Second CloapR.-Bdt is this law?
First c9ogR,--Ay, marry -; cFo'Tners-auest law.
The Delta's law on the term of the ex-Notariss,
though not so good as that Of the Clown, is some
what in the same style. 1t has sufficient number

stansis. John Hunter said that when he did MT

know the cause of phenomenon he always attri.
buted it to the vis vita, some other thing that
nobody understood. John Hunter is better aulho-
rty than the Delta can usually cite for the course
Land tenor OF It's arguments.
In order to get rid of the clear and unequivocal
article of the Constitution which declares that the
duration Of all Offices not fixed by this Constitution
shall neUer exceed four years, the article of the
schedule is cited, providing that " in order that nc
Inconvenience may result to the public ssviee from
1.-THE taking effect of this Constitution Office shall
be superseded thereby, but the laws Of the STATE
relative to the duties Of tbs several officers, execu
i've judicial, and military, shall remain in full
force, though the same may be contrary to Thu
/ Constitution, and the several duties shall be per
formed by the respective officers according to thu
existing laws until the organization of the Govern
ment under this Constitution, and the entering int
Office Of the new officers to be appointed under SAT-
: Government, and no longer" And in commenting
upon the latter clause of this article, the Delta con
cludes that "The NotaRies Public appointed beiOr
the adoption of the new Constitution, now hOl
their Offices in virtue Of their commission, issue
before the adoption of the new Constitution, an
will continue to do until the appointment Of the
SUCCESSORS by the Governor"
Thus the Governor has the power to annul an art
Gle Of the Constitution for the Executive has only
refrain from appointing new Notaries, and the Nots
ries appointed under the old Constitution enio
:, their hfe-tenure tits clear that the article Of Il
II schedule only refers to those offices which wei
{ SHpersede5 by the new Constitution. But the of
" ces of the Notaries were not superseded by the ne
T. Constitution those functonaries were not deprive
of their places by the proclamation of the LIST OF D
o oember, 1915. The term of their offices w
e changed, and the time of their tenure limited to 70
/ years this was all, Besides, the article Of q
schedule speaks only of the organization of Il
- Government under.tbis Constitution, and the ente
1t ing into Office of the officers to be appoint
n under said Government Nor has the new Co
IF stitution spoken a word about the appointment
d Notaries Public under the new Government. Re

9 such officers. They constitute part of t
: Government Of whose Organization the artit
:, in the schedule speaks. The mere reading of I
e article in the schedule is enough to convince a
{ body that it has no reference to Notaries.
We are then thrown back to the plain and impt
Q alive article of the Constitution, which declar
that q the duration of all offices not fixed by Il
n Constitution shall never exceed four years. Al
