in the year eighteen hundred and eighty-seven, and every
twenty years thereafter, the sense of the people in regard to
calling a convention for altering this Constitution; and if a
majority of voters at such election or elections shall vote for a
convention, the General Assembly, at its next session, shall
provide by law for the assembling of such convention, and for
the election of Delegates thereto. Each county and Legisla-
tive District of the city of Baltimore shall have in such con-
vention a number of Delegates equal to its representation in
both Houses at the time at which the convention is called. But
any Constitution, or change, or amendment, of the existing
Constitution, which may be adopted by such convention, shall
be submitted to the voters of this State, and shall have no ef-
fect unless the same shall have been adopted by a majority of
the voters voting thereon.

ceived by him, or on his account, as a payment or compensa-
tion for his performance of official duties, a copy of which
entries in said book, verified by the oath of the officer by whom
it is directed to be kept, shall be returned yearly to the Comp-
troller of the State for his inspection, and that of the General
Assembly of the State, to which the Comptroller shall, at each
regular session thereof, make a report showing what officers
"have complied with this section; and each of the said officers,

the sum which he is by law entitled to retain as his salary or
compensation for the discharge of his duties, and for the ex-
penses of his office, shall yearly pay over to the Treasurer of

the State, the amount of such excess, subject to such disposi-
tion thereof as the General Assembly may direct; if any of
such officers shall fail to comply with the requisitions of this
section for the period of thirty days after the expiration of
each and every year of his office, and the Governor shall de-
