Ex-Vice President CoLFAx and HORACE
WHITE, ESQ, both spent Sunday last in our
village, and like good Christians, attended
church-the FIRST the Presbyterian and the
other the Congregational. As Mr.. White and
the Pastor of the Congregational church have
been classmates in college, there was, very
naturally, fellow feeling between them,
which was renewed and strengthened.

time to time in writing. The advan-
tages to lie gained by these two
amendments are obvious. One ses-
tion in each year is provided for by
the Constitution. in which there are
no restrictions as to the subjects of
legislation by Congress. If more
are required, it IS always in the pow
er of Congress, during their term of
office, to provide for sessions at any
time. The first of these amendments
would protect the public in the many
abuses and waste Of the public mon
eys which creep into appropriation
bills and other important measures
passing during the expiring hours Of
Congress, 20 which otherwise due
consideration cannot be given.
We hope Congress viii adopt the
suggestion Of the President and
promptly correct the evils to which
these proposed sections point.
And when the matter is under con
sideration, We should like to see an
other amendment proposed that
would put all back-pay scandal away
from the temptation of Congress !;
We propose the following:
''Senators and members Of the
House of Representatives shall re-
ceive such salary rs snail be fixed by
law and no other compensation what
ever, whether for service upon com
mittee or otherwise. No member of
either House shall, during the term
for which he may have been elected,
receive any increase of salary, or
mileage under any law passed dur
ing sucn term.
40 law shall extend the term Of
any public officer or increase or di-
minish his salary or emoiuments af-
ter his election or appointment"

President Grant. i'll his annual mes.
sage to Congress, made many sug-
gestions Of great Importance. Among
these important suggestions we count
his recommendation Of two amend
msnts to the Constitution of the
United States, couched IN the follow
ing language:
/. Assuming from the action of the
last Congress IN appointing a Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections to
prepare and report to this Congress
constitutional amendment to pro-
vide a better method of electing the
President and Vice President OF the
United States, and also, from the ne
cessity Of such an amendment, that
there will be submitted to the State
Legislatures for ratification such an
Improvement in our Constitution,
suggest two others for your consid-
erStlOn.
First. To authorize the Executive
to approve of 50 much of any meas
ure passing the two houses, as his
judgment may dictate, without ap-
proving the whole, the disapproved
portion or portions to be subjected
to the same rules as now, to wit: to
be referred back to the house in which
the measure or measures originated, !,
and, if passed by = stwe-thirds vote of
the two houses, then to become q law
without the approval of the President.
| would add TO this Il provision that
there should be no Legislation by
Congress during the last twenty-four
hours of its sitting except upon
votes, in order to give the Executive
an opportunity to examine and APP
prove or disapprove bills understand
ingly.
Second. To provide by amendment
that when an extra session Of Con
gress is convened by executive proc
lamation, legislation during the con-
tinuance OF such extra session shall
be confined to such subjects as the
Executive may bring before it from
