The subject Of the Government loans is en-
crossing the attention Of our bank managers
and leading capitalists. The whole amount Of
money required by Government will be ad-
vanced. without doubt, through the agency Of
the banks in New York, Boston, and Phila.
de3phis, and with such restrictions snd ar-
rapgements with the Secretary Of the Treasury
as will ineure an adherence to the specie pay
ing principles which framed the uo-TTeasnry,
and so guarded as efectuallJ to prevent any
irfa.ion Of the currency BY paper issues.
Theee views are believed to eoincids with
those Of Mr. Chase. and the delay in arranging
to take The whole loan is caused by the mum
ber Of parties to consult, and not from any
dis'nc!inatiop to advance the money. Involved
with these Government loans are the currency
and banking systems OF the country, and Mr.
Chase has given proof Of his earnest desire te
insure the best interests Of the people by con
suIting the practical wisdom and approved
pst1io{isn Of New York. All the arrange

The Chicago Times, which, the people

much as it dares be, now and then shows
the "cloyen foot" SO unmistakebly that

A RELIGIOUS CoNPAET-There is hardly
company in the entire kanFas Brigade that cAa
chow more staIwart, muscular set Of men
than the Moline, H., company Of Capt Gra~
ham, which reached here tHo or three days
ago.
Capt. Grahan is Q cl&s leader in the Metho.
dist church, and re understand, nearly all his
men are connected with the same religious
organization.
On Sunday evening 81 Of the company
marched in regular order TO the n. E. Church
on 9Th street, silently broke ranks and entered
the church. Every man paid devous attention
to the services So soon as the exercises were
over, they quietly reformed their ranks out
side the building and took up the line Of march
for their quarters at the Fort.
Before they had proceeded far en- the return,
they struck up the Wellknown Methodist
hymn with the chorus, " We're gsi2g home,
we're going home, to die no more" There
were many excellent voices, good time was
kept, and The effect w2s admirable.
Take it all in all it was an impressive affair.
