Senator Dixon's move to exempt clergymen has been negatived. Several bishops have answered Timon that they will use all influence they can and also get some Protestant ministers to join. He sees a scheme by some few fanatics. Two classes will be formed, the first, unmarried men from 20 to 45, the second, married men of the same age; the first class to be exhausted before the second is drawn upon. The injustice is so manifest that if efforts are made, they can at least obtain the amendment that all clergymen be placed in the second class, or "all Roman Catholic priests be included in the second class." :: III-2-j A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
