Affairs in GEORGETOWN.

THE DRAFT AssoCIATIoN.-Last night this
| association met in the Custom House, and the
increased attendance indicated an increase Of
| interest in the association.
Mr. Stake made inquiry for the enrolment
lists OF the 8th and 9th sub districts, and sug-
gested that copies be obtained for the use ofthe
association, as in those lists the citizens Of the
town are especially interested.
Mr.. Parker said the published lists sent to
Georgetown are in the hands OF the enrolling
officers, and no more could be obtained except
from the printer.
Mr. Collins, one of the enrolling officers :e-
plying to the various questions asked by Mr~
Stake, said the enrolling officers had all .he~
lists of those SUBJ districts that they could d.
tain. But there need be no fear OF names lot
being properly accounted for. The officers
have been actively employed in searching .or
these whose names are omitted and accounting
ported TO the general committee, and that re-
port was sent to the Department yesterday
MI. Collins said that they had discovered
many defects in the lists. In one sub district
every name under the letter 50" was dupli-
Gated. Numbers are enrolled who are nom
residents, some residing in Washington, on the
Virginia side OF the Potomac or in other sub
districts. The committee had been careful to
account for all these, as well as those over and
under age. The committee had no right to
strike names from the roll, but they could re-
port the facts ard leave the correction to the
officers supervising the draft. Every man,
whether over age, dead, absconded or enlisted,
is properly noted in the lists returned.
Mr.. Stake asked If the town would be cred
tied for these
Ine president (Md1or Elil,) SeiC lie thought
the object of the Government, in suggesting the
work Of the committee, was to obtain a correct
list, upon which TO base the calculation OF g.
fair quota.
Mr.. Collins remarked that the suggestion was
made when Captain Putnam was the Provost
Marshal, but his successor, Major O'Beirne,
had expressed the opinion that the object was
to reduce the quota to its fair proportion, and
he thought this would be done. ME-. Collins
said he thought the enrolment would furnish
about 200 names of men liable TO draft, or be
reduced about 600.
During the evening quite a number of names
were added to the list Of the association, in
creasipg the membership to rs. paving mem
bers. Mr.. w S. Cox becoming member at
this meeting, il became Necessary to appoint
committee to adjust any diff cuaties which may
arise relative to the articles OF agreement and
j. Q. Hieston, ESQ., was selected.
The meeting adjourned until next Wednes-
day night.
