We-are indebtod-iollis-; Hbrior . Chief Jaaticc Pearson, for the following able opinion in the case , From and after the passage of this act, all bite men residents of the Confederate States, between the ages of -seventeen and "fifty, shall be in the nilitary service jf the Confederate States, for the wej:'Act 1 1th February 1 864 j Sec. lr. One of two constractions most, be adopted, lit, It applies to individuate, who are at the date of the passage of the act between the ages of seven teen and. fifty, as descriptio perscmarum v the the same in Ieral effect as if tbo persons answer ing "the description were named, aud puts beni n (he. military 8ervice: for(that is tluriog) the war. This ineanir g can be given, by adding the vors, who are now," so as to make it read, 4 afl white men residents of the Confederate States.if ar now between the ages of seventeen and fifty, ahaU bet in the inilitary serviee of the Confederate State?, for (that is durini?) the war." "This act shall take effect from and after its psssaore'.-. According" to this construction, all white men who arc, at the date of 'the. passage of tho act, under the ago of fifty, would be liable to military" service during the war, notwithstanding they afterwards atfive at' that: age, because they are embraced vby the description, and all white men who are, at the dafp of the' passage of "the act, under theage-of seventeen'would ncit be liable to military seryico,beoaiHe they do not answer the description. So." if this construction be adopted and judgment is thereupon rendered against the petitioner, the Courts And Judges will be bound, as a matter of coarse, upon the authors ty 01 tins decision u aiscnarge every one wno nas been, or may be, pnt in the military sei vice, w'10 was not, at the passage of the act, seventeen years of age. . V Th ere are two fatal objections to this -construc tion. 1st, In order to express the meamaov it u necessary to add words which are. not found in the act, and the additiqn of ; which varies the sense materially Tin's is . not authorized by any rule of construction. ; 2d, According to toe whole scope and tenor of the act, one of its mam oh tects is to bnner into the military service the1 young men, who are continuously arriving at tho age ot seventeen, and the purpose is not only. to embrace those who are seventeen at the passacr of-the actbut all who shall thereafter. arrive at that aoje, which purpose would be defeated, by this construction ; and it can only be contended for on the grohnd of, au oversight, or casus ojnissas" in framing; the"act, which, in so raatev rial a matte F, the court 13 not at liberty, to assume. The second construction is, that the section ap pliea to a class, composed of all white men "be tween the acres of seventeen and ntty,, without. regard to the time when they may be .between those sares. and puts them into military service as a class for "(that is' during) the war. "This meaning can be"" given simply by changing the position of the words ' for the war, so as to make the section ready '-For (that is during) the war, all white men residents of the -Confederate States, between the ages of seventeen and fifty, shall be in the military service of the Confeders ate States." " This ,act. shall take ettect Irom and after its passage." The court is authorized by a well settled rule of construction to change the position of words. See -4 Devawes on Slat utep. Indeed this change in the po&rti30 ot words, in this instancy, is only for they purpose of making the sense clearer. Fqr, if persons are conscripted as d class, it follows of coarse that they cease to be liable' when tbey pass out ot the class, and become liable when they enter the class, when 110 time is fixed, at which they are to be between the age3 designated, the conscription is necessarily as & class. The distinction ieirtg where a time is fixed, the conscription is as indi- - T i T - . " -J. 1 viMuats, " aescnniin . personarum wuuru uu ime is fixed, the conscription is as a class. (Here no time is fixed, so the conscription is as a class', and that consequence follows without reference 0 the position of the word:?, " tor (that is daring; he War," although it makes the sense clearer to put the words at the beginning of the section, in stead of at the end; ; " For the war " is evidently used in thesense of.' during the war;" and conceding, that the conscription is by a class, if the .words, for (that is daring) the war," had been placed at the be ginning of the 'section, the fact that a-' senior rcFerve " would not.be liable after arriving at the age of fifty, is too plain for fli?cnssion, and it would be strane'e if tho result cm be different, from the circumstance that the words, 'Sfor (thsjt J is daring), the war, happen to be at the end ot the section. These words have no, reference ta the term of service that is fixedby conscripting as a class, and the word are manifestly 'used to enact that the; extended conscripiion of a-between the ages of seventeen an'd fifty, should con tinue to be in force during the-war.. y. ; According to this construction all persons un der the age of Cbventftn, from time to time, on arriving at that ae enterv into the "class apdare liable to military service, and all persons under the age of fifty, from time to time, on arriving at that age, pass out of the class and are no longer liable to military seryire thejule working both ways,. unless some provision bo made to the cou- trary.' .' ' ' ; . -y ; -j 4 j ;,;.., 'V" . It may be objected to this construction' that it lets out of the military service all who arrivo at the age of fifty. The reply is, there is nothing in the act tending to show that it was not the in tention to let men, who were oyer forty-five-when: consctipted, go out of the service on'atriving at the age of fifty ; and there is no reason to sup? pose such was the intention on the idea that heads of families, after arriving at the age- of, fifty, would be of more use ta tho country at home, than if they are kept in the mijUaryseryice as "senior reserves.1' pat ai&nme this not to be so, and that tUis' construction , lso implies, a " casus omigTUs" how does - it compare witbk the "casus omissus " implied by the first construction ! -This lets out of the' senior reserve" few old tnen, comparatively speaking, while that fails to take in a large body of yonpg men, who are looked to as the main resource "of the country - fcr future military operations in the regular: army ! - By n, c.

A perusal.of theywhole : act will tend to sups pot this; conclusion. r Mr; yVn$too,.who argued for the government, , referred to. tho ; 5th section, as tending to support the firsj construction. It seems to ns that this section auatains tbe conclti sibn to which we' have aniveili The provision, mac persons . railiog Mo enrol themselves at the time required, shall, be. placed fin the service in the field for the tear in-itho: same manner as though they were between-the' ages of eighteen and fortysfive," ia imposed as ti penalty on such as are recusant, in - respect to whm the term of w-Tjite is uxeu, auu exciuaes ine jaea pi a genera, al liability of &U to' serve fdr tki war. j Tliesnir gestion of the learned counsel that ihe proViso in this 1 section, that tlus. perpohs mentioned shall con- juitute a. reserve. for ttate derence, ceo., should be mpdilied py adding the words,"! except thos'e who fil to .enrol themselves,' - bias nothing to support it. - ; r , - ' y . ' I v' ' . ' . Our; conclusion is also confirBafed by reference 1S62. conscripts," as a class those between the ages of eighteen and thirty ' five for three years1 or the wau The act, September 1862, conscripts as a class, those between eighteen and. forty-live for three years or the war, and the effect of pass ing out of the class, tolrelieve from farther liability to service is prevented by a'proviso, ' when once enrolled all persons , between the -ages of eighteen and fortjjicc shall serve J the fall time" This proviso was necessary to. show an intention, that although the conscription - was as a Class, still, -in respect to persons who should; after being eh rolled,' arrive ..at tho - age ; of fpftyfive, :itl was deemed expedientr to retain them; in 'service for the full time. The "act under, consideration, in ( like manner, conscripts'4, for (that is during) the war," as a c'ass, thoie' between-the ages of sevens teen and fifty, and ther.e is no pVoviso to continue in the service those' who arrive at' the age of fifty and pass out of the class. Whether " a proviso to prevent this effect was left oat on purpose, bes cause it was ;not deemed expedient to keep" se nior reserves " in service, after they become. fifty years of age, or was an- oversight, we have no means' of deciding. -Our duty lisoexpound the law: according to the sense of the word used by the law-maker., and in the i absence of a proviso to the contrary, it follows a? ef coarse that when a" senior rervo ,,TaFrivesjat, the age of fifty, ho pas3s out of the class, and is no longer liable to niijitafy service. . i There is no error in the jitdgment rendered below. !
