The Draft In New York

The journal Of Commerce in speaking of
the draft in that city on Wednesday. saws
that from the beginning to the end of tile
performance there was not the frs, symptom
of disorder either in the street or the build
ing. A meeting CT Quakers could not have
been more sedate and decorous Both fore.
noon and afternoon business was going inst
as usual all along Sixth avenue; everybody
took it for granted that there would be no
trouble.
While the Tremendous preparations, civil
and military, far making short work of
mobs, have done much towards bringing
about this, halcyon state of things, the chief
credit Is undoubtedly due to the proc'ama-
ton OF Governor Seymour. kindly but firm
ly reasoning with the excited portion of our
citizens. and assuring them that he, equally
with the FEDERAL authorities, was interested
IN preserving the peace. and was determined
to maintain the law. at all hazards.

Money Wanted Rather than
Men.

1t is curious circumstance that the pro
vost mafshals in Massachusetts discouraged
the hiring of substitutes. and used their in
huence with the conscripts TO induce them
pay the $500 exemption fee instead. Thus.
IN the Springfield district there were less
than dozen substitutes procured out of
over thousand conscrip;s drawn. Iudeed.
the board in that district forced the con,
scripts to pay the money rather than procure
substitutes, as will be seen by the following
extract from letter in the Republican
There are but very few substitutes re-
ported IN the district, not a dozen out of a
whole thousand examined, and the reason is
that 1t has been almost impossible to get the
attention of the board to their examination
or acceptance. AT least twenty cases have
come under my knowledge where men have
been anxious to furnish substitutes, but
when they reported with them on the day
assigned, they were told that the board had
no time to attend to them, and they had
better pay their $500

The One Thing Necessary.

1t must be remembered, that the ex-
Penses of publishing q newspaper are very
great. The high prices of paper and other
printing materials, for the last year, have
rendered the business one in which the
publisher is required to use the strictest
economy in order 10 make his sends
meet" While nearly all the publishers
throughout the State have raised their
prices, both IN advertising and subscrip-
ton, in order to meet the fluctuations in
the rates of printing materials. we have
endeayored to furnish. the DEMOCRAT AND
SENTINEL at the old rates. We do not
complain Of this, nor do we intend to in
crease our prices. unless compelled TO do
so: but we make an earnest appeal TO our
patrons, some Of whom are indebted TO
US over two years, to pay gp. Although
each ones indebtedness may not seem
much. yet these little accounts in the ao
gregate, must at least, be equal TO orr
expenses, We shall increase our eneroias
10 make the DElIoCnAr AND SENTINEL y
welcome visitor and reliable newspaper
but IN order 20 detray the heavy expenses
OF publication, we must insist upon our
subscribers paying off their arrearaccs.
The coming Court, will afford an excel
lent opportunity; and we sincerely hope
that our debtors, as it Is the first time we
have dunncd them, will not spurn our
just and modest appeal, We do not think
1t necessary to say any more on this sub
ject +; but hope that our subscribers who
we know are honest and intelligent men.
who appreciate our efforts, will meet our
expectations.
Of course this article is not intended for
all our readers, many of whom have paid
us IN advance. 1t was chiefly to This
support, together with the increasing pa
tronaSe OF the paper, that we were ena-
bied to overcome the vicissitudes Of the
past two years Being encouraged by
their support, and endorsed in our course
We feel grateful. and shall lend anew our
energies in the future. Il shall ever be
our highest aim to speak the honest senti-
ments and advance the interests of a free
people; and we hope long to enjoy the
confidence which has been bestowed upon
Us by tie noble Democracy of Little

:. Sustain the Administrations, ,,

A number of our extremely sloyal !"
citizens were drawn from the fatal wheel
of destiny, in the late draft. These men
have been denouncing Democrats as trail
tors and disloyal men, and have inces-
sanity cried out " sustain the President"
Now let them act upon the suggestion of
their own demands-let them show their
undying patriotism to the old ':rail split
ter" not in words but in acts-let them
cease their vociferations against Demo
Gratis and shoulder the musket at once, or
forever hold their peace and acknowledge
their insincerity ard their cowardice

The $500 Clause.

There has been So many orders and
decisions upon the conscription act, that
it is hard for an ordinary man to deter
mine the meaning of the law. We every
day hear arguments and different opinions
upon this or that clause of that hateful
act. We, however, state for those most
particularly interested, that it has finally
been decided that a drafted man paying
three hundred dollars, the equivalent for
substitute, is exempt for three years or
during the term for which he is con-
scripted

SPELLING NAMES. -Orthography is one
of the four important branches of gram
mar, and relates to the spelling of words ;
but as there are no fixed rules for spelling
mems names, they could hardly be con-
sidered under that head vet in enrolling
and drafting men, wherein their happiness,
their property and their lives are in ieopar-
dy, it is presumed that their names would
at least be spelled, SO as to convey the
sound. We were, several times, since our
issue gibcd for the awkward way in which
the drafted mems names were spelled IN
our published list We were well aware
of this fact, but did not consider it our
duty to make any corrections in what was
not our business. We published the
names as they were literary spelled, in
precisely the same order they were drawn
1t is not our business to determine whether
one of those jaw-breakers," means this
individual or that other man. That is a
discrimination discretionary with the un-
derstrappers who serve those death-war-
rants upon the people.
