preceding call The manifest purpose OF the
proyiso is to limit the time within which a
credit may be demanded.
This section must be regarded as taking eff
feet from the passage OF the Act, unless such
a construction is inconsistent with, or forbid-
den by, other parts of the Act
AS Is stated in my Opinion to you of the
18th March, it appears from the face Of this
Act that, at the time it was passed, there was
a pending draft under call for troops in De-
cember, 1864, and it is carefully provided that
nothing in the Act shall operate to postpone
the pending draft, or interfere with the quo
tas assigned therefor. Now, the rule for Civ
ing credits, at the time Of mastering in, will
not postpone the present draft or interfere
with the quotas assigned therefor.
1t seems to me that there is nothing in the
Act that prevents the application Of the l4th
section to the present draft, unless it may be
the proviso thereto. 1t was intended by that
proviso simply to limit the time within which
credits might be claimed, and not to postpone
the application of the rule of credits, when
mastering in, to future calls.
! am ofthe opinion that the l4th section of
said Act is applicable to the call for troops
made by the President on the 10Th December
1864
have the honor to be, very respectfully,
your obedient servant,

Attorney General.

Let every loyal heart to-day,

That He hath given victory
Unto the cause ofright,
And laid the rebel minions low,

That Freedoms banner ne'er was meant,
To aoat above the slave;
We know that "truth when crushed to earth,

And knowing this we give to God

That stricken millions shall arise,

The following opinion of the Attorney Gen
eral Of the United States is published for the
information of the people of this District.
GEO. EYSTER,
Capt and Pro. Mar. 10th Dist. Pa.
OPINION.
ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE, March "a.
SIR;-In your letter of the 2nd inst, you
ask whether the 18th section of the Act ap-
proved Sd March, 1865, edtitled IAN Act to
amend the several Acts heretofore passed to
provide for the enrolling and calling out the
national forces, and for other purposes" is
applicable to the call for troops made by the
President 10Th December, 1864. The sec
ton is as follows:
That hereafter all persons mustered into
the military or naval service, whether as vol
unteers, substitutes, representatives, or other
wise, shall be credited to the State, and to the
ward, township, precinct, or other enrolment
subdistriet where such persons belong by ac-
tual residence, tif ssch persons have an ac-
tual residence within the United States, and
where such persons were or shall be enrolled
(if liable to enrollment); and it is hereby made
the duty of the Provost Marshal General to
make such rules and give such instructions to
the several Provost Marshals, Boards of En-
roment, and Mastering Officers as shall be
necessary for the faithful enforcement of the
provisions of this section TO the end that fair
and just credit shall be given to every section
of the country: Proviped, That in any call for
troops, hereafter, no coanty, town, township,
ward, precinct, or election district, shall have
credit except for men actually furnished on
said call, or the preceding call, by said county,
town, township, wani, precinct, or election
district. and mustered into the military or
or naval service on the quota thereof. y
The 9th section makes the Act take effect
from and after its passage.
The l4th section furnishes the rule by
which men, when mustered into the military
or naval service, are to be credited to the va
noas localities from which they may come.
The 10Th section furnishes the rule by
winch credits are to be given when eompu-
ting for the quotas Of the various draft dis
trlcts. But the 18th section has a proviso
which expressly prohibits the application of
the rule therein given to the pending draft.
From the fact that there is no such proyiso to
the l4th section, it would seem that Il was
intended credits should be given when mus,
tered in under the pending call
But the l4th section has a proviso, the pe-
culiar language of which would, at first blush.
seem TO favor the idea that Congress intended
that the rule, in that section prescribed should
be future to the pending call, ana not future
to the passage of the Act. That proviso do.
clares that credits shall not be given. except
for men actually furnished on said call Or the
