OUTSInE CREDITS.

On the resolution of Supervisor Blunt in rela-
tion 10 recruiting in the County Of NewYork request
ing the Common Council to discontinue the permission
Of recruiting booths, and TO pass an ordinance against
recruiting for places out of this County.
Supervisor Fox-I would like to inquire whether the
Common Council have the power by ordinance to punish
person for taking recruits from this County, OBJ
served an order OF the Secretary Of War that prohibit
men from choosing the State in which they should en-
lis, was to discourage recruits. How can the Common
Council pass such en- ordinance with this order OF Score
tary Stanton's staring them in the facet
Superyisor BIl-yT-It is welknown fact that there
are men enlisted in this city for other counties and for
other States. and we have State law against that
called upon the Adlutan, General OF the UntedStacs
and Informed him that such enlistmcnts were going on
and he said "Shov me your ordinance against that,
and viii prohibit IL by order" am perfectly salts
fed that when we pass ordinance the War Depart
ment will issue m order that the man shall be credited
where he enl.sts.
Supervisor SHooK-1s there anything TO prevent
substitute or man not liable TO draft from going out OF
the city TO ens. IN the army in any other county
There certainly can be no law against that. A man
eligible substitute enlist wherever he chooses
That ordinance will not secure the man for rs. The
difficulty this that have been attempting to raise
at $500 apiece, while they are paying all about us
from SEQ to se7j know Of elmen WHO left here to-
night ut SOS Now II is absurd for TO attempt to
fl up this quota ct $500 per man. We must make up
our minds TO do other counties and States do OF ex
peet TO have a draft
Supervisor BLUST-Therc is no law against mnn
going ont Of this State if he chooses to 60 himself
Neither is thee .aDy law against any man coming
into the city TO enlist We have men coming in to en-
list from other places But If any who enlist here NJ G
taken out Of this State there Is law against that and
it should not be DONE The very moment this ordinance
is passed. there will be trouble about men being en-
listed here for other counties. With regard TO the
amount paid Supervisor Shook is entirely correct on
that point have known s.. 800 paid for a one years
man. When was in Albany saw over 800 men wait
ing their turn and every was 10 receive so0O for
one year Let us try one ordinance. and it does not
succeed then let us raise the bounty.
Supervisor sHoCK-lD the meantime the draf viii be
upon US.
Supervisor puRDY-I have the fact before me that II
woula employ person from another State he would
engage to point out ten men enlisted in day in this
| city for NewJersey.
| superyi.or snooK-Tammany Hall is being used for
that purpose to day.
spneryisor PUapr-Cerainly II IT, 1.-THE city author
tiles have authorized such places around the Oiiy o.
New.York. hope IT will not be done any more They
have virtually encouraged those persons at any rate
These are shrewd men, reckless ana regardless of Law
and the interests Of the City Of NewYoIk They nr'
lung their pockets at tie expense Of tho producing
class
Supervisor rry-I think II proper tina. this ordinance
should be passed, and that Immediately. We have pro
ceoded upon the suppostlon thu our quota was FIXED
rpon the basis Of the report OF Supcrvisor B'un made
In December last II that was the established basis
upon which quota was TO be adjusted IL made very
tle difference TO us whether recruits taken out
~ tie city ornot Now appears things are assuming
= different ape and after VIC had been chilled into
apathy ut the eleventh hour we arc called upon FOR an
enormous edition TO quota. If 1t be so, we must
endeavor to prevent every man from being taken ont Of
the city, think the fault Is in the authorities at Wash
irgton not in the Common Council or ourselves
supervisor BIUyT-The number OF men that we had
10 furnish upon that basis was about $500 II II was
correct rs stated in tie letter from Provost Marshal
General Try 20 General Hays The Committee then
made e. communication TO the Board Of Aldermen o.
the very ordinance that have called upon them e
prss We found that It would take the 900 men d.!
(which were enlisted IN Eew.York City, in order t.
make Mp the number actually required But we have
never been able 70 get the Board Of Conpcmen TO pas
that ordnance sand the consequence is that out Of tn
men enlisted we have 60. since then only from Il
fifteen per day. ont Of the 900 enlisted.
, Supervisor PURDY-The question in regard to In
creasng tie bounty will probably come up for oonsid
GRAFTON before the Committee. j have no doub; il
considered desirable by tls Board that the Comnite
viii adopt any measure which may tend to prevent
dralt But must first stop the drain Of VOLUNTEER
from tie City AID CouIay Of NewYork. With regar
TO the action Of the authorities at Washington. hav
no doubt that the Secretary Of War has dealt farl
with New.Yolk We can complain only Of the arrange
meni made by the authorities at Albany. Did they nc
barter away 600 properly belonging to the Cit
of NcwYorkl These facts and startling facts tho
D We were wronged by the arrangements made by on
Own public agents with tie authorities at Washington
have no doubt that when the Chairman OF our Con
! rujttee proceeds 10 Washington and makes propc
! representation 10 the Secretary Of War. he wi
PROMPTLY acquiesce am not willing to condemn BIZ
when every demand made by the City of NewYor
hitherto Las been aceeded to.
TIE resolution was adopted.
SUPERVISOR BLUNT RTADY.
Some question having arisen as to whether one
mora members Of the Committee should proceed

The pnIsJpgsI-I think the Chairman will do quit
