IT is reported that Senator Wilson
thinks, now that the exemption fee should
have been $500 instead of $500. When
he was accused of favoring the latter sum,
he Indignantly denied it, and, referring to
the act, which said it was not to exceed
S30S, said himself, it would probably be
as low as fifty or one hundred dollars.
Now that it is fixed at the highest sum;
why does he think it ought to be still
higher? Are more poor men able to
scrape $500 together than he thought
possible?

THE Galena (Ill.) Advertiser settles
the vexed question as to General Grants
political status While in the army he
never voted, but after he settled in Galena
he declared himself democrat, and voted
in 1860 for Stephan A. Douglas for Pres
ident. 1t should be understood that it
requires good deal of moral courage In
a business man to acknowledge himself a
Democrat IN Northern Illinois. That
section of country is more intensity and
bigotedly abolition than even Massachu-
setts or the Western Reserve. Gen. Grant
does not trouble himself much about
political organizations. His business is
to obey orders and win all the battles he
can. He has had the good sense not to
write political letters or interfere in any
way with the newspapers. We wish for
his own sake, that Gen. Rosecran's record
were as creditable in this respect.

July SOth;
One is left to conjecture regards the future move

to enforce the draft doubtless s then is not pro-
bable that its armies will undertake any offensive move
ment broad scale for some weeks 10 come, unless
be in Tennessee. The draft cannot be enforced with
the assistance of the military aud to render that
sissnce the military force of the United States must
remain the border for the present In other words
active operations the draft must be suspended for the
time being. In the Southwest however, it is not i'm
probable that Grant will leave strong garrsons at Port
Hudson, Vicksburg and Memphis, with heavy reserves
at Cairo and Louisville and with the remainder of his
army he will join Rosecrsns, and make bold push for
Knoxville and Chattanooga, and possibly Atlanta. The
reserves left at Louisville and Cairo will be used If
cessary to enforce the dca in the Northwestern States
and to ntimdate Vallandgham aud his friends and in

the fortified positions on the Mississippi, they will be
