The House Of Representatives adheFcs to
the $500 clause In the drsf1ing law, as Ia
seen by the yoto on Mo1iaJ. What their
precise idea is It is hard to say. With that
clsnse in the Law, it il certain, that We
get some money, provided we can catch
here and there a man who hasn't got the
consumption, OF the scAtlca, or hasn't lost
leg, or finger, or MI cEe-one in line dt
for military duty, wt get next to 10
men. AL the men cent to the war yet, nn-
der the DRAFT, with this provision, would
not be enough to stop one Of Morgan's raids
In Kentucky. VIII it give us more in ta-
ture: Trnc, We have obtained few mil
lions In cash, with which to pay the boun-
ties of volunteers. but the money Is all
spent long ago and many more millions
with it.
It may be as well in the end to draft one
set OF men and get their $500 each; and
then pay the $500 to other men to 60 in their
places, ii you have time enough to do 1t in.
But the whole process takes up proaigious
term Of time-a whole year In c{fect-as the
thing has been hitherto managed But we
want men now. The men for the fAl cam
paign ought tc be this day going into camp
prcpar atory to their work. One superiority
of the draft Is that it gets the men ut once
into the Beld-at least that y thsfk thscS, s S,e
lhel elRRsa Re9aGss6h Gss65 ian campaign this yesr; but
that the war Is to be summarily concluded
Perhaps It will be; We hope it may. But
we have no more expectation Of it than to
sec the next corn crop gathered this June.
II We are to have 1all campaign, VIC shall
want new men; 1T 1cast more Of them; for
the hot weather VIC are now entering upon
will use up the soldiers faster than the past
Six weeks has done We cannot too sooa
he ut the business OF getting that fall army
into the field.
But are VIC wrong in thinking that the
House Icluctates to iace the music of the
repeal Of thnt c1ause, for fear of political
conseo uences-th the matignants will raise
a howl through the lauds Very likely they
would; for though they once hovled 1T its
enactment, mud even got up rebellion
against 1t, in New York and elsewhere,
what matters that2 When did Copperhead-
ism care for sclf-contradiction, or self.stult,-
fications But it is, or ought to be, q sniff
cicnt answer before the people, that its re-
peal was what they clainoycd for q whole
year. If We are to Lave the $500 clause, II
cannot be too soon put going; for this pro-
vision will double the time needed to raise
an army. Moro WET calls for more men
Let us be getting them In season.
