Those conditions are: !

The President mnt therefore call upon thoe ' subdivisions, nsmed in tbe law, which are liable to furnish quotas.

The credits are to he p'ren w I on quot.n under calls as they are made The quotas must be aligned when the calls are made to determine who are liable sad tbe extent of the liability If tbe Quotas are not aicned when the rail are made, the partie liable are not given fifty day in wVch to fill them .! a draft is ordered witbin that time from the date of the call; be i cause, until the MOtSI are assigned, they do nor J know whether they are liable to furnish any i men, and if anv, what number j A party is not given a specified time in which to perform an act unless he is informed of his liability, and the act itself i' defined and the period for performance i given. From these considerations it i plain that the President cannot call in any manner he may choose, and upon any parties be may choose. He may call when he mar chooe, and for any nura be; . but he must call upon those who are liable to i u.-i :b the men, and in BwSw a manner as legally to notify them of tbe fact They are not thii notified when he ieues u proclamation aimply announcing that he calls for five hundred thousand men, and addreeses it to no perty or thing in the world.

Thev do not believe now it reaches her fairly, and do not to-day know ' whether he is called on for one or fiTe thousand Is it not absurd to say, under such circumstan ces, that on the .rth of September she will Lave been legally notified for fifty days that she had a juota to fiil!
