70 a small premium, on. theshonds, not ex-

Bonds in various sums were put up, ran

!, Decision Under the Conscript Law.
a case Of some general interest under the
Military .Actsiof February Hth, l864, in
respect to the exemption Of Physicians,
lately went up from this District. The
law exempts from.military service all phys
clans ogertthe age of3e years, who have
been seven years in tho practice. Ina Cir
.oular issued from the Gonscript Department
of South sCarolinas stheaiaw was construed to
!apply only to physicians who had been
licensed. ~
A praoticiug physician in this District,
who had never received diploma from q
medical college, hut who was over thirty
years Of age, aud had been more than seven
yearsin the practice, made application for
exemption to thelocal Enrelling Oficer.-
The latter, acting under Instructions con.
tanned in Che. Circular above mentioned, de.
cided that the applicant was not astitled to
exemption. From this decision ian appeal
was sent upupoR the ground that itiWas
not IN accordance with the law.
i The Secretary Of War decided that The
exception ~elltaken, and that the facts
as to age and length oftimei in regular prao-
tice were sufficient to entitle the applicant
to exemption under the Act Of Congress.
