No public officer, or deputy, assistant or employee of such officer, other than a notary public, justice of the peace or constable, shall ever be permitted to collect and retain any fee on any pretense; but all public officers, their deputies, assistants and employees, to whom compensation is allowed, shall receive fixed salaries, and shall account for and pay over all fees collected by them to the legal custodians of such funds.

Section 3. Members of the legislature shall receive annual salaries, Senators $600, and Representatives $500, and their actual traveling expenses in going to and returning from the Capital once for every regular and once for every extraordinary session; but they shall not receive any such expenses when attending a session appointed by themselves, and they shall not receive any other sum on any account.
