The chief duty Of the Commissioners viii be TO
make the final correction Of tho enrolment isis
Owing to the great care exercised by Gen. Anthon
TO prevent any person liable TO military duty from
escaping through neglect the part of the officers oil
the law or invalid excuses, an extraordinary large
enrolment was made-much greater, of course, than
there would have been lad there existed any means
of ascertaining who really exempt. The lists,
when completed will represent simply the arms
bearing population.
The applications for exemption down town yester'
day were not so numerous as might have been
expected probably because the fact that the Com
ns,;oners would sit was not very generally known.
At the Third Ward Station, which has been re-
moved from No. 70 Warren stree, TO No. 100 Cham
bers street, 81 applications were made aud ten were
exempted. In the Fourth Ward there were 90 az
nlicsuts asking TO be excused from the hazards Of
war In tho Sixth Ward, 60 applications were
made to the Commissioners, and about tie same
number applied in tie Fifth Ward. AT the Eighth
Ward Station, about 100 persons claimed to 10 ex-
empt, principally on the ground Of age. Physical
disability, non.oizenshiP aud age were Che grounds
On which exemptions were claimed.
At the Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth, and
Fourteenth Precinct Stalion-IIouses, the Commits
sionor, did not have to wait lsng 6r applicants.
The bulk Of the business WAS done in the forenoon
and the majority Of the applicants claimed to be
Aliens The others had various pleas FOR exemption,
such ss having served full term in the Fire De-
partuent, having been in tue service for three
months on the Potomac and elsewhere, since the
commencement OF tie Rebellion. Everything went
along smoothly, the applications having been
made in a respectful manner. and heard as respect
fully by the Commissioners.
ln the Fifteenth, Sixteenth, Seventeenth, and
Eighteenth Wards there wac no excitement what
ever that we could learn. Owing 10 the immediate
departure Of the Commissioners at the hour Of 4
o'clock, il was impossible 10 obtain any definite ao-
count Of the number exempted. AT each station
there " ere from iiiy to hundred applicants for
exemption during the day, most Of them on the
ground OF age, and few for physical disability.
The applicants were formed in line, and with anx-
ious counienanoes patiently awaited their turn. The
hnmbcr Of exemptions grnnied yesterday, in the
above wards, will no, probably exceed two hundred
and fifty.
In the Nineteenth, Twentieth, Twenty-frs, and
Twcnty-sec WARDS respectively, from fifty to one
hundred and fifty applications for exemption were
made. In tie Twenty second Ward Isaac Bel, jr.,
mad been appointed Commissioner, but bis duties rs
ope Of the COMMISSIONER Of Charities and Correction
prevented his acceptance Of the office. A. natural
consequence In the absence ofa successor, no bust
ucss was done beyond the filing Of applications. The
