A CONTESTED SEAT.

1he Tight OF Judge Il. *. =. O11elVeny
10 represent the counties Of Marion, Jef-
tr:on and Hamilton in the Constitutional
Convention, is contested by James T.
Dwyer, Of Salem, Marion county, on the
ground that the present Constitution pro-
hibi1s Judges Of the Supreme or Circuit
Courts from holding any other Office dur.
ing the term for which they were elected,
OF ior one year thereafter. Judge O'Mel-
scDy ceased to hold the Office Of Judge Of
the. Circuit Court less than six months
since, and clearly comes within The pro-
hibition, which is in the following terms,
in article Y, section 10:
1.-THE Judges Of the Supreme and Circuit
Courts shall not be eligible to any other o1cs Of
public trust or profit, in this State or the United
statef, during the term for which they were elect
I'd, nor for ene year thereafter. All votes for
either Of them fer any esctire oDics (c1cept that
Of Judge of the Supreme or Circuit Court) given
by the general assembly OF the people, shat be
goid-''
The decision Of the United States Sen
ate, in Judge Trumbulrs case, was that
State Constitution could not prescribe the
qualifications Of an officer Of the United
States, and that all State provisions seek
ing to define the qualifications of United
States Senators, were null and void Inas-
much as Judge o'Melyeny is not chosen
to fill a United States Office, it is obvious
that the clause ITO have quoted stands in
full force against his right to take the seat.
This, we imagine, will be sufficient reason
for showing Ar. o'Melveny the outside of
the State House, but there are other rea-
sons why he should not be permitted to
