Aspsc'msn Of a roiirical Clergyman

From the published proceedings of recent
public meeting held in San Francisco we copy the
following:
Among the many speakers OF the evening was
Rev. Thomas Starr King who. alluding to the
work of the Sanitary A Association of the Pacific
Coast. said; We had Gent $500 600 in gold to
suffering soldiers at the East s4e5 900 rather
through the blessed influence of Providence and
Salmon p Chase, ard these two were n team
when harnessed together"
The piety of the political clergyman is well
displayed in the closing lines OF the above in the
very reverent alIusion TO 'sDivine Providence and
Mr. Chase forming grand tenn when har-
messed together" IL is no wonder that the
churches are losing the respect of the people
when such clergy men az King are its authorized
opponents -fCincinnsfi Enquirer.

Your Committee do not state that, in their
judgment, the present issue OF legal tender notes
is in excess of the wants Of government and re-
quirements ofbusiness. They are aware that the
average amount Of legal tender notes held by
New York city banks. for several months past,
has not exceeded twenty millions Of dollars, al
though those notes now constitute the reserve

Had this currency been superabuniant, il would

York, Boston aud Philadelphia.
Various causes combined have created an m
creased demand for currency; AMI the following
may be regarded rs among the principal ones.
namely: (lst). the withdrawal of specie from
commercial and mercantile transactions; cd,
the advance in prices of all commodities; (3d),
the shortening OF credits in every branch of bu
