The COnscript Law.

The principal provisions of the new law
may be summed up thus: All male per-
sons between twenty and forty five. excep
ting idiots and those convicted Of crime. ire
to be enrolled. and subject to draft. by order
of the President. the supporters of widowed
mothers, or the fathers Of small motherless
children, are exempt, If drafted. All other
persons drafted can be released from draft
by paying three hundred dollars. or less.
if the War Department shall decide on
smaller sum.
The Provost Marshals. who are to be ap-
pointed to enforce the conscription, may ar
rest, without warrant. all persons charged
with reasonable practices; but such persOns
must be turned over Immediately to the CIV
il authorities for trial on those charges
The other provisions of the bill relate to
courts. martial, consolidation of reduced
regiments, &c, OF no genera! interest a:
large.
The bill makes ra iical change in the
system of drafting soldiers for the defense
Of the Government. Heretofore the national
Government called upon each State for its
quota, and each State Government opera.
ted in its own way in filling up the requisi-
ton. The experiences of last summer ex-
posed most fully the inefficiency of that
system. Several States have not yet furn-
ished their quota. nor under the old system,
could they be compelled to do it. The pres
ent law is based upon the principle that the
Government is entitled to the services of ev.
cry citizen capable of bearing arms, and
provides for their being called into the ser
vice. under national authority, as circum-
stances may require.
State authority and State Militia laws are
entirely ignored, as they ought to be. The
Law orders an enlistment Of all citizens be-
tween 20 and As. That has already been
done. and the lists are at the service Of the
OF the Provost Marshals. AS soon as the
Marshals are appointed. the President will
order conscription. Each State aud coun-
ty will have its quota assigned it as here
tofore. and this quota will be drawn from
those between the ages of 2D and IS. A
second conscription, should one be ordered.
will be conducted in like manner, except
that should there not be enough in a dis.
'rios under 35 to fill the quota, the de6cien-
cy will be made up from those between the
ages of 35 and As
