Our reporter yesterday paid visit to the

city, aud vas shown the manner in which tha
ttnal lists Of enrolment, from which the draft
Is to be made, are prepared Cant; Erharit
las By tar the hrEest district In this. city
nearly $1,000 names, comprising the residents
Of Tie Firet, Second. Third, Fourth, Fifth,
Sixth and Eigth Wards, have been enroiied'
Few persons have any idea of the amount Of
1a6or required to complete in correct man
uer the work Of the enrolling officers. Manv
mistakes must necessarily occur in the orig-
tnal sheets, from the fact that q great deaf Of
the Information furnished them was through
PARTIES others than those enrolled About
forty cDgrossers-intelljgcnt clerkly. .Iookinr
msh-are engaged, beside half dozen out.
bne. Ihe outside men are kept constantly
making inquiries concerning PARTIES whose
MINES appear on the enrolment sheets, and
q whose residence there ia the least. doubt.
Immense piles Of blank sheets of Cnsaes /
atd =, Furnished from the Government print
11S office at WaEhington,. are covered each
osy. Each sheet contain. 20 names. The tirst
transfer the eng1osser5 make is from the orig
inal enrolment sheets to the consolidated
sheets. In consolidating, the names In each |
Ward are arranged alph aoetically: each sheet
"checkers," who with the aid of map and
street directory Of each: Ward before them,
mark with red figure the number of. the
Ward In which the persons enrolled reside.
: The next process is condensing, or taking
two or more fractional shsets of each letter |
fractional sheet of each letter OF Ward ap-
ptars In this copy. This copy is then dupfi- |
Gated, the different letters from 4 to z In

!he first copy with red and In the second with |
black Ink. In these copies the place Of busi- |
us residence appears on the sheets. These |
tHo copies are then given out In Wards-two |
men working In each Ward-whose business
tits to carefully examine, and in the first |
place see TINT the sheets numbered in black

ter for inquiry. When tho same name is
found on the sheets a second time, the sec.
ond entry is ruled ont. When this is nil gone
through, the final copy is produced. During
the diftrent stages the work is watched over
BY superintendent, who is held strictly re-
sronsible for the least mistake Of any Of the
chgrossers. As M evidence Of the strictness
with which Capt. Erhardt requires the work
to be done, we copy the following placard
which is posted consplcuouslyin in the oft1ce:
