We can inform Alderman Lloyd that Gen.
Fry, in his answer, acted in strict accordance
with law,.ns interpreted by Judge Advocate
General Holt on the 10th OF September, 1868.
The district where the draft is made, or tic
city within tho limits Of which the district is
located, is responsible to the Government for a
stated number of "able.bodied men," The
Government is not in possession Of those men
