Constitution-making has been in
teady progress in the United (States
for a century, curmlnafing In three
threat periods of activity at the close
of the Revolutionary war, in the ten
years lying just before and after 1850
and in the year just -succeeding the
var. Eachtif these periods was marked
ty the adoption of a large number of
important constitutions, bearing a
family resemblance, and showing
tignsofa successive development in
the conception of the organic law of a
late. In the years now passing pro
jects for constitutional conventions are
rettjr generally voted down, the last
proposal negatived being In Kansas
In 1881, and constitutional changes are
chiefly minor amendments, rarely af
fecting the vital structures of State
Government. Mr. Mcpherson's "hand
book of American Politics," shortly to
fce issued, gives, as usual, a compre
hensive summary of State amend
ments pending and adopted during the
feast two years us well as Federal
amendments before Congress.
Xxperience has shown that nothing
abort of a civil war or a great national
exigency is likely to work an amend
ment in the fundamental law of the
Uuiou, but this circumstance bus
little effect upon Congressmen who
yearly add to the long series of forgot
ten amendments which, begun with
the lirst session of the first Congress,
nave continued ever since, and re
main chiefly valuable for the light
they throw on current political the
ories. It Is barely possible that the
Bouse will next wluter pass the Senate
law regulating theeounting of theelec
toral vote. More is not to be expected,
and the amendments before Congress,
fcy Mr. Hammond, of Georgia, pro
posing three vice-presidents so as to
provide a secure succession, by Mr.
Townsend, of Ohio, for a direct elec
tion by the people, by Mr. Cravens, of
Arkansas, and Mr. Beltzhoover, of
Pennsylvania, for an exact arithmeti
cal appointment of the electoral vote
by population, and by Mr. McCoid, of
Iowa, continuing the tenure of presi
dential electors four years so as to have
a body ready to till vacancies, are as
little likely of adoption as Mr- Wal
lace's proposal in the last Congress to
hoose electors by districts, or Senator
' Morgan's formal attempt to clothe
Congress with .legislative power on
this subject. Mr. Buyne, of this State,
like Mr. White in the last Congress,
proposed to have Senators elected by
the people; the former with a proviso
for additional Senators for the larger
States, and Mr. Belzhoover seeks to
Incorporate in the House the worst
feature of Senatorial tenure, a six-year
term in biennial sections,- while Mr.
Browne, of Indiana, asks for a House
limited to 350 members. The Civil
Reform agitation has led to amend
ments by Mr. Pendleton for the elec
tion of all Federal civil officers by the
people in each district, and by Senator
George, of Mississippi, of these and
the Federal judiciary; while Mr. Ged
des, of Ohio, proposes a board to make
all nominations to the Senate, and Mr.
Buckner, of Missouri, seeks to limit
the President's power of removal to
changes for cause, except in the case
f heads of departments and bureaus.
Prohibitory amendments have been
presented by Senators Rolllngs.Plumb,
and Representative Joyce, a measure
Whose adoption will, unless all signs
fail, be the subject of a national agita
tion in a few years over .unfortunately,
the only other sane amendment in
this entire batch. Mr. Springer, of
Illinois, relegating claims to the court,
has as little chance of adoption as the
rest, having been defeated, yeas 81,
nays 48.
State amendments hi the past two
years have dealt chiefly with the judi
ciary and election laws. Missouri sub
mits to the people next full an elabor
ate and somewhat novel judicial
system, which, while It continues the
carious independent judiciary enjoyed
by St. Louis, provides for the rest of
the rate a supreme court of six, in
- stead of three as now, to be divided
into civil and criminal branches, the
former having superior Jurisdiction,
and tne united court sitting iu banc
whenever the Chief Justice certifies
that the criminal side has ruled in
law or practice contrary to the past
cases or the decisions of the civil side.
An attempt is made to di vide peremp
tory writs of relief between the two
courts, but experience will show the
difficulty of these artificial distinc
tions in the application of law. The
new supreme court in banc is- to hear
appear from St. Louis Courts of Ap
peals, as from the criminal half of its
own bench, so thatMissourl willcease,
If this amendment is adopted, to' pre
eat the-anomalous spectacle' of a
State' with- two- Supreme Courts.
Arkaas, in-1880; and TexAa.Ic 188 f,
both vottdtlown new judicial systems. ,
West Virginia provided, in 1880, for a
Jury of fllx, liy consent, in civil cases,
and Iowa last year reduced grand
juries to from five to fifteen members,
and empowered the Legislature to
provide for indictment "In any x:riml
nal offense, without the Intervention
o( a grand Jury." Connecticut, 1880,
has vested he selection -of higher
judges In the Governor and 'Legisla
ture ; Iowa gives the Legislature the
dangerous power of changing districts
at will Instead of once in four years,
and Maryland has changed thecurious
(uticiuii wii Km gave any judge elec
ted to fill n vacancy In the fifteen
year judical term, fifteen years to serve.
Legislative powers have been sharply
restricted in Minnesota, 1881, by the
Usual llmrtations on special legislation,
the sixty days' limit on the session
adopted In 1800 has been abandoned,
and a stay tat ou sessions by paying
members $?5 a day ; the pay has been
$3 for only ninety days In future.
Wisconsin in the same year decided
on biennial sessions, and raised . legia-
aiive pay to a session, a sum
which, iu frugal Western States, is
still the average legislative pay, as It
was iu the East up to the close of war,
and a few years after. Maine, 1880,
extended the term of its House of
Representatives to two years ; but the
Legislature sits annually. The solitary
change made or proposed in the olllce
or Uoveruor is his election by a
plurality vote In future lu the same
State.
Election law has received more than
customary attention in the last two
years. Indiana has moved out of the
October States, and Iowa will do the
same thing next fall, while the useful
provision requiring thirty days' re.ii
dedce In the precinct was adopted by
the former in lai. Virginia passes
next fall on the abolition of the poll-
tax as a qualification for suffrage,
Massachusetts last fall enfranchised
pauper soldiers, Nevada has struck
out the word "white" from its Const!
tution, and, curiously enough, at an
election, where Chinese immigration
was overwhelmingly condemned,
passed a provision which will permit
naturalized Chinamen to vote. An
amendment permitting female suff
rage is pending between two Indiana
Legislatures, as it is iu Iowa.
Constitutional provisions relating to
taxation are usually brief and chiefly
negative. Their amendment is rare,
Minnesota has found it necessary to
exteud the right of municipal taxa
tion perhaps one should say confisca
tionwithout regard to value and
based ou benefits conferred to the
constructions of water works in towns
of 6,000 inhabitants, a dangerous
liberty. Kansas has refused to strike
out the exemption of $200 of personal
property now existing. Nevada has
prohibited taxation for any but now
sectarian purposes, and New York
passes next fall upon an amendment
which lays on taxation the burden of
maintaining the canals and paying
the canal debt. The economic effects
of this measure are likely to make it
the most important of all the amend
ments summed up here.
Prohibition, an issue whose rising
importance is little appreciated in the
East, has been placed in the organic
law of two Stales, Kansas and Iowa,
and it is pending iu Indiana. It is a
mere question of time when this
amendment, for defeat or success as
the case may be, appears in half the
States in the Union.
THE GREAT JOB YETOED.
PRESIDENT ARTHUR HKfUSES TO
BION THE RIVER AND HARBOR
BILL.
Washington, Aug. I. Here is the
text of the President's message veto
ing the River and Harbor bill :
To the House of Representatives :
Having watched with much interest
the progress of House bill, No. 6,242,
entitled. "An act making appropria
tions for the construction, repair, and
preservation of certain works on rivers
and harbors, and for other purposes,"
and having since it was received care
fully examined it, after mature con
sideration I am constrained to return
it herewith to the House of Represen
tatives In which it originated without
my signature and with my objections
to its passage.
Many of the appropriations in the
bill are clearly for the general welfare
and most beneficent iu their character
Two of the objects for which provision
is made were by me considered so
Important that I felt it my duty to
direct them to the attention of Con
gress. In my annual message in De
cember last I urged the vital impor
tance of legislation for the reclamation
of the marshes and for the establish
ment of the harbor lines along the
Potomac front. In April last, by
special message,! recommended an ap
propriation for the improvement of
the Mississippi River. It is not neces
sary that I say that when my signature
would make the bill appropriating for
these and other Valuable national ob
jects a law, it is with great reluctance
and only under a sense of duty that I
withhold it. My principal objection
to the bill Is that it con tains appropria
tions for purjKwes not for the common
defence or geueral welfare, and which
do not promote commerce among
the States. These provisions, on the
contrary, are entirely for the benefit of
the particular localities in which it Is
proposed to make the improvements
I regard such appropriation of the
public money as beyond the power
given the Constitution to Congress
and the President. I feel the more
bound to withhold my signature from
the bill because of the peculiar evils
which manifestly result from this iu
fraction of the Constitution. Appro
priations of this nature, to be devoted
purely to local objects, tend to an in
crease Id b umber and-in'aruount- A
-he cltlaoBs of one State find that
moneyto raise which they in com
mon with the whole country are taxed
is to "be expended for local improve
ments in another State, they demand
slrullar benefits for thOfLselves, and It
is not unnatural that they should seek
to indemnify themselves for such use
of the public funds by securing appro
priations for similar Improvements in
their own neighborhood. Thus, as the
bill becomes more objectionable, It
secures more support. This result is
invariable, and necessarily follows a
neglect to observe the constitutional
limitations Imposed upon th law
making power.
The appropriations for river and
harbor Improvement have, iuder the
influences to which I have alluded,
Increased year by year outof proportion
to the progress of the country, great as
that has been. In 1870 the aggregate
appropriation was '$8,975,900 in 1875,
$8,648,617,60; in 1880, $8,976,500; andln
1881, $11,451,300; while by the present
act there is appropriated $18,713,875,
While feeling every -disposition to
leave to the Legislature the responsl
bility of determining what amount
should be appropriated for the pur
poses or the bill, so long as the appro
priations are confined to objects indi
cated, by the grant of power I cannot
escape the conclusion that, -as a partof
the law-making power of the Govern
ment, the duty devolves upon me to
withhold my signature from the bill
containing 'appropriations which iu
my opinion, greatly exceed In arhouht
the needs of the country for the
present fiscal year. It being the usage
to provide money for these purposes
by annual appropriation bills, the
President is in effect directed to ex
pend so large amount of mrriiey with
in so brief a period that the expend!
ture cannot be made economically aud
advantageously.
The extravagant expenditure of
public money Is an evil uot to be
measured by the value of that money
to the people who are taxed for it.
They sustain a great Injury In the de
moralizing effect produced upon those
who are intrusted With official duty
through all the ramifications of govern
meut.
These objects could be removed, and
every constitutional purpose readily
obtained, should Congress enact that
one-half of the aggregate amount pro
vided for in the bill be appropriated
for expenditure during the fiscal year,
and that the sum so appropriated be
expended only for such objects named
iu the bill as the Secretary of War un
der the direction of the President,
shall determine, provided that in no
case shall the expenditure for any one
purpose exceed the sum now designa
ted by the bill for that purpose.
I feel authorized to make this sug
gestion because of the duty imposed
upon the President by theConstitution
to recommend to the consideration of
Congress such measures as he shall
judge necessary and expedient, and be
cause it is my earnest desire that the
public works which are in progress
shall suffer no injury. Congress will
also convene again in four months,
when this whole subject will be open
for their consideration.
Chester A Arthur.
Executive Mansion, Aug. 1, 1882.
There has been a long discussion in
the Cabinet about it, and the message
was uot sent to the House uutil quite
late. Members had been expecting
a message of some sort all day, aud us
the time passed and none came those
who were despondent plucked up
hope. The humorous Horr, who has
bieu lu the dumps for three days over
the prospect, began to hope that the
President would sign the bill. He
thought that if there were to be a veto
it would have been sent to the House
early to-day. The big Chairman of the
Commerce Committee of the House,
Page of Califoruia,oscillated nervously
between the Senate aud House. In
the Senate he held lougaud whispered
consultations with the anxious Mc
Millan, Chairman of the Senate Com
merce Committee.
The President hud kept them all
absolutely in the dark respecting his
intention. Oue member who had
talked with Gen. Arthur was certaiu
from a Presidential look that the bill
would be signed, while another would
come away cast dowu with apprehen
sion. Members discussed the proba
bilities iu groups lu the cloak rooms,
aud all admitted that the President's
designs were a mystery. At last about
4 o'clock, Page Came into the Hous-e
aud sat down gloomily aftd petulantly
in his seat. His manner was sufficient.
Members did not have need of asking
him what the matter was. Nor did
he feel disposed to talk. The cause of
this gloom was a telephouic message
from the other eud of the avenue, to
the effect that the Cabinet had quitted
the White House, aud that a veto
message was ou its way to the Capitol.
What was done at the session of the
Cabinet to-day is.of course.not known
in detail, but it is understood that the
President . informed his advisers as
soon as they met that be bad decided
to veto the bill unless he should,
during the session of the Cabinet,
learn some reason that would be suf
ficient to cause him to alter his mind
He suid that b had beeu listening to
theexpluualionsof members for seveial
days, and' while be recognized the
force of many of their objections to a
veto, still he hud heard nothing which
led him to believe that it was not his
duty to veto the bill. The consulta
tion 1b the Cu bluet wus largely re
specting the form that the uwssage
ought to take, and Mr. Freliugbuyseu
submitted a draft on one, which, with
some modifications, was that which
was sent to the House.
When the message reached the House
Clerk McPerson thought it was of
importance enough to read himself, a
duty be seldom performs II read it
though with tome . rhetorical effect,
which was partially marred by his
evident desire to see what was coming
next. Wheu the passage was reached
in which it is asserted that the more
objectionable a message . is the more
popular it seems to be, liiembers threw
bitck their heads aud laughed.
The effect of the message as a whole
on the members was rather queer.
Their disappointment eee'nied for a
time to be shadowed by their astonish
ment. They seemed to be surprised
at t he tone of the message, and when
some of them were asked to explain
such .peculiar reception they said that
they thought that the tone of the mes
sage was not at al complimentary to the
members of the House. Sonfeof them
used stronger terms. More than half
were very sorry, and a considerable
proportion were also yery angry
Wheu Mr. McPerson finished reading,
nobody made any move for a moment
or two. Then they silently adjourned.
But if adjournment was silent, pro
ceediugs afterwards wete not. There
was a little excited talk. Some
members went so fur as to say that
the President had no right to veto an
appropriation bill. Others said that
a veto would work great damage to
the Republican party. But the
members of the Commerce Committee
who had spent mouths preparing the
bill, and had steered it through shoals
and rocks of such a turbulent parlia
mentary eu ns the House, were the
saddest set of men seen in the House
for some lime. At last oue of them
struck his list violently on his desk
and used words which seemed to give
the others some slight relief, for they
at once began to talk about what would
b'e best to do. ' Some members were for
attempting to rush the bill through the
House over the veto. Then t here was
a rapid estimate taken of the number
and character of members who have
Hot deserted Congress, and it was soon
seen Unit such a step would fail to-day
if attempted.
While the bill was pending in th e
House Gen. Arthur made himself an
examination into many of the items,
aud he informed a Senator that he
early became satisfied that money was
being appropriated . for which the
Government ..would never get any
good. It was his intention to veto the
bill unless some", way ttoilld be pro
vided by which he could indirectly
veto the items that were objectionable
to him. He, however, came to the
conclusion that the bill ought cither to
be vetoed or signed, and if vetoed,
then perhaps by some supplementary
legislation could be had by which the
important aud proper appropriations
could be made. This ii the view he
has taken iu his mestage;
From the Associate Preit.
Washington, Aug. 1. A meeting of
the House Committee on Commerce
wus held to-uight, at which the mes
sage of the Presideut vetoing the
River and Harbor bill was the topic
of discus&ion. Members are veiy
recent as to the result of the meeting,
but enough has beeu gathered to war
rant the statement that the sentiment
of the members was decidedly iu favor
of recommending the message of the
vetoed bill notwithstanding the dis
approval. A member of Congress who is
thoroughly familiar with the pro
ceedings of the meeting goes so far as
to say that there will be no attempt
made to draft another bill, and that
unless the original bill be passed by a
two-thirds vote in both Houses no ap
propriations will be made for rivers
aud harbors during the present session.
From another equally trusted source it
is ascertained that the committee has
practically and unanimously agreed
to report a resolution to the House to
morrow recommending the passage of
the bill over the veto. Another meet
ing of tlie committee has beeu called
for to-morrow morning, wheu,
members say, the subject will lie
further considered aud a deutiuite
plan of actiou formally determined.
There is much speculation to-uight
concerning the chances of success, ol
theuttempt, which will doubtless be
made to-morruw to pass the River and
Harbor bill over the veto. The origi
nal bill passed the House ou 17th of
June by a vote of 119 to 47, and was
the Seuate July U by 89 to 23, with
leu Seuators paired on the question of
iti passage. Thecoufereiicecommittee's
report embodying the bill in its
present form was finally agreed to in
the House on the 26tb ult., 112 to 182,
with 9j members recorded as "uot
voting." The conference report was
adopted by the Senate ou the previous
day by a viva voce vote.
It is argued by the friends of the bill
that the vote iu the House on its
original passage more fairly Indicates
fts actual strength tbau does the vote
ou the adoption of the conference re
port, which they assert was opposed
by some members simply iu the hope
that ariefher coiifereuce committee
would do better for their respective
districts. The votes of these men are
confidently claimed in aid of the at
tempt to puss it over the veto.
It ulso asserted that a much larger
proportion of the opponent of the bill
than of its pronounced friends have
left this city, not to return during- the
session.
The yea and nay Vote being' taken
in the House to-day ou the references
of the adjournment - resolution, dis
closed the presence of only 167
members, or just one more than the
total vote recorded on the erlglnul
passageof the River aud Harbor bill.
Since the death of Representative
Hawk, aud the unseating of Repre
sentative Shelly, a quorum consists of
146 members. On the basis of the total
number of members present and voting
to-day, 112 affirmative responses will
be required to-morrow in order to pass
the bill over the veto in the House,
and unless it obtains a two-thirds
majoretyln that body it cannot be
made the subject of a vote in the
Rebate. If the vetoed bill reaches the
Sentrtea change of 8 Votes from the
recorded 23, which were cast against
Its GtMgt nal passage, would be suffici
ent to make it a law.
The Job Put Through.
From the Philadelphia Press.
The action of Congress on the River
and Harbor bill yesterday is an apt
illustration V)f the President's observa
tion that the more objectionable such
a bill the stronger is its support. The
vetoed bill was the most extravagant
and indefensible of any River and
Harbor bill passed by Congrss, and it
is, perhaps, the first one that could
have rallied sufficient votes to over
come an Executive veto. The bill
was originally passed in the House by
HO yeas to 1 uays. It yesterday re
ceived 122 yeas to 60 nays, In the
Senate the original was 38 yeas to 23
nays : yesterday it was 41 .yeas to 16
nays.
As far as parties are concerned,
neither can reproach the other with
the responsibility for the glgautic
jobbery. In the Senate the affirma
tive was seventeen Republicans and
twenty-four Democrats; the uegative
was twelve Republicans, three De
mocrats, at id the Independent
member from Illinois. In the House
parlTea were Very nearly evenly bal
uuced hi the vote, pro and con. The
responsibility auacnes to C'ongreua as
against the Executive and against the
people. It is one of a number of recent
instances wherein Congressmen have
neither represented the popular will
nor respected it. The local improve
ments, whteh make up half the items
of the bill, ure clearly unconstitutional,
and if there is any demand for one
half of them, aside from the Congress'
meu and the contractors, who hope to
pocket the money for themselves, that
demand bus tailed to make itself
heard.
The President did his duty In Veto
ing the bill, and his action at once
nlet with flu endorsement from the
pressof the country, heartily, emphatic
and almost universal. His lucid ex
position of the viciods features of the
bill has intensified the popular con
victiou of its impropriety. He has
stated that it is Impossible for him to
expend within the year so large a sum
of money economically and udvauta
geously. He further declares his con
viction that the purely local grant
have no warrant iu the Constitution
While he feels that It Is Incumben
upon til in to expend all the money
appropriated by Congress forlegilmutt
objects, even though the amount
is
excessive, it is a matter for grave con
sideratioti wheather it may uot be his
duty to withhold the purely local
grants altogether. If Congress has n
right to vote the money the Presidcu
has as little right to expend it. If the
former disregards the Constitution
the President is in no degree relieved
from his sworn obligations to look t
that instrument for hi authority to
act. It may be, therefore, that Presi
dent Arthur will yet be able to pro
tectthe Treasury from the full force o.
the raid which a reckless and ex
travagant majority in Congress have
conspired to make upon it to promote
their own personal and private ends.
