nSn.,,l Anbon the enro lueut of all persofA sno-
;.s 10 The draft is being pushed forward VIGOROUSLY
and the work promises 10 be re 80 thoroughly M
70 leave little esuse for complaint, sod to allow no
chance whatever for evasion. Daring the hn' par'
Of lac, week and the week previcns Gen. Ah'hoh
commenced the wmk by appointing enrolling oHcers
There were, of course, hundreds OF apphcah's LOT
She ro,,iops. but only those succeeded VINO were
men of good character and bore recommendations
sn,, the ,.nbers Of the Senatorial Nlpfs Com
rnr,,es aud other prominent citizens. Political APP
.l;ca,;ous wer. entirely ignored. Alter taking the
osb the enrolling officers were provided with the
nacss.srv hooks and s-nt forth 10 their work.
TIL. beadquarters Of the enrolling Office located
on the second floor Of the spacious building No. g.
Broadway, few doors below Wall street, where =
snaA army Of clerks are III presen, employed day
and night.
We give brief description Of the manner in which
NE work Is cououcIed;
FIRST comes the eurolling officers, of whom there
se upward vi 240--one for esch electoa district III
the city. Thee officers make record OF every per-
soo residing or doing business IN their dt're's-
.a@e age, occupation, condition, remarks. hecord
y also made OF upoccppied buildings. Twice day
sach officer 10 under orders ~ report to headqisrtrs
.Sscosd are the record and distributing clerks,
whose duties are TO receive she reprts from the en-
polhng officers, and copy all the names and neino'
ka,,dums IN appropriate books
7h.rd, The complaint department keeps four
mep busy from morning oniil night Ii Is the duty
tbe,e Ulcers to hear and make q record Of Ill
comphnts from clrizens or enrolling officers, aud If
soses~ary send them 10 the police.
,ha in ma
,mploys large number Of scriveners. They re.
eeve from the record and distributing clerks the va
rious books, and copy the same by Wards.
FiftA is the examining department, the clerks in
when compare io the most careful manner all ihe
books, erasing names whore they appear twice, and
making other important corrections
SIZE Is the special enrol ment police whose
duties we are no, at liberty 10 make public.
A privste room At the rear Of the building Is oc-
cnpiea by Judge Acknowledgement ADlhon, who
nperin,euds the entire work, sDd settles any
vexatous gu stions that may arise. He ia deter
uniped-and kno one who sees tho manner IN
which be attends 70 business can doubt ito
vigorously execute the duty assigned him with as
Ete yexation annoyance TO the public as pos
sble. A constant waIch bss to DO kept over the
enrolling officers, 10 that they do their duty with
out fear favor. As yet Only two have proved
srrclici--one took bribe for which lie has been
licked up aud the other went ~ place very late at
night and raised a great row aeous getting names.
Many attempts have been made 10 deceive and mis-
iead ,be enrolling officers, bat they cannot fail 70 be
exposed, and when brought to hgbt the guilty par
ties will he punished. The conception law not
oolv provides for the enrolment of able-bodied
citizens hut il provides also severe puni-bment for
those seeking 20 AVOID the draft themselves or t.
shield others Several receptions have been ex.
. sed. The bookkeeper of leading gas company

hi of names Of the emplo, e-s, but gave a number
4 fictitious addresses. He WIS arrested and held
Sr examination. Several persons have been appre-
pended for refusing to sLs~er the ocer but short
