Proposed Amendment to the Federal
Constitution.

The telegraph a few days ago IN
formed us that the Legislature Of
Ohio had ratified an amendment to
the Federal Constitution proposed in
l7s9. We were given to understand
that the amendment in some way
prohibited the increase Of the COM
~psnsation of Senators and Representa-
lives, but the exact nature Of the pro-
posed reform was not clearly stated.
Since then, however, we have taken
pains to investigate the subject fully.
W. hnd that during the first session
Of Congress in New York. in 1879, the
following, together with ten other
amendments to the Constitution, was
submitted to the several States for
ratification
No law varying the compensation
for services of Senators and Repre-
sentatives shall take effect until an
election of the Representatives has
interviewed.
This amendment was offered by
Mr.. Madison, concurred in by both
branches Of Congress, and properly
Transmitted to the several State Legis-
latures. Only six out of the thirteen
ratified it, and thus it failed to become
apart Of the Constitution. 1t is claimed
that Legislatures may now ratify the
vote of Congress. The amendment
has never been withdrawn, nor is
there anything in the Constitution to
limit the act of Congress of 1889. This
same doctrine, it will be remembered,
was invoked when the adoption of
the Fifteenth Amendment was pend
ing before some of the States. Viewed
in the light of recent events in Con-
grsss, the wisdom Of Mr.. Madison's
amendment is indeed most apparent.
Had it been approved by the requisite
number of States, the late salary
steal" a~ggreSating nearly two mil
lions of the peoples money, could not
we'll have been consummated.
We know it is in bad taste to quote
from that obsolete document, the Con-
stitution of the United States, but
while on this subject, and at the fisk of
being considered non-progressive, we
will venture to make just n brief
extract. One of the subdivisions of
article 2, section l, reads thus.
The President shall, at stated
times, receive for his services a COM
pensation, which shall neither be in
creased nor diminished during the
period for which he shall have been
elected, and he shall not receive with
in that period any other emOlument
from the United States, or any of
them.
The President and each Senator and
Representative subscribed a sol
emn oath to observe the force of
this clause along with the other pro-
visions of the Constitution. Let us
see to what extent they were governed
by it. The salary grab-bill, passed by
a large majority Of Congress and
signed by the President, increased
the latter's compensation one hundred
thousand dollars, and that, too, during
the period for which he had already
been elected. Was there ever a more
palpable and fragrant violation Of the
sanctity of an official oath than this ?
If so, we have never heard of it. Still,
Nye. Stewart and Kendall, of our
own young State, recorded their votes
in the affirmative at every stage OF
this unconstitutional, not to say, thiev-
ing measure.

On evidence of the fact that the people

facts that murderers and robbers
should rot be allowed to perpetrate
their damuable deeds and then stalk
