It is claimed by the en- ' if ollirig bfBceif onderiffeWjral Or'KCC dated. 8th Sept 1862, that in consequence of the substitute being within the class of per- , sons, upon whom Uie call or calls under the. Act ot tbe 27th September, 1862, is to be made,' be no longer answers the requirement of valid substitute; that the diecbarge here- ' tofbr given te Leopold Cohn is invslied ; and -that he ia bow subject to military service no-' det the Act of lfhh April, 1862. Congress has that large power, conveyed in the grant to it, to raise armies and provide rules for the government of the land and na- . val forces by which it can deal with Che ques tion at issue, io such manner as if" shall deem best for the public welfare. Whatever may be the effect of. ; the order of the Secretary of War, canueffinjr the discharge of Leopold Cohn, there is.no doubt of the power of Con- gress to do si.' Had Congress passed a spe cial Act coucerafng substitutes, it waa com f ictent for that body to repeal it, .or to annul , qualify the discharges wbich bad been ob-7- tained under it The permission by Congress in sicn cases, given to mdiytduals to subsu ment and those who brofit by the tietuiissiuu.. It is a mere indulgence extended by tbe Cov- crnment, which it may at any time, modiry or extinguish. ' And the hke power is, in my opinion, vested in the President of the Con foderite States. As Commanfler-in-Chief of the Army, unless restrained by the action of Congress, be may, upon consideration of public necessity, call upon those to perform -military service who have been , declared lite ble to tins duty, but have been excused from or indulged in its exercise, ' . - But that which,, distinguishes this ease, is that Congress has delegated to an officer of the Government, the Secretary of War, the power to prescribe tbe ' regulations under wbich substitutes may be received.
