The DRAFT in New York.
New York, July %

NeW i OK, July ".
Mayor Opdyke offers a reward of $500
for the apprehension and conviction OF any
person convicted of murder and arson du
ring the late riot
The Herald's Washington dispatch says
that all efforts to induce the Government
to suspend or avoid the draft in New York
are unaVailing. The conduct of the riot
ers there has rendered it, in the estimation
of the authorities. imperative!y necessary
that the draft shall be enforced. II, howH
ever, the quota should be filled with volnn-
teers, .he.e would be no occasion for the
draft. Under no other circumstances can
or will the draft be suspended.
The New York Tribune of the 10Th, has
the following remarks in relation to the
rioters and the draft.
There was no disturbance whatever on
Sunday night, and good order prevailed
throughout the entire city yesterday. The
hundreds of men who, by their own Volt
tion or compulsion, united with the mob,
resumed their aVocations yesterday, as on
the commencement of the week, and in no
quarter could we perceive any riotous
DEMONSTRATORS. The city, from one end
to the other, presented q scene of greater
business activity that we have witnessed
Sed freely through the streets, and were
not molested. The walters employed in
several of the down town restaurants took
their accustomed places, and were welcUm
ed back by many of their customers. The
ugly crowds have disappeared from the
street corners the burglars, footpads, and
pick pockets, we'll known to the police,
have, like the rats and owls, gone to their
dark recesses the rioters, incendiaries
and murderers are hiding away from the
authorities, and it is safe to appear abroad
IN any part of the city.
Coaches are running on all the lines of
trsvel, and no hindrances intercept the
traveller on the railroad or river conveyan
ceH, Now and then q manned and bleed
ing rioter crawls out of his den to seek a
safer retreat, but finds himself soon after
ward in the hands of some vigilant and
plucky police officer. Fires are few, be-
cause the incendiaries know that a special
and regular force of men watch vigilantly
for offenders, and there is little prospect
of escape for those who apply the torch at
times like the present.
The mob is cowed and whipped, and
sulks in the dark, without sympathy or
consolation. Arrests are being made con-
stantly. Stolen property found here and
there lis taken care of by the Property
Clerk, or returned to it's owners. Letters
are constantly coming in at the various
precincts, showing where goods and arms
that have been stolen are secreted and
the soldiers vie with the civil authorities,
with whom they heartily agree, in their
cfflrts to restore order and bring the often
defs to justic,.
At the proyosk Marshal GaDerops had
quarters in Leonard street, and at the uffi.
ces of the other Marshals, all was quiet,
and preparations were making to continue
the draft. There will be no change in the
manner Of drawing, bu. it will be conduct.
cd IN the same way as that in which it
was commenced and was being carried on
when the attack was made by the mob
upon the Offices Of Capt. Jenkins and Capt
MAnneire.
Our reporter yesterday paid visit to the
Provost MarShals of the several districts,
comprising the city of New York. The
different Offices presented the usual stir of
preparation. The drawing of names will
commence in some of the up~town districts
this week.
1t is stated that movement is on foot,
IN which Governor Seymour is joined by
several prominent citizens, to effect a re-
duction Of the quota Of troops called for
from this city. It appears that the appor-
tionment was made with the understand
ing that the city had not furnished the
numbers heretofore but Gov. Seymour
has now the figures which will show q DIFF
ferent state of facts. The question will
ibs definitely settled before the drafting is
resumed. ..-
