THE ANNUAL REPORT of the Com
missioner of internal Revenue presents
this department of the government in
most fourishing condition. The re-
port has not as yet been presented to
Congress, but from synopsis the fact
is ascertained that there has been a
general increase in the revenues from
all sources Notwithstanding the hard
times prevailing during the period
covered by the report. 1t is the opin-
ion of the commissioner that there are
now no combinations against the COVER
nment to defraud the revenue, the
lesson of the past having been salutary
in its effects.
The Commissioner closes his report
by saying: "After careful consider
alton of all these figures | venture to
express the opinion that the receipts
for the current fiscal year will be S120-
o00,000 If no change is made in
the rate of taxation it is fair TO assume
that the percentage Of increase of tax
es for the fiscal year ending june 80,
1878, will be equal to the percentage
of increase Of the population of the
country, and such increase of taxes
might with safety be put down at So,
100000, giving the estimated aggre-
gated collections for the year ending
june 80, 1878, at S123, ZOO. 900.

THE GREAT Democratic convention

THE GREAT Democratic convention
called to convene at Milwaukee the
18th inst. to resolve" has been, and
to-day is a thing of the past. The
country survises, the sun rises with its
right and left bowers in the character
of Sunday, the stars shine just as
brightly; Old Boreas bull-dozes the
railroads with snow drifts if so he
gettetch his tail up" gold goeth
down to 106, and men come and GO
but the little brooks 90 on forever, and
yet that convention of patriots has
been, and now is no mere. Wonder
full wonderful Mr.. Hewitt called
upon the people to rise above party
feeling, and how the people did rise
The Twin Brothers Yeast Powder
could not have produced greater re
suits. The ''wah" and ':goah" Dem
ocrats rose to a man, and though they
we're assembled ostensibly to determine
how to decide the yexed question oil
the recent election, yet the first thing
to understood was, Tildcn as elected
ais was the predicate. Anything
that Congress might do which would
be an Acknowledgements of this alleged
fact would be all right, anything else
would be ali wrong. This was the
long and short of the purpose of the
convention There was about as much
patriotism in the convention, in the
. trucst meaning of that term, as there
is life in an Egyptian mummey. Par
tisan feeling was laid aside as one lays
off an Ulster in temperature Of 100
degrees below zero.
The whole utterance Of the Convention
was, when simmered down, -Tilden Is
elected, and if the House OF Repre-
sentatives shall be allowed to count
the electoral vote, it will be all right,
perfectly constitutional but if the
House is not allowed to declare the
result why, any other action will be
unconstitutional, and there must OF
necessity be "wah," for Tilden is
elected and the people don't propose to
submit to acSwpation. The whole text
of the convention proceedings was
this, nothing more, nothing less. The
people will look upon the Democratic
convention held at Milwaukee last
Thursday when it shall pass INTO hisso-
~, as a burlesque in politics and every
passing year will add to the stencil
arising from the bipartisan conven-
ton, which has been and is not. But
the country survives.
