Constitutional Amendment.
Has It Been Adopted? That Is
the~Qucstlon.
The Views of q Number OF Mis-.
sissippi Jurists.
HON. FRANK JOHNSTON,
or j lckson, says:

or Jackson, says:
Section 273 Of the constitution re-
quireS that public notice shall be
given at least three months proceed.
ing an election, at which the quail
tied electors shall vote directly for on
against such amendment. "And IL it
shall appear that a majority OF the
qualified electors voting shall have
voted for the proposed change, alter.
alton or amendment, then it shall be
inserted by the next succeeding legi.-
Iature as part OF the constitution,
and not otherwise.
II the contemplation Of the consti-
tuition is that proposed amendment t
may be submitted at a special elec.
tion held exclusively for the purpose
Of having popular vote on the
amendment, then majority OF those
voting for or against the amendment
would include all OF those voting at
the election, and such majority would
obviously be sufficient. But the
question arises, whether an amend
ment can be thus submitted. or
whether 1t is not required to be SUBJ
mittcd at an election when candi-
dates for State or Congressional offices
are to be voted for.
TIE constitution of 1869 required a
proposed amendment to be submitted
at the next general election to be held
after 1t has passed the legislature.
And also required. for its adoption, a
majority Of the electors voting for
members OF the legislature. This was
also the requirement Of the consti.
tuition Of 1882. 1t will be observed
that prior to the adoption Of the
present constitution, there WAS
general State election. and an cleo
tion for members Of the legislature
every two years.
The constitution chan ged this to ev.
cry four years 80 that II the provision
in respect TO the vote for members OF
the legislature had been brought for
ward, proposed amendments conld only
have been submitted every four years.
The present constitution provides that
the legislature may provide for filling
vacancies in oil Offices which include
State Offices, except where otherwise
provided; And thus the legislature
could provide at any time for special
State elections TO fill vacancies In any
State Office. AT snch an election an
amendment conld be submitted to the
popular vote. There ere also bi ennial
Congressional elections This being
within tue contemplation OF the consti-
tional convention the clause in regard
to the votS for members Of the lexisls.

aud not otherwise. The whole ques-
tion rcvo!ves itself around the word
voting. What did tue constitutions
al convention mean by the use Of that
word? Aside from the history Of the
clause to which we presently refer
it IS manifest that the word voting
requires To be counted in detcrmin-

crciscd the right 10 vote, not unl y on

also those who appeared At the polls

ture, and THIS Is true generally OF
American constitutions. But the
late convention provided In the pres
cnt constitution that members Of the
legislature should only be elected cv.
cry four years. II, therefore, the pro.
visions Of the old constitution on the
subject had been rc-cnactcd, It would
have been competent to vote upon
constitution amendments only every
four years. OfcVltse the convention
saw this and avoided the same by
simply leaving out the words, "for
members of the legislature" thus al-
lowing amendments TO be submitted
to vote OF the people ut any election
This was the purpose, and the only
purpose, OF emitting said words.
