nard Myers.
Nj Colfax was introduced BY Mr. Prcsdau,
hcMichael, at half past eleven o'clock. Nine
cheers we're given the honorable gentleman, tf ct
which he responded IN speech Of great power
and o'oqucn,e. lie thanked the President for
the kind remarks he made respecting him, but
more particularly for those IN reference tl th b
great and noble state OF In ilnl; and he did not
know that hg had ever heard q better speech tlnu
perhaps The one made by the people of rhuldel
phia at the election iu October, whom they spoke
with the tongue Of lightning that Philadelphia
had given 5000 majority for the Union aud that
four Congress men hld been rn elected.
The honorable speaker then gave lrIuil 1. Iloo
a. The effects Of the election In NJyem .nr, which
resulted IN the election of Abraham Lincoln for
tunr years more. lie took up the var DIS points
thai were acted upon by the people il ruG.r
majesty. /! was decided the war was not failure,
and tnHt II must De prosecuted with y.rOr, tulf
the Union framed by our fathers mus. ua main.
tancli that no alien Tag should float u .uy irt
OF 'h1 country; thar slavery, the mother %. his
war, must b. put down.
lie hoped that in the course o. a fgv week an
opportunity would be given the minority t1 r3st
their sincerity that the slavery question lHscI
only eleven votes at the last session o. she 'Dns
tu;ional majority VtwO-thirds vOtel; that -nC9
that period The people have spoken, and 91rsv-oue
districts represented in the last Con ross by gen.
temen who yO,el no had rlurlcl % hers Who
would vote ave. rms Is the verdict oi tbs r-eat
American people. Ii the minority are sincere,
then the pathway to peace Is made easy. NJ
CuilN, in the concluding part OF his remarks
paid q glowing tribute e. Generals Grant. Shrri-
dan, Sherman, Thomas, and others, the army
and navy, and finally concluded by quoting the
patriotic maxim THE Union now and forever,
one and iusCpardble.'
His remarks were received through lut w..l the
greatest applause

period 70 $40 patients have been relieved, Dt whom
Ij,oSS were supported partially or wholly NJ the
expense Of the irstitGGon. These heuoHJs have
been conferred without regard 10 birthplace rs
may be seen from the following In the last ten

the former.
In the gear endinS April, lH54, the number OF
n0n-paying patients under treat nent, exclusive
OF those who paid nominal board, was 1J6i
while for the corresponding year of ls6! IL was
lili, or nearly dOube-A largo proportion Of this
increase being due 90 the numerous cases Of ac-
c.dCnts injury which are 50 much more frequent
than formerly, and more prOtrdc.ed and cNPen-
styc in thcr treatment
The expenditures for the former year were
Nlj,ibl2ji for the latter year they amounted 70
T39 CAB GS, or considerably more than twice as
much.
The endowment, therefore, which may have
answered tolerably well ten years ago, is mani
tostly far short OF what is absolutely necessary
now 10 save the hospital from falling 10 perform
its ordinary duty after an eyenttth history OF
mOIe than a century's duration, in the course Of
