DSTWe call attention to the prospectus
Of the Pittsburgh Commercial, in another
column. The Commercial is an excellent
newspaper, in fact, we prefer it to any of
the Philadelphia dailics in this respect. The
truth is, we don't think the Philadelphia
daiies have anything to 'brag on. j" IF we
were going to subscribe for a daily paper
We would prefer the Pittsburgh papers, be-
cause they reach us earlier, and contain
more condensed news.

Of the generals commanding the military
departments compelled General Grant, in
lieu of condensing these lengthy documents,
and thus making full report to the Secre-
tary Of War, TO give them as they were r.
ceiYed In the brief preface, however, the
commander Of the army states that 1t has
been necessary to keep military force in all
the lately rebellions States to insure the eX-
ecuton OF the law and to protect life and
property against the acts OF those who as
yet will acknowledge no law but force; but
that the condition Of those may be regarded
as such as to warrant the hope that in a
short time the bulk Of the troops now occu-
pyiug them can be ordered elsewhere. He
suggests chat the Indian Bureau be transfer

Report of the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue.

Mr.. Rollins, the Commissioner Of Inter
nal Revenue, reports that the amount re-
ceived by him, in 1860, less amounts refund
ed for drawbacks, is 1910, 3SI, 1900 being,
ninety nine millions and odd beyond the
receipts Of 1865. This, in face Of some
reduction in the rates of taxation since last
year, shows that the country has been very
active. In regard to the subjects Of taxa
ton, and the returns made there are some
interesting facts. The taxation on banks,
dividends, circulation, deposits, capital, &c, !,
produces 81 ,64l, ,i6l II, being ST, ,2SG, ,9lS
rs less than the receipts from the same
sources In 1865. Railroads bring in about
the same sum as in 1865 Insurance
Companies increase a hundred thou
and dollars or So Salaries Of persons
in the service Of the United States,
increase the taxation from that source near
ly million of dollars Revenue stamp
receipts have increased nearly four millions
of dollars. Licenses, or special tax, increase
fge millions and half The income tax is
increased over forty millions Of dollars.
Iron aud steel, Notwithstanding a reduction
this year yield considerably more than a
million and quarter beyond the total
ceipts from those articles last year. Petro
leum and coal oil increase two millions aud
a quarter The increase upon segars is not
quite four hundred thousnd dollars. Chew
ing and smoking tobacco increase three
millions and three-quarters. Eermented
liquors increase a million and half, and
distilled spirits thirteen millions, notwith-
standing the wide spead evasions of the
law
Inrcgard to the estimated receipts for
the fiscal year, it must be remembered that
much of the increase reported for 1886 was
under the late law, and there will be mate
rial reductions. Taking a full view of the
subject, the Commissioner estimates that if
there is no change in the law as it at present
stands, the receipts for 1867 will be
two hundred and eighty-fye millions dol
lars
Mr., Rollins makes some suggestions as to
amendments Of the law. One Is that the
returns upon income and carriages, gold
watches, &c, mentioned in Schedule A,
shall be made earlier than the present time,
which is the first Monday in May in each
year He recommends that butchers,
plumbers and gas filters shall be assessed on
their sales the same as dealers He also
recommends that the exemption of income
liable to tax shall be increased from 5000 to
$1,000, with a ike exemption to officers of
the United States Government who pay a
tax on salaries There IS much interest in
the workings Of the Internal Revenue de-
partment, and the subject is clearly present
cd by Mr. Rollins.

P. S. Having learned through some sports
men, that Pilgrim first letter gave pain to
certain Conservative ladies, because we were
not eaptiyated by the style Of beauty exhibi-
ted by women whom we passed on the ''rug-
ged highway" when we passed through that
land Of Beuiah and also because reference
was made to children, wearing mature S
moccasins." In explanation, it may be
proper to remark, that the ladies referred to
were not arranged in their ''sunday-gear. -
Had we have seen the assembled beauty Of
the State, in their best costumes, with crino.
line and waterfalls, we would have written
differently ; but as a faithful chronicler, we
simply painted the scenes as they passed be-
fore usin the panorama. Should our refer
ence to the children, cause parents and guar
diars to furnish them with shoes and stock
ings, against the present inclement season,
instead of being censured, "a should be hail
ed as benefactor Pilgrim wishes to be at
peace with the soathamptonians and with

IN this result win labor to conserve she legitimate
fruits of this grand benignant victory by render
ing Liberty and Opportunity the common heri-

Diseountsnancing all unissnly exultation over
or needless infection Of pain or prvation on the
upholders Of the lost cause it will insist on the
earliest possible restoration of the Southern States
to their former power and influence ia our Union
on the basis Of All Rights for All their People
1t will labor in hope to prove that the substitu-
ton of Free for Slave Labor must inevitably and

Thrift, Prosperity and Wealth, SO that the South.
within the next ten years, must look back amazed
on her long persistence IN practice so balsful as
tho ehattelizing Of Man.

especially throughout ths sections hitherto devoid
Of them believing that every good end will there
by be sabseryed and the interest of every useful

IL viii urge the Protection of Home Industry
by discriminating duties on Foreign Products im-
ported, with view to drawing hither the most
eapaDie ana skllful artihcers and artisans of Eu-

branches Of production hitherto all but confined

portunities thus afforded them.
1t viii devote constant attention to Markets, es-
