DOdging the Draft.

The Cincinnati papers givesome anus
ing scenes as occurring at the Commits
sioner's Court to examine into cases de-
handing exemptionfrom military service.
The Cincinnati Gazette is responsible for
the following:
Dozens of stalwart natives of Germany
and Ireland marhced one after another up
to the stand with the meek look of mingled
hope and fear, and answer question after
question by which they utterly ignore the
land to which they came to escape from
the despotisms of the old world. They all
seem to have great desire to prove that
they don't belong here, never did belong
here, and never intended to belong here.
This, we suppose, is the class of people
who don't want country or Government
they can call their own. Some who have
lived in the country twenty years swear
that they have never voted Many are
not able to tell the ward they live in or
the street they reside on, and nearly all
become so nervous over the business as
to get the cart before the horse in many
instances. One man in whom the Mile
sian look and brogue were very strong
ly developed, persisted yesterday in say
ing that he came from France and could
not speak English only French, and all
the while he was talking to the Notary in
