original bill, authorizing tho President, in case
OF neglect or refusal of the Governors of the
States to execute the provisions Of the law. 10
call directly OH the militia officers of the State to
carry them into effect"
Ihe same questions Of constitutiODnty which
are now the subject of controversy between the
GENERAL Government aud the Governors of some
OF the States, were fercely 0gtnttd during the
war OF 1917. 1t was held By the Governor Of
Connecticut that the militia could not be called
out upon the requisition of the General Govern
mentJ except in case of actual invasion, and that
when called into the field they could not be taken
from under the command of officers appointed by
the States, or placed under the immediate orders
OF an officer Of the United States army. This
VIII be recognized at once as precisely the posi-
tlon occupied by the Coppcrheads Of to-day, who,
III their zeal to weaken the nrin OF the Govern
lnent, and thus insure the success of the rebel.
lion, are not ashamed to procure their weapons
by breaking into the armOry of the old Hartford
Convention. 1t was also held by the Governor
OF Connecticut that the private soldiers could not
bo legally detached from the bodies TO which
they belonged when callel into the service These
absurd claims, which, it allowed, would have
destroyed the military power Of the country, re-
ceved the sanction Of the Council and Legislature
of the State. In Massachusetts the Judges Of
the Supreme Court declared that the power of
deciding whether the exigency existed which
would justify the Government IN calling our tho
militia belonged exclusively to the State
The President in his Message to Congress of
November q, 1872, strongly dissentcd from these
decisions. aud declared that If sustained they
would etlectually cripple the United States AZ n
military power. The question was finally decd-
cd in S27 by tho Supreme Court of the United
States, which hela that it belonged exclusively
to the President TO judge when the cxgency
exists which would justify calling out the mihta.
And this down to the present war, was also the
opinion of the Democratic party, which as late
as last summer was nearly unanimous in urging
the authorities at Washington to draft, aud in
denouncing the system Of volunteering as too ex-
pensive aud too slow for the cxigency of the
time They followed ihe lead of Washington,
Madison, Monroe, and all the most distinguished
statesmen of their party iu upholding the con-
stiluionaliiy and the expedieucy of draft If
it was constitutional last summer, how can il be
unconstitutional now? If it was expedient then,
why is it not IL thousand fold more expcdient
now, at a time when the Union ranks are being
tninned By the return home of 50 many regiments
whose term of service has expired? 1t requires
but little observation to see that the opposition
to the draft does not arise from principle, hut
that il is instigated by sympathy with the rebel
lion, and fixed purpose to render the war un.
popular among the people.--Sunday Dispdtch

george Washington himself, in 1880. The bill
was M more severe than tho later one prepared by
uuuroe' or even the present law. He proposed
make all free malO inhabitants between the
Yes OF eighteen aud sixty, liable to service ex-
VP' actual mariners, and those exempted by the
nTs u', OF the respective States. All who were

casses viz:
~ All between eighteen and twenty-one.

s'vessary to raise men for an army, they wero

hs .,hs as regulars, and the liberty of procuring
osS, D,'.'ues was guarded against abuse by strin-
sas sLa, equations. Persons belonging to the third
ss' were TO be called into active service only in
''I's oi actual invasion or rebellion.
m % ,atn auul'lon to these regulations, Washington,
~ "1ose patriotism tine shadow of doubt never
