rious characters, male ~ well as female, for
keeping bawdy. houses and other dens OF II like
Infamous character, those convicted persons
still continue their iniquitous establishments
In the old, but more frequently in some new,
dread Of many respe ectable families who reside
In the immediate vicinity. It Is gratifying To
the orderly and well disposed portion OF our
community to perceive that the .Superlnten-
dent of the Metropolitan pslce force, and the
officers under his direction, have, within the
last few days and nights, evinced laudable
vigilance In their attempts to suppress these
immoral and iniquitous establishments, more
especially in the Second and third wards Of this
city.
On last Sunday night, about II o'clock, the
night patrol Of the Third ward, headed by
Sergeant Skippen, made successful demon.
stration upon notorious den on Ninth street
kept by man named Adam Myers, when he
and his wife and Ave girls Of lewd and lasciv vious
character, with their male visitors, were sur.
prised, captured, and conveyed TO the station
house, where Justice Thompson was on duty
waiting for them. The examination Of witness.
es lasted until near one O'Clock yesterday
morning, and resulted In the commitment Of
Adam Myers, in default Of bail, for trial at the
next criminal court. The girls, Ave in number,
were also required TO give security In $50 each,
for their good behavior for one year, In de.
fault OF this they we're kept al the station house
during tho night; but yesterday morning three
Of them found the required security, and two
were dismissed on promising to leave the city
forthwith, a policeman being directed to notice
and report their departure. Wo are informed
that other demonstrations of a like character
are in contemplation, and II ia to be hoped they
will all be successfully accomplished. The mil
itary gentlemen captured by the police In these
dens of infamny, were conducted under police
escort to the military prison at the central
guardhOuse.

The startling rapidity with which success fol
lows success in the war, and the prospect that in
very few days the contest may be closed by the
final surrender of the rebels, are inducing many to
inquire whether the Treasury Note bill, with the
legal tender clause, may not now be dispensed
with. If the government can raise money without
issuing rredeemable paper, it is much better that
it should not issue such paper. few days since
il was certain that money could not be raised by
