a member of the 'Senate at the time
of the passage of that bill but he vot
d for it, and was one of its most ac
tiva supporters.
In the opinion of same Senators
whose attention has been called to this
matter tho Constitutional provision
works aa absolute bar to the .appoint
ment of Knox during the "time for
which he was? fleeted" Senator.
That bar could, it is said, be remov
ed by Congress reducing the salary j
to what it was before it was increased
by the Congress of which he was a
member at the time, the former salary
to remain in force until the time for
which he had been elected Senator
expires. If the disability can be re
moved in this way Knox will have to
serve as Secretary of State for two
years at a salary of $8,000. It was for
the purpose of removing this disquali
fication that the resolution reducing
the salary was introduced in the Sen
ate. As there was no opposition to
Knox's appointment this resolution
will, no doubt be rushed through Con
gress, if the lawyers of that body de
cide that it will remove the bar which
aow exists.
Several Senators declined to express
an opinion on the subject, saying they
wanted further time to examine the
question. One of them remarked that
in case such examination confirmed
his first impression of the unconsti
tutionality of the appointment he cer
tainly would oppose confirmation; that
it "would be a terrible thing to make
such an appointment;" that the "pros-

SEAWELL'S NOWTATION PIGEONHOLED.
It looks like the Seuate Judiciary
Committe-3 has pigeon-holed Seawell's
nomination and that the Senate is not
going to call for it to be brought forth
from its hiding place . The sub-committee
which was appointed over a
week ago to consider this appointment
has never, held a meeting, and Senator
Overman, one of its members, says he
do-:s not know when it will do so.
Nothing can be done until that com
mittee passes on the nomination and
reports to the full emmittee and the
latter reports its conclusions to the
Senate. In the meantime National
Committeeman Duncan has been in
Washington again trying to hasten ac
tion by the Senate, and Judge Pritch
ard has writeri to. leading Republican
Senators urging immediate confirma
tion. Despite the urgent solicitations
of these two prominent Republicans,
it is the impression in Washington
that Seawell's nomination will not be
confirmed at this session and many
