General Fry’s Letter to General Waterbury, &., xe, bea, Overcs or THe JUDGE ADVOCATE GENKRAL or TH8 Stare oF New York, New Yorx, August 7, 1863. To bis ExceNency Hoxanio Seymour, Governor of the State ‘of New York:— S.im—-In aco rdsnce with your directions I have made the most thor ugh examination practicable into the man- ner in which the draft of conscripts, under the act passed at the last session of (ougress, has been apportioned. For that purpose | proceeded to Washington, and con ferred upon the sublect with the President. and also with the |'rovogt Marsh i General. It gives me great pleas ire to state tht bth of these gontiemen manifested an earnest desire to give all the information in their power, and they aiso -xpressed their wishes and their determina. tion that the draft should be made,as far as possible, just, fair and equitabie in every res)ect. Thanded to Col. Fry your note rejuesting a written Statement of tho rule by which the draft was made, and reovived in rely the letter to you ich is herewith de- livered. Sofar asthe dvatt his yor been ordered che apportionment to exch district and state is independent of every otver district and State 1t bas been o dered in all the Eastern and Middie States With the excoption of New York and Rhode Island, all of these States are claim- ed, at the War | epa iment, to be in arrear io the furnish- ing of volunteers under calls made by the President previous to the passage of the Conscription act. The Western State- are not in arrear; but I believe the draft ip these States is dei yed until itis settled wherher, under the Conscription act, the equalization of the call for cone soripts, which the |’resident 8 rejuired to make, taking “inte consideration the number of volunteers and militia’’ heretofore furnished, shall be upon the basis of the whole population, or of the male population. in the Eastern aud /iddle States, most of which are in arreur, the fe: ponulation exceeds the male; bit in the Weat- bs vy the mile population is largely in excess of the female. ‘Tho draft ordered in exch district is based upon the enrolment in that particular district The number of couscripts requir:d is twenty per centum, or one-fifth of tue whole number enrolled in the district, in the first class, Hesides tuis, Arty per centum additional, or one tenth of the number enrolied in that class, is to be drawn. to supply the places male vacant by exemptions. This Tule is distinctly stated in the letter of Colonel Fry, and is the ru‘e by which the draft is made, It wiil be keen that it rete the fairness and correctness of the draft enuirely won the enrolment, or, in other words, apon the compe toncy, honesty, and fdelity of the enrolling officers, It is now conceded by the federal administration that this State bas more than supplied its quots under ail pre- vious culls for volunteers. 't is due to the people of this State, and to the War Department, to record the tact that the latter bas rendered to our State this measure of jus- tice. If T remember rightly, the excess accorded to us is four thousand ix handred and ninety five, which is cred- ited 19 the several districts on account of the dra‘e, but I Delieve the total of the credits is slightly less, say a total of tno rand five hundred. 1am informed by 1e ralS rague, the \djmant General of the State, that this is at least filtwen thousand Ives than the eredit justly due to us, ‘The foltowing table, which is made up by Congressional di-tricts, shows, for each district, the total number of per- sous er relied i the district in the first class, which, by the (ongcription set should consist only of citizens, and ahenx who bave taken the tneipient step to citizenship, between twenty and thirty five years ot and, if*un- Marrio, between thirty five and forty-five, also shows the credit wthe district on aecounto: the allowauee to tho State for excess of volunteers: the of con- g@eriots required and tne number of names to be drawn, It will be seo:,, pon computation, that the number of conscri)ts reyutred w twenty per centum of the persons enrolled. loss (be credit tur excess o! volunteera.

Fry. ‘The State curolment was neceasarily the turget, It cluded aii the citizens from oxhtesn wo forty five years of age, while the federal eurolment for the firat class includes ciitzens aud inchoate citizens from twenty to thirty-tive years of axe, and, if unmarried, from thirty five to forty-five ‘The number of unmarried me» of the ages last specified is very small. The State enrolment also included exempls, of whick there were 176,912 tu the State. ‘The fact 1s, however, that the State enrolment last year for the cities of New York avd Brooklyp was also euormonsly Wo lage, Then, a3 DOW, people were en- rolied and re-enrolied in these cities, without much re gard to the point whether or not they were liable to be enrobed atall. That it was (co large in New York and Brookiyn 18 fully shown by the above tables, The . iate enrolment, except io the districts mumbered two to nine inclusive, is avout the same as the oumber of males be- tween twenty aud forty-five years of age, according to the census of 1860 Iv the interior districts, in an aggro- sate of over 400,000, the difference, as the table shows, only 627. In districts two to nine, however, com. prising the cities of New York and Lrooklyn, the Stute enroiment excveds the total sumber of males of the same ages by more than fifty thousand, When it is re. membered that the federal enrolment, compared with the >tute enrolment, added over thirty thousand to the Gis) ion against the city. the excessive injustice of the federal enroilm: nt is more fully perceived. If acale be made of the proportion that the federal enrolment bears to the number of males from twenty to thirty-five years of age, according to the con- ‘sus of 1860, it will be seen (bat the enrolment is one hw dred and sixteen per cent in the moti litan and seven- ty eight per cent in the other districts. In other worda, in the city di-tricts the enrolment is sixteen per cent more than the whole number of males of those ages, aud fn the country districts twenty-two per cent less than the whole number. So fa respect tothe total population, The enrolment in the city distriots is fourteen and two tenths per cent ot the whole and in the country districts nine and two- tenths per cent, being @ discrimination of five per cent against the two cities. ‘Such a disproportion is fully explainea by the facts. The greater part of the persons doing business in the two cities, whether ou their own account or in the employ of others, were enrolled twice, and some were en- rolled three or four times each. It can be proved by an overwhelming muss of teatimony that enrolling officers went to places where men were employed or did business away from their homes, demanded and took the names of ali the persons there, notwithstaiding they were already oorolied at their homes, and. while 80 doing, refused to add the residences to the names they tuok. By this course, persons residing not only in different districts, but also in other counties and States, were wrongly enrolled at their places of busi- ness. So also every person who was not manifestly under twenty or over forty-five years of age was enrolled. A statement of an age below or above the limits of the Con- scription act did not avail anything, unless the physical 8igns were 80 convincing that it would have been ard to reject them, and in some cases even then they were mot acce; ted. Besides these, the aliens in the two cities, a b’st in themselves, were enroiled, as though they were Citizens; and, like citizens, most of them two, three or four times each. In some cases the poil lists were copied, and infirm men, some even past three score years and ten, swept into the enrolment, ‘The effect of this wholesale taking down of names Is strikingly displayed in the case of the Second ward in-the city of New York, The federal enrolment in the first class is 1,746. The whole povulation in the ward, by the census of 1860, Was 2,607, and the number of maios, twenty to forty-five years of age, was 847, of which the number twenty to thirty five years of ago was 639. A fail vote of the ward is about 450. The number of con- scripts required from the ward is about 340. If these were exacted, no draft would be necessary, for it would take to supply them every able-bodied man in the ward able under the Conscription act to do military duty in the first class. The effect upon individuals is illustrated by a case which [ will cite. On my return from Washington I obtained in she cars a copy of a leading adminis- tration journal, for which some peraon, writes over the signature of ‘Carl Benson,” in favor of the speedy and relentless enforcement of the draft. In it there was communication by bim, complaining that by the delay he was detained in the city to answer possible drawing of his name. He says, ‘1am one ofa household of five males, all of the others aliens and my- self physically disquaiified. No matter, wearoen the books, and cannot be taken off until after the draft.’’ Without relief, the effect of the enrolment of these five persons, none of whom could be made ¢o servo, would pe, altl none of them were drawn, to reauire positively some oiber man wrongfully to serve as a conscript. With relief, the enrolment of the'four aliens, if the names are fairly drawn, will do no harm; but tho diseased man, if he is drawn, hobbies to the office, and compels some other man, perbaps in some respects leas able, to eudure, in his place, somewhat greater hardship and reg ‘(than 4 continued sojourn amid the enjoyments of ome. T pause here to notice a statement in somo of the public ree that the dratt is heavier in the city of New York je va behind én ite.aupply of volunteers It would be a sufficient answer to state again the fact that, in no district of this or any otber State is there any addi- tion to the number of conscripts required by reason of any uch deficiency. it is my wish to go further, and render the justice that is due to the city of New York, especially as some of the journals printed with:n its limits arostriving to defame it. Such imputations are based upon statemedte of the volun- teers furnished since the 2d of July, 1862. Tho work of the city of New York was mainly before that day. When the Union was assailed and its flag fired upon by armed traitors, the people of the city—though they bad voted twe to one against the party in power—oxorted themselves with unprecedented enthusiasm and unanimi ty to suoply the administration most abuodantly with men and means. Before the 2d of July, 1862, the volunteers raised in the city of New York were fifty-one regiments of infantry, 81x regimonts of cavalry, one battalion of muunted rifles: one regiment of engineers, one regiment, two battalions and seven batteries 0: beavy artillery, one regiment of marine artillery and one rocket Sattulco —teskiog a total of 63.654 men. Iu alithe rest of the State there were raised beiore July 2, 1862, thirty-seven regiments of in fantry, four regiments of covet ean one regiment, battalion and two batteries pf Wy artillery, being total o' 86,219 men. I will deduct one-fourth of the forces raised in New York, very liberal amount for voluntecrs from Brooklyn, which latter city, though it raised tour regiments besides, in furnishing volunteers. as it ts in ‘most other respects, was one community with New York. I make no allowance for volunteers from other places, becauso they would not equal in ber those for other counties and States recruit in New York. This deduction would reduce the number of volunteers furnished by New York city to 40,166, The total of the quotas of this city, upon the ‘basis of population (the worst basis for the city), under all the calls for volunteers was 38,505. Of course, as the city was well emptied before July 2, 1802, it could do comparatively little afterwards. It has furnished sin however, at the very least, 10,000 volunteers, besides repeated temporary service of its militia; all of which, in addition to the excess of 1,661 before July 2, 1362, ia over ‘aud above its quota of all calls for volunteers previous to the Conscription act. To relieve any idea that the discrepancies I have shown are occasioned by differences of population between tho city and the country, 1am ‘ortunately able to contrast the enrolment and draft for New York with those for Philadelphia, the next largest city in the Union, In Phila- deiphia the the evroiment for the first class iv 69,634, being 9 6-10 per cont of the population, and in Now York 127,894, being slightly over 15 6-10 per cent. Tho ditferenve against New York is more than six i ent. .this proves that, if the enrolment in iladelpbia is correct, then the enroknent in New York fs fifty per cent too large. Upon the vote of last fall, the draft in Philadelphia is one to every four voters, and in New York one to every three, This extra imposition upon New York i in spite of the fact that an allowance is made to New York for an exoess of volunteers, while Philadelphia 1s not entitied to any allowance of the kind. The comparisons abeve made are not so unfavorable to those by whom the enrolment was centrolled as to prove {ntentional wrong. The discrepancies might, i chari- ty, be ascrited to the greater incompetency , carelessness or over zeal of some of the enrolling officers compared with others. I regret to be compelied to say that the real truth of the case i# 60 bad as to be inconsi it with ‘any other conclusion than that of intentional fraud, as I will prove most conclusively. Neither the census returns of the whole nor of the number of males from twemy to five years of age, is a correct basis for an estimate of the number of persons in New York and Brooklyn Mable to enrolment under the Conscri;tion act. In the process of demonstration which I now propose, it is important first to correct two erroneous im; woos Contrary to the lar belief, the census returns show that, in State of Now York, in the cities, there is a greater pumber of femaios than of maics, and in the agricultural counties a greater number of males than of females There are sixty counties in the State. In twenty of those there are more females than males. In only four of the twenty does the excess of femaies amount to one thourand,and those four include the cities uf New York, Brookiyn, Albany and Troy. In New York the ‘excess of femules ts 18000. There is a like error provaiiiog tp pect to the com jive bumbers of males of middie age in the city and in the country. {n the city of New York the male ia habitants from twenty t thirty-five years of age are 14 1-10 per cent of its whole population, and in the rest “| of the State the males from twonty to thirty-five years of age are 15 710 por cent of the whole population. Having shown that it i not true, in ether of the two resneete in which # i# generatly supposed to be, that the umber of persons (iable to service ander the Conscription act is proportionately larger in the city than in the coun- try, [now state a reason why tho proportion of persons lo to vonseription i# much smaller in the city than tp the country, It is the comparatively greater number of aijens in the city, More than one-third of the inhabitants of the city of New York are aliens by , birth, and a large portion of those, even of the males, are not naturalized Tn no other coanty ly the State is the proportion as large, though it is very large in Kings and Albany, and jarge in some others, Tho alious are en- rolled ail over the State, and if care is not taken, in loralt ties where they are numerous, to see that the ward or town hat the benefit of the role | will presently refer to, uch places will be subjected to an unjust share of the borden of the comseription, Alions are not liable to the conscription, though tbey make ood soldiers, such /@rsons have formed a largo portin of our armies, | beileve that the city of New York bas sent at least 75,000 resident volunteers to the which it could not have done without the service of alfons, ° oO aljon, howover, will consent to be forced into the army as agon-cript If willing to serve, be will add to the credit of voluntary service the bounty he cam obtain as a volunteer or the premium as @ substitute.

Up tho other extreme, persons over forty-five years of age are exemp! from conscription, As in respect 0 minors, there ia no essential variution in the proportion- ate numbers of the city and country. I bave shown that there ig no reason why the number Of persons liable to conscription should not, in every part of the State, bear about the same proportion to the num- ber of voters. I will now give the total vote for Presi- dent in 1860, in each district to which a quota of con- ecripts has been assigned, and also the number of con scripts required. In doing so I place the districts which gave a majority for Mr. Lincoln in one column, and those which gave a majority agaiust bim in another:— 2,630 1,763 Total.. 30,626 [The three districts to which a quota has not been as- signed each gave an anti,.incoin majority.] ‘The anti Lincoin districts are required to furnish nearly a8 many conscripts as the nineteen Lincoin districts, although the latter polled more than three times the number of votes, Nothing ip respect to the draft could ing be more atartling than this conclusive exhibit. to be in any degree attending the t in respect To show that the result is not attributed to any special circumet election of 1860, I also give asimilar to the election tast fal The threo omitted districts each gave a Seymour ma- jority. Twelve Seymour districts are required to bear a much larger draft than sixteen Wadsworth districts polling nearly double the number of votes. The Seoond district, Brooklyn, and the six districts in New York city—the Fourth to the Ninth—polling 92,893 votes, being only about one-sixth of the whole number, are required to turoish 28,920 conscripta, being about two-fifths of the whole number. That is, seven districts are to furnish two fifths ofthe conscripts, and twenty-one districts three-fifths. In further proof of the fact that the city of New York ‘has furnished more’ its quota of volunteers, it may be noted that in the six districts of that city the average falling off of the total vote in 1862, {4rom the total vote of 1860, was 3,122, while in the other twenty five districts in the State the average falling of was only 2,196—nearly 1,000 teas. Theo whole truth is oven this, for never, of Inte stronger thao years, hag au election in the eity been 60 generaily at tended as was the one in 1862. ‘Thecity contains nearly 260 election districts, and in each of these persons came up to register thomselves who had not voted in many years. In some cases there were fifty such persons in o district, and some of them had not voted in twonty years. L have purposely made the above statements b; itt al classifications.” Many persons express a Y Polke Of political divisions at the present time. President especially, in a letter to the officers of an Albany demo- cratic mee! ng, Sanioxet the fact that it was a meoting of democrats. ta, however, cannot be destroyed by con- coal . Theenrolment Partisan eprolmont, and it is better to show cer be} is 80 while its political discrimi. nations caf be corrected. I have confidence in the Presi- dent that he will be go true to the sentiment which ex- epted to a democratic meeting, as to compel the aban. donment of the attempt to use (be Conscription act as an engine of wrong and oppression to the domocratic ty. OD ome districts there arc omissions, more or leas Bumerous, from the enrolment. The political preferences Of the persons omitted need not be stated, por need who do not approve of the kh of the administration even express @ regret. Colonel Fry saya,in his letter, that in such cases ‘‘the general government is alone the loser,’’ This is not strictly correct. The omisions are moat numerous {n districts largely in favor of tho policy of the «dministration, and by the under enrolment the teceia those di+tricts are deprived of an oppor! do thdir equal share of fighting in the fold to sustain the policy they endorse by large majorities at tho ballot box. In ‘respect tothe dem«cratic districts, and especially the city of New York, the cage is different. Thero has boeu # manijest design to take out of that city, by con- scription tho greater part of its large democratic ma- fority. This is evident not only from the character of the enrciment, but aiso from the fact that, as far as the draft proceeded, the namer drawn were mainly those of demo. crais. This Is an ungenerous course towards a city which has contributed so liberally in every respest to the sup- port of the federal government. Those who originatea it failed to perceive, or else they did not care, that, if twenty five thousand able bodied men could be forced out of the city of New York, it would interfere with the business Operations of the m lis tO an extent that ‘would not only cripple the national cause, but also be felt throughout Al! the States true to the Union. This scheme of fraud has certainly been conceived and ecuted wi'hout the know! the Provost Marshal General. I found that gentioman not only ready to sup- py the fullest information, but also anxious to obtain a nowledge of every wrong ‘or injustice, The President also was docided inthe expression of hia views to the same effect, and was earncst aud emphatic in the assu- rances he desired me to convey to you, that Bub- stantial wrong or error pointed out to hit should be cor. rected. We must look to the irresponsible cabal outside, which hag often perverted the present contest to uses worse than partisan, for the source of this iniquity. It is now fully . If justice ts done it will be corrected; if not, whether it is carried out with more or leas suc- p mn) it will romain in history a6 a gigantic political raud. How shall the wrong be corrected? The Conscription act dently intended that the enrotment ld be purged before the draft, but this course nas not been pursued. Without it a new enrolment would not be effec: tive to remedy the wrong. Colonel Fry. upon my point- ing out the over-enrolment, immediately s the remedy which he has expressed in his letter, and has since carriod out, partially, in a circular to bis subordi- nates. In his letter ho says that non-residents and alions “tf drawn in the draft wil! be discharged, and their places fare not to bo filled by the district, the fifty per cent ad- ditional to the quota being called for only to supply vacan- cles caused by exemptions granted under the law to reai- dents of the diatriet.’” lunderstand this rule to be founded on the principle that the piace of bo person wrongly enrolled and drawa is to be supplied, and that the fifty per cent additional is only to make good the exemptions allowed by the second section of the Conscription act. If so, the draft of per- sons of the following classes will be a’ nullity, and their places will not be supplied, viz:— 1. Porsons not residing tn the districts in which they are drawn, 2. Aliena who have not dectared their intention to be- come olisens Nishi F 3. Pernons under twenty, or over forty.five yoars age, or, if phon Nase thirty five. po = 4. Persona in the military service of the United States on the 34 of March, 1863, os 6. Unknown persons. ‘If the enrolment was fictitious, of course it should amount to nothing; if it war not, the law makes the enrolled person a deserter, and puts upon the government the duty of obtaining bis services. I further underetand that, by Col. Fry's rule, the fifty per cent additional draft is to be used only to supply ¥a- cancies caused by the drawing of persons not embraced in either of the above classes, but who are exempted under the second section of the Conscription act; auch persons being of the lollowing classes, and none otber, vin 1.

Sin—I have the honor to acknowloige the recetpt this day of your note by the band of General Waterbury, of your staf, requesting that I will send by him a fow state- ments in relation to the rules upon whioh the draft is made. I have given to General Waterbury as full verbal information as he desired on all points connected with ‘the draft, and have furnished him with transcripts from such of the records of my office as he deemed of im- portance to you. I presume he wil communicate fully with you in regard to the interview we bave held; but thore are one or two points which it may be best for me to notice in this letter. ‘The enrolment has, eo far as I can judge, bean made in accordance with the law, and is a# nearly correct as it could, in the nature of things,havo been mado. In its main features, in the city of New York, it agroes very = with the evrolment made last year by Goneral Anthon. No given number of men has been fixed as the quota of men to be drafted from the United States, or any par- ticular State, The rule is to take one-fifth of the enrolled menof the first class in each aud every Congressional district as the quota for that district, without regard to other districts off the Statofor to other States. I), in the enrolment of a district, names which should have been entered are omitted through neglect, accident or design, the general government is alone tho loser, as it calls for oze-fifth of the enrolled men of the first class in that dis- trict, whethor it be many or few. It is in this particular that the imperfections of tho enrolment are to be found; but, as stated, no district or class of men suffer from it. It’ may be, however, though I don’t think it is the caso to any great extent, that in some districts non-residents and aliens have been enrolled; but if such is the caze no bardship to the district or people iz likely to arise from it, aa all such, if drawn in the draft, will be discharged, and their places are not to be filled bythe district, the fifty per cent ad- ditional to the AO being called tor only to supply va- cancies caused by exemptions granted under the law to residents of the district. Tn assigning quotas to districts of States, whion Statos have heretofore Curnished an excoss of troops, the said excess is distributed prorata among the districts and deducted from their quotas. You will perceive from the foregoing that whothor the enrolment is or is not perfect no tnjustice or hardship results to the people of the States or districts by the method adopted of assigning quotas, though the general government will not cet somany men as it would if the enrolment would bo made absolutely perfect. Errors will be corrected whomever they may be discovered or pointed out. 1 am, sit, very respectfully, your obedient servant, JAMES B. FRY, Provost Marshal General. "MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. Married.

Wapwnapar, August 12—6 P. M. Money was offered everywhere to-day at five per cent, and even at this rate the leading houses cannot employ their means. Unless speculation should be developed either in stocks or in mer- chandise, or conversions should become much more active than they. are, nothing can prevent the rate of interest falling to four per cent for temporary loans. First class mercantile paper may be quoted at 4% a 6 per cent, Gold continues dull at last quotations—126y; a %. Exchange was very dull to-day; bankers’ bills, 139 a %, with more offering than inquiry. The stock market was lower to-day, and at one time panicky. Some bold bear operators, taking advantage of the dalness of the market and the luH in speculation, made the most of the idle ru- mors afloat about a new railroad war, and marked down prices pretty thoroughly. Thus Central wag done at 124, against 128 last evening; Erie at 103, against 105}; Erie proferroed at 102, against 104; Fort Wayne at 72, against 75. At the first board everything was lower, except Prairie du Chien, which rose 2 por cent. Harlem declined 1 per cont, Pittsburg 74, Southern off 4, Ilinols %4, Toledo 1, Galena %, Rock Island 1, Northwestern 1%, Ohio and certificates %. In gov. ernmonts very little business was dono, and there wasno change in prices. After the board the ham- mering was renewed nd a farther slight decline wae the consequence. At the one P. M. call and between the beards there was a moderate rally, and some of the outsiders seemed willing te pick up stocks wt te dootine; but of the aftcravea season 0 frees A attack was made on the market, and Erie lost all ' that it had gained between the boards. Central rallied one per cent, and was pretty stubborn at the advance. There is a trap at work in the stock, it is said, and some day it will not be any pleasanter to be short of it than it was to be short of Harlem or Hudson. At the four P, M. call the market was dull; a large business was done in Southern old at the best price of the day. Other stocks were pretty steady.

They are, however, as we stated yesterday, absolutely and wholly baseless. There is no com- petition between the New York lines, or between them and the Pennsylvania Central, and there is likely to be nong. There has been no reduction of freights OF fares, and there iano reason to ex- pectany. There never was a time when the mana- gera of the leading roads had so little to gain and go much to lose by competition, or when ¢ managers were working in more perfect harmony. It is true that quarrel has broken out between the Great Western of Canada and the lines west of Lake Erie, which has led to a reduction of through fares on the Fort Wayne road, and likewise, we pre- sume, on the Michigan reads. But the Pennsyl- vania Central wisely keeps out of the fight, and refuses to prorate with the Fort Wayne, in conse- quence of which the Fort Wayne is compelled to sell its cheap through tickets by way of the Allen- town line. And this fight, which ix in reality a very small affair, and will not make # difference of $5,000 a month to any read engaged—much less injure the business of connecting lines which are not involved in the strife—will probably be ad justed in a week or £0, a8 soon as the managers of the Canadian line are convinced that they will not gain anything by ‘‘cutting under.” If ope- rators in stocks had taken time for reflection this morning they would have realized that great var road wars never break out in flush times, when every road has aa much business as it can dé, but oniy hard times, when traffic is light and there ix a scramble for it. Just now, especially, when ra} road property is sieadily improving in pubs esteem, and the diseredit bronght upon it t mismanagement and old railroad wars is wrac wearing away, the pul may rely upon it that the managers of the great lines have to sense and too much prudesce to imp position and the confi they are @ recurrence to the follies of past times: The Chicago and Nortt» pany has earned in the first Ascal year ending July 21, 1892 To the corresponding Increase in 1563. ... .
