The annual report of United States Treasurer Gilfillan, submitted to-day, shows that during the last fiscal year the receipts of the government show an increase over 1880 from every source. The increase in receipts from customs was 811,637,611.42; from in- ternai revenue, $11,225,011 59: from sales of public lands, §1,180,350.57; from misceilaneous sources, $3,117-; 702.01; total increase, $27,255,681. 69; which, added to the net reduction of $6,930,070.19 in expenditures, makes an iverease in tho surplus reverus of $34,185,7561.78 The mnet revenues were £300,782.292 57; net eoxpendit- ures, $260,712.887 59. The excess of receipts over payments was $100,00¢ 404.98, of w ich §90,882,261.06 wuas expended inthe redemption of the pub- lic debt. increased $48,667.603 93, from §203,- 791,321.88 at berinning to $252,457,- 925.81 at the end of the year. The amount expended on account of in- tereet and premium on the public debt ran down from -898.662,805.53 during the year 1880 to $83,669.989.- 96, a reduction of $14,982,905.567 during the year. Sixty four national banks were organized, and tweuty went into voluntary liquidation, leav- ing 2,136 doing business at the close of the year. Thers were no national bank failures during the year. The semi-annual duty accruing from the national banks during the year was £849,355,250, all of which has been collected and paid at the close of the year. There was held by the treasury in United States bonds §360,- 505,900 as security for the circulation of national bank depositories. During the yoar $276,899,700 in bonds were deposited for these purposes and $277,- 527,350 were withdrawn. exceeding, by far, the transaction of any former year. These chauges are chiefly due to the increases of 6 and 6 per cont. bonds at 34 per cent., in pirt by the substitution of continued bonds for 4 and 4} per cents. States bonds amounting to $8,634,060 wero rotircd during the year, The aggregate amount retired by pnrchasa, redemp- tion, conversion and exchange trom March 1, 1869, to the close of he fiscal year is $1,983,344,800. Coupons from United States bonds of the value of $227,976,675 were paid cur- ing the year. Quarterly intorest on rogistered stock of funded loans amounting to 84.445,679,0 7 was paid by means of 305,101 checks, drawn and payable to order of the respective stockholders, and sent to them hy mail. By & comparative table of the condition of the treasury at the close of September in each yesr of the last four years, the most noticeable change is tho increase in gold coin and bul. lion and standard eilver dollars on hand and in silver cortificates out- standing. In 1880 gold ran dowa nearly $27,000,000, but this docrease was much more than overcome in 1881, when it increased more than $41,000,- 000 —the highest point ever attained. The gross 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 more than $04,000,000 during the last yoar and being larger than any corresponding year since 1878. This increase is due in chisf part to the deposita on account of sil- ver certificates, which amounted dur- ing the year to 845,000,000 The treas- urer states that, while freely furnishing new United States notes in redemp- tion of old notes and national bank notes, he has eudeavored to husband the supply and use of gold, standard silver dollars and paper certificates in nayment of demands, The practice L.As been to make L0 per cent of all payments in silver dollars or cer- tificates, 40 per cont in gold coin and 50 per centin notes. To this there is an important exoeption in the New York cloaring house; payments by tho treasurer to this institution, amounting $25,000,000 a year, must be made in gold coin or in United States notes. Aside from any personal views as to the expediency of reviewing the silver dollars, the treasurer thinks it unwise for any branch of the government to encourage an arrangement by which this coin has been made legul tender. The tireasurer also says that unless somo calamity shall overtake the na- The balance in the treasury| lii'm horo seems to bo no protability of & run upon the reserve of the treas ury., He says, too, that whatever ercentage of reserve will protect Jnited Siates notes will protect other liabilities. The treasurer is of the opinion that a uniform percentage should be given for all current liabilities other than three classes of certificates, and that tho excess of cash in the treasury should be expend- od from time to time in_the purchase or redemption of the public debt, ac- cording to some definite and publicly announced plan. Should this bedone the policy of the department would ceass to bo the subject of speculation and tho influence of the treasury would be reduced. The amount of standard siiver dollars coined to Sept. 30, 1881, 05, of which 32,3783,42 ) 3 per cont., i in circulation, and £65,950,279 re- mains in the treasury. There was a large increasu in the silver certificates inecirculation. Nogold certificates have been issued since December 1, 1871, although the law authorizing their is- sue is unvepealed. The clearing house certiticates at the close of the yeur amounted to $11,615,000, the smallest amount outstanding at the close of any fiscal year since their is- sue began in 1873, The amount of fractional silver coin in the treasury now stands at $26,343,677.57, an in- crease of §1,619, 49 in the last year, buta decrease of $952,000.46 since August. The amount of miuor coin now on hand is §652,685.00, as compared with 8166 22 on Sep- tember 30th, 1880. Regarding the re- demption of national bank notes the trousurer thinks, aside from the mere difliculty of apportioning expenses of redemption, that the power now pos- sessed by national banks of - throwing up circulation at will was u wrong principle, unnecessary and dangerous, If abank finds that its wsues are be- ing 1edeemed 8o rapidly as to destroy profit the obvious remedy is to refrain from issuing redeemed notes and to rotire them,as permitted by statute, in sums of §100,000. The treasurer urges the restoration of former salaries of the treasurer’s office. PURCHASE OF SILVER. WasHiNGToN, Sentember 3.—The treasury to-duy purchased 460,000 ounces of fine 81 ver, to be delivered to the Philadelphia, New Orleans and San Francisco minta. OCTOBER PATENT OFFICE RECEIPTS.

McRae sent n considerable -ufl;‘ o Mr. Charles O’Connor to defend Mr. Davis and other confederate . loaders who were threatened with prosecution by the federal govern- ment.

NEWARK'S FAILURE- The Recriver Takes Possession—No Important Developmonta. Adonnl Associated I'ross, Newark, N. J., Septomber 3. —By dint of conatant insistauce the story of the defaulting cashier obtains some credonce. The statoment of the Uni- ted States district attorney is that he fully believes 1t will nocessarily carry some weight, but the Nowark people in general are strongly of opinion that any theory of Chris. Nugent using Oscar Baldwin is such an inversion of all probability that much positive evi- dence will be necded to sustain it. They refer frequently, to propound the truth, that ‘‘the tail never wags tho dog,” and refuse to believe that the lost 82,600,000 are wanderingabout in sheep skin. The evidence, so far as thero is any, is aii the other way. 1t was an open secret long ngo that a brief warning to the mocfinnicx of Newark to look out for it was put in writing and given to a detective firm on the point that the cashier was con= stantly dealing in Wall street and known to be so reported by persons whose legitimate business called them there; it was an open recret about the furtive “‘ticker” and telephone in Newark; it was also an open secret that peraons were urgently warned to soll Mechanics sharea, and that some ehrewd holders, without external warning, did in fact sell, be- cause they thonght the stock pretty high. haps made on_ nccount of theatrical management developments, which ap- parently received no attention from the directors, though long since in print. Some of themn are certainly due to that, It is almost sure that fresh revelations are yct 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 thebusiness of the bank is thought to have some foundation.
