[50] This is an exact copy. The variations in that in the printed Journal are occasioned by its incorporation of subsequent amendments. This remark is applicable to other cases.--Madison's Note. The report was copied by the Secretary of the Convention, William Jackson, into the Journal, after it had been read. Afterwards two sentences were altered by interlining with lead pencil. The alterations (indicated by italics) are as follows: Paragraph 4, "The person having the greatest number of votes ... if such number be a majority of _the whole number_ of the electors _appointed_." Paragraph 7, "But no treaty, _except treaties of peace_, shall be made," etc. The changes in paragraph 4 are unimportant: the change in paragraph 7 was an amendment offered by Madison September 7th, and adopted.--Const. MSS.--_Journal of Federal Convention_, p. 323, _et seq._ (1.) The first clause of sect: 1. art. 7. to read as follows--'The Legislature shall have power to lay and collect taxes duties imposts & excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defence & general welfare of the U. S.' (2.) At the end of the 2^d clause of sect. 1. art. 7. add 'and with the Indian tribes.' (3.) In the place of the 9^{th} art. Sect. 1. to be inserted 'The Senate of the U. S. shall have power to try all impeachments; but no person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two thirds of the members present.'
