the Union party to the best interests OF

denied and snccred at by our Democratic
brethren, they declaring that Capt. STEIN

they made without knowledge Of tho

members Of the Board of Enrichment fully

During the last several weeks past, the
| Board of Enrolment of the 9th District
of Ohio have repeatedly been told that
charges of most serious character, ar.
fectng not only the integrity of the mem
bers of the Board, but also the honesty
of the Union party, were being made by
Copporhcads in many places, in regard
TO the exemption OF persons drafted in
this District. The charges made were
that for money consideration drafted
men were procuring exemptions. While
the Board most cmphatically deny that
there has ever been one single case in
which drafted man has been improper.
" exempted, or in which any member OF
the Board has directly or indirectly re-
ceived one single cent from any drafted
man, or his agents, attorneys, physicians
friends or partizuns, they are sorry to say
that il is true, in their opinion, that large
amounts of money have been realized
and stolen from drafted men by pack oi
scoundrcls who have imposed upon the
anxiety and crcduity Of drafted men
about whose right to exemption there
could bo no sort OF doubt. iiQ
The Government has designated some
thirty.sir different diseases and infrmi-
ties, the existence Of any one of which
obiges the Board to reject the drafted
man. There is not perhaps one man out
OF thousand who knows, without exam
ination OF the Regulations continuing
the schedule of these thirty.six different
diseases and nfirmiies, whether he is
entitled 10 exemption or not. But these
Shy locks, who are willing not only 10
plunder the drafted man, but are willing
to do this patriotic serUiee for them al
the expense and sacrifice Of the reputa-
tion Of the officials who are to pass upon
the case, have read aud posted them
selves as To the different causes of ex.
cmptob. Finding the drafted man
nervous and frightened at the possibility
of being taken from his family and bust.

army, battling to sustain the Government

ment, that his case will require sharp
engineering, but that money can effect
the object; ia short, they impress him
with the idea that tho Surgeon Of the
BOARD can be bought and brbed, and
they ask The frightened drafted man from
Inv to five hundred dollars (according to
Ibis ability to pay), and promise to pro-
cure his exemption. The bargain is
made aud then u set Of certificates are
drawn up, which are to be used before
the Board. The lawyer puts bis skill
into the work, aud the doctor not only
teslifes to the existence OF the particular
disease, but in most instances certifies
that he is the family pbysician Of the
drafted man. For services Of this sort
the lao author ises lapyor to charge only
FIVE dollars, and il does not allow doc.

man is exempted, as he certainlywilt be,
