THE czirmr.
THE. DRAFT.—Provost Marshal General
Fry was in town yesterday, and visited the head
:quarters of the provost marshals who are conduct.
tug the draft in the city. Colonel Fry left Wash
ington on an extended tour of inspection through
the Northern States, and his personal supervision
of the arrangements attendant upon the enforce
ment of the conscription act will doubtless lead to
useful reforms. We understand that he has ex
pressed himself highly pleased with what he has
thus far seen in Philadelphia of matters pertaining
to the draft, and has had no occasion to suggest any
improvements.
The average number of drafted men who daily re
port themselves as ready to go to the field, is not
more than three in each district. In the First dis
trict but one conscript was held for service. The
balance of those whose cases were examined either
•furnished substitutes or were exempted for suffi
cient cause. The trimonthly report lathe First dis
trict shows tbe following figures :
Numbei examined .73
Exempted for physical disability 99
" other causes 42
Only eons of widowed mothers 12
" aged or infirm parents 4
Aliens 45
Furnished substitutes ' 63
Paid commutation money
Held for service
A new decision respecting alienage has been com
municated to the provost marshals of this city. An
emigrant who declares his intentions and becomes a
citizen of the United States, and brings with him to
this country'a minor son, confers, by this action, the
privileges of citizenship upon that son should he
reach his majority. The British consul holds that
such minor cannot be alienated from his parent's
original government during his minority, by any act
of his own or his father's, and that if he does not
declare his intentions he is still a subject of Great
Britain. ' Should, therefore, any person over twenty
years old claim exemption from the draft on the
ground of alienage, whose father may have become
a citizen, such claim is not to be recognized by the
United States Government.
SEVENTEENTH LEGISLATivE DISTRICT.—
The delegatcs to the Seventeenth Legislative lion
-vention met together on Monday evening last, at
Kimble's National Hotel, Twenty-fourth ward, for
the purpose of nominating a National Union candi

by the selection of Prof. James Rhoads as president,
and Dr. J. K. Lee as secretary. The following gen

; Mr. Miller was declared elected, and a committee
appointed to announce to him the result, and solicit
his presence.
Mr, M. appeared, and thanked the Convention for
the honor they had just conferred upon him, and
said, that although he had not sought the position,
yet as he had been selected by them as an indi
vidual to fulfil the important duties of Represents.
tive, he intended to do all in his power, not only for
the ticket on which he had been placed by the par
tiality of his friends, but for the success and triumph.
Of the just ptineiples and important issues which
were at stake in the coming conflict between the
enemies of this Government and its friends. If
elected, he pit dged himself to discharge his duties
lafthfully and honestly. alr.-M. said there never
was a time in the history of this nation, when the
reaulte of an election were more important. Events
the most momentous are before us. If Pennsylvania
goes Democratic we have a dark future before tie.
It was important, then, that every individual who
earnestly desired to see the Government sustained,
and treason crushed, to exert himself to the utmost,
putting aside all petty personal feeling, and with_an
eye single- to the preservation of the Government
under whose benign influence we live, resolve that
every influence, every desire, shall be given to the
success of the glorious principles and important
issues which are contended for by the party who
have resolved to stand by the Administration, and
give it their earnest support, until every vestige of
treason is rooted out.
After home further remark, Mr. Miller concluded,
when Prof. Rhoads introduced to the large crowd
now assembled, Ur. John W. Everman, candidate
for Council, who, being called upon, made a few
neat and appropriate remarks, replete with energy
and patriotism, which were received with great en
thusiasm, particularly his warm euloglum of Gov.
Curtin, and the character of the coming campaign.
SEPTENNIAL ASSESSMENT IN PENNSYL
VANIA.—We learn from itir. John Houseman, one
of the most attentive of City Commissioners that
Philadelphi i has had for many years, that in the
course of a week or two the assessors will com

in order to apportion the State for State purposes.
The City Commissioners desire to have the assess

they indulge a hope that the people will truly re

community like that of Philadelphia there may be

part of the State. There should be correct replies
promptly made by the inhabitants thereof.
GENERAL ThreIIOVEMENTS IN YHILADEL
,
PurA.--Notwithstanding we have had over two
years of rebellion, and that it was stated that grass
had long since commenced growing in our business
streets and cobwebs had festooned the business
houses of the city of Penn, yet we find from the.
following statistics of the Board of Building In
spectors, that private improvements continue, and
at the present time are rather above the usual
average. The city, of Philadelphia can boast of
some of the finest and most palatial buildings to be
found in any part of the world. Pine stately man
sions, containing all that wealth and power can
display, greet the eye of the passing citizen or the
stranger, who may look with wonder upon such
monumental piles of, architectural beauty: But a
few years since where territory was cut up into
truck farms, 4vhere aged sycamores- spread - their
huge branches and formed a grateful shade in the
then country, are now improved with rows upon
rows of cottage houses, with hot and cold water
and gas introduced, where the mechanic can find
contentment, after the toils of the day. Here the
mudsills of society,” as the traitors call the hardy

FIRE YESTERDAY MORNING.—At an ear
hour 3 eslerday morning, the upper portion of the
threewsiory manufactory, known as Naylor & Co.'s
planing mill, WAS discovered to be in flames. This
great hall of enterprise and industry is located at 639
to 643 north Broad street. It was occupied as fol.-
- lows : First floor. Messrs. Naylor & Co.'s steam saw
and planing mlli ; second floor, 'Mr. Robert Arthur,
manufacturer of window sash and doors ; third-sta.
ry, J. P. Wilkinson, turner, and Henry Young, chair
maker, both of whomhad considerable worked ma
terial on hand. - -
. .
The fire commenced in the third story, and raged
with great fury, there being plenty of material to
feed'the flames= The roof soon gave way, and the
tire 'burnt down to the second story. By.this time
the steam tire engines poured in their flouvbarrel
streams," and speedily thereafter relieved the minds
of Messrs. Naylor & Co. and the owners of adjacent
property from further apprehension.
Fqx , n extensive laundry was on one side of the
burning building, and the immense sugar refinery of
Mr. Broome on the other. A few well-directed
streams front the lively steamers so thoroughly
drenched the exterior of these fabrics that the flames
from the .buruing mass played harmlessly around
them.
The entire lots is estimated at $5,000, all of which
is covered by insurance, mostly in the Royal. There
was a private watchman in the building, who quickly
gave the alarm. The fire originated aceidentedly.
FLAG RAISING AT CAMP OALWALADEN.—
Yesterday afternoon another handsome flag was
raised, above the encampment on Islington lane.
The ceremony took place in the presence of a - large
number of people. The flag-staff is the property of
the Corn Exchange Association of this city, and was
tendered to Lieutenant Colonel Gwynn, who is Iry
command of the camp, to be in his possession until
the camp is removed. The flag was raised amid the
playing of the Star-Spangled Banner, by the band,
the booming of the artillery, and the cheers of the
crowd, Innumerable little flags were enveloped in
the large one, and fell in thick profusion as the lat
ter was given , to the breeze. After this ceremony,
the soldiers were reviewed by Major General Cad
walader ; Brigadier General Hatch was alsimpvp.....t_

campments in this State, one in Pittsburg, and the

obliged to report.
ARSON.—Between the hours of four and
live o'clock yesterday morning a small shed stable,
containing several horses, situate at Spafibrd and
Bedford streets, Fourth ward, was fired by some
heartless incendiary, who applied cotton, saturated
with camphene, to tke weather-boarding. The flames
were discovered by a colored man, who gave the
alarm. The fire was speedily suppressed. The stable
is owned by Wm. Loughlin, and occupied by Mr.
McKinney, who drives mineral-water wagons.

THE CONSCRIPTION ACT-IMPORTANT ARGUMENT
The case of Frederick Stingier, a drafted man from
the Fourth district, was again under argument yes
terday. The case has been previously reported, but
a short statement of the facts connected with it is
necessary for an understanding of the line of argu
ment adopted yesterday. Stingier was drafted in
the Fourth district, and appeared before the Board
of Enrolment thereof, and claimed exemption by
reason of being over thirty-five years of age and
married, and, therefore, not liable to be drafted from
the first class. The Board of Enrolment heard the
evidence• submitted-in support of-his claim for ex
emption, and decided it to be insufficient. This writ
of habeas corpus was:then sued out, and, after being
argued several times, a reargument was ordered in
consequence of the point having been made that the
decision, of the Board was not final, as provided by
the fourteenth section of the conscription set, but
was subject to review on a writ of habeas , corpus.
This argumentlwas had yesterday,. John C. Knox,
- Esq., appearing, with U. S. District Attorney Geo.
A. Coffey and Assistant U. S. District Attorney J.
ilubley Ashton, .for the Government, and Charnel
W. Buckwalter and Geo. M. Wharton, Esqs., for
- the relator. Along with this case was argued an
other one, in which the relator's claim for exemp
tion on the ground that he was the sole support of
• his 'widowed mother- had also been disallowed by,
the Board of Enrolment.
Mr. Knox opened the argument for the Govern
ment. `/le raised, at the outset, two.points :
SEW& May Congress provide a tribunal to deter
mine whether a drafted 'person-is entitled to exem
tion, andmake the decisions of that tribunal final?
Second Where one who has= been drafted lin
the first clam claims exemption from the draft, on
the ground that he was married and over 35 years of
age, on the let of July, 1863, is the decision of the
Board of Enrolment adverse to his claim final ?
Upon the first quiation, be referred to the Bth sec
tion of the Constitution of the United States, whisk
gives to Congress the power to false and support ar.
mies; to make rules for the government of the land and
naval forces; to provide for the sailing forth of the
militia to execute the laws of the Union; to sup.
press insurrection and repel invasion ; to provide for
organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia, and
for governing such part of them as may be em
polyed in the service of the United States, and. to,
make all laws which shall be necessary and proper ,
for the carrying into execution the foregoing powers.
He contended that Congress had ample power to re
quire the military service of the people of the United
States, and that] the form and mode of raising and
supporting armies, and of calling.forth, organizing,
and disciplining the militia, was left exclusively to
the discretion of Congress, and that there was no.
power in the judicial department to control the ex
ercise of this discretion, and that armies might be
raised, either by accepting volunteer service, or by
eompelling'eertain classes or persons to render mili
tary service. .So the militia might be called out in
part or in whole ; and, where it is sailed in part, the
manner of ascertaining the part to be called into
Service is to bedetermined by Congress alone. He fur
ther contended that exemption from service was of
grace and not of right ; and that the extent thereof,
and the mode of ascertaining it, when declared by
Congress, could not be questioned.
Upon the second 'question, he argued that the
Board of Enrolment had general jurisdiction over
all persons between the ages of 20 and 45, and that
its decision against a claim for exemption, on the
ground that the claimant was not subject to the first
draft, was final.
These points were elaborated by Mr. ICnox, and
are substantially the same as those previously made
by Messrs. Coffey and Ashton, in their argument
last week.
. .
Buckwater followed foriStingler, contending
that under the conscription act there are three dis
tinct stages which it is necessary to go through to
reach the object of the act, the obtaining of an army,
viz :.let, enrolment; 2d, draft ; 3d, impressment.
Under the first head, section 9 provides for the-ap
pointment of an enrolling officer, and the nature of
his duties : "to enroll all persons subject to military
duty." Upon the inquiry, who are subject to mili
tarydutyt the very first section of the act relieves
us. It clearly sets forth "that all able-bodied male
citizens of the United States, and persons of foreign
birth, who shall have declared, on oath, their inten
tion to become citizens, under and in pursuance of
the laws thereof, between the ages of 20 and 45
years, except as h e excepted, are hereby de
clared to 'constitute the national forces." The en•
rolling officer is therefore to make an enrolment of
all the national forces, those afterwards excepted
under the act, of course, not being a part of such
national forces. But these national forces thus die
ticctly defined, are not to be called - out all at once,
for section 3 provides that there shall be two classes,
" the first of which shall comprise all persons sub
ject to do military duty, between the ages of 20 and
35 years, and all unmarried persona subject to do
military duty, above the age of 36, and under the
age of 46. The second class shall comprise all other
persons subject to do military duty, end they shall
not, in any district, be called into the service of the
United States until those of the first class shall have
been called." -
And section 10 provides "that the enrolment of
each class shall be made separately." The first
stage and,the onewhich must be first completed, is the
enrolment. That is the basisiif the draft. Under
the enrolment there are to be two classes, the first
of which only are liable to be called in the first
draft. These classes not to be made after the
draft, but to be made before conetittuting the
basis of the draft. Now, what does the 14th
section mean when it says, the decision of the
Board of Enrolment shall be final upon oases of
exemption brought before them. It can simply
have jurisdiction over those who aro_
drafted ; lover those who constitute the national
forces and are enrolled asrsuctrrover a man omitted
from - i.r.roie.cntror over one who is unjustly en
rolled- in a class of which he forms no part they can
have no control, and can make no final decision.
If they unlawfully hold him, the courts have alright
to review this decision and ascertain whether or
not he comes within the provision of - the law. If,
however, it is shown that the intention of the law
is to the effect that this Board of Enrolment can
exerciae an arbitary control, and to an unlimited
degree over citizens '
it is contended on behalf of the
relator that no such power could be granted by Con-.
gross under the Constitution of the United States.
While Congress may raise armies by conscription,
yet they must do it in the manner prescribed in the
Constitution. Whatever they do must be done in
harmony with its spirit and genius, and in accor
dance with its provisions.
alr. Buckwalter continued his able argument_at
some length upon the powers specially conferred
upon Congress, and also upon the special and gene
ral provisions of the Constitution which secured
•the rights and liberties of the citizen.
Mr. Wharton followed on behalf of another rela
tor, whose case was alsnibefore the court, and in
volved the Rome questions.
He contended, at some length, that the decision of
the Board of Enrolment could not be final upon a
question whether or not a man belonged to a parti
cular class. Whatever powers they may have, they
can only be exercised upon those persons who come
within the class from which the drat draft is to be
made. He argued that under the Constitution a
judiciary had been established, having jurisdiction
over all cases- arising under the Constitution or the
laws or the United .States. That this was a case
arising under a law of the United States, and one
upon which they could decide. That this Board of
Enrolment could no£ be regarded as a co-ordinate
branch, or as, an inferior judicial body. Its officers
were not appointed in the manner set forth in the
Constitution of the United States for the appoint
ment of judicial officers. That the judiciary could
not be - ousted by the arbitrary appointment of any
persons to sit upon questions of law. This Beard of
Er rolment could not oust the judiciary.
Mr. Coffey followed for the Government, in sub
stantially the same line of argument before adopted
by the United States. -
His argument concluded, the decision of the Court
was reserved. It will be rendered at an early day.
THE POLICES_
Death of au Rxcellent Officer.
Mr. Johnillaley, an officer of the Reserve Corps,
departed this life very suddenly, at his residence, on
South street, below Fourth, on Monday night. Mr.
H. was rather advanced in years, but a large, mus
cular man, and one of the most faithful in the corps.
He was stationed at Ninth and Chestnut streets;
was gentlemanly in his deportment, but firm and
resolute in the discharge of his official duties. On
great occasions of receptions at the Continentakhe
officiated within the walls of that palace-like build
ing, where he was brought more closely under the
attention of distinguished citizens sojourning at that
place. His urbanity won for him - the respect of
everybody. He had. b - een on the police force since
consolidation, and was kept thereunder all adminis
trillions._ Every store-keeper and resident on Chest- -
nut street, from the Delaware to Ninth street, was
his friend, without distinction of political party.
Several weeks since he'was afflicted with an abcess
on his lungs, which finally broke, and he apparently
recovered. On Monday night, in obedience to roll
call, at, the Central Station, he was cheerful, more
so than usual. On reaching home, he was taken
sick at the stomach ' and shortly before twelve
o'clock, he departed this life without a struggle.
[Before Mr. Alderman Ogle. ]
Extensive Thieving
Yesterday afternoon quite a number of' colored
women appeared at the Central Station, to testifyiri
regard to thefts, in which they were the victims.
Emellne Anderson, colored; was arrested on the
oath of Elizabeth Steward, charging her with steal
ing a shawl and fur cape, worth seven dollars. The
defendant is a washerwoman, and while on a pro
fessional visit to the house of Mrs. S., it is alleged,
purloined the articles, and pawned them. It is
stated that in one instance she stole a dress worth
$6O, from a lady who keeps a milinery store in Thir
teenth street, below Lombard. The further investi
gation went over until 2 o'clock this afternoon. The
accused was committed in default of $l,OOO bail.
['Before Mr. Alderman. Devlin. ]
Alleged Female Pickpocket.
A female, giving the name of Catharine Fox, was
arraigned, 3esteiday morning, on the charge of pick
ing pockets of people at Broad and Vine streets.
She was held for a further hearing.
[Before Mr. Alderman Lynch.
Enticement and. Robbery.
Yesterday morning two persons, alleged to be
husband and wife, named Charles and Louisa Brady,
were arraigned on: the charge of robbing a man of
the sum of $70.. It is alleged that the stranger was
enticed into a house situate in the vicinity of Oxford
street and Germantown road, on Mondaynight, and
while in there he was robbed of the sum aforesaid.
The theft was charged against defendants. The case
was returned to court.-

for. yourself the surprising activity with which it
cleanes the blood and cures the disorders.
