The Internal Revenue.

We published the other day the income of
| the Government from the internal revenue
collected during the last fiscal year, in this
| Congressional District Advance sheets of
the Annual Report of Commissioner Lewis,
enable us to give some idea Of the manner
| in which the Internal Revenue Act has
worked throughout the country at large. -
! The report itself is necessarily prolix, con-
near three hundred pages, but it is model
in the way of perspicuous arrangement, the
STATISTICAL tables showing at a glance all
the facts of interest.
The exhibit made is very satisfactory and
encouraging. 1t appears that the receipts
for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1864,
were nearly three times those of the proceed
| ing ten months. Corrections in the law and
increased thoroughness in it's execution, &C.
count mainly for this increase, and the re-
turns for the present month show that still
greater increase even under the present law,
| is certain.
The receipts for January 1866 up to the
| Goth instant, amounted to over 1928 900. 900
or exceeding a million day, and it is coming
| fidentIy expected the receipts of the present
fiscal year will be more than double those
of the last.

all sources during the fcsal year ending June
