There are now in Urbana, on Market
st., lot Of lame, halt blind and and
otherwise disabled negroes, besides
some that would be pronounced
h" sound" in southern market. A
Mrs. Hager has them under her pro-
lection, and wishes to'dispose of them
in such away that they may find good
homes. We give her the benefit of
this advertisement, and shall charge
her nothing.
If there were any great scarcity of
laboring men or women in this com
munity, and we had notified Mrs.
Hager Of our desire to receive an i'm.
portation Of southerners, we would
probably have expressed a preference
for sound white people. or at least
such colored persons as would be
able to serve well and faithfully those
by whom they should be employed
But bringing these disabled people
into our midst, and throwing then
upon the charity of our citizens is al
imposition upon the negroes, as vel
rs upon us, and ought not to be tol
Grated. The above we clip from tn

The Internal Revenue.

The report Of the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue shows that the ag-
rigatc revenue receipt for the fiscal
Of 1863, 1864 and 1865 were Sil,-
OO3, l92, 81 III $50 ,G72 aud s2l1, ,l29,.
30 their amounts being exclusive of
the direct tax of $40, 900. 600 upon the
lands of the country, which has boon
paid in various ways, and
the tax upon the circulation aud dc |
posits of the national banks. These
nmoun,s, however, inoludc the draw
back and the amounts refunded, the
drawback for the three years, being,
respectively, &GIT, lO6, sGS7 ,i3l and
s692 .6jj; aud the amount refunded
being, ss57 sos, 3237, 40 aud si22, g.
73i The principulsourccs of income
for the past year, and the amounts
realized from them are AS follows;
Income tax, s20, 1867 $40, against
sli,9lo,2 20 in 1864; licenses, Sl2,
39S ,69l, against 81, li5,3SS; stamps,
al, ,lG2, ,392, against 90 ,S9l, ,0i5 iron
and steel, S9,2l9,713, against $3,69i,.

300 ,I2l; tobacco, chewing aud smo-
king, sS,0l6, ,li9, against 81 ,09d ,GSi
lcrmcntcd liquors, 80 ,657 ,Ool against
81 ,223,7l9; distilled spirits, Sl5,-
995 ,G33, against s2s, ,i3l,7o7, The
receipts from each of these sources
with one cxception---distillcd spirits
show an increase over the receipts
of the preceding year The large
falling of in the receipts from distill
ed spirits is accounted for by the fact
that during the winter aud spring Of
1863 and 1864, distillcrs everywhere
completely gluttcd the market, in an,
ticipation of the higher rates of tax
alton. An increased revenue from
this source for the coming year is an
ticipatcd,
Judging from the receipts for the
first quarter fthc present fiscal year,
the commissioner estimates the re-.
ccipts for this year, with the present
law unchanged, at 1872 ,0OO 900. The
expenses of collecting the revenue for
the past year are estimated at = per
cent of the whole receipts, aud for the
present year at - per cent. The
commissioner makes but few sugges-
tious in regard to changes in the rev,
cnuo system, that whole subject being
in the hands OF especially appointed
commissioners. Ho recommends,
however, that no deductions DO al.
lowed in manufacturers returns, and
suggests that the maguitUdc of the
business of the revenue bureau nc
ccssiatcs incrcascdclcrical force, while
the Importance Of retaining expert
cnccd officers demands increased com
pcnsation for portion, at least, OF
the officers and employees.
