House to report bill increasing khe
currency $4,000, 900. The Commit

of the bad people here during this
year of grace, 1870. When IN Mat
toon last Saturday, [ remarked to a
friend. There seems to be an incon-
ceivable amount of loaferage about
your depot. Where do all these bad
looking. idle men come from, and
what are they doing?" oh" said
he, these have come down from Chi
cago; at least the worst looking ones.
and our police have their ewes upon
them" / have learned since coming
here, that the police and criminal
courts had never done as brisk busi-
ness IN the way of long commitments,
as within the last two months; so
that gangs of thieves and places of
low resort have been broken up, and
the earnestness of the magistracy IN
arresting violent and dishonest men,
has scattered hundreds of men to
other places; and it will not be sur
prising if few burglars and scamps
ind their way to your city. It is said
that over seventy thieves and bur-
glars and cut-throats have been sent,
within six weeks, to Joliet.
This reminds me of a reference l
made few days ago to the emigra-
ten of laborers from the city. The
Committee of the Young Mems
Christian Association have bureau
for this object. That bureau has just
reported through the chairman, Mr..
Hitchcock, that they have sent, with
out cost to the society, 1000 men to
the South, mostly | believe, to Mis-.
sissippi and Alabama, and that there
are thousand more ready to start.
The Illinois Central Railroad takes
them to Columbus, KY, free of
charge, and then other roads, in the
South continue the favor. He re-
ports that they get good wages, are
satisfied with their change, save that
they find it difficult to get houses suf-
fciently good to live in. This is a
great thing for reconstruction.
At the late election of officers to
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, the celebrated d. l.. Moody,
who has been the Atlds, carrying the
immense burden upon his D~ak, re-
signed peremptorily. His place is to
be taken by j. McGregor Adams, a
man of uncommon energy, and yet it
is doubted whether he will til the
place of MIR. Moody, whose heartful-
ness in religion, and whose execu
tive ability has been the astonish-
ment of everybody. The Associa-
ton has over fifteen hundred mem
bers; yet, as was stated, the entire
work of the society was performed
by less than a hundred, the rest
being mostly drones.

The canvass for the new constitu-
ton is progressing quickly, with in
creased chances of ratification. Some
fnanciers oppose its ratification
on the ground that the clause of ar

tanned IN any former construction or
schedule thereto, will legalize notes
of the Bank of Tennessee, and bonds
issued during the war, declared void
by the amended constitution OF 1865 /.
