The President has r>fused to suspend the
draft in New York, and will leave the State
authorities to put DOM the riot. If they
cannot, he will interpose the strong arm Of
the Government.
AT Cabinet meeting yesterday, it was
resolved that while the New York riots
be left to the State authorities, ample and
sufficient force should be sent to that city
to protect the officers incharge Of the enroll
ment. The government has not backed
down. neither is il going to back down from
enforcing the draft there.
The President is urged to put General
Wadsworth or General Butler ia command
at New York, and put the city under mar
tial law, bus this will not probably be
done.
