Aliso, the following: Mayor’s Orricz, March 20, 1865.—To the Board of Common Council: Gentlemen—I have approved of the act originated in your Board, entitled ‘An act for the relief of drafted men.” Before executing it you must devise the way to obtain the money. The bill, as I am satisfied was intended by you, proyides for the cases of all who may be drafiea finder the last call of the President, except colored persons. city’s quota of the District is 1,674, and deduct from this the probable number of colored persons, say one-third, leaves 1,116. To pro- vide for this number at $75 each, will require the sum of $88,700. I domot perceive, nor does the phraseology of the bill warrant the construction, which it is insistea was intended by you, viz: to allow its benefits to that class who furnish substi- tutes withont being drafted. Whatever you ma there can be no doubt limits its benefits as well in who furnish “substitutes” as those who are held to service, “te drafted men.’ The man, under the terms of this bill, must be drafted before he is entitled to any of its benefits; for otherwise he is not one of the class to whom the benefits of the bill, by its phraseology, is limited. The act provides for the pa: all who shall be drafted and and who are not within the excep:ions in sub- sequent parts of the act as to citizenship. The exceptions might as well have been omitted, 8s no one who is not a citizen will be held to service. If nota citizen he will be exempted from service and some one drawn who is a citizen, and, if held to se derives the benefit of his being so held to ser- the credit it gets on its quota, and he be treated as a citizen for the purpose of this act. It also provides for the payment of a like sum “to ev: ho nish a substitute, or 5 sakes for such service.” MONS. LOUIS BZOLLOZY. rf 4 .. ONS.
