
Church as the religion OF the Sta'e' pu' !" ''0
same time the toleration of other ctceds.
New-York tribune., 1869-03-25
THE HAcKLEY CONTRACT

Some few years since the iniquities connected
with the contract awarded to A. j. Hackley
for cleaning the streets of this City formed the
staple of public discussion and judicial inquiry.
1t was alleged that the sum of $4,000 was
paid by IIackley to the Corporation and Mayor
for the contract The Grand Jury compelled
Hackley to appear before them, and he refused
10 answer what he did with the $4,000 re-
ceived by him from one Hope Hackley was
committed for contempt Of Court in refusing
to answer. The question was carried to the
Court of Appeals which decided that he must
answer. What became of the matter we have
not heard. 1t was during Oakley Halls admin
istratlon of the Office of District Attorney.
The contract was never performed, and the
Common Council rescinded the arrangement.
Charles Devlin (whO was removed from the
Street Commissioners Office, and whose name
has an odor of Corporation jobs about it) now
turns up, and claims 100000 damages in one
suit for breaking up of the contract; and he
and Charles DE Blsh (another party interested)
mt in n claim before the Board of Audit for
over 100000. This is n pretty fair demand
over Half q Million of Dollars attempted to be
taken from the taxpayers of this City. That
will do.
The case of Devlin is now, we learn, before
Mr.. Homer II. Stuart as referee The ex-
animation of witnesses has elected some facts
tending TO show that the Hon. Ben. Wood
(brother of the Mayor who signed the contract)
had one quarter interest in that contract.
Among Others to show that the streets were
cleaned there have been examined Mayor 0p-
dyke, Controller Brennan, DR.. Sayre, and
other members of the Board of Health. Mr..
Blish Devlins associate,) testified that the
contract was very valuable one for the con-
tractors. On his cross-examinatiOn his testi-
mony, before a Committee of the Senate, was
put into his hands, in which he swore that the
contract involved loss of $4,000 each year.
AS the City is deeply interested in the result,
we shall watch the proceedings hereafter
New-York tribune., 1869-03-25

| We are given to understand that there is TO
be some development of dissatisfaction to-day
in the House, at the fact that Gen. Paine, the
Chairman of the Elections Committee, refuses
to support the report from his fellow commit
teemen IN favor of the prima ;tacie right of Mr.
John Covode to the seat for the XXIst Penn
sylvania District We do not know what may
be the grounds of Gen. Paines dissent, or
what may finally be found to be the exact merits
of this contest. But we think the occasion
fit one for suggesting that this is a question
of law and right, not of party discipline. We
have not always been able to agree with Mr..
Henry L. Dawes, whom the Governor Of Mas
sachusetts has just complimented with the
nomination to the vacancy on the Supreme
Bench of his State caused by Gen. Grants
selection OF an Attorney General; but We
have regarded it as one of his high titles
to the public regard that he has insisted,
as Chairman of the Elections Committee, on
regarding the contests that came before him
as matters over which the party necessities
should exercise no influence. If Gen. Paine is
beginning in the same way, he is doing well.
We are to have a large number of contested
election cases before this Congress, OF which
Mr. COyode's happens to be the first. Let us
have them all honestly decided according to
the law and the facts; and let the inyestiga-
tions and the debate be SO fairly conducted as
TO leave no ground for even the suspicion of
marty bias
