Y. 1 notice an article in Perry Horald and Nows, tolling how when tho first draft ocourrcd in Wyoming County, tho men drafted were compelled to fill tho quota porsoually. Was this a draft for Wyoming County only? Did it not offect ovory county in Now York State aliko? From the timo Fort Suinptor was fired upon April 12, 1S01 to 1SG3 whon first draft was mado wluit did we as citizens do? Wo furnished all tho vol unteer nocossary to carry on tho Civil War. Whon our president called for volunteors thoro was nourly 150,000 men rosiwndod to thut call for 75,000, two mou for ovory oue uskotl for, roady to go at his call to the defence of our Nation and Flag Again our prosidont mado a call with tho sumo result. But in 18li3 tho time came when it was nec essary to supply a cortain number of mon promptly. Thou the prosidont mado a draft, volunteors wore not so plenty, because of fact, wages in tho army woro not to ho compared with what thoy could earn at homo and dan gers at homo not to bo compared with those of the field. Then was tho timo whon Patriotism was shown in tho hearts of tho young mon who had so far kept thomsolves in reserve. Couldn't go bouause thoy thought thoy could mako more money at homo whore monoy was to bo mado in any business venture with scarcely u chanco for a loss. Thoso gontlomcn who paid their $300 to Oscapo this draft and for filling this quota staid at homo oithor bocanso they uurod not for tho honor of our nation or bocauso their oourngo failod or thoy thought themselves too vahiahlo to go, when thov got their order to advance and becomo targets for tho \Boys in Gray,\ whilo our worthy volunteer \Boys in Blue\ illlod .two yoars of ac- tlvo llfo, facing all dangors which thoy might moot on the field of duty, never shirking from their duty but glad to bo ablo to bo of sorvico to our country. Many, many languished in robol pris ons, tho history of which composo our blackost pagos. Of tho men rtraftod in tho first draft of 18G3 tofill-the quota; not, to exceed shown'by assossmont rolls of 1803.) The gontloraan goes on to give' us a tablo showing amounts puid by the several towns of Wyoming county and tho County. This amount was paid for service, not for staying at homo. The amount which Wyoming county rcecivod in return for excoss of sorvico wo all admit was $102,001). This amount was paid back to tho sovoral towns of tho county in proportion to tho number of men thoy furnished to |frco our Na tion that wo might bo one people, livo under ono Government as ono nation under one Hag. This amount was usotl to pay tho indebtedness made by tho sovoral towns in paying tho bounties paid to mon who wont into tho sorvico and did duty as \Boys in Blue, who slopt in a Mold with a stone for a pil low and only a light blanket to protect them from the inclomoncios of tho cli mate, while thoso gontlomou who paid their $300 to escape tho draft, remain ed in comfortablo homes, slept in good beds nights, and days coined cash. This gentleman says tho sottlomcnt was mado on basis cf 820U por year paid back for sorvico. Did theso drafted mon who paid $300 do service'*' Yes at homo on farms or in work shops for which they rccaivod a com pensation' four or more tlmos greater than those who wero in tho Held. They lived woll on the best tho land pro duced or monoy could buy, while thoso in the field shared lot and lotaliko, liv ing on hard tack and black coiTco and a poor quality of corned bcof. This gontloraan makes the claim that tho drafted men of 1863 are entitled to bo reimbursed $192,000 and tgocs on to say that 320 men paid tho amount to our Government which must bo false as figures don't lie, consequently 320 times 300 would not figure 192,000iand I claim that as thoy did no service wo never received a dollar hack from our Government for their staying at home. This amount was paid for service in ox- cess of what wo were obligod to furnish. The $300 paid by each of thoso 320 (as correspondent figures) was simply paid for tho privilege of staying at homo and theso 320 men ought to consider that they got out of tho enterprise very cheap if thoy wanted to stay at homo. If I am rightly informed, thoro was a claim presented to the Board of Super visors of 1894 asking and then com manding them to vote to raise tho amount of $102,000 and interest for a period of 30 years. Now I would like to know what theso 330 Patriotic Citizens wish to do with the excess of 190,000 and the interest on the whole sum for 30 years. Does this too belong to these 320 men? Just stop and think whero you wero during tho four torriblo yoars, which constitute u larger portion of our his tory than any twonty years iu the last contury. You woro at homo onjoying tho com forts of life . A TAXPAYER. WESTERN NEW YORK NEWS. U1S votes wero cast at the LoRoy villago olection last Tuosday.
