SAYS the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher in
the CEristian Unioa' at is not easy tc
realize that religion is losing It's hold upon
society, If one but observes the great
space given to reports Of religious dis.
course by our daily newspapers, and con-
siders also, that even fashion has begun
to pay tribute by inventing exquisite
praying costumes for ladies, wherein the
fair devotees can pray to the Lord and

attendance as q member OF tho General

observe In our letter this morning that the
Assembly could not settle the woman
question satisfactorily, Notwithstanding
the action at the east in regard to Miss
smiley's public speaking some weeks
ago. The brethren at St. Louis patterned
after the GRHKLEY Convention at
Cincinnati in 1872. Our readers
will remember that there was
loud and prolonged applause in the
Cincinnati Convention when the Commit
tee on Resolutions reported in favor o.
RENTING the tariff question to the Con-
gresaional Districts. Following this illus
trious, but not by any means successful
example, the Presbyterian General As,
sembly, in the midst Of great applause,
resolved to send the question Of q woman'G
right to speak and pray in meeting to the
pastors and sessions Of the seyera
Churches. The rugged issues Of PAUL.

were thus adroitly tlanked.

would provide for the excess ofrsvenue
over current expenditures, l would do this
by rigid economy and by taxation
where the taxation can best be borne, An
increased revenue would work a constant
reduction ol the debt and interest, and
would provide coin to meet the demands
on the treasury Tor redeeming its notes,
thereby diminishing the amount Of bonds
needed for that purpose. All taxes after
redemption begins should be paid in coin
or o. s. notes, this would force redemp-
tion on the National Banks.
With measures like these or measures
which would work out such a result I
see no danger in authorizing free banking
without limit.

The Importance Of ventilating bed.
rooms is something in which everybody is
vitality interested, and which few properly
appreciate. 1.-two men are to occupy a
bedroom during a night, let them step
upon weighing scales as they retire, and
then again in the morning, and they will
find that their actual weight Is at least a
pound less in the morning. Frequently
there will be loss Of one or two pounds
and the average loss throughout the year
will be more than one pound; that is,
during the night there is a loss Of q pound

The Currency Question,

There Is a decided desire upon the part
Of many members Of Congress to get
some sort Of bill through both houses
before the 22d, the day fixed for adjourn
ment. But tho trouble Is to get up such
compromise bill as the President will
sign. The Conference Committee have
agreed to thirty.seven and o half per cent
retirement Of legal tenders, the redemp.
tion Of legal tenders in coin after July,
1873. and the abolition Of reserves on cir
culation.
A Washington special in yesterdays
Cincinnati 9asettS says that it is uncer.
tain what the President will do: whether
he will oppose such a bill or vetoit. 1t
further says that
"Messrs. Logan and Farwell, on the
part OF the expAnsionists, had q long con.
ference with the President, with the hope
ofascertaining his views npon the points
ct issue between the two houses. BE
dwelt upon the improperly ol his COM
mitting himself in advance Of legislation.
BE, however, talked generally upon the
financial question, but not in strain that
gave much satisfaction to his hearers.
There Is no longer reason for doubt that
II he were TO consult his own wishes
he would have the legal tender feature Of
greenback currency repealed, the repeal
10 take effect In july, 1875, and would
have the entire volume OF greenbacks
retired during the period Of his
present term, he would also
be glad to have the national banking
law 80 amended that no national bank
note below the denomination Of ten dol
lars should be issued. he has expressed
the opinion unreservedly that II no bank
note below the denomination Of ten dol.
lars had been issued later than 1850, and
limo greenback Of less denomination than
ten dollars had been issued, there would
have been no necessity for the suspension
Of specie payments during or since the
war. Notwithstanding these personal
views Of the President, the leading Re.
publicans are hopeful that he will sign
the present currency bill should 1t pass,
but time alone will show.
In addition to the views above quoted
as coming from the President, we have q
further instRllment from him in our tele.
graphic columns this morning, in the
shape Of q memorandum, in which these
views are given more at length.

RunIness Prospects.

The following cheering words are from
yesterdays Cincinnati Gazette, q cautious
and conservative paper, and one not &C
cuStomed to express itself irresponsibly
upon business matters:
"The lste rains and the near spprosoh
Of the adjournment Of Congress are most
encouraging features. At the moment
when crop prospects we're gloomy, in con.
sequence Of dry weather, rains fell In
abundance, and now the signs point to q
season Of great abundance. The dry
weather in May was most favorable to
wheat, and the June rains have set the
oats, grass, corn and potatoes to growing
finely. Besides all this, there Is evidence
Of an abundant yield of fruit. The
year 1874 is likely to be marked ns one Of
great abundance. This will prove far
better than currency initiation. The
financial centers are now glutted with
money. In New York capital Is obtain
able on call at 29S per cent per annum,
and In Cincinnati money was never more
plenty or cheap than at present. The
scarcity Of borrowers is evidence Of stag.
nation in business, ol course; but good
crops will start the machinery Of COM
msrce, and, money being plenty, the pro-
ducts Of the harvest will promptly be
moved, and those who do not get ready
for q lively autumn trade will make
a great mistake. Whatever the coun.
try may have done in the way
Of overtrading heretofore, 1t has been
undertaking since last October. It has
been taking account OF stock for eight
months, and settling up. Goods are con-
sequently in light supply everywhere.
Manufacturers have been on short time,
and consumers have used up their sup.
plies. At the same time speculators have
been idle. With the incoming Of the new
harvest this season Of inactivity must
end, and then we shall experience 70.
sumption Of active business. The pros.
poets arc that the next commercial year
will be one Of the most prosperous eyer
experienced in this country.
