We take the following from the Chicago
Daily Post. Democratic war Joarnal Of
! Feb. rs.
\ The allegation of the Peoria Mail, til at
the CONSUMPTION law compels OILY poo.
men to enter the army, is ridiculous. 1t
will be seen by reading the clause in rsa
ton to subs flutes. that the fine provided
for exemption is not fixed at any particular
sum. but it shall not exceed three hundred
dollars. the drafted man is allow ed to
procure his own substitute, at any price he
may agree upon, or, if he prefers the Gov.
eminent will provide for him st price not
to exceed $500. Did not the law contain
this limitation, the Pfice OF substitutes would
in all probability, range much higher than
$500. The rich. being able to pay, the
poor would be unable to pay the price to
which overbidding would raise the substi-
tu,e market. Thus, instead OF being an
oppressive provision. the $500 restriction
IS actually for the benefit of the poorer
classes.
The provisions under which the Govern,
ment undertakes 10 furnish substitutes for a
sum not 20 exceed $500 is 10 fact one OF the
best features OF the bill. 1t is borrowed
from the French system, the most perfect
iD detail and most equitable in operation OF
any 10 the word. But in France the fine
for exemption is considerable higher than
that which is named as the maximum in the
bill winch has passed our Congress.
This bill may not be the bes that could
have been devised !; but the system is the
correct enc, and also the Democratic one.
l: ought to have been adopted at the begin
ming of the war. towards would have had
to take their chances with brave men, and
it is quite probable. indeed. that some of the
former would at this time be serving the
country in the ranks Of the army. instead Of
trying. they now seem to be, to escape
such service by exciting opposition and re-
slstance TO the law.
There is another clause in the act which
may be OF interest to such persons. II they
are too coward!y to fight and too mean to
pay, they can avoid both by committing
some act which will send them to the pen
ien,iary aplace which may suit them land

A committee of citizens from the North.

sutation with Governor Morton, suggest
ed the propriety of getting up o great
State Fair. after the plan Of that recently
held with such success in Chicago. for the
purpose of raising money for the soldiers
families. in this State. The idea has been
frequently suggested since the Chicago
demonstration was set on foot. and no
doubt great deal of good could be done
in this way, but the Governor advised the
and the raising and distribution of money
by local rather than State demonstrations,
and for local rather than State purposes.
Whatever could be spared from local uses
might be given to general fund. or to the
Sanitary Commission, but llcal exertion
for local benefit was. in the Governors
view. the surer and better mode of work
ing. We are confident the people will
agree with him. More money can be rais-
ed with less expense, and distributed with
greater certainty of its accomplishing its
full sum of good, and with less loss, by
county and local efforts than by any grand
general display. which will excite great
deal of curiosity and cost great deal Of
money. There is no need of the money
coming all the way to the capitol to buy
asisht at series OF tsbleaux or collec-
tion of donations. and then travelling all
the way back to the poor who need it. and
losing something both in coming and GO
