The Draft in the Tenth District.
The draft for this Congressional District was completed yesterday, and the long deferred hopes and fears of those liable to service with the legions of Uncle Sam were settled, and became a reality. Those who were drafted know their fate, and in some instances it is a sad one indeed; while those who are not hit by this stroke of fate feel that a great load of apprehension is removed from their minds, and they are, for a time, free from the iron grasp of the military demon.
While in other sections there has been occasion for complaint, and the abuse of power in the keeping of provost marshals has been deservedly censured, in this district, we have the satisfaction to state, that the utmost fairness has been used, and the nicest attention to every duty has been scrupulously and religiously observed. Moses G. Leonard, in whom we had great confidence as a man of integrity and business ability, has, as provost marshal, added to his reputation, and gained the good will of the people by his courtesy, his disposition to deal fairly, and his strict attention to the duties of his office.
The evident design of certain politicians to make the position of Mr. Leonard
odious, by recommending injudicious enrolling officers, over whose conscience they held control, has been defeated, and the people have been allowed to correct the lists handed in by the enrolling officers, and justice has generally been done. The people owe a tribute of gratitude to Mr. Leonard, who has risen above every consideration that was not honest and fair, and for a just and equitable conscription.
The following is a list of the conscripted for Putnam County and a part of Westchester:
