ton Of the fees collected By than The
county, and town, and city officers oughtto

bic, snd all fees ought to be paid into the

il it were possible, to hare the dstails Of
Ibis system put into the constitution. These
should be left with the Legislature. But the
convention can prescribe TINT al fees, COL
iected by ali officers, State, county, town,
and city, over certain amount. shall be
collected for the public, and ahall be paid
into the treasury. This will leave nothing
uncertain. All officers will then get fixed

The objection to the fixed allowance or
salary system, TINT under it the oficars will
not perform their duties with zeal, will not
collect the fees, and Will become indifferent
to all things but the receipt OF their salary,
isa visionary one. There Will be no lack
Of candidates for all the of6ces, and nothing
will be easier than to deduct from the sals-
1ios all fees lost by the neglect or ignorance
OF the officer. There will never be a lack
Of competent men to take these offices, and
willing to take all the risks.
The convention should also provide for
tie protection Of cities. counties, and town,
By prohibiting an iucrease Of the SALARY
Of any officer by the Legislature, except
upon the official request Of the corporate
authorities Of the town, county, or city.
This will abolish that system, which has pre-
vailed SO long in this Stats, Of corrupt
special legislation to increase salariea Of
local officers without the knowledge Of the
public who have to pay them. We hope
the convention will not be driven from this
long-ueeded reform by the protests and
threats of offce-holders- Let the couven-
ton do its duty, and rely upon the honesty
and intelligence Of the people to sustain
them.

rPEg AND EAIARIEH.

The only serious objection urged at
Springfield to the adoption, in the consdtu-
tion, of system OF maximum salaries and
erno!uuents for pnbIic officers who are paid
hy fees is the supposed difficulty Of arrang-
ing the details. The greatest part OF this
difficulty will, however, disappear the mo-
ment that the convention votes to adopt
that system The convention IN 1877
thought that they had placed limit upon
of1lciAl emoluments when they named the
s.la1ies Of the Governor, several State
ofhcers, md all the judges, md added to
the respective suns named The words sand
no more" This proved u total failure, be-
cause, when the salaries became inadequate,
there IVES way found to Add Largely to the
allowances.
There are three classes Of officers in this
State whose mode Of compensation should
be fixed by law. These are the State off.
ccrs, tie county and town officers, and the
officers of cities, and the aggregate amount
Of their present compensation, direct and
indirect, is very large. This compensation
iscf two H1ds-di1ect, as By fixed salary
indirect, as by fees; and mixed when i
includes both fees and salaries. Pnblit
Offices are created not to furnish employ
ment Of provide means Of support for indi
yiduals. They a1e established be
cause essential to the execution Q
public busiress, and TO protect ant
promote the public interests. Tn
moment an Office is not required for thes
purposes it ought to be abolished. Ih
compensation OF public officers should b
certain and fixed; it should he liberal II
the extent necessary to secure competen
men Of integrity, and should never hay
for lis purpose anything beyond fair com
pensation for the labor performed. Ever.

Mr.. Vending, member Of the Constitu-
tona1 Convention from Shelby County,
seems to think that it is practicable for the
6tate Of Illinois to add 10 or subtract from
tho provisions Of the Constitution Of the
United States in regard to the method of
ratfying amendments to that instrument.
Supposing that Mr.. WendllIg's proposition
were adopted, and that clause wero en-
bodied in our State Constitution prohibiting
the Legislature from ratifsing an amend
ment until two years after it wero submit
ted. Supposing then that a Legislature of
Illinois should ratify an amendment pro-
posed by Congress before the expiration Of
two yearB. Would it be ratified or not ::
Would the United States Government, in
its several branches, look ut the Unitea
States Constitution to ascertain whether the
amendment had been duly ratified, OF would
it 60 1nousinR through the constitu-
tiops Of tbirty-three States to find
out2 Mr. Weddings proposition is
manifestly absurd. The existing State
Constitution prohibits the Legislature from
electirg Judge Of ihe Supreme or Circuit
Court TO any other Office, and declares that
all votes cast for Lin shall be void. New
ertheless, tho Legislature elected Judge
T1umbull as United Suites Senator in 1861,
While he WIS Judge Of the Supreme Court,
md The United States Senate, which vas
then overwhelmingly Democratic in its
composition, decided that the prohibitors
clause in our State Constitution WIS null
and void, because no State could add to OF
subtract from the qualifications OF Senators
