From Chicago.

January 9TH 1876.
EDITOR News. The journey from
Emporia to Chicago occupied from
eight A. NJ. until about the same
hour the evening of the next day.
The change of cars at Hannibal, by
the NJ. X. & T. r. r. was to be dis
pensed with after the first of the
present month. Soon after the
fire, and while places for the larger
business houses were sought, the
owners of lots at the former
centers placed such exhorbitant pri-
ces upon their property, that new
business points were sought, and
have been established. The great
dry-goods house of Field s. Letter
is now on the corner of Madison
and Market streets, and where there
were only buildings of wood, and
of inferior kind.
1t is surprising to observe how
thoroughly the evidences of the fire
have been obliterated. Nearly eve
ry place is again occupied, and the
only conspicuous unoccHpied pla-
ces are the sites of the Court House,
and the United States building.
The work upon these is going for
ward as rapidly as the season will
admit, and the weather has thus
far been remarkably propitious for
the work of building. Many acres
have been added to the lake front
of the city, by the deposit of rub
bish. The title to a portion of this
front is said to be in jeopardy, in
consequence of some defect in the
acceptance of the return of the sur
veyor who did the first work.
One of my excursions in the city
brought me to the vicinity OfThirty-
Fifth stree,and Douglas place and l
embraced the opportunity to visit
the tomb and monument to the de.
ceased statesman. The sarcopha-
gus stands in the apartment beneath
the proposed shaft, and is in plain
view, through an enclosure of
iron, and barred door of the same
material. Upon the side of the
marble receptacle is the simple in
scription, "Born April % 1913;
Died June Sd 1891" But a short
distance off is the little cottage
which was the home of Mr.. Doug.
las during his residence in Chicago.
A plan has been inaugurated for
transferring the monument and re-
mains to the grounds of the Doug
las University-to the establish.
ment of which he literally contrib.

which the monument was cou.

ment.
There is much excitement and in.
dignation among the tax payers in
consequence of gross inequality in
the assessments of the last year
They have sought relief from the
city council, but that body seems tc

According to the New York Sun
the Wall Street brokers are having
q gloomy time. In place of enter
tanning their customers on cham
payne, in their back pariors, they
indulge only In lager beer, schWei-
ger and petzels. They match nick
els and throw dice for the drinks,
and are altogether out of joint. The
glory of Wall Street Seems to have
departed. 1t has long been q den OF
thieves. People have little money
left for wild speculation, or else
they have given Wall Street the
cold shoulder. In the absence OF
the former spectators to feed MP
on. they have turned upon each 9TH

for many of them. The Sun thinks
there are i've times too many bro

was i've years ago. The prospect
is that some of the hoarded money

At one of meetings now being
held by the clergy of New York to
prepare for the revival, the Rev.
Mr.. Macarthur referred to the deep
and wide spread religious feeling of
these times, saying "there has been
nothing like it since the DAYS of the
Apostles" That feeling, accor-
ding to this observer, is especially
strong in New York, and there
is reason to believe that Moody
and Sankey will find things ripe
for the harvest. Another of the
speakers said he had found that
even the ''lowest and most ha rden.
ed classes of society" are now con.
cerned about their religious well
fare. Unless the signs fail, New
York is on the eve of some sort OF
religious revival. We don't know
OF any place in the country where
Q genuine revival of religion
is more seriously needed thar
in New York.
