GENTLEMEN-The return Of the 18th Of Novem.
Der reminds us that the time has come when an
annual report Of the operations OF this Institution
is required. In reviewing the work Of the past
year we find abundant cause for congratulstiOn
and encouragement An unusual degree of
health, a gratifying list Of recoveres, very few
deaths, entire exemption from accident, high
standard OF discipline, thorough and consCien-
iOus devotion 10 duty by all our servce-oficers
and employees and the kipd and jndicious CO..
operation OF your Honorable Board, have all
tended to enlarge the circle of our success, and
swell the tiGe of that prosperity which has borne
US so smoothly through the year. Our success has
not been due to any one circumstance, or TO the
efforts Of any particular person. but like the har-
monious workings of ell the organs of healthy
human body 1t has been the result Of the united
and harmonious efforts Of all. And have taken
occasion to acknowledge the profound gratitude
/ feel toward those who have so kindly and eff.
ciently aided me in the prosecution of my duties.

ST. Louis, Sept. 5.-The statement
made in some dispatches that post
master Filley was removed without
cause pronounced untrue by frieads
of the Administrator, who are. in

peatedly violated the civil service or

trolling primaries and conventions
and interfering with the rights of
people, in such organizations and in
trigues which are directly in opposi-
tion to the policy Of the Republican
party as represented by the No. state

had been determined to make : cam.

circular to be distributed through

From the Hnrlinaton FlawkAv>

We announce this morning q new
list Of appointments for Senator kirk
wood. The Senator Is speaking with
great force and effectiveness, and Is
everywhere greeted with large audi
ences. Wherever he speaks the re-
publicans are reused to enthusiastic
work for the cause. Many of our re-
publican friends who were for time
labOring under the greenback delusion
have had the scales brushed from
their eyes by Senator KirkwoOd's
able presentation Of the truths Of po-
litical economy. He Is dealing sledRe-
hammer blows at all the popular de-
lusi0ns Of the day and wherever he
speaks he adds largely to the repub-
lican vote. We are glad therefore to
announce. the large number Of ap-
p0intments elsewhere given which
will fill up all the time until the elet-
ti0n. The speeches will do great
good. They are bringing us not only
victory this year but triumph In 1850.
The arguments are unansWerable and
unanswered. Senator KirkWood dis.
cusses the question Of the day with d
vigOr and earnestness that carries con-
viction and we are glad he Is devOtinR
80 much time and labor to the cause.

The report of the Comptroller OF

that In eleven years, from 1866 to 1876,
both inclusive, the national banks
paid In taxes $183, ,469, 1877 .66. About
one-half of this, $93, Us, ,7sS, was paid
in taxes demanded by the states in

Gated; the other half or proportion
was paid in taxes imposed by the
Federal Government. ey',4
If these banks should be abolished,

I, PANAMA, Aug. THE elections on
August 4th in Bogota were accompa-
MED by serious disorders. The State
Government wished to control the
elections and they only established
four polling places 10 the city Of 50,-
GOO inhabitants, and put those under
control of their own people. The
adherents of the other party could not
get near the ballot boxes to deposit
their votes. Confusion and disorder
naturally arose, as party spirit was
very much excited. State troops post
ed themselves in the towers Of neigh
boring churches and fred upon the
crowd, killing one or two and wound
ing several. This broke up the cleo
tion, and as all the votes cast are in
favor Of the Stats Government party,
they have fully succeeded in carrying
the day unless Congress should order

is . desire to seclude themselves,

In 1872, after the wild storm OF
treason had burst upon the nation and
our country's destiny hung balancing
on the precipice of dissolution; when
the union forces had been driven back
or defeated, ard when it seemed the
rebels might be victorious and the ma
ton destroyed; when our country was
bleeding and PROSTATE; when the
rebels were jubilant over their victo-
ries, and their allies and sylnpathizers
In the north were bold and defiant
In, their efforts to cripple the nation,
by discouraging enlistments, abusing
the president and our military leaders:
heaping epithets upon the soldiers
and denouncing them "a, hirelings,
plunderers and thieves; boasting Of
the bravery and skill of the rebels,
and laughing and rejoicing at the de
feat Of the union forces 1T was the
duty Of every man to come to the
support of the nation, either by enlist
ing in the army or supporting her al
home, by his influence at least. II
was then that President Lincoln ap-

how did they respond to the appeal q
that great and good man, Abraham
Lincoln, and the cry for help that
came up from our soldiers who were
already In the field? Capt, Fee. theu
about % or % years old, cast his infiu.
