Tho ConsorIntIon Lew

The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle and Senti-
mel, of April 1s, publishes the conscrip.
ton act of the rebel Congress with the
following comments:
The veil Of secresy which has been
kept over the new CONSUMPTION law having
been removed, the people are at length
permitted to know the tenor of a measure
so vitality affecting them 1t is useless
to discuss the measure now for il has al
ready become alaW, but for what purpose
il has been hidden in darkness until now
and sprung upon the people when it is
too late 10 discuss il, we cannot perceive.
unless that members of Congress feared
responsibility. Certainly il could have
done no more good to the enemy to know
that such bill was on its passage than
10 know, as they do, that the bill has
passed. Are we never 10 be rad Of this
abOminablc secret legislation which
serves no purpose but 10 destroy the con-
fidenoe Of the people in their legislators?
The act will be found in another place.
We have had no time 10 examine its pro-
visions thoroughly, but aside from its
unconstitutional abrOgation Of State laws.
we do not think il will be found in prac-
tice any more oppressive than the pres
ent militia laws. lts greatest hardship
falls on troops in service for a short time,
who were soon TO be discharged, but will
now be retained. The probabilities are
however that If discharged they would
soon again be called into service.
