the President issued a call for 5000

defend the national capitol, which was
then threatened. In May further call
was issued for 1900 volunteers. In
Iuly two calls for 100000 men each was
made by Congress. This tremendous
force eventually proved insufficient for
the needs Of the government IN the q.
gantic struggle in which it was engaged,
ond it became necessary to introduce the
conscription. In October, 1863, levy

of the war two further levies amount.
inc to 100000 men were ordered, but the
last call was only partially carried out,
owing to the cessation Of hostilities
Add 10 this vast amount the 100000
men which embodied the army Of the
southern states at the same time, the
total armed forces the country reached
the enormous amount OF nearly 100000,
drawn from population Of only g.

san Francisco, Dec. 9.Dr. John -. Hammered Of
the Methodist Episcopal Church. has moved FOX a
reopening of his case. which tried at the an
nual California Conference last September At
that trial he suspended minister for one
year and defeated AZ delegate 20 tho Quadriennlal
Conference next May. His appeal Is 20 be heard
before the St. Louis conference January s. This
move of DR.. HammOnd's has created much surprise
here 1t was understood that his New York friends
advised him not to appeal. since the committee
which condemned him five out of seven counts
was largely composed of his personal friends The
Rev. J. y. Beard and the Rev. A. c. Bane to
be the attorneys for the Church. which becomes
defendant in the case. The clergymen will leave
for st. Louis the first of the year DR.. Hammond.
who now becomes plaintiff will be represented by
DR.. Forbes from the middle West. Before the
court of appeal the Methodist code provides tina t
the whole case he revised on the evidence sub
mitted; and 1t cannot be thrown out TECHNICAL
ties. All revision rest on we'll substantiated
irregularities or defects in the proceedings. 1t Is
not believed that the decision will be upset. DR..
Hammond's troubles grew out of his bad manage
ment OF the Methodist Book Concern here, his
misuse of funds and his failure to render any ac-
counts of his stewardship.
