we are satisfied that the statements published from
time to time to the effect that the Offices at Philadel

delayed, are wholly Incorrect. On the contrary, we
believe the business to have been done without any
material delay, aud that the force on duty at the
points named AS well as at other principal offices,
has been composed OF men OF 1rst-rate ability"
