The Internal Revenue bureau.

The Commissionsr Of Internal Revenue has
completed his report, and has submitted 1t to
the Secretary Of tho Treasury.
Much fault has been found with the Com.
missioner and his assistants, in reference te
the difference between the collections and tn,
assessments, especially so far as the whisky
distillstion is concerned, but we fnd, BY In.
quiry. that the collections have been we'll ar
ranged.
David A. Chambers, esq, Of Ohio, who ha.
charge Of the Bonded Warehouse Division oi
the Internal Revenue Department, has re.
turned to the city, after months leave Of ab
sonce, and is actively engaged in his Office in
completing the returns as far as the ooIec.
tors and assessors have made them. Mr..
Chambers has but small force In his bureau,
and the checking and passing of tho various
reports occupies much time. It Is q remark.
able fact that millions Of dollars Is lost to the
Government by the breakago of high wines
while in bonded WAREHOUSES. All these ac.
counts and discrepancies must bs overlooked
by Mr.. Chambers and his corps Of assistants,
and it will be theme Of interesting comment
in future edition to note the various dis.
crspancies claimed to their benefit by di,til.
lers and Manufacturers.
