New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1863-08-10

scrintiou directs that in determining the quotas OF
men 70 be furnished BY each State, regard shall De
had to she number OF volunteers ana militia
by them respectively since the commencement of the
present rebellion, and that they shall be 30 assigned
as 10 eouaize the number among the districts OF the
several States, allowing for those already furnished
and for the time Of their service. / believe that
New York is the only Atlantic State, save Rhode
Island, which has furnished her full quota hereto
fore, and has also furnished surplus which entities
her 10 a credit upon the present draft. But tne
statement made at the office Of the Provost Marshal
General at Washington Of this credit does not agree
with that claimed at the office of the Adjutfbt Gen.
eral of this State do not doubt the mpariihlity OF
Colonel Fry; and believe that the differences OF
these statements can be reconciled II an
opportunity is given TO compare the records
OF the two offices. I ask that this may be
done. After careful examination am satlsheo
that the quotas now demand from the Congressionsi
Districts In New-York and Kings County are glar-
inply unjust. Either the names enrolled in these
districts greatly exceed the true numbers or fhe en-
rolments in other parts Of the State are grossly de
fcent. The practical injustice will be the same 10
either II regard IS had TO the number here.o
fore sent from the several districts the records Of our
State show that Newly rk and Brooklyn have iur-
nished more than their proportion. THESE RECORDS
were carefully kept under the administration OF 6oV
Morgan Ifthe quotas now fixed upon THESE cl'Iessre
proportion 10 the numbers enrolled they ener uou
lie wrong. for they do not get duo credit for the
rost and The onroinents ere excessive ~ compared
with other sections OF the State. | send you tables
which show these results and will also state here
a few facts: The quota for the Fourth Congressional
District with population of l3l SOL Is sSi. That
fixed uron the Fifteenth Congre ssonal District, with
apopuiation OF 1872 232 is only 3 26O The quota upon
tie las'-named district should exceed that OF the
city district for the returns shows that there
/. larger popu etiOn for females and OF aliens In
the CITY Of New.York than in toe country. III the
comparison 10 made by the number OF votes instead
81. l.. az hon ha
vote was very full, 1t will be that the call upon
the city district Is 5,SSl, upon q vote OF l2365,
while upOn the contrary district II rs only 2,xbO,
rpon a vote of %, los. In two adjoining districts IN
the CITY of Brooklyn, the discrepancies are equally
striking In that represented by Nlr. odeii, with
opnlation Of l32, 2i2, tho quote Is 2697. In the
adjoining district, represented by Mr.. kalbheich.
with population Of Isl 951, it Is 4, l46 Yet the
voters H. Mr. O1els district number IL, Al and III
that of Mr. KalbneIch, IL, 967. The draft, as al
present proposed will go through tie eastern por-
on Of the Stae comparatively less than one ihird OF
ia Congressional District more than One.haf Of tie
burdens Of The conception. THIS IL particularly
unjust towaId New Y ork and Brooklyn, for they
have not only furnished their free proportions mere
tofoIe, without counting me numbers they have
given 10 the navy Of the country, out they have
leen the recruiting grounds fOf Other states, and
