The annual report of United States
Treasurer Giltillan , submitted to-day ,
uhowB that during the laat fiscal year
the receipts of the government show
M\ increase over 1880 from every
aource. The increase in receipts from
customs WIM $11,15:57Gll.4'2 : ; from in-
tornac revenue , $11,225,011 59 : from
ealcs of public lands , fl , 185,351).57 ;
from miBceilancoua sourcoj , $3,117- ;
702.01 ; total incroaao.SOS.GSl.Dflj .
which , added to the net reduction of
$6,930,070.19 in expenditures , makes
an increase in the surplus revovuo of
? 34,185,751.78 The net revenues
were 300,782,292 57 ; not expendit
ures , $200,712.887 59. The excess of
receipts over payments waa$100,009-
404.98. of w ich $90,882,201.05 wua
expended in the redemption ofthopub-
lic debt. The baliinco in the treasury
increased $48,007,003 93 ; from $203-
791,321.88 at bei-inning to $252,457-
925.81 at the end of the year. The
amount expended on account of in-
toreftt and premium on the public
debt ran down from'698,552,895.53
during the year 1880 to $83,509,989.-
90 , a reduction of $14,982,905.57
during the year. Sixty four national
banks were organized , and twenty
went into voluntary liquidation , leav
ing 2,130 doiiu ; business at the close
of the year. There were no national
bank failurea during the year. The
semi-annual duty accruing from the
national banks during the year was
$849,355,255 , all of which haa
been collected and paid at the close of
the year. There waa held by the
treasury in United States bonds $300-
505,900 as aecurity for the circulation
of national bank depoaitorira. Dining
the year $270,899,700 iu bonds w re
deposited for these purponea and $277-
527,350 were withdrawn , exceeding ,
by far , the transaction of any former
year. Theao ch.mgea aio chiefly due
to the increases of 5 and G per cent ,
bonds at 3 per cent. , in p rt by the
substitution of continued bonda for 4
and 4J per cent * . States bonds
amounting to $8,531,050 wore retired
during the year. Tlio aggregate
amount retired by purchnso , redemp
tion , conversion and exchange trom
March 1 , 1869 , to thocloxo of the fiscal
year ia $1,983,344,800. Coupone
from United States bonds of the
value of $227,970,075 were paid i'ur-
ing the year. Quarterly iuloreit on
rcgiatcrod stock of funded loaim
amounting to $4,445,579,0 7 was paid
by moana of 305,101 chocks , drawn
and payable to order of thu respective
stockholder , and Bent to them by
mail , liy n comparative table of the
condition of the treasury ct the cloae
of September in cieh yonr of the laat
four yoara , the most noticeable change
is the increase in gold coin and bul
lion and Btandard silver dollars 911
hand and in eilror certificates out
standing. In 1880 gold ran down
nearly $27,000,000 , but thia itocreaao
waF > much moro than overcome in 1881 ,
when it increased moro than $41,01)0- )
000 the highest point over attained.
The groHB assets of the government ,
including funds held for the redemp
tion of the gold , silver and currency
certificates , are $331,981,210.11 , hav
ing increased moro than $04,000,000 ,
during the laat year and being larger
than any corresponding year since
1878. Thia increase ia duo in chM
part to the doposita on account of nil-
ver certificates , which amounted dur
ing the year to $45,000,000. Thotrwm-
urerstates that , while fraelyfurniahiug
now United State * notes in redemp
tion of old notes and national bank
notes , ho has endeavored to husband
the supply and IIBH of gold , standard
silver dollars and paper certificates in
payment of demands. The practice
has been to make 10 per cent of
all payment * in silver dollars or cer
"t * tificates , 40 per cent in gold coin and
50 per cent in notua. To thia there ia
an important oxnuption in the New
York clearing hoiiso ; payments by the
treasurer to this institution , amounting
$25,000,000 a year , must bo made in
gold coin or in United States notes.
Aside from any personal views OH to
the expediency of reviewing the ailver
( dollars , the treasurer thinks it unwise
for any branch of the government to
encourage an arrangement by which
thia coin has been made legal tender.
The treaaurer also nays tlmt unless
calamity elmll overtake the na-
tioii t1oro : seems to bo no probability
of a run upon the reserve of the treas
ury , Ho aas , too , that whatever
percutilaye of reserve will protect
United States notes will protect other
liabilities. Tlio treasurer is of the
opinion th.it n uniform percentage
should _ be Riven for all current
liabilities otiier than three classes
of certificates , mid that the excess Of
cash in the treasury blmuld bo expend
4 < d from time to time in the purchaser
or redemption of the public debt , ac
cording to some definite and jiublicl ;
announced plan. Should this bo don
the policy of the department woulc
cease to be the subject of speculatioi
and the inllticnce of the treasury
would bo reduced. The amount o
standard silver dollars coined to Sept
30 , 1881 , was $118,332,905 , of whicl
§ 32,373,42(1 ( , or nearly 33 per cent. , ia
in circulation , and $ G5KiO,27 ! ! > remains
mains in the treasury. There was :
largo incieaau in the filver certificates
in circulation N < i gold certificates have
been issued since December 1 , 1871
although the law authorizing their is
BUO is mi repeal ed. Tlie clearing
house eertillcates at the close of the
year amounted to 811,015,000 , the
smallest amount outstanding tit the
close of any fiscal year since their is
sue began in 1873. The iimount o
fractional silver coin in the treasury
now stands at $20,343 , < > 77.57 , an in
crease of $1,010,581.41) , ) in the lasi
year , but a decrease of § 952,009.4(5 (
since August. The amount of minor
coin now on hand is $552,585.06 , , as
compared with $100.300.22 on Sep
tember 30th , 1880. Regarding the redemption -
demption of national bank notes the
treasurer thinks , aside from the niero
difficulty of apportioning espouses ol
redemption , that the power now pos
sessed by national banks of throwing
up circulation at will was a wronj.
principle , unnecessary and dangerous.
If a bank finds that ita issues are be
ing ledeerncd so rapidly aa to destroy
profit the obvious remedy is to refrain
from issuing redeemed notes and to
retire themas permitted by statute , in
sums of. $100,000. The treasurer
ureca the restoration of former salaries
of the treasurer's oflice.

NEWARK'S FAILURE-
The Kncnlvcr Tr lc Foiscfulon No-

K&'ttoaM AawcUUxl 1'rws , '
tNK\VA K , N. J. , September 3. By
dint of constant inaiatance the story of
the defaulting cashier obtains sonic
credence. The statement of the Uni
ted States distiict attorney is that ho
fully believes it will necessarily carry
some weight , but the Newark people )
in general are strongly of opinion that
any theory of Chr'iM. Nugent using
Oacar Italdwin ia such an inversion of
all probability that much positive oyi-
denco will bo needed to sustain it.
They refer frequently , lo propound
the truth , that "the tail never wags
the clog , " and refuse to believe that
the lost $2,500,000are wandcringabout
in sheep akin. The evidence , so far
as there ia any , is ait the other way.
It was an open1 secret Ion" ngo that a
brief warning to the mechanics of
Newark to look out for it wan put in
writing and given to a detective firm ,
on the point that the audiior wns con
stantly dealing in Wall Btreot and
known to bo ao reported by persona
whoso legitimate business culled them
there ; it w.is . an open fcerot about the
furlivo "ticker" and telephone ia
Newark ; it was also an open eecrct
that persons were urgently warned to
eell Mechanics shares , _ nnd
that Bomo shrewd holders , without
external warning , did in fact sell , be
cause they thought the stock pretty
high. S > mo of these sales were per
haps made on account of theatrical
management developments , which ap
parently received no attention from
the directors , though long since ia
pi int. Some of thorn are certainly
duo to that. It ia almost sure that
fresh revelations are yi t to come. The
rumors that the directors of the Me
chanics' national bank , or some of
them , will make up the required sum
and continue thohusincasof the bank in
thought to have some foundation.
The directors are amply able to do
thia. They are men used to the good
opinion of the" world , necessarily Honsi-
tivo to the unsparing comments of the
public and press , and acutely aware
oftheir present painful position. It
is , therefore , quite likely they are seri
ously conBidprHig'soino of the many-
plans inenlitmcd of nmtpting the bank
to credit 'andf"usefulness. Receiver
Frelinghuyson took possession of the
bank this morniiiL' . His appointment
is favorably received. He will take
no active part in the management
until the examiner hai concluded hia
report. The appointment followed
the failure sooner than is customary
on account of the numerous civil suits
projected , which became imperative !
immediately upon the receiver taking ;
possession , but which are first liens
when brought before that event.
Iho failure of Denis Osborn , grocer ,
ia not considered a serious affair. No
other failurea are reported , and nonu
lire expected nt present.
