The Rev. Mr. Goodwin being out of town, no action has beon takon by tho First Congroga- tlonal Chureh, but theto is roason to beleve thot it will'be reprosented thore.

At loast $500,000 would haveto bo ex- pended for land to support the new bridge, and tho Board think it would bo choeaper to coa- struct o tunnol under tho river. Although tho Amorican Iron and Steol Asso- ciation of Protectionists are so bitterly opposed to codifying nnd simplifying our customs reve- nue lawe, thore is nothing thoy need so much, »xcept, perhaps, it bo thoir abrogation.

At the prayor-mecting, there was o much smallor attondance than during tho first heat of the wovoment. A rosolution introduced touching the controversy botwoon Dr, Edwards and the Polico Dopartment was debated at gront longth, but fually luid oa the table in tho belief that Dr. Edwards -and Capt. Buckley could take care of their own disputes, Aftorwards, a resolution was adonted unanimously indorsing all tie statoments in tho card made public by Dr. Edwards. A permo~ nent organization was formed, to bo known s the ** Women's Temperance Organization of Ohi- cago,” with five managers from ench Division of (thocity. A zonlous crusador tried to have minco Dles that wero mado with wino included in tho pledge against intoxicating liquors ; and another wanted to forbid the use of tobncco; but tho organization was not advanced ounough to accopt those viowa, Queen Victorla has made tho addross which is usually read at the opening of Parlinment. Do- spito her calamitous failure, only o few yoars g0, to mako her royal allizoce any protection to Denmark, she expresses the belief that the mer- riaga of tho Duke of Edinburgh with the daughtor of the Czar will be s pledgo of friondship be- tween the two Twmpires.

If Infiatlonists and rosumptionists in Congross cannot offect & compromisa on tho onre ronoy quostion, tho best thing thoy can do for tho buelnoss intorests of tho community ls to drop tho ruattor for {tho prosont seasion, and let the pooplo know that they have droppod 1t.

Partios intorosted in & riso of stocks aro bonefited when inflation socra probable, and vico versa; and thoy aro tho only parties that aro bonefited. Tho rost of tho country suffors, It hns been charged against cortain membors of Congross that thoy carry on thoso debates on tho curroncy and mako inflation or contraction scom likely as it swits tho intorosts of thomeclves or thoir trienda in Wall street. Wo hopo, for Amorican honor, that the chargo is unfounded. That itia 1 tho power of Congrossmen to do it, howover, ia truo, and that Congressmon are nmot always above ylolding to tomptation is an obsorved fact. And this is another 1eason that whatever Con- gross Is going to do, it shsll do quickly. HURTING FOR TRAITORS, The mystery which surrounds the Common Council coup d'efal thickens. Tho air is full of rumors, which keop Dan O'Hars, Buffalo Miller, and Mr. Hosiug busy, Thoy aro all will o' tho wieps, however, whioh load theso gentlomen into swamps and bogs, and then eludo them. Ald. Foley, who i8 of tondor years and slight ox- lporluncn, but aspiros to bo & lendorfhas felt dooply his responsibility in the mattor, and has nogloctod his billiards to play in this now game which #o doos not understend, aud in which somo ono hsa discounted = him. Sevoral times the explorors have discovered froslt traoka of the. traitors, and have been on the very edgo of finding them, when thoy would loso the trail, DBuffalo Millor hos stoppod on his road to Joliet to help In tho search. Dan O'Hara wonrs 80 ominous and oracular look, as if ho know something about the traitors which ho wouldn't divulge yet, snd all the while Count Dismarck is as disconeolate and mysterious m tho * Baatilo” as was tho Man in’ the Iron Musk, TFor tho first time, ho has got a nut be can't crack, and the great organizer, who 1aid every wire bhimsolf, and was prosont Limaelf to see to the porformance, cannot under- stand how it wna saven of tho puppets failed to come out and dance the German. Every morn- ing Lo solves the problem, but every pight his solution is conclusively shown to be wrong, and, instond of getting mearer to the answer, every doy ho gets farthor away from it. On Tucsdny, it was morally certain that five of the traitors were Stout, Hildreth, Canuon, O'Brien, and, Murphy, and that theso fivo wero do- sirous to have tho now Court-House started immedintoly, to which Cullerton was opposed. Proparations wore immcdiately made for thoir exccution and interment. The graves woro dug and the soxton eccured, and Tom Foloy had propared their opitaphs. ‘Wednesday morning, however, it bocame ovident that thoso fivo were not the traitore. Afr. Hos- g had tried a new way of working out the problom. and found that $6,000 ind boon raised Uy tho Law-and-Ordor party to purchase votes rolief of tho Iudin famino; mukes & partlal con- cession to tho domands of Mill and other land- reformers, by submitting somo mensures for lossoning the delay and expenses of tha tranafer of real estato; recommonds some administra- tive reforms in Iroland, and meeté the Trades- Uniouista who bave boen protesting agsinst the Iaw of couspiracy by the statoment thata com- miseion hiss boen 18sucd to ascertain all the law and facts bearing on tho subject of the legal ra- lations of employor and omployed. for Dixon, and that the money was paid to tho Aldormen of the People's: Party. On this new line of operations it was dis- covered that tho traitors were Potor Mahr, . B. Bailoy, Richardson, Lynch, and Schmitz. "The firat fivo, thorefare, were granted roprioves, and Mr. Hesing made his preparations for the oxecution of tho last five. Thursday came, and tho wind changed again, Tho first five disap- peared. Tho second five dissppearcd also, At tho Council meeting Monday evening, Kehoe, Some more information sbout the caso of Pholps, Dodge & Co, hae been given by Judgo Nosh Davie to tho Committes of Ways and Means. Tho caso was one of the last that camo bofore him during his torm s Umted States District Attornoy in New York, Tho facts, as submitted to him by Jayno, warranted furthor proceedings, inhis opinion, Jayne's usual vio- lent ecizure of books and papers was rendered avnecessary by tho promptness with which Lhe tirm offored them forispection, It was st Judge Davia' suggostion thattho bisis of compromiso was made & sottloment on tho artiolos affacted by tho alloged fraud. Theso were reported to Jayne to bo about $260,000, aud on this estimato tho firm settled. Judge Davis says that ho ad- viged the Custom-Houso olicials that no jury would evor give them a verdict in tho Dodge case, and that if thoy wanted to got snything they bad better compromise. Aftor ho consed to Do District Attorney, b counsoled Mr. William E. Dodgo, aaa frioud, to contost tho case to the last. Judge Davis’ tcglimnn.v was awaited with groat intorost, and he was expoctea to damago nis successor, Bliss, vory soverely. Ho has boen very guarded iu his testimony, however, but manages to convey tho information that Bliss did bim out of his fees in tho caso, Which would hiave amounted to over 5,000, by privately tak- ing tho oath of ofiico soveral daya in advance, and having the case continued into his term, CONGRESB AND THE.CURRENOQY. Congress delays to sottle the currenoy ques- tion, delays to say finally whother we ehall have "contraction, wflation, & roturn to specie pay- monts, or whotlier it shall loave the currenoy Just where it found it on nesembling in Decom- ber. It i to be regrotted that it does g0 delay. Whatever it s going to do, it hnd betterdo quickly ; for tho business intorests of tho com- ‘munity are suffering from its hesitation, ‘There ave thousands of business men, manufacturers, importers, and jobbers all avor the caountry, postponing thoir action only to soe what onclue wion Oongress is going to cowme to on the currenoy question. 8o long as Congross is not quito cetaln what it {s going to do about tho measure of valuos, thero will be num- bers of businces men who will have ns hittle to do with thie exclisuge of property as thoy con. And the hesitation of Congross to sottlo this {m- portant question is a hesitation to tell the com- mercial community by what standard of vajuo they shall measuro their oxchauges. No wonder the comuerclal world hesitates; no wondor busl- nogs I, for the soason of tho yoar, In many places dull; and dull wot bocause of & lack of cur- roney, but bocauso manufacturors and morchants do not know how great an alteration the action of Congross on tho curroncy quostion may intro- duco 1nto thoir contracts. It has beou caloulated that this Congrossional besitation {a o lovs to the country of §1,000,000 daily whilo it lasts. Tho caution of heavy buemness men in this mattor i not to be wopdored at or blamed, The currency not only moves their me_rchmv.hao, It moasures ita voluo, For tho eame resson, o eiry goods merchant wauld think twico bofore ko mado o contract for oloth or linon, to bo executed montby henca, if ha know that in the meantime tho yard moasure might perhaps be lengthouod, perhaps abortoned, and tho torms of his contract thus Jouns, and McGrath were abaent, conse- quontly thoy woro safe. This left twenty- two undor suspicion, counting Richard- gon and Schaffner; but ten of those had squeezed through and como out truly loyal. 1t was in order, therefore, to select gix mora traitors from the remaining twelve for Thursdsy aund six for Friday. Mr. Hesing was proparing to do this, but was interrupted by o procession of tho whole tweaty-two. They came up to the Bustile singly, and individually nssared him that they voted for Cullerton, Morethan this, thoy {ndividually expressed their desire to make affidavits to tuat effect ‘This was a new development which Mr. Hesing had not looked fox, and, as ho turned it over in bis mind, the situation resolved itself into somo- thing liko the following: At the caucus in the * Dastile,” all the Poople's Aldermon had ralsed both hands to Heaven, like tho conspirators in the * Huguenots,” and ewore to stick fo tho party. They had gone to tho Council meoting and il cast their votes for Cullerton, to which tact they wero ready to make oath, Right in the faco of this, Dixon had recoived ninetoen votes, although thoro were but eleven Dixon men presont, and although ons vote be- longing to Dixen had beon counted for Qullerton. This now situstion was sufficient to distract ovon Mr. Hesing. This was a ple- nomenon in voting which he Lad nover wit- nosged before, and if this kind of arithmotic is going to provail hiereatter in Common Counocil elections, upon whom or what can we place re~ lanco? When tho votersare all right, but votes count in thie fashion and figures got #0 ntcerly dopraved that 93 gota changed to 17, and 14 makes its appoarance as 19, and nobodyand ovorybody ready to swear it fen't to blame for it,~no wonder that the groat Chieftain is uttorly mystified and dumbfounded, and that Foley do- olsros hio has never seon anything lko it in the whole course of his life, and that Dan O'Hara shakes his head and looks moro oracular than evor, and tuat Buffalo Miller, giving up the conundrum {o shoer despair, turns round and rosumos bis journey to Jollet, In a provious article we intimatod that we could feel no sym- pathy for Mr, Hesing, but we do bogin to be moved s littlo. The loast that ho can do is to tako his Aldermon before » Notary and gec the aflidavits thab havo been tendered bim, and then sond for Winston, Coolbaugh, Rountroe, Joo Torrest, and the rest of the People's Party, and have thom critically oxamined, after which they should be filed away in the Iiatorioal Socloty, for tho warning of future Chieftaing, — THE BTATE-PRINTING FRAUDS, In the yoar 1872, a8 appeara from the teatimony taken by tho Invostigatiug Committea at Spring- fleld, Maj. Bailhache, of tho State Journal, and Mr, Mornitt, of tho Slate Register, combined to buy oft biddess for tho Biate princing, fu ordor to seouro to thomsolves the contract for two yenrs ot tho maxsmum rates allowed by law. Taoh of them subseribod 5,250, making & cap- itul of 810,600, with which they went Into the markot aud bought up bids as fast 88 they ap- veared, at pricos rauging from 8300 to $1,600, Theirs being the only bid, tho Commissioners of Publio Printing, coneisting of the Becretary of Btate, tho Auditor, sud Treasurer, wea forced to award tLem the ocontract at il maximum rates, which were exorbitant, At thia point Mr. D, L, Phillips aoquirod control of tho Journal Company, and Dailhacho’s connac- tion with tho contraot terminatod. Mr. Phillips, Laving approved of the moang by which tho con- tract was obtainod, cannot now pload that ho ig an innocont third party, Morritt rotalnod his fn- torost. An agrooment was enterod into by which the gross amount recoived from the Bato was apportioned na follows : 55 por cont to the Jour~ nat Compnny for dolng the work ; 32} por cont to the Jotrnal Company, which was oloar galn ovor and abovo the 65 par cent; and 32}¢ per cont to Merritt, who did nothiog but subscribo bis Lialf of tho money that purchasod the merconary bid- dora, 8o for, ho has pocketed over 815,000, which loavos him & haudsome profit on his orig- | insl inveatmont of 5,260, ‘Tho contractors made protoxts for not signing the contract propared by Beorolary Bummel, bo- cause it provided that sixteon pagos should con- stituta o *form* of book and’ pamplilot pross- work, wheroas they intended to charge for oight poges to n form, and thoy have sinco carriod out their intention, Boon after tho award was made, the prosent Commissioners of Btato Print- ing camo into power, but, like their predeces- sora, they failed in their duty to tho Btato in not {nsiating upon tho signing of tho contrct. Thore was nothing to gulde thom in tholr donl- Ings with the contractors but the bid and the award, and subsoquent ovents “provad thoy wero insufolent, Botween the bid and the award thero waa a differonco a8 to tho amount to bo pmd for pross-work in tho fifth class of printing. As origimally drawn, the bid was 25 conts for twonty-five Impressions for prors-work in this olass, but tho bid was altorod by Maj. Boilbacho to 63¢ couts for twenty- five improssions. Ilo sworo positively.that tho altoration was mado bofore the award, but the Commissioners swore that tho bid was not altor- od whon thoy awarded the contrsct. That the contractora understood the rate to to be 63 conte is shown by the fact that, from November, 1879, to Novombor, 1873, thoy charged at thet rato on their books, and the expert employed by tho Stato charged the samo rate on his books up to May, 1878, By direotion of tho Commissicncrs, tho oxpert multipliod his charges by four; and, vary naturally, the contractors, finding tho State was willing, followed syit. The Commissioncrs bide behiud the Attornoy-General, who seems to lhavo given some sort of a verbal opinion sus- taining their view. Theso facts have been proved by the ovidenco given bofore the Printing Committeo of tho House of Reprosentatives, which has boen en- goged in invostigating tho frauds, It Lna slso been shown that the contractors have roceived a vory arge sum for conacructive composition, and that whero they have supplied papor they bave charged tho Stato outrageous prices. Tho binding contract is remsongble and within tho limits of the law, but, on work not provided for Intho contract, the rates sllowed tho binder have in somo cases boeu moro than twico what privato indlvidusls would pay. Tho inves- tigation also shows that there is much unnaces- sury printing, including cssays and locturcs, that ore pitebforked into the agricultural re- ports withont regard to their merit or their rel- evauoy to agrioulturo. Thero is no doubt that the printing contract ‘was obtamed by corruption and frand ; that tho Printing Commissionors failed to bind the con- tractors in writiog; that thoy allowed the con- traotors to construe the law, the bid, and the award, snd by their nogligence, if - nothing worse, conpived at overoharging, by which tho Stato loat a large sum. Tho Committeo, which ‘has conducted tho investigation without fear or favor, should perfect ita work by placing tho rosponaibility where it bolongs, no matter whom it hurts or what party s damaged, They owo this muoh to themselvus and to tho people, and If thoy can devise a law that will in future provent swindling in the public printing, they will confer n lasting boneft on tho Stato. THE HAPPY LAND OF FINANCE. Tho Atlantic for April contains a notoworthy articlo on the dupncial history of Toxas, by Mr. David A. Wells, Toxas bas tried overything. 1t hes out-Loganed Logan in providing currenoy galoro for * the people, tho poor people,” whom the Tilinois Beustor is bound to protect from * moneyed monopolies and tho metropolitan press,” if he has to spend the spere hours of auother two weelks in finding out how to do 1t. Nay, Texas hus ont-Oglesbyed Oglosby. Richard J. sighs for more * groenbacks scaled with blood,” but sanguinary Toxas gave ita notes red backs from tho first, and so figuratively bathed them in blood, instead of meroly sealing them, Instoad of being flecked with blood, thoy were positively gory. And yet—will Richard J, be- lieve it?—these sanctifod shinplostors depre- ciated. Hut we must go back to the beginning. ‘Pexua rovolted in 1835, Spacia fled the coun~ try at onco. In November of that yesr, the financos of tho Btate, which thon had an army in tho fleld, wore in a Judicrouscondition. The racoipts from public Isnds had boon $68.80. Tho Treasurer's roport said:* *This monoy has been exhausted, and also an advanco by the President of the Council of $30." Money must be had. Wiy ahould thore bo lack of it when the Btate ownod quantities of laud, snd when ‘‘money bosod on land” was a rallying-cry of. inflation- ists? 'Tho *'Commercisland Agrioultural Bauk ™ was incorporated. Itcould do about anything, but stockholders must *‘adequatoly secure the value of thel: sharea with roal catate in tho Ro- publie.” But Jo and bobold, bank-notes “posed on laud” did not relievo the finan- cial stringency, Texas snw her error, and went it ouo worso. When land failed her, gho took to water, Bhe incorporated a bauk which was to gain rovonue by digging cannls. But even ourronoy bssed on water did nat euflica, This is & sad fact for the financiors who now want to water the ourrenoy. Tho notes of banks in the United Staley came grad- ually into eirculation, but Texas still yonrned for a first-class, patriotio, genuino home-mado currancy of hor own, Bhe had banked on land and on water, [n tho nick of timo slo bo- thought hereelf of tho *‘faith of the Govern~ ment.” Horo was richnesa, But bofore tho \-équlslko 1awa could be passed, smash went tho Uuitéd Statos banks, most of which wore bssod on falth In tho credulity of the average man and not muoh more, Tho Biato retired from tho businoss of makipg * monoy" for throo yoars. Thoe Boston reformors who Bolemnly rosolved, tho other day, that overy man ought to manu- faoturo his own monoy, wlll be gratified to hear that many Toxans ombraced the dogma duriug thoso three yoarssud printed off quantities of ghinplastors, Tu 1840, tho lssuors of such our- rency collapsod into genoral bankruptoy. Mean- whila the Btato was raislng a revenuo by various ways uud weans, Ou Doo, 13, 1885, a high tarift was onsctod, On Deo. 16, it was revised.

Tho oxcoption was & sweep- ing one, snd only about $8,000,000 worth of suck drafta got into ciroulation, They wore for odd sums, which doubtless provonted thelr sorving ns currency to any grent extont. In Decomber, 1807, whon tho drafts hiad depraciated until they woro worth less than 16 conts to tho dollar, tho Btato doclined to recoivo thom any longer for taxos. In November, 1837, Toxas commenced printing her first sories of 'Trossury mnotos.

A wook ngo we gave a Bynopeis of various pa~ pors published in the Cincinnati Gazelte, diaclos- ing the frauds committed a that placo by Assist- ant-Quartermaster Hurtt, In that wae stated tho goneral fact that Iurtt was stationed firet at Camp Uhaso, Columbus, Qhio, where ho made the acquaintance of Heury D. Qooko, brothor of Joy Cooke, and lato Governor of tho District of Columbia. Whilo there, it is eupposed ho prac- ticod frauds upon the Governmont, and divided the profits with his sssocistes. Ho thon went to Cincinnati, whero the flold was larger, nud in the winter of 1832-8 corried on tho business more extensively. H. D. Cooke, of tho house of Jay Cooke & Co., seut ono Goorgo Scott to Cincinnatl to represent his own and other bauks. Hurtt entored into partnorship with Scott. Ho bought largely, giving the contracts to Scott ; Scott paid for the gooda with Hurtt's vouchars, and then a8 agent purchased theso vouchors with money furnished by Cooko's bepk. The groat difficulty in tho way waa that the rankivg Quartermaster at Cin- cinnoti was Capt. J. H. Dickorson, s man of uncompromising integrity, Hurtt from the first demanded Dickerson's removal, but the latter wae suatsined by Quartormaster-Gon. Meiggs, and tho romoval was never effected. In July, 1803, Gon. Burnsido was put in command at Clncinnati; he soon discovered that Haortt was & swindlor; ho ordered Maj, McLoan to arrest Hurtt, and seizo the papers of bis of- fico. This daty was parformed. In September he made a full report of the caso, and a court- martial was ordered to try Hurtt. After it was ordered and bofoto the trial, a peremptory or- dor was issuod at Washington dissolving tho Court, ordering Ms). McLean’s instapt depar- ture to Fort Scott in Orogon, and Gen. Hart- suft, Prosidont of the Court, to ‘Wilmington, Del. All the papers in the cage wore ordered to bo sont to Washington. A your later, Hurtt was tried on somo trivial mattor, and diemissed. An attompt was mado to force Gen. Hartauif out of tho army, and he nover could obtain, from either AMr, Lincoln or Mr. Btanton, an explanation of tho porsccution. Among the papors published wero various lotters that psssed botweon Hurtt and H. D, Cooke snd Pitt Cooke, snd other parties to tho conspiracy. Attho solicita- tions of Cooke, Becrotary Ohase and Senator John Sherman were indofatigablo in thelr offorta to havo Dickorson romoved and Hurtt mado Ohief-Quartormaster at Oinoinnati, Those thinga arenlt told in Qooko's lottors to Hurtt, as also tho efforts of Gov. Dennigon to the same ond, Tho Gazetle now publishes & second install- mont of papers. Among Hurtt's captured doou- ments were numbers of bids sigued in blank by “Yan Wyck & Co,," and guaranteod by W. Hendordown and Pitt Cooke. Theso bids were to bo filled up by Hurtt as occaslon warranted. As enrly aa Doo. 17, 1801, Henry D. Cooke, then at Washiogton, writes to Hurtt that he waa truly glad to hoar of the lattor's “oporations at Columbus.” In Ootober, 1862, H. D. Cooke writes to Hurtt: o can and will furdlsh all the mouey you nood, on satiefactory terms.” In April, 1803, ho writos to Hurtt, informing him that he had ob- tainod and filed with tho Becretary of War & strong rocommendation to have Hurtt broveted or tranaferred to the regular army, aud this waa aignoil by varlous porsons,—swong othord, by Erastus Coruing, of Now Yorkt, IHo urged that Denntson be requested to soo Blanton ai oo, and tohavo this thing baoked up. Cor ning's recommendation is thus explained 1 Comning was » mauufsciurer 8f iorse-sboes, undor the Bordan patont. The prlce of theso shioon in Cincinnaxt was $5.60 por kog. Beott and Tlurtt purohiased all that Cornlng had, and then gold thom to Hurtt at 11,60 por kog, Thon tollow various loters from GCooko and Hurtt about gotting rid of Dickerson, and Hurtt's ap- pointmont to tho vacanoy. At Iast, Gon. Burn- gldo appearcd, and mado Diokorson Chilef- Quartormastor, who immediately rolloved Ifurtt of moat of hils duties, RNurtt complained bitter- 1y of this, and boggod and Implored ovorybody to aid bim to rotain tho place, While all this was gong on, whilo the Cookes and Scott and all thio othor conspirators woro profiting by thoe plunder of the Governmont, this msn H. D, Cooko, writing from Philadolphla to Hartt, tolling him of hls offorts with Shorman aud oth- ora to have Hurtt rotained at Cincinnati, puts in- to tho gamo lotter tho following: b You ought to havo s lsrgor and moro responsible 11 of action than thoono neslgned you.

Despito thoir prayer-meotlngs and their proces- slons, thelr ploadinga with tho powora above and tho powers bolow, the now Sunday ordinanco passod tho Aldormen and was yestordsy signed by tho Mayor. Tho trouble is that the crusaders have aimed too high and have hoped to carry their point by & singlo dnsl, That ia not tho way to win. A spurt may Carry & crow across tho wioning line, but long, steady pulling must have first brought it near tho line. If tho fomi- ulne reformors havo pluck enough to do hard work now and for somo time to come, and then to wait for tho slowly-ripening fruit of thav toil, thero oro half-s-dozen ways in whioh they can powerfully countoract thoe desires thatdrive men to drink and womon to dishonor. Thoy can seours the passage of & law which will punish adulseration in drinkables as it is punishod +in entables,—by the forfeilure snd destruotion of the poisoned articles. They can, by steady, unfaltering work, securo the execa- tion of such = law, for they would have tho com- munity at their back. The result would bo to soaro momo poople from drinking whisky and prandy, when they found what the stuff thoy 1ind beon in the habit of swallowing really was ; to sbut up tho lowersaloons by repestedly fining \hio proprietors ; sud to make tppling too ox- ponsive, by forcing salgon-kéepors to provide pure drinks, to be half as common as it is now, when almost overything sold across & bar is adulteratod down to tho lowess poseible limit of coat, The women can open temper ance billlard xooms, . where only cigars and coffeo shall bo sold. They can thus give young men an opportunity of spending their spare hours in playing one of our best and ‘most popular games, without being tempted by abar closo at band. To attract custom, the price per game might Lo put as low as 15 or 20 conts, This project, onco’ put into practice, would probably pay for itself, But this bill- jard-room must not bo s barn, It must bo as goy with mirsors and brillisnt withfrescoes ag ite rivals. Thore must bono tracts distributed at {he door. They “con provide & rival a:trace tion to the saloons on Bundays by heartily oo-operating with the recontly-organized Sunday ‘Afternoon Lecture Society of this city. Thoy can thus reach gomo of tho 800,000 men, women, and children who have no placein tho churclies of Chicago, and can 8id in elevating thoir minds with truth and their hoearts with musio. They can, with no great sclf-sncritice, opon comfortablo lodging-bousoes for poor people, on tho plan of thoso buile by Posbodyand the Baroness Burdott-Coutts, in London, It might b well to reserve the first one for unprotocted womon. Such philanthroplo investments bave paid vory well in Loudon in money-roturns and enormously in incrensad health and docreased erimo, Whon Migs Burdett-Coutts pulled down rows of rotten tenements and put upin thoir placo & cloan, alry, cheery cluster of little houses, half the enloons in the neigborhood are gaid to havo cloged for iack of patronago. TThoy can provide entertainment for poor girls. Hero woman’s quick fanoy can cortainly find enough to do, Can thore not bo low-priced and gaod concerts, and talks, and pioture-shows, ote., all given by women to women, aud given without offensive condescensfon? They can, perhiaps, bring the poor into churchos, But to do this, tho sonts must oll bo freo, and the hoar- ora must sll be plainly dressed. The latter ought not to be sn'impossibility, though the avorage ohurch-goer ‘tacitly profers & silkc for horsclt o salvation for her poor Reighbor.

If anything could bo dono in any ono of them by o prayer- meeting sud a procossion, no doubt 1t would be donoe spoodily.
