urged by those who claim exemption from draft are
proceeding quietly and pleassatly with their task.
Thus far, with single exception, we lave not heard
of any expressions Of Dissatisfaction Ia the Fifth
Ward O young man about 80 years of age claimed
exemption on the ground that be had not lived long
enough ia any one place to become voter When
the Commissioner informed him that he could not bs
excused on such plea, he became excited and de-
clared he would not live in such country as this
bu, would take bis Departure for England Liz
earliest convenience. There were 65 applications
made at the Fifth Ward Station, and 60 applicants
were exempted.
10 tho Second Wsd there arc about 500 yot.n
onJ hence the applications for exemption come In
slowly-not more than 60 have been received durina
the past two days. OEs Of these claimed b. 10 ex-
empt because he suffered "That does not pre-
vent your firing straight" said the Commissions1.
Bat the Rebels would kill ne" said lie, af:as
stammerng long time. 4" if sheuld fsI into their
bands, because could not cry for qEartor." Mr..
Wetmore, the Commissioner excused him aft.Y
hunting up the authority, which reads as follows:

Teec ss tina, there % wound " the head to impair ths
faculties or cause eonyusons"
Over 100 applications have been made at the Fist
Ward Station, but the plan Of purifying the list
works admirably and all seem to be satisfied with
the discreet decisions of the Commissioners.
Thirty-ons persons were exempted yesterday "a
.he Sixth Ward sation.House, and 50 applications
were made for exemption. The best of order pre-
walls, and tAe Commissioner ends bis labor easy and
pleasant. In the Third Ward a large number Of
citizens from New-Jersey called upon the clerk 10
examine tho lat. They live in New-Jersey and do
bu,iness in the city, and were troubled with the idea
tia, they might have to run tie gauntlet Of two
drafts thus increasing their chances Of going to the
war.
A considerable number of persons are endeavorine
to eyade the draft by assuring the Commissions
that their names are recorded in tie Ward in which
they live, little DR. aiming that there is tell-tals
telegraph at the command of the Commissioners
which is sure 10 reveal their misrepresentation.
The Com missionsrs for Drafting in tie Tenth,
Eleventh, Twelfth Thirteenth and Foorteensh
Wards had more business to do yesterday. The APP
plicaats were more numerous. This WAS sccountoa
for in some measure by the fact that the Commits
sonsrs Of the Fire Department had. at their neane
on Monday evening, Issued large number Oh ex'
emyt certificates. large proportion Of the appli
csn,s at all the Staton-Houses wers aliens.
IN the Eighteenth Ward there were about l5e ap-
plcanis for exemption. MostN these were native.
born citizens, claiming release from the chances u
consumption on account of age or physical disability.
A csrlnan in Twenty-thiId street based his claim
upou double beat Of the heart A young NAN pre-
saptsd n clean, new card from one Of our medical
colleges which reolered on Monday and obtained
the eyssure OF his name on account thereof
In the Nineteenth Ward about che hundred appli-
cations were nado, there being very few aliens
among the number. Twenty-Five medical examine
tons were held In the Twentieth Ward there were
g large number of aliens among the loo applicants
About GO medical examinations were made. Very
few claimed exemption on sccoun. Of age. In the
Twenty first Ward, very superior class OF citizens
were in waiting to seeths Commissioner. The NUM-
her Of appcauts reached u.s. There not the lease
troubls or disturbance during the entire day. Mr..
A. s. Cohen temporarily acted rs commissioner II
