Inview of the fact that 1872 bas been, in ‘many respects, a remarkable year in the his- tory of Chicago and of its institutions, the Directors of the Merchants’, Farmers’, and Mechanics’ Savings Bank again printthe An- nual Report of the Menager. The winter of 1871-1872 was long and severe; the henviest 8nOW storm was on the 7thof March, naviga- tion opened late and sailors were consequent- 1y unemployed longer than usual, and were obliged to draw considerably upou their accu- mulated fundd. The firo of Oct. 8 ard 0 ren- dored many depositors homeless, and all of this class who hiad funds in the Savings Baok found ample use for the same in restoring their dwellings. The Bavings Bank was en- abled to assist many such with loans, os will appear from the following analysis of the real estate loans now held: LOANS ON TMPROVED REAL ESTATE. ing... Loata dug Jas, 1, i Average arount of eac! 1,255,085 Namber of porsans frotn B Proportion of this amount loaned security... 520 o0 8100 ‘The Manager is not aware that the Bavings Bank has everlost a single dollar, either of principal or interest of money loaned upon real estate during eleven yoars of business; and it is rarely necessary tc make forced col lections. No loans are made on mere per- sonal security. ‘The scason of 1872 was o very active ono in all departments, especially in the building trades; 1,214 permits for the erection of sub- stantial bujldings wore jssued by tho Board of Public Works, and the buildings are most- ly completed. Ithas been estimated that the amounted to the average construction of one stone or briok edifice per day, not to speak of the many less substantial and smaller buildings. Though there were somo disagresments between employers and employees, resultingin strikes” moro orless serious, on the whole the men were fully em- ployed and received remunorative woges. The accumulations of those who were dopos- itorsin this institution are indicated by the ollow-ing: RECEIPTS AND PAYMEXTS RACH MONTH, a) 8 January. ¥ebra Total amount reccived paidduring the year...

At the same date bal- ances were clnseified as follows: Although the number of open accounts is now larger, the proportions as given above are not changed. Owing to a very consider- able reduction in the price of passage to Eu- rope, and other causes, mauy of our Irish, Bcandinavisn, English, and German deposit~ ors, like many others, 2re now visiting their old homes and spending the winter among -old friends. Itis cxpected that this move- ‘ment will have & tendency to stimulate im- migration duridg the coming year, and wiil otherwise be productive of good results. The prevalence of the horsedistemperearly in November, which for a time caused a total suspension of traffic upon the streets and al- most a complete suspension of business, threw many depositors out of employment and threw them upon tho resorves held for them by the Savings Bank, notwithstanding all of which more money was deposited than drawn during every month of 1873, except~ ing the month of March, when the drafta excoeded doposits by about $3,000.

Thero will doubtless be good opportunities for investing during the winter. ‘The system of doing business and of making investments ia based upon the experience of Bavings Institutions that havebeen in opera- tion more than half a century, standing firmly amidst all the vicissitudesof wars, confiagra- tions, pestilence, financinl crises, and depres- sions. During the eleven years of business exporience which this institution has hag, it has passed through like experiences, and it is believed that its course has been satisfactory to depositors, whose number had never incressed so rapidly as it has since the great fire of last year. ‘Printed by order of the Board of Directors for the information of depositors.

CONTRADICTORY DEBT STATEMENTS. ‘Wasnivatox, D. C., Jan. 2.—There has been considerable comment here to-day in financial circles over the monthly dobt statement and bal- ances put out by the Treasury Department. This statement is ususliy ready for the reporters at about noon, but to-dsy nobody scomed to know anything sbout it. A raid was then made by the news-gatherers on Chiot Clerk Saville, who, after considerable figuring, mado out a de- creaso in the public dobt for Decomber of $18,000. Just then Treasurer Spinner’s state- ‘ment came in,showing an increaze for the mouth of ©1,864,000. As an explanation for the vast discrepancy, it wss suggested by the Treasury officials that thero were different waya of bookkeeping indulged in by the various heads of Departments. Chief Clerk Baville aaid it would be proved upon examination that this differenco was eutirely attributable to the ex- pendituro accounts, which had no uniformity in the system of keoping them. He then proceodod to ehov that whilo 38,000,000 bad been paid into the Troasary on acconnt of Internal Rovenue receipts, bat £8,000,000 there were credited, tha present statoment, by resson of not being cov- cred in the final balauce for the month, thus bearing $2,000,000 o the crodit of the forth™ coming montb, It was fully explained that the tax on National Banks had niot yet come to hand, wwhich would also largely tend fo make & reduce tion instead of an increase. The statoment that the Internal Revenue receipta for the month did not come up to anticipations does not agree with tho statement of the Commissioner of that Bu- Tenn, which was telegraphed in those despatches » fow daye ginge. ‘The latter aaid that the re- ceipts from this source had been considerably beyond all calcalation since the new law went into effect. INBPECTION OF CONSULAT AFFAIRS. Tboregort of Randolph Keim, sgent of the United Btates for the inspection of Consular Affairs, was presented to tho Secrotary of the 'Tregsury to-day, and witl ba copied for trans- mission'to Congrees, The report embraces an epitome of Mr. keim's investigation of the Con- suls of the United Btates in Japan, China, the East Indies, on the consts of Africaand Sonth America, tho British Isles, and conntries of Con- tinontal Europe. Apponded to the Teportisa bill for the roorganization of the Consular ser- ics, entitle “A . bill to estab- lish a Consular service for the United States of America, and to amend and consolidate sundry acts of Congress relating to the powers_snd duties of Consular officers.” Tho chief features of the bill are the establishment of a Bureau of the Consular Sorvice, under a Superintendent of the Consular Servico. ~All Cone: offices, in matters of accounts and of a commercial nature, are mado officers of t¥e Treasury Department. In the exercise of ical functions and diplo- ‘Tmatic power they.cotrespond with the Depart- ment of State. 0'bill provides all the details neccssary to an effectusl management of the Consular office. The first. part provides for the organization of the mervice abroad as follows : Two Consul Generals at $7,500 ; ton Consul Geperals at $6,000 ; & certain num- ber of Consuls of Class 1 at 4,000 a year ; Class 2at 3,000; Class 3 at $2,500; and Ciaas 4 at £2,000. The total number of full officers is about 144, Consul Generals have supervisory powers over officera in their jurisdictions. The allowance for rents and office expenses is fized at 20 per cent on the salary. The provisions for the clerk hire are charged to a certain oxtent on fees inexcess of a year, with the necessary allowance of 32,500, at » maximum of §3,500 a year. Tho present pro- visious for the rolief of dostitute American gea- ‘men is changed 80 asto place a tax of onoc-half cent per ton of registered tonunage on vessels enteriug a foreign port, to be collected by tha Consul, to Le placed to the credit of the fund for therelief of destitute American seamen inforeis ports. Important provisions are also m: ‘with regard 1. the verification of invoices, and in the oxercise of jndicial functions. The bill contains about two bundred sections, and covers the whole subject of the Consular service, its effective sdministration at home, and effective organization abrond. Thoreport s bill will b submitted next week. THE RAWLINS STATDE. There is s lively fight in progress among tho several artists who submitted models and pro- 8als for the Rawlins statue. Fisk Mills pub- iohies a criticiam on the model of Bir. Baily, of Philadelphis, which has beon sccepted by the Commissioners designated by Con- ss, whorein he says the modol Topresents a spindle-shanked man seven feet in height, with a coat-tail which his posteriors hardly recognize, standing in an_swkward atti- tude on dnlfi 26 a private, and looking for all the world like a rebel_Genoral,—no protensions to & likenees of the nobls Nawlins. lao short, & figare unworthy to stand ‘s centre-pieco of & fountain at the capital of the nation. Concern- ing his own model, Mr. Milla modestly remarks that it is s minature copy Of that represented life-size on horseback, which was executed safter sccurate messures, and a cast which they prepared from the face of General Rawling' life-size model has been judged and prononnced & faithful likeness in form, features, #od proportion by those who Xmnow the Geperal and were with him on the bat- tle-fleld. Preparations for the inau core~ monies continue, and, from present indications, there will be a more brilliant display than ever before. A special feature is to be made of the military parade, which, it is expected, will be of such s character as has not been witnessed since the grand review of 1865. Tho force at Forta McHenry, Foote, and Washington will partici- pate, and large volunteer acoessiona are alroad: gmvirled for from New York, Pennsylvanis, an faryland. THE NEW ARMY UNTFORIL By the 4th of March the army will bs clothed in the new uniform, which is very like that of the Prussian_army. The officers who called at the White _Keualyalterflny wore this uniform for the first time. It is very showy, and the lumes for various branches of tho service are lesignated by different colors. The Colonels’ is of dark blue, blue cloth, double-breasted, with a skirt extending from one-half to three-quarters of the distance below the hip and the kneo. Staff officers wear psnts of dark blae cloth, without stripe. Other officers wear light blue })nnla, with strips of similar color to that of the acings of the respective arms, except for in- antry officers, whore the stripa is of dark blue. General Bherman wore two rows of buttons on the breast of his coat, placed in fours. He wore epaulets, and his plutts consisted of thres white ostrich feathers, Other Generals and stafl officers wore three black ostrich feathers, and regimental officera wore plumes of horse hair or cock's feathers, of & color similar to the trimmings of other coats. General Sherman and the general staff oficers wore chapeaux. Light artillery and cavalry officers had black felt helmets with gold cords and tas- sels and gilt tr'mminga. Other ofticers dark blue cloth hats. ABY DELAYO. BECRET It seems that the health of Becretary Delano 18 now in & more promising condition than it has icane Dailp Teibune, been for many years.

A Buit at 15w 25523 betwoen the actor Lingard and his manager, Spaulding, of this eity, which was to-day decided by the Circuit Court in favor of tho former, for 31,355, Lingard clatmod that Spaulding had not pad his (Lingard's) shate of the profita of a siz woeks' copartnership. Spaul- ding’s defenco was that Lingard had rofused to plsy at some placea for which ho was billed,— exington, K., Cleveland, O., and others. THE SOUTHERN CLAIMS COAMMISSION roasgembled to-day and heard the claim of Jos. R.

A strong effort is to ba made by General Van Buren and others intcrested in tho American dieplay at the Vienna Exposition, to have the Seaate mcrease the cppropriation for this pur- pose already voted by the Houss. The appro- pristion as It now stands -only amounts to 50,000, which is considerably less than the sum given for the Paris Exposition.

Aulick, s son of the Commo- dore, diex very suddenly at his father'sresidence in this city o fow months ago, the family beliov- ing be was unmarried. On the following morn- ing, & youug lady, employed in tho Treasury Departmont, known as Miss Oler, on bearing the announcement of his death read from a newspaper, fainted, and it was soon made nown that the deceased was hor husband. In October, the will of Aulick, made in Philadel- phin in 3fay, was filed in the Probate Court, by which he foft his pmperg, consisting of ten shares of the Cincinnati Gaslight Company's stock, noarly 830,000, to his widow. His father filed a caveat to the will, and tho Judge orderad that issues be made for trial at the Circult Court. When tha case was called to-day, counse] for Commodore Aulick said that, in con- goquence of pevers sicknoes in 1571, the family believed the disease hadaffected the young man's mind. The validity of the marriage was admit- ted. In explanation of the caveat, counsel said that the stock was received by tho deceased trom his father, Jan. 8, 1864, to whom he gave a py) abligating himself that he would noither sell or diepose of said stock during the lifetime of his father without first consulting him. - He was a young man who was under & eolewcn obligztion to Bis father, and yet he broke that obligation. Not being armed with - that degree of evidenco Which would warrant his going to a jury with a probability of muccess, they Twere un- willing that the frailties of this young man should bo dragged from B theirdread abode. He would further state that,after conferricg with the family, they cheer- fully agreed not to interpose objections to the probata of the will.
