Now, if the "General Assembly " of this article was intended to be included in the epression of the 158th Art., "all civil of. e.s theu elected, etc.," why incorporate the artile 19, at all? any further than to my wheb these civil offocers of the General As sembly should meet? If the expression "all civil oficers." meant Legislators, why was a diffrrence in the time of their induction into office stipulated? Why were the former to enter upon the discharge of their duties on the second Mon day after their election, etc., and the latter on the third Monday, unonuditionally! If the terms " all civil oaeer,," included the asmabers of the Legislature, then I main tai that the General Asse.bly entered upon the discharge of their duties on the s end Monday also. But they are not civil cticero within the meaning of the Constitution, if tried by any of the tests. They receive no commissiona. they give no bond. It is true they take an oath; al do arbitrators, amicable compoud. ea appraisers, witnesses and others. Bet who, on this account, will say these are civil eieers, eto? Again, as Legislators, no one of the con servatery writs known to our law can reach them in the performance of the duties of their office, and yet they reach all the other civil ofcers, according to their functions. How would a lawyer go about enjoining them as tesgistators? A mt aiMS I not reach them. nor would a writ of prdhibi tion, eertiorai, nor quo warranto. They are priviliged from arrest during their attmid ance upon the sessions of their respective Iusess, umless for treaseo, felony en bre of the peace. But again; the framers of the Constitution themselves evidently intended to make s distiuction between them and civil aoicers. for in atrtiole 41, the Constitution says, "no Senator or Representative shall be appoint ed to any civil ocoe, created during his term of office, sooner than one year there after." Representatives are ohoeen for two years. and their election is to take place on the first Monday of November every two years. Arts. 16 and 17. These articles had reference -to the per manent State Government ordained by the Constitution. If it did not It provided for an impossibility. The General Assembly eleqtcd on the 17th and 18th of April could exist two ears in darn..tiu. kt doqped to exercise its functions two years and a half. The irst was probable, the latter is Con stitutiodally impossible. If the Legislature elected in April, 1868 was not fwacts oEfcio on the first Monday el November following, it cannot be until the Mrst Monday of November A. D. 1870. Be pause, if it was intended that it should last two years. as is provided for the ofciail ex. stenoo of Representative, by Art. 16, them 1tstwoyears of existence will not terminate natil the 18th day of April, 1870. As we ceemot hold an election for menm. bars of the General Assembly befoet the let Monday of November, and as there can no interregnum, it follows that the pres distinguished body most survive two oears and a half in spite of the express let er of the Constitution to the contrary not " Art. 16.

SWhat Legislature was this! The article 9 is tolerably explieit in declaring that "noses. a slon shall extend beyond the period of silty I days, to date from its commencement, etc.; b but the Legslaturo that shall eonvene after the adoption of this Constitutioen (and we may add after its approval by Congress, be Soases atil approved it was not a Contlte Stits) may eeatiaue in session for one bha. e ded and tweaty days." So that in realty Stas whole session-life, instead of beiag di ,vided, as all subsequent Legislatues are, v unash ordinary circumstanes, into two ses , sloms of sixty days each, was consilidated into one session of one hundred and twenty j days. This, then, was the term ofits etist ease, as Art. 17 declares that "Representa tires shall be chosen on the first Monday of Miemmabe, every twoyears." The two anual sessiones of the Legiale tame oembined, gin to the Xspresentetiw. r bet one hundread d-twenty days within which they can legislate, unless ooivemde for special purposes by the Governor. (See Art. 61.) ad interim. But the circumstances authorizing the Gov error to convene the Legislature must be e.-raordimsry. So that the Legislature eieeted en the 17th and 10th of April, A. D. 188N. bad, under the provision of the Co. sitotiou above quoted, as many days of power to legislate as any other, or a the one that should have been elected on theira Monday of November of that year. They received their full quantum of the State money in the form of per diem, eto., and should be satified. We*trust the Governor will redaeet upop this Objelt; and if he finds anything in the fenespgisg heleetioes to satisf his mind as te the fee that the the Legislature of 1-t was isates t#ei on the ltt day of November of that year, that he will in due time order election in accordamee with the evidint meaning of the Constitution. The people will appreelate it and sustain himn l it. One other thought, and we have dapa. Constitutional rules must be regarded in the light of limitations upon the power to be ex ercised, and it is not prudent or wise to make them vary to suit abstract theories. If Constitutional provision is to be carried o at all such as the 10th and 17th articles, most be regarded and obeyed as premp.oc in ise aturs. Tosy that it is only directory, is to say that it may or may not be obeyed; in which *.ut Zhu tlaruament as a whole, would be thrown into confusion, sad cease to provide limits for legislative authority, or executive power. These articles of the C'onstitution are mandatory. and should be enfoseed to the letter; 'for Constitutions do not usually ineartake to prescrion seere rsler of pro seeding, asCept when such rules are lookee upon a esstl to the thing to be daie.
