refusing to act, or if such death occurs during the legis-
lative recess and more than 10 days before its termina-
tion, it shall be the duty of the Governor to issue a war-
rant of election to supply the vacancy thus created in the
same manner the said Speaker or President might have
done during the session of the General Assembly; pro-
vided, however, that unless a meeting of the General As-
sembly may intervene, the election thus ordered to fill
such vacancy shall be held on the day of the ensuing elec-
tion for Delegates and Senators.
Sec. 10. The General Assembly shall meet on the first
Wednesday of January, 1868, and on the same day in
every second year thereafter, and at no other time, unless
convened by proclamation of the Governor.
Sec. 11. The General Assembly may continue its ses-
sion so long as in its judgment the public interest may
require, for a period not longer than ninety days, and
each member thereof shall receive a compensation of five
dollars per diem for every day he shall attend the ses-
sion, but not for such days as he may be absent, unless
absent on account of sickness, or by leave of the house
of which he is a member; and he shall also receive such
mileage as may be allowed by law, not exceeding twenty
cents per mile; and the presiding officer of each house
shall receive an additional compensation of three dollars
per day. When the General Assembly shall be convened
by proclamation of the Governor, the session shall not
continue longer than thirty days; and in such case the
compensation shall be the same as herein prescribed.
Sec. 12. No book or other printed matter not apper-
taining to the business of the session shall be purchased
or subscribed for, for the use of the members of the Gen-
eral Assembly, or be distributed among them at the public
expense.
Sec. 13. No Senator or Delegate, after qualifying as
such, notwithstanding he may thereafter resign, shall,
during the whole period of time for which he was elected,
be eligible to any office which shall have been created, or
the salary or profits of which shall have been increased
during such term; or shall during said whole period of
time be appointed by the Executive or General Assembly
