THE CON SCRIPTION LAWS.
Latin from the Governor ‘of Pennsylvania to the
Sm: The Act of the" 3d of March, 1865,
commonly called the , Enrollment Act,
provided (section 4) that} for the purposes
of the Act, each Congressional Djtrict of
the respective Stat 8 sh old, for '3 Dis
trict, and-(sec. 11));mt a lpersoni enrolled
should be subject to be c Lled into the Mil-l
itary Service of the Uni edStates,mud to‘l
continue in service duri, g the presentmq
bellion, not however ex 'eding the term of"
three years, and furtheurl‘j (sec. 12) that in
assigning to the Districts the numberof
men to be furnished therefrom, the Presi
dent shouhl take into consideration the
number of Volunteers and‘Militia by and
from the several States inwbich said Dis
tricts were situated, and theperiod of their
service since the commdncement of the re—
bellion, and should sodmake said assign- l
ments ai to equalize t 6 numbers among l
the Districts of the severial States, consider- 1
ing and allowing for the numbers already ‘
furnished as aforesaid and the time of their 1
‘service. i
The time of actual se vice which by this l
Act you were directed to consider and al
low. for, could not, wi out. impracticable
labor, (or indeed at all, be fixed with ex- 1
actitude for each District, but it could easi- l
ly have been so approximated by averages ‘
that little if~anypracticaltinjustice would
havebeen done. Thelcommencement of
the third year of the war was close at hand 1
at the time of the pass'age of the Act. It
would not have been difficult to ascertain, i
of one thousand mtsm enlisted for three
years, what-was the average number that
remained actually in the service at the end
of the first and second years respectively,
and thus the Act could have been substam
tially complied with. For instance, sup
pose it to have been. found that of one
thousand men enlisted for three years, i
there remained in the service ._an average\.
of forty per cent. at the close 'of the first
year, an twenty per cent. at the close of
the second year. The result would have
been, under the provisions of the Act, that {
sixteen hundred one-year’s men would have
been taken as therequivalent of one thou
sand three years’ men. ,
Unfortunately the Heads of Bureaus. to
whoin the matter seems to have been en
trusted, began by falling into a strange
misconstruction of the Act. They did in
effect strike tram the 12th section the
phrases “period of their. service” and
"time of their service,” and insert in lieu
thereof the phrase “term of their en
listment," and then proceeded toapportion
credits by multiplying the number of men
furnished from a‘district by the number of
years for which ohéy were enlisted. Calcu
lations made on this basis were of course
most extravagant, and the people every
where felt that somehow injustice was be
in done. In the attempt to soften this,
néierous and contradictory ordersahave
been issued from the Provost Marshal Gen
eral’s Office, and long essays by himself
and others have been in vain published to
explain and justify their action.
In fact, as soon as they get beyond the
morally certain limit of the actual service
of the man, their calculation has no longer
a practical basis. its principle, carried to
a legitimate extreme, would Justify the en
listment of one man for 50,000 years, and
crediting him as the whole quota of the
State, with a small excess. l
Surely every reasonable man can say for
himself whether he has found that getting l
one pair of boots for three years is practi
cally equivalent to getting three pairs of
boots iOr one year. »
The visionary character of the system on i
which they have proceeded cannot be bet
ter illustrated than by the result at which ,
they have arrived on the present occasion. {
The quota of Pennsylvania on this.“ call ‘
was announced to be 66,999 men. 0n the
24th inst., it was announced that thequo:
ta of the Western District had, on revrsron,
been fixed at 22,543, which would make[
that ol the whole State about 44.000 3 and
late on the same day it was further an
nounced that the quota of the Western Dis
trict was 25,512, and that on the whole
State 49,583; all these changes being caus
ed by no intervening circumstances that
I am aware of. In fact our quota on the
last‘csll was filled, and there can be no dc
ficiency to be now supplied.

“Ann“ is man" AKILVILI. Puma."
Their plitn is unjust to the districts end
to the’Gofiernment. It wholly‘ignores the
louse of men by deaertiou, sickness, death.
end «vanities. The losses from most of
these cauges are greater during the first
year of se vice t?“ afterwards. A town
which hleur-nis ed three thousand men
for one year. has robnbly lost three-fifths
of them fr n) thong causes before the expi
ration of he term. ~Another equal town
which has furnished one thousand men for
three yea . any before the expiration of
that term "hive lost seventeen-twentieth
of them. The first town will have thus
given sixt zn hundred men to the country
'—the :: md but eight hundred and fifty.
There is . - equality in this? The exhaus
tion of th = industrial population of the two
town. is i very unequal proportions. As
to the Go ernment—the Government has
in the firs cue the actual service. during
the whole ear. of fourteenv-lmndred men :
in the send case the actual service, if
say !our undred men, during the who 3
first year, of probably not more than tw
hundred "in/during the whole second
year, and any one hundred and ‘fifty men
at most d ring the whole third year. Be
sides, the amount of servicethat many he
required mptly is to be considered, and
not mere) the agreed term of service. At
’the late 3 -rm of Fort Fisher; one at. least
of the Pia nsylvania one year regiments
was engagd, and behaved most gallantly.
Who will my that if one-third of their num
ber had . :‘n enlisted for fihree year‘s, it
would on hat account have been able to
Ezrform : : much service as the whole mim
r aid in that unsurpassed exploit?
But thre ig even more ’se’rious erron
than has - -eu above e‘posed. The clause
of the act cf 3d March, 1863, under whlch
{gr ojfic-rs profess to be acting, has not
1 62 in fw ce since the 24th of February,
8 .
‘ Wheth'e induced thereto by the strange
ness of the system which had been adopted
under it” qr for whatever reasons, Congress
thought ii to pass the act 24th February,
1864, (am led, “An Act to amend the act
of 3d Mn , 1863,”) which provides (sec
tion 2) tli t the quota of each Ward of a
city, town &c., shall be as nearly aspossif
ble in pro ortion to the numbe‘r of men
resident t erein liable to render military
service, ta ing into account as far as prac
ticable th number which had been previ
ousiy furn shed therefrom. It
Thus t a former act was amended by
giving cre its, not to districts but to small
er localiti . and by omitting the provision
for consid ring and allowing for the time
of service in estimating credits ; they were
directed in future to be giveaas far a; pruc
ticable on the basis of the number of men
previously furnished, Without reference to
the time fservicé. .
And thi- was followed up the not of.4th
July, 186 . (passed at the same session,)'
which‘ pr ides (section 1) that the Presi
dent may at his discretion, call for any
.number -f -volunteers for the respective
terms of me, two and~three years, with
bounlies r-gulated according to their term
of enlistmnt, and (section 2) that in-case
the quota of any town, &c., shall not be
filled wit in the s ace of sixty days after
such call, hen the gresident shall immedi
ately ord r a draft for one year to fill such
quota.
These re the clauses which now regu
llate the s bject. It is not for me or you,
sir, to dis use the question of their proprie
ty. The are to be obeyed. .
It woul be easy to show that they form
as reasons is and intelligible system. For
merly w 11 calls were made 3f men for
military ervic they were mu e~by requi
sitionson the governors of the respective
States, w o the proceeded to draft the rev
quired n mber to fill the quota of the State.
In this drpft, men from any State’or locality
who had lalglnutarily entered the service of
the Uni States, by enlisting in the army
or other 'ise, were not taken into account.
lflo credi were given for them on the quo
ta, any in re than for men who had of their
own new engaged themselves in any oth
er lawful employment. The system .how
ever of ' ing very large bodies of men as
voluntem under the act of Congress of ,
1861, had; drawn upon the military po uls—
tion of th respective States and loca’hties
very hea iiy, and not quite equably, and
thereto: when the enrollment act of 1863
was pass . it was thought best to provide
for equalizing the exhaustion, by allowing"
credits to localities -for the volunteers fur
‘ nished by them. But the government had
‘ accepted? volunteers for various terms of
servtce, alnd hence the effort to render the
i equalization more perfect by considering
l and allowing for the time of their service as
a well as the number of men. The acts of
‘ 1864, above recited, have modified this sys
tem, by fixing a definite term of service
gone year) for which men are to be drafted.
’olunteers for not less than that term are
to be credited to their localities on the quo
ta and receive a certain bounty from the
government. Such of them as choose to
enlist for longer terms receive further
bonnties from the government, but so far
as regards the increased term beyond one
year, are not to ,be credited on the quota,
b tare to be left on the same footing that
aii volunteers were on be fore the act of 1863.
That is to say, the government announces
that it will take by its authority arcertain
number airmen from a locality for military
service for one year. That is the lawful de
mand which it will enforce. It pays boun
ties in case of localities to facilitate them
in complyin with this demand without a
compulsOry (giraftr But it has made no de
mand farmer: to serve for two or three years.
The government receives and pays addition
-81 bounties to volunteers for these terms,
but, in that, deals with men only, and, as
the increased term of service beyond one
year is not agreed to be rendered in pom
pliance with any demand of the government
it gives the locality no credit on quota for
it. The government requires 100,000 men
{or one year, not a less number of men for
a longer term. For a deficiency in the ‘
number ofvolunteers forthat term it makes
a draft for one year. This is tofid the quo
ta—not more nor less—when the draft has
been effected the quote is full—there is
neither excess or deficiency.
You £9B that the system thus established
by law is not witbaut foundation in reason,
and can be readily understood. \ - ;
Sll‘, you may not have been heretofore
apprised of the fact that your lubordmntes
are whq‘lly disregarding the act of 24th
February. 1864. hey are proceeding in
qpen and direct violation of it, and are thus
creating: naturally. great cofi'fuaion and un
certaimg among the people. They ‘nn
nounca n the one hand that. although a.
three-yqsrs’ man counts only an a one-year
man towards the quota on which he vol
uriheersv yet that. he shall be counted in
three oileyears’ men. towards the quot. on
n futurican. This is directly in die teeth
of the law. ~On the other hand, they are
ciphering out a deficiency on the‘ last call,
by countmg three one-year’s men he o'nly
equivalent to one threeyeare’ man, which
is equally against law; -
Thus the quote of Pennsylvania under the
call of 18“] July last was filled in accord
ance with the law by men ,to'serve for not
less than one yearl The term 01 service 0!
these men is not yet half expired, and yet
your subordinates are threatening a draft
to fill an alleged deficient: on that very
call, the existencg of which they attempt
to make out by persisting in' their un
lawful and unsubstantinl theories and calcu
letions.
Ou'r people know that the government
requires more men. They are willing to
furnish them—heavy as the burden has be
come on the industrial population. Let
the requirement be made in the clear and
definite shape which the law provides for,
and it will be cheerfully complied with.—
But it is hardlyto be tolerated that your
subordinates should be permitted longer to
flursue the system of substituting, tor the
Wren eccentric tplan of their own.
Sir, on behalfo the freemeu ofthis Com
monwealth, who haveelweys given a cheer
ful and hearty support to your government
in the prosecution of this war, it is my duty
to insist—and i do insist-«that you enforce
upon your subordinates that obedience to
the law, which you OWe, aswell as they and
all of us. It is of evil example—it tends to
enfeehle—nafio dcsiroy—thejust power of
the governments—that you should uli'er
your officers to tr‘eat with open cont%mpt
any acts of Congress, and especially Vhose‘
which you have yourself approved end
which regulate a matter of such (1e and
delicate momentas the enforcing admit
for the military service. ?
Relying heartily on your wisdom and jus
tice to set right what has thus been oing
wrong, and to compel henceforth 0% the
part of all, a proper respect for and §bedi
ence to the laws ofthe land, 1‘
I am, sir, very respectfully, g
