No Commutation.

The Copperhead newspapers and
stumpers have uniformly cursed and
denounced the communication clause of
the enrolment law. as Ian odlouS dis
tinetion between rich and poor men
They waXed eloquent and wrothy by
turns under such captivating display
headlines as Your Money or Your Life
Blood Money" DC. Whether intiu
enced by this ferocious cutlery OF not.
Congress has taken the Copperheads at
their word. ana has abolished the .'odious
distiction" clause. We now OF course,
suppose they will praise Congress for it,
and approve the law as it is amended.
The amendment of Smithers of Della
ware prevailed, and the bill went to the
Senate which incorporated, a special war
tax of five per cent. and sent the bill back
to the House. The latter returned the
bill again with the objection that the
w ar tax clause was unconstitutional, as
AL propositions for revenue must origi
nate in the House The bill finally~went
to Committee Of Conference, Saturday
evening and the Committee agreed upon
n report. The House promptly concurred
in the report. The Senate at first re
fused to concur, by a vote of liz to Is,
and second Committee of Conference
was ordered A debate arising upon
formal motion, Carlisle attacked the bill
in such a malignant manner that motion
to reconsider the vote by which the
Senate refused to concur in the report
of the Committee was adopted, and the
report was then concurred in by q vote
of 81 to 8, all the Copperheads voting
no. Thus passed the bill; which will be a
law when it receives the Presidents APP
proval.
1t authorizes the President in his dis
creation to require troops for one, two,
or three years, offering bounties of $500,
$500, and $500 for the terms Of service
respectively. The bounty is payable III
three equal installments. Full bounty is
not allow ed to discharged soldiers. In
case of death the bounty is payable to
the wife and children, or mother, but not
to other loyal representatives. Fifty days
notice must be given before a draft is or
dered. Recruits may be enlisted in the
insurrectionary States, excepting in
Tennessee, Arkansas and Louisiana.
The question is now before the people.
More troops are Indispensable to the
salvation of the country. \ rcqulsition
for troops will doubtless be made by the
first of September. Meantime oppor-
tunity Will be offered for volunteering
Those of our fellow citizens, therefore,
who desire to escape the draft Will be
wise if they proceed Immediately to pur-
chase substitutes or to raise local
bounties to be added to the government

EFFECT OF GRANTS Success IN PANS
The Paris correspondence of the New
York Times. under the date of June ),
writes to that paper as follows:
The tenacity of General Grant has
caused CONSERVATION here in govenrmen
tai circles, for wherever they had means
of knowing the extent of the resources
at the disposition of the Federal Coz
ernment, they knew that all that was
wanting was the right man to WELD them.
and, since this man seems to have been
fourd, there is good reason to anticipate
that he will finally succeed in his object.
The feeling on the subject in Cover
mental circles is said to be intense, for. l
need not again tell You, most of this class
Of people look upon the downfall of the
Republic as essential to their own life
and prosperity l speak more particu-
larry of the title classes, who can live on
the patronage of the Empire.
The liberal papers speak OF the fight
ing in the battles between the two armies
in Virginia as the most stubborn and as
the most remarkable in its endurance re
corded in history. No European armies
ever resisted longer than three days such
stubborn fighting as that, and this dem
0nstration of American heroism on the
battle field well cause serious reflections
in the minds OF the observing men of
Europe.
