C- The Receipts and Expenditures During the Past Fiscal Tear. The annual report of Hon. Joseph S. Miller, commissioner of internal revenue, shows that the total receipts from all sources of internal revenue taxation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1885, were $112,421,121 as compared with $121, 590, 039 for the year 1884, $144,553,344 for the year 1883, and $146,523,273 for the year 1882. It was estimated that the re ceipts for the last fiscal year would be about $115,000,000, and that they fall over $2,000,000 short of the esti mate. The commissioner says this resulted from the seven months ex tension allowed for the exportation of distilled spirits in bond, on which tax was due He adds: There are now about 7,000,000 gallons of dis tilled spirits abroad, which to find a market will have to be reimported. This, with more than 10,000,000 gal Ions that had on June 30, lasr, been in bond for three years or longer, under the seven months extension, afforded an ample margin for assum ing that the receipts for the current fiscal year would aggregate at least $115,000,000. THE YEARS COMPARED. A table giving the receipts during the last two fiscal years, shows that there was a decrease of $9,394,177 in collections on spirits, and an increase of $244,688 on tobacco, an increase of $145,827 on fermented liquors, and an increase of $24,5o8 from banks and bankers. The total decrease was $9, 168.919. The largest collections were made in the State of Illinois, amount ing to $23,075,865; Kentucky second. with $14,842,475; iNew York third, with $13,823,645: Ohio fourth, with $12,565,516; Pennsylvania fifth, with $7,371,209; Missouri sixth, with $6,s 276,165, and Indiana seventh, with $4,031,866 The collections m Virgi nia amount to $3,051,639. The small est collection! was made in Vermont, amounting to $29,890. The total re ceipts for the first quarter of the E resent fiscal year were $28,660,749, eing an increase of $23,866 over the collections of the corresponding pes riod of the previous fiscal year. The cost of collection for the past fiscal year was $4,455,430 against $5,076, 914 the previous year. The total ex penses of the service the past year were about 3-9 per cent ot tne amount collected. THE CONDITION OF THE SERVICE The commissioner reports the gen eral condition of the service to be good, and that the collectors and sub ordinates show commendable zeal in the performance of their duty. Six hundred and twenty-tour violations of the internal revenue laws have been reported during the year, 234 persons arrested, property to the value of $171,052 reported for seizure, and $52,869 tor assessments ror uns paid taxes and penalties. He recom mends an increase in the number of revenue agents. The estimated ex- peases of the service for the next fis cal year are $4,biy,l9U. There was a reduction of 926 in the force of store keepers, saucers: etc, during the year, and a reduction of 28 in the clerical force of the bureau. The number o? stamps issued to the col lectors during the year was 506,508,- 339, of the value of $123,388,856. THE TOBACCO INTEREST. The report of the tobacco interest for the last fiscal year shows gratify ing results. Not only has there been a small increase in the amount of taxes collected, but a marked increase of manufactured products, and an unusually large increase of the quan tity of these products exported to foreign countries. The whole number of grain distil leries registered tne past year was 1,195, ot wniori only vu were oper ated, being a decrease of ninety-six of the number registered, and 160 in the number operated during the pre vious fiscal year. The commissioner invites special attention to the necess sity of legislation, having for its ob ject the taxing of all fractions of a gallon of distilled spirits, and says the operation of the present system of taxation has resulted in the loss of a very appreciable amount of reve nue. The commissioner also recom mends that the provisions of the act of March 3rd, 1877, under which grape brandy producers are afforded the advantage of three year's storage of their products in special bonded warehouses, which are authorized to be established for that purpose, be made applicable to the distillers of brandy from all fruits. The commis sioner says he is informed that cert- tain manufacturers are successfully using wood naptha in their business, to the detriment of others employing tax paid grain alcohol, and the pro cess of deodorizing wood adopted has been so far perfected as to render it possible to employ it in many arts and trades in place of ethyl aicohol, without detection and possibly wi h equal advantage. The quantity of spirits produced and deposited in ihp dis'ilWv warehonsp-i during the year is 520,376 gallons leas than the pre vious? year. The quantity of sfiri:s withdrawn, tax paid from the distil lery warehousea during the year is 10,673,153 gallons less than the prs ceding year. The quality of distil led spirits in the United States, except what may be in the customs bonded warehouses on the 1st of October, 1885, was 90.107.026 gallons, distri buted as follows: In the distilling and special bonded warehouses, 47, -502.534 gallons; in the bauds of ih wholesale liquor -de :-I5,256.7i;: gallons; in the hands of the retail liquor dealers. 27.347,700. In making the above computation, the average stock of each retail liquor dealer in the United State is estimated at 150 gallons. WE CORDIALLY INVITE 111 Visitors M Public at Large To call on us and STATE HEWS. Be Convinced that Wilson Mirror: The Orphan Asy lum committeeSof Mt. Lebanon Lodge last Monday night report that in ad dition to the one hundred dollars in cash raised on the occasion of the or phau's entertainment, contributions m kind, amounting to more than $150 were sent to the Asylum within the ast few days. Wadesboro Times; We regret to earn of the death ;ot Dr. Van Linds ey, which occurred in Nashville, Tenn., on Sunday last. Dr. Lindsley was raised here, where he has many relatives Our Morven correspon dent says last Saturday evening Tom Pratt and Amos Little, both colored, while returning from a hunt made an agreement to shoot at each other. Whereupon Tom discharged a heas vv load or sauirrei snot into tne fleshy pari of Amos' thigh. During the last ten days the Vein Mountain Company, of McDowell county, ha6 taken out $12,000 worth of gold ore, one nugget weighing two and three-quarter pounds. Pieces worth from $d0 to $150 were not un common, in one no lr and a bait nine hundred dollars worth of ore was found Biblical Record : The success of the Baptist Orphanage Association is most remarkable. Brother Mills has succeeded beyond the expectations of his most enthusiastic friends in raising money for the building and grounds, and will soon be ready to receive orphans. The location and buildings meet the hearty approba tion of all who have seen them, and in a year more the Baptist Orphan age will be one of the mose substan tial and prominent institutions in North Carolina. Wilmington Star : Owen Richard son, colored, convicted at tne recent term of the U. S. District Court in this city and sentenced to one yeai's imprisonment for using the U. S. mails for fraudulent purposes, has been sent to Albany, (N. Y.,) Peni tentiary to eerve"out his sentence Yesterday in the Criminal Court, the case of the State vs. E D. Hall, et al. came up for trial, but was continued for the defendants, and Mayor, Board of Aldermen and'Board of Audit and Finance, were individually recogniz sd in the sum ot $50 for their appear ance at the next term of the Court. In this case the city is indicted for maintaining a nuisance on Bruns wick between Sixth-and Seventh streets-an ill-governed ajid disor derly house known as Brooklyn En gine House. Wilmington Review : The official board of Front Street M. E. Church met in quarterly conference at the church parsonage last Saturday night and passed resolutions unanimously requesting the Bishop, who will pre side at the State Conference, to re turn Rev. Dr. Yates as pastor at Front Street and Rev. P. J. Carra way, as Presiding Elder of Wilming ton District. The meeting was inter esting as showing the fact that all the demands upon the church had been fully met and that it was good and healthy in financial condi-. tion, notwithstanding the hard times of the past year. It seems that Front Street M. E. Church wants no change ministerially and has plenttv of change financially, which is about as happy a condition of things as could well be imagined. We are pained to record the death of Capt. John L. Wooster, which occurred at his resi dence. No. 217 Dock street, at 10 o'clock last night, at the age of 54 years.

Miss Kate Field lectured in New York Saturday night on the "Vice and Treason of Mormonism," giving her observations during a recent vis it of several months to Utah. A more fiendish paper than the "Reve lation" of Joseph Smith never existed If it had not been for Vermont, con tinued the lecturer, there never would have been such a thing as Mor monism. Brigham Young, Joseph Smith and Heber C. Kimball, and the founders and shinning lights of the Mormon Church, were natives of Vermont It seems just, therefore, that Senator Edmunds, who was also born in that State, should have framed the recent law against poly gamy.
