The Congregational association Of
New York and Brooklyn have issued
to the public statement of their ac
lion in regard to the charges against
Rev Henry Ward Beechcr's morals
which were to be brought before the
advisory council commission. The
committee appointed last winter to
co-operatein bringing evidence before
that commission report that up to
this day, after more than six months
opportunity to speak, and after most
urgent and public entreaty that every
one would speak who had anything
to say against him, no one has seen
fit to respond; no one had undertaken
to make, either before the association
or before the commission the slightest
responsible charge against the moral
character of Beechcr.

Hotel and Restaurant Prices.

The New York Tribune Says that an
association Of New York merchants has
been, formed for the purpose Of advancing
the interests Of country merchants by a
reduction Of hotel and railroad rates.
The belief expressed in the circular
issued By them was, that the exorbitant
charges OF many OF tho hotels prevented
large number OF out.of.town buyers
from purchasing in the city. A reporter
OF the Tribune recently visited number
OF the downtown hotels, in order to as.
certain the sentiments OF the proprietors
upon the subject. The general opinion
among those Proprletors whose guests are
transient and mainly country merchants
was that the stringency OF the times de.
manled reduction, and among those
who have already reduced their rates the
increase in their business seems fully 70
Justify the wisdom Of the step. Nearly
all the prominent hotels kept upon the
European plan have been doing business
at reduced rates TOR the last year. Many
Of them which formerly charged S. per
day, now charge 81 for the same accom-.
modations, and the prices at the restau.
rants connected with the hotels have
been reduced in many instances 30 per
cent since last winter. From number
Of bills Of fare, the following are selected

Business and Money Matters.

The Pittsburgh Commercial Of Tuesday
says that it will require greater business
activity than Pittsburgh has ever YET
known "to afford employment in banking
operations to all,the surplus funds now
lying idle.n
1.-THE shrinkage in values Of the past
three years has caused corresponding
shrinkage in the amount Of money re
quired TO carry on commercial opera
tons: and while the disasters OF the same
period have wiped much fixed capital
out OF existence, the amount OF floating
capital seeking employment is little, il
any, less than 1t was in 1873"
Our Pittsburgh neighbors are perhaps
under more Of cloud just at this time
than most cities, and yet the bank clear
ings throughout the country indicate very
plainly the stagnatiOn that prevails il
business. Philadelphia Is the only ex
ception. Its bank transactions show al
increase since July / Of per cent. Thii
is due, OF course, to the Centennial, and
it shows how accurately the bank clear
ings reflect the general condition Of bust
ness. Since July 1.-The bank clearings al
New York have decreased s3lO,0OO,OOO
or l6 per cent; at Boston, 81, SOC, 900, or
l2psr cent; at St. Louis, s77,6Oo,OOo, or
per cent; and at Pittsburgh, $5,5OO,0O0
or 20 per cent; at Chicago, $50 OOO,0 900, or
lGper cent. The total clearings Tor New
York, Philadelphia, Boston, St. Louis,
Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, New Orleans and
Chicago, for July, 1876, were l,7s2, 4SS,'
Ges; against s2,l1G,olo,4se in July, 1875
This is decline Of 10 per cent. The
bank clearings have steadily decreased
in the three years since the panic. We
may look to see the first genuine upward
movenenfof recovery reflected in an in
crease Of clearings in comparative peri
ods. As yet, there are no signs Of this.
