On Wednesday next Cat p. n.y. there is to
be hearing before the Committee on Internal
Affairs at Albany concerning the Excise law.
We have often, and very recently urged the
Importance of sustaining this law. Liquor
.ellers oppose it mainly because it abridges
their still abundant profits. Gopd citizens re-
joce in il because it delivers us from riotous
bacchanalian revels on Sunday, reduces the
work of the police-of1icers and jail-keepers,
dminishes crime, and to that extent lightens
taxes. Let us have these points clearly pre-
sented before the Committee, and enforced by
tho experience and judgment Of our best and
most prominent citizens.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1869-02-23

Just ten votes were mustered in the House
Yesterday evening, in favor of resolution to
increase the Presidents salary. The action is
excellent, but we beg Representatives not to
suffer their virtue to be exhausted in this
economy at the top of the list. Within the
next nine days we shall have plenty of efforts
in the same direction, lower down. The rule
to which our President cheerfully submits 1t Is
not too much to enforce also in the cases OF his
subOrdinates. Watch, from now till the end OF
the session, all manner of direct and indirect
efforts to get salaries raised!
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1869-02-23

We suppose the action of the Senate caucus
Yesterday may be taken as settling for this
session the fate of the effort to repeal the Civil
Tenure of Office act. We cannot doubt that
the decision thus reached is in accordance with
the better judgment Of the Republican party
throughout the country. The bill doubtless
needs, and in the next Congress will promptly
receive, important notifications /; but Its essen
tial principle is sound one, applicable at all
times and under all administrations.

THE PdP1GU1Y PRISONERS.

The story of Messrs. Bliss and Masterman,
the prisoners who have just returned from
Paraguay, is such wretched, humilating tale,
that we fear many who read will be slow to
believe it. Yet nobody can listen to the con-
versatiOn of these two gentlemen without the
conviction that it is true in its smallest details.
We refer to the narrative elsewhere printed
for O picture Of the kind of treatment to which
American officials have been subjected in o
foreign land; nothing that we can say here
will add to its effect. Lopez, according to
these escaped captives, is already so near de-
structon that neither punishment nor satisfac-
ton can now be exacted from him; but We
trust that the circumstances Of the surrender
of these two young gentlemen will be care
fully investigated by our Government. If the
impressions of Messrs. Bliss and Masterman
are correct, Admiral Davis has not done his
duty. For month after learning of the out
rage, he did nothing and then, instead of ex-
acting the immediate release Of the prisoners,
and reparation for the indignity to our flag,
lie seems to have taken their release as q
favor and sent them home as prisoners Ad-
miral Davis is o gallant and cOurtly officer,
whom we are 10th to blame, and it will be only
fair to wait for his explanation before we COM
NIT ourselves to censure. But an investigation
VIC demand at once. 1t is a question now
whether we shall not have to punish the out
rage of illegally imprisoning members of the
United States diplomatic service, not only in
foreign dungeon, but in an American ship of
war.

TEXAS.


The Constitutional Convention at length fin
ished its work on the 9th INST. The Constitu-
ton adopted for the proposed new State of
West Texas has already been noticed in these
columns; that for Texas proper is not before
us but it is protested against by some twenty
members of the Convention as regardless OF
the rights and security of loyal men, and too
favorable to the Rebels These members say !:
1--WE do most earnestly and sOlemnly protest against
that provision IN the which extends
the public enemies Of the United States feeling assured
that 1t the aim Of Congress 70 enable the loyal people
OF Texas without regard to any distinction OF
color to reorganize and MAINTAIN Government in tho
place Of that overthrown by the Rebellion. And
mat the adoption by the majority OF the; Con
ysnlion OF the provisions IN regard to sufrages was
the gravest censure.
60 The majority OF the Convention have deliberately
removed from the Constitution every safeguard for
t the protection OF the loyal voters. white and
the whole system of registry They have r-padi.
s stea me oath OF .oyey contained In thSI Re:
civil and political rights And we do most soemnly call
upon the registered voters OF Texas TO vndcae this ma
their votes" - -
We infer that the Constitution will he rat
flied and the division of the State acquieseed
in. Either Texas or West Texas will still be
much larger in area than any other State of
the Union. California perhaps excepted. z.
The Constitution is to be ratified or re-
iected by the people at an election to be hold
en- on the first Monday in July, at which time
State and County officers, Members of Congress
and of the State Legislature are to be chosen
not to serve OF course unless the Constitution be
ratified. In that case the Legislature will meet

The English Ministry have officially announced
that they propose to release from Imprisonment
As Fenians. The Ministers will be unable to
comply with all the demands of the National
Irish party, but they will, we doubt not, earn
the reputation of having been more just toward
Ireland than any of the preceding Cabinets.
