Report Of the Commissioner of Internal Rev

GtlUP,
In this important Report, it will be
seen that in the fiscal year ending june
80, 1868, the sum Of one hundred and
ninoty-cno million dollars was collected
from internal revenue, the expense Of col.
Letting which was FIVE per cent. The
heavy items in the account are the taxes
paid on the indulgence Of popular appe-
tite. The amount received, for instance,
from the tax on chewing and smoking to-
bacco was, in round numbers, fifteen mil,
lion dollars. Add to this the cost Of pro.
duction and dealers profits, which is est
mated to be FIVE times more than the rev.
enpe tax, amounting to seventy-fve mil
lions dollars. All the railroads. paid togc-
Their less than seven millions, the III
surancc companies less than two millions,
and the telegraph and express companies
a5t a million between them, so that chew
ing and smoking tobaooo--9ug small vices,
as they are calle5---arc really "hiegcr
things in the Commissioners report than
all the railroads, tclegraphs or express
and insurance companies in the Unitod
States taken together. The number Of
cigars taxed was six hundred millions.
1t is calculated as many more are used
through smuggling, making a grand total
yearly expenditure in tie United States
of one dnndred and GRy million dollars
for tobacco alone.
VIII not some Philanthropist discover
some remedy for this enormous and useless
waste of money? Only think of it, one
hma1dred and yGtty million dollars anmu-
ally thro,cn array! This would soon liqui-
date our national dept. The question
recus, where viii antidote be found for
this greatest of eyils.-Neir York Herald.

RUsAwAY ACCIDENT IN JOHNSON.
Friday Eve. last, as Noah Scribner was
driving into johnson village from the
Hyde Park road, his horse became fright
ened at saw-lcg near the Normal School
building, lodged aud tipped over the cut
ter, throwing Mr.. Scribner and Miss
Pike who was with him out without inir-
ry to them. The horse then ran at fu-
rious speed, through the upper part Of the
village, until, as he passed fence corner,
he ran piece of board into himself a
length of 90 inches, which killed him al
most instantly. 1t was the most valuable
horse of his well known pair.

Christmas in Cambridge.

This pleasant anniversary was duly
celebrated in this town. In the north part
of the town where there has been a sabbath
school in successful operation during tue
last summer, arrangements were made for
q "Chaistmas Tree" and exercises by the
children.
There Were two trees arranged on each
size Of the mnin entrance, filed with such
vayiety of gifts that it would be in vain
for nc to attempt to enumerate them
The children did themselves great credit
both in spe aking and singing. Among the
gifts was large gilt bible, a present from
the schocl to tho superintendent. The
preacher and his family were not forgot
ten, as, in addition to many ether things,
they received $40 in cash.
The sabbath school and its friends at
Cambridge Boro' also celebrated Christ
mas with appropriate exercises, and gift
trees.
The trees were arranged on each Of the
pulpit, the limbs forming three beautiful
arches. From the center Of the main
arch was suspended beautiful castor, a
present from kind frienus to Mrs. Web
ster. The trees contained presents to the
amount of about $3.50, in the disbursing
Of which, many fell 70 the pastor and his
family.
Among them vas a package Of money

We are happy to learn, as our read
ers may by reading the report of the Sec
rotary of the Agricultural Society, that
the farmers - the agrieuiturists- - have
taken the management of the Society into
their own hands. We say this with no
i'll feeling towards the former managers Of
the Society. We say it because we hon
estly believe that the Society needs re-
formation, end such reformation as only
our most practical agriculturists will be
likely TO inaugar2te. We hail this ac-
ton OF the Society as happy augurY fer
its future success and advancement. We
shall expect to see very decided impreYo-
ment in all the departments which tend
to make SUCH an organization really beno-
fetal to the pc9ple--the farmers and man
ufacturers Of the county. After further
consultation with some of our agricultural
friends, We shall venture a few suggestions.
Meantime we hope meeting will be call
ed at an early day, when the interests Of
the Society wiIl be freely and irtelligently
discussed. We are informed that the late
meeting to elect officers was quite full,
and That the officers elected, were elected
upon the vote of no single lord, but by a
round T."

FAILuRE.-Some of our readers may
be surprised at the failure Of S. B. Buxton,
merchant, eff this village, and others may
not. Mr.. Buxton went into business here
about two years ago, with about $4,000
cash capital, and most of'the tine has
been doing what appeared TO his neigh
bors as prosperous business. The sched-
ule of bis assignment made on Saturday
last, shows liabilities to the amount Of
nearly six thousand dollars, and assets to
the amount Of nearly thousand dollars
less than liabilities. As the concern is
not known to have lost any thing in spec
ulations, not having dealt in produce Of
any kind, there is naturally some specu-
lation as to where three thousand dollars
Of original capital, and, at a moderate
computation, an equal sum in profits has
gone to. The general belief being that
has robbed Mr. Buxton. Orlo
Cady, Esq, of Morristown, is the assignee.

ENRON or UNION AND JouRSAL:-

EprroR or UNION AND JoURSAL:-
At the present time, when the business OF the
Jenartmcuts has assumed a colossal magnitude,
and decisions rendered by the heads Of bureaus,
affect millions, instead Of thousands Of dollars,
il Is Of the greatest Importance that omeers OF
SUPERIOR executive ability occupy these respon-
sible positions. The Hon. J. NJ. Brodhead, III
COMPTROLLER Of the Treasury, decided some
months aro that officers were not entitled to the
difference between gil and SIG from July LIST
1864 1.-THE date when privates' pay was incrcas.
ely to March 81, 1855, the date when servants
pay was increased. Col. Gilmore Of your State
presented the claim, contcnding that the In
crease Of privates' pay also increased the pay
of servants, and the Comptroller decided against
the claim. Col. Gilmore instituted SUIT In the
Court Of Claims, and obtained q favorable de
cision. Mr.. Brudhead, considering the claim
unjust, was instrumental in getting an appeal
from the decision, and short time since Chief
Justice Chase gave the decision Of the Court,
sustaining the Second Comptroller, and thereby
saving the government some I've millions OF
money.
Mr.. Brcdhcad from his position. upon the
ground that he Was not in sympathy with the
present administration, but his previous record
disproyes all such statements. Among his most
earnest friends were Senator HAmlin and the
late Senator Pesscnden. Senator Hamlin most
earnestly repudiated the charges made. and I'D.
yocatsd his claims TO the position. and stated
very plainly the great loss the government
would sustain by his removal. Had there been

The Legislature.

The legislature will assemble next
Wednesday and therefore in few days
the anxiety of those who hang on public
favors, viii be at rest. The organization
viii be completed promptly although for
the heaviest offices there are several can
didates. There are three candidates for
the position of President Of the Senate t:
VIM. Ii. Bolster of Oxford, Stephen ID.
Lindsey of Somerset, and L. III. Gushing
of Waldo. Oxford had a President Of the
Senate from rs to l6, in "a and &c
Waldo in 80. and Somerset in go. The
contest will be between the first named.
In tho House Reuben II. Foster of Water
willie, and A. Il. Farwell Of Augusta, are
candidates for the Speakership, with the
chances in favor Of the former; Kennebeo
had tho Office in '5S, 80. '6l and 'Gj-
waterville twice and Augusta twice,
those two towns having tho only ambitious
men in the county.
The Secretary OF the Senate having been
elected n member, the Assistant. MIR. Lane
OF Augusta, will doubtless be promoted.
The clerk with his Assistants Of the House,
will be reelected. The present McSscn-
ger has served ten years and 1t is right
and proper that the place should be given
To another. which will probably be done.
Mr.. Drew is candidate for reelection Us
Secretary Of State and. there being no
other candidate. will be unanimously elect
ed. Gen. Murray was appointed to fill II
vacancy in the position of Adit. Gen., and
we learn Of no other candidate. The
present Atty. Gen. Frye, declines TO again
bo candidate. and Edwin b. Smith of
Saco and Thos. b. Reed Of Portland, both
young men and men of ability are candi-
dates. Without doubt Mr.. Smith is superb
or rs n lawyer. indeed. it is questionable If
he has many superiors rs technical law
yer now pr..cticing ut tho bar in this State.
There can bc doubt of his eminent qualifi-
cations for the position. Hon. Lot NJ.
Morrill, will be elected TO fill the unex-
PRED term Of Mr.. Fessendcn, without OPP
position. AMI We venture to predict that
no county will throw u more solid vote in
that behalf than will Old York. r
