We are glad to see that the officers of
the Government are beginning to be
aroused to the necessity of executing the
laws of the land and indicating the au-
thority of the Government
For two years, an effort has been made
by mild means to persuade men to be
This lenieney has been abused, and
vast wrong and injury has been inflicted
upon the Government by men enjoying
It's protection, and protesting to be its
friends
1t is time change of measures was
-inaugurated, and we are glad to see evi-
dence that such change has taken
place. The arrests made in this city a
few days ago was an important step in
the right direction. By this we do not
mean to imply that the parties arrested
are guilty. They may be innocent, and
we hope they are, and may be able to
establish their innocency on trial But
we mean to say that the Government
should manifest a determination to exc
cute the laws of the land, and to punish
those who violate them and give aid and
comfort to the rebellion. That regular
system of smuggling across our borders
and beyond the lines of the army has
been going on ever since the war broke
out, no candid man viii deny. The evil
dences of that fact have met US at every
turn. Numbers of persons have been
detected in the act, and their goods con-
fscated
But that was not enough. The guilty
parties should have been arrested and
punished to the full extent of the law.
Leniency towards such persons has
been-the greatest possible injury to the
loyal and the law-abiding. We believe
and hope the policy is changed, and
that henceforth those who violate the
laws and endanger the liberties of our
country will be punished surely and
ceeded in breaking up, as he hopes, the
underground railroad of the contraband-
lists in Union county, Ky. Large guam.

These developments have created quite

occurred in the Committee of the City
Council on Fees and Salaries. One
member of the committee, confident
that his favorite ticket would be elected
and anxious to do his friends favor,
insisted that the salaries Of certain otfi-
GERS should be increased, to which, after
some opposition, the other members OF
the committee assented.H
So firmly was it settled in the mind OF
the generous councilmen that his friends
would hold the offices, that in drawing
up the report he substituted the names
of the candidates for the names OF the
Offices. The newly elected officers have
no objection to the new rates OF pay.

o answer numerous inquiries, and TO cor

notice is published TO all concerned:
l. Under the recent call Of the President,

have ceased TO be valid if the substitute ne
les than 15 years old. and j. not otherwise
exempt by law.
. Membership, whether an officer or pri-

or special service, confers no claim TO exemp-
ton from Confederate service: neither does
service in the militia, unless in case of officers
actually in commission, who have duly quail
fed
g. Hereafter, any one furnishing substi
tute will become liable in his own person when
ever the services Of the substitute are lost 10
the Government from any other cause than tn,
casualties Of war.
A. Application for exemption on any gr ound
whatever, must first be addressed to the local
enrolling officer, who, if he has not power to
act. or is in doubt, will refer them 10 the
higher authority with report Of the facts. All
such addressed direct to hig her author ty will
necessarily and invariably be referred back for
local examination and report; and the appli
cants will thus have uselessly lost time and
prolonged suspense.
Appeals against adverse decisions by local
officers, will be forwarded by them for hearing
when any plausible ground of appeal is set
forth.

notice extensive circulation in the local pape
