SESSION Vi rriuuy cVcuinS auoPtcu uuaniuouS- |
ly resolution requesting the Governor of this |
State to issue a proclamation prohibiting the |
further withdrawal Of young men from this city |
to be used as substitutes in other States. This
is move which should have been made more |
than year ago. The city of New York has
served too long as mart in which New Eng
land procured men to fill up her quotas in the
sets, through his agents, secured the city and
State for colored men to form the two negro
regiments which he has sent the war in the
place Of white regiments. That was submitted
to on our part without word Of remonstrance
or complaint; but now that the draft is going
to bear 80 hard upon our own citizens the evil
should be tolerated no longer. The effect Of
the practice is not only to diminish the number
of able bodied men liable to be coascripted
here, thus making the draft fall on larger
number Of the resident population, but also to
augment the rates for which substitutes can be
procured. Governor Seymour should therefore
adopt the most stringent measures to shut up
the substitute agencies here and prevent the
further carrying on Of this interstate slave
trade New England has had much to do in
originating the war Let her now do her full
share in conquering peace.

THE CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE
RIors.-The claims for damages to property
in this city arising from the late riots
already amount to 1880, 900. AS some Of
these claims are perhaps greatly exaggcr-
ated, 1t is the duty of citizens who know
the claimants and are acquainted with the facts
to come forward and give evidence so as to
save the city from being unjustly mnlcted on
one side and to render fair play to the claim
ants on the other. To this end notice is issued
by the Commission in two newspapers of the
application Of claimants two days in advance,
and they must be ready with their witnesses at
the appointed time. For instance, the claims Of
parties advertised on Saturday will be heard
tomorrow By this arrangement justice will
be done to all IL persons who know the facts
touching any particular case will do their duty.
