We started to run with the wagon-the small

Evidence in Exemption Cases.


While as a general rule it is best that
applicants for exemption from the draft
should appear in person before the Board
of Enrolment, yet il some cases it may
be too great a hardship to require the
applicant to travel from his home to this
city, and in such case the proof furnished
to the Board must be complete as to the
fact set forth For instance, in case of
disqualification by age, the regulations
require the affidavit of the applicant TO the
fact, the affidavit of two heads of families
knowing to the fact, an authenticated
extract from official register of births, if
obtainable, certified copy Of the family
register, if such register exists, and the
evidence of the parents, if living. Of
course all this may not be required, but
the applicant should send to the Board,
with his application, complete evidence of
the fact set forth as reason for exemption,
and his own with the affidavit of two
neighbors or acquaintance is not always
sufficient.

The Rebel Finances,

The report of Mr. MEMMINGEH, the rebel
treasury secretary, in its statements and
developments concerning the condition of
"the Confederacy," is more important
document than that of JEFF. DAVIS him
self. 1t is more respondent, more gloomy,
and far more significant and positive in
its assertions The Contederacy is ad-
United to be bankrupt, the currency is
worth nothing, and the amount is rapidly
becoming uncomfortable; there are no
values to anything; the government must
repudiate all its contracts, and beg its
creditors to accept ga new way to pay
old debts" This failing, "Me cou,try
must Succumb." This is what Mr.. MEM-
MINeEE himself says:
The continuance of the notes as Il circulating
medium to their present extent involves the
ruin OF public and private credit, and will de-
prive the government of the means of defend
ing the lives and property Of the citizens. If
the currency remains in the present expanded
state, no measure of relief can be made effect
ual. Prices must advance, and the means of
the government to pay these prices must daily
lose efficiency. Tdres become tiuitless, 6y req.
SON of the depression Of the money. The army
can neither be paid, clothed nor fed arms and

officers Of the government cannot be supported !;

Execution Of a Murderer.

CHARLES r. BnooKs, convicted of the muir
sey in March last, was executed last Friday.
The father of the murderer, JOB Brooks, was
an honest farmer of Vincentown, possessed of
a comfortable farm and dwelling. The prop
erty was scarcely sufficient to excite the GU.
pidity of an ordinary felon, for the recompense
was too small for the risk to be undertaken in
taking foul measures to procure it. The young
man was about twcnty-three years old, of fine
personal appearance. His parents were not

1t should be remembered that the Sec
rotary deals only with actual disburse-
ments from the treasury for audited and
established claims The whole amount
of federal indebtedness, including just
floating claims, would doubtless run the
last sum quite up to THREE THOUSAND
MILLIONS.
Secretary CHASE admits, what is appa-
rent from the figures, that the war must
be speedily closed or the government
must resort to heavily increased taxation.
The sum actually paid from the federal
treasury the past fiscal year averaged pre-.
