4TATG WF THE COUNTRY
MEAS UREs OF THE WAR,
RAISING OF TROOPS.

In April, 1861. at the outbreak of hos
tllitles, the Army of the United States was
small and wholly inadequate to meet the
exlgoncy Of war which had arisen. The
President called for seventy.fve housand
troops from the States to serve for a period
OF three months, and subsequently, mad C
other calls. Finally, in the latter part of
1862, drafts were ordered in several States
TO iIl up their quotas, and the proceeding
Tor that purpose was under the State au-
thorities, pursuant to State laws and some
general regulations oftho War Department
framed for the occasion. Thus the case
stood as to the raising of troops at the COM
mcnccmenl Of 1868, and the troops ~ SER
vice al that date consisted of the Regular
Army Of the Uhlted States as it stood at
ihe outbreak Of bostiitos with subsequent
nj; ;Stmcnts added, and of volunteers and
drafted militia OF the States, organized and
Differed as companies and regiments by
State authority. Volunteering had at one
tluc been checked by the Administration,
upon statement by it that all the troops
needed were already in service. Soon, how.
ever, the demand for men was renewed and
at the beginning of 1863 the number call.
cd for and raised had become enormous.
But for the alter purposes OF the Admins
tratlon it was perfectly feasible for it to
call for additional troops in the mauuer
heretofore prarliced which involved State
assistance and corporation and secured to
the troops roised their regular organiza-
ton as State militia under the laws of their
respective States. The army bore, mainly,
the character Of public force contributed
by the States under the fifteenth and six
teenth clauses Of the eighth section Of the
first article Of the Constitution, which au-
thorizo Congress "To provide for calling
forth the militia to execute the laws oil the
Union, suppress in'urreclions, and repel
invasions," )" and "to provide for organic
ing, armlng and disciplinng the the mill.
tia, and for governing such part Of them
as mny be employed in the service of the
United States, reserving to the States re-
spcctlvely the appointment Of the officers"
&c.
The power Of the Federal Government
to call fer troops, and the power of the
States to supply them, organizing them ill.,
to companies and regiments and appoint-
ing their officers, were unquestlonable, as
was also the power of the States 10 select
those troops which they were to contrib
ute, by draft or lot

NEGRO TROOPS.

But subject which requires particular
notice is, the employment of negro troops
in the war. An act of Congress, passed
the 18th day Of July, 1862, authorized
the President "to receive into the service
of the United States for the purpose Of
constructing intrenchmentS, or performing
camp service, or any other labor, or any
military or naval service for which they
might be found competent, persons of Af-
rican descent aud such persons should be
enrolled and organized under such regala-

tion and laws, "a the President might pre-

CONSCRIpTION.

But early in 1868 new system for the
raising cf troops was established by act ol
Congress This was system of conscrip-
ton, Che word and the idea being borrow
ed from the French, y and was without ex-
ample in the history of the United States
Passing by the State authorities and by
the clauses of the Constitution above men.
toned, it put the General Government in
direct communication with the whole arms.
bearing population of the country, and as.
sumed for the General Government exclu.
siVo and absolute control over the whole
proceeding of raising troops. The valid.
ty of this enactment has been questioned
and it is one of the debalable points which
belong to the history OF the war, For it
has been argued with much Of force and
reason that the power Of Congress TO raise
armies although 9 general power is not un-
limited, and that laws of conscription by
it arc not Unnecessary and proper" when the
forces required can be raised with perfect
certainty and convenience from the militia
Of the States under the provisions of thu
Constitution above cited, But, passng
this point, the inquiry arises, why was the
former system involving State co.opera
| tion abandoned, and new and question:
