as The Cincinnati 7E5iQaliIer makes the
ii following comments upon the resolu-
,itiop, of Senator Knox, which we print
ii,in,another column -,j7..t .r..,, Sinai. &.
,,a-fPheye is quite an interesting ques-
= tion suggested by. the, proposition of
Mr.. Knox, of Harrison County, in the
.Oiiio . Senate, t0ratify an amendment
tpthe FederaI Constitution proposed
-,ein5 aTS9-eighty-fou years ago-by
g Congress 10 this effect: "No law vary
ing the compensation for the services
h of fhe Senators and Representatives in
rq Congress shailt take effect until an cleo
ton OF Representa- shall have su-
&, pervened.V; 1t, is unfortunate that this
amendment did not receive at the
J. time the assent required of three
fotIrths of the Legislatures: in order to
giveit placein the Constitution. 1t
ought to have been ratified, and that
would have, prevented the late Con-
> gressfonal steal. We can not see what
possible objection there can be except
that it does not-go far enough and in-
,,elude the President, who is like CON
:. gress a part of the law. making power,
and Ought not to be permitted to assist
j2sfn raising his own salary. ,s.i' loeb 3
NIi Butthe interesting question towhich
II weallude is, this: Is san amendment
once submitted by Congress to the
States open always for ratification
~ Can one State ratify it one year; anoth-
or ratify it ten. years after, and so on
until, perhaps, in century the requi-
site number of States have been OBJ
atained? ! There is noEprovision in the
Constitution that fixes a limit of time
- in which States must act in regard to
an. amendment. The law simply is
S"that the Executive Department. can
- take no official notice of it until it is
garatified by ,three-fourfhs of the States.
Curious as. loollssgit, would really
seem as If there was no bar to the
Z States, even now, acting on this old
amendment proposed q. nearly a CEN
=, tury ago. It seems 10 be one of the
Iaclies Of the Constitution in not set
Ting the.poiht as to how long time
the States may have to act on proposed
anendmehts. There is nothing in the
objection that as Ohio wis not admit
iE ted int0the Union nuntil 1902 she can
Ginot, tilerelore, vote to ratify an amend
ment proposed thirteen years before
she became q State. When She was
admitted it was With the express stip-
e.iulAtio. that she was. to be on equal
footing with all the original States.
Every right G power they had she
mas W e are. ;gladiitIiat this PROPOSE

Investigation upon an Important con-
siitutional question, even if practical

Government. 1t would have prevent
en- in all probability clouds of suspicion
from darkening the future of wise and
able statesmen, who in all else have
justified the expectations and conf
dencs of their constituents, and have
saved to the councils of the nation men
who have done the State "some ser.
vice."
Mr.. Madison, probably from a sense
of delicacy, spoke of this amendment
as one of the "minor cases" enumerat-
ed in his proposition. And though
not giving it that prominence, nor that
Importance which later day has
shown it merited, l cannot do better
than to quote his argument in its fa-
vor. He said (Annals of Congress,
page 45i, volume 1.): "There are
some minor cases in which i
also wish to see some alteration take
place. That article which leaves it in
the power of the Legislature to ascer-
tain its own emOlument is one 10
which I allude. l do not believe this
is power which, in the ordinary
course of government. is likely to be
abused. Perhaps of all the powers
granted it is least likely to abuse; but
there is a seeming impropriety in
leaving and set of men without control
to put their hands into the public
Golfers to take out money to put in
their pockets; there is a seeming indie
corum in such power which leads me
to propose a change. We have a guide
to this alteration in several of the
which the different Con-
ventions have proposed. Ihave gone,
SO far as to fix it that no law
varying the compensation shall ope-
rate until there is a change in the Leg
islature; in which case it cannot he for
the particular beueft of those who are
in determining the value of
the service"

Wells had been among us but few months, whitber lie had come with the faint hope of restoring broken constitution, yet those of us who had the happiness offormipg his acquaintance, found him pes sessed of all those nobler traits which illus. rate alike the charac- Ter of the tender husband and father, the gaod citizen, and wor. thy Mason.
