The TEXAS QUEsrIoN.-It is the general
opinion among Republican congressman
that it will be very impolitic for the Admin
istration to sustain the Republicans OF Texas
in their efforts to nullify the result of the
late election in that State, more especially as
they recognized its validity by taking part
in it. The Democratic majority in the State
is overwhelming. The Democratic leaders
send word here that they are resolved to in
stall in their offices those who were elected,
unless prevented by overwhelming Federal
Mr.. Williams may be very
anxious to do for Davis what he did for kel-
logg, but if the President follows his counsel
again he will do it in opposition to the views
of the large majority of his supporters. The
General, however, stated to-day in
conversation that he had given nothing like
a positive assurance to any one of what ac-
ton he would recommend in the. Texas mat
ter. He said that he had had some CONVEX
sation on the subject, but not beyond that.
When the subject came before him officially
he would give his OPINION Washington

FAILURE OF PRoHIBITIoN.-A very remark
able illustration Of the practical worthless
ness of the most stringent laws against the
sale of Intoxicating liquors is given in the
annual report of the Superintendent of the
City Prison Of Boston. The sale of liquor
is absolutely prohibited in Boston, and the
State employs constabulary force whose
duty is to compel obedience to the law In
this respect and to seize liquor that is offered
to the public. 1t is fact well known IN
that city that the law is evaded constantly,
despite the really honest efforts that are
made to enforce it, and it now turns out
that the arrests for drunkenness form nearly
two-thirds of the whole number Of arrests
made. Last year. 14,S71 persons were COM
mitted to the city prison, and of these 1858
were locked up for being drunk in the
streets, 322 more were arrested as "com.
mon :drunkards," aud 80 others were
brought to the institution while suffering
from delirium trenens. We doubt if a
worse exhibit than this is made in any other
city in the country. The means will not
secure the end. Whatever legislation Is
needed in the matter it must be of g differ
ent character from that which has been un-
dertaken in New England. Sun.

Mr. suassa on Wednesday presented the
petition OF several thousand persons remon-
stratipg. agninst the sso-cnlled Theological
amendment to the Constitution. This pro-
posed amendment is one that recognizes
God. The northern world seems greatly
agitated both wayson this question. The
list Of signatures to Mr.. SUMMERS petition is
reported to be 953 feet long. We take pride
in the fact that the South rests undlsturbeo
by such folly. The date of thetohstltutlon
