A Pointer on the Draft.
@ Editor of the Free Press

To the Editor of the Free Press:
There is SO much said in the guhernatorial
campaign about the Union draft that have
taken the trouble to look Up the record in
certain particulars regarding this war
measure. | wish TO state for the iutorma-
ton Of the public that the first draft was
ordered by President Lincoln in August.
1859, and that the law allowing drafted
men to pay communication and furnish sup
stitutes was not passed luntil March 3, 1867,
SO that until the latter date the liability to
be drafted induced many men to take shci-
ter in Canada, as persons of military age
and sound physical condition were eauali.-
liable to be ordered to the front, however
wealthy they or their friends might be. in
comlsSn with the poorest and most humble
citizens.

DENOUNCING GEN. Sc WELL
The Republican County Committee
Holds a Lively Session.

Although the Hudson County Republi-
can General Committee held but brief
meeting last night it was a decidedly
ken, had called the members to order,
owing to the absence of ex-Mayor Gill
bert Collins, and the reports of the
different committees had been acted on,
Sigfried Hammerschlsg intimated that
he had something 10 say.
When the forcible member from the
Fourth district makes an announcement
of this nature anywhere he always COM
mands attention. and last night he was
more attentively listened to than usual.
He spoke of the election, and in language
that was unmistakable he denounced
the Republican campaign throughout the
State and its managers In particular he
denounced the policy of General Seweli
and laid especial emphasis on that gen.
tieman's interference in the future of
Essex county. Mr.. Hammerschlag
warmed to his subject, and when he con-
cluded amid applause he had laid the
entire blame OF the loss of the State to
General Sewell and the policy he had
forced the party to pursue.
The speaker was well applauded by
many, but there were others present who
did not accord with him, and they de-
manded the views of Ex-Judge r. B.
DeyiuOQT. Inc Juuk6 HlAu6 u lawyer
like speech. He carefully ignored every
position Of the State bat Hudson county,
and the policy of any person in the
late campaign. He congratu lated
the Republican County Committee, and
the party in Hudson county on the
good work they had done and declared
they had done more good work than any
county In the United States that he had
heard from.
Several other speakers followed the
Judge and they agreed that Hudson had
put its best foot forward bat they would
not say as much for the State.
While not denouncing General Sewell
in words. as Mr.. Hammerschlag had
done, they did so and with equal effect by
innuendos.
When the meeting adjourned and the
people left the hall there but few who
felt kindly toward the Camden leader.
and the majority believe the loss of the
Congressman and the Senator is due to
him and his dicIation.

A ROW OVER THE sTEN0GEAPHER-
At this Mr. Little arose and claimed
that the testimony was not taken down
by the steDographer and that the steno-
grapher was Mr. Vrenenberg's clerk.
This brought Mr.. Nredenber9 TO his feet
with fire in his eye. He declared that Mr..
Ltftle's action was the meanest thing that
had happened IN chat court in some time.
He showed how be did not want
his sfenographer to act, but Mr..
Cassidy, the master, had engaged him to
accommodate Mr.. Little, who was IN a
hurry TO get through. and Mr.. Little was
entirely satisfied at the time. The Chan
cellor threw oil uDon the troubled waters
BY sending for the stenographer. who
read his notes. which showed the ev.-
dence to be about as printed As the
Master had certified to the testimony it
was admitted.
Mr.. Vredenberg then referred TO a
former attempt OF Sickle to obtain a di-
vorce from his wife. The case was on nt
recess.
