When were substitutes disallowed in the South?

I read that in McPherson (Battle Cry Freedom) that sometime in '63 that the law permitting the hiring of substitutes was no longer allowed in the Confederacy. Sorry but I can't find it now. When was it?

Found it in McPherson's Battle Cry Freedom, page 603 (Ballentine Paperback edition): "Of course a draft without either substitution or cummutation would have been more equitable. But substititon was so deeply rooted in precedent as to be viewed as a right. Civil War experience changed this perception, and after twenty months of such experience the Confederacy repealed substitution in December 1863."

What I've found conflicting is the Journals of the Confederate Congress. You can actually find one House Resolution being approved by Jeff Davis on Jan 5, 1864 (J.C.C. V6, 595). Heck, simple minds like mine are easily confused.
