INTERNAL REVENUE.
Report of the Commissioner.

WASHINGTON, November 25 The annual
report of the commissioner of internal reve-
nue. is received. Receipts of internal revenue
taxes will, during the present fiscal year,
reach ll5 millions. During three years
there have been three thousand seventeen
illicit distilleries seized. In order to provide
ample force to suppress Illicit distilling, Gen.
Raum recommends an appropriation of Sl0,-
coo as q deficiency to be used during the
present fiscal year. During the year lending
June 80, &c, SIP, 449, 62l of internal revenue
taxes were collected. Receipts from distilled
spirits for 70 as compared with IS show an
increase of S2l 1916
He speaks of the improved condition of the
service in regard to receipts; in respect to
the character and efficiency Of officers en-
ployed; in respect to the disposition Of tax
payers to observe the laws and in regard to
public opinion in reference to the enforce
ment of the laws. The marked improvement
in receipts for the past four months in the
face of great reduction of tax on tobacco,
gives promise. There has been 6,363 per-
sons arrested for illicit distiling, and p Off
GERS and employees killed and 4S wounded
while engaged in enforcing the internal reve-
nue. laws.

From the report of the Comptroller of the
Curi ency Knox it appears that the total num-
Der of national banks organized from the
establishment of the national banking sys-
TEN, February 26, 1873, to November Of
the present year, is 243S. OF these 3O7 have
gone into voluntary liquidation and 81 have
been placed in the hands of receivers, leav-
ing 2050 in operation. Since the last report
SO banks have been organized with an sggre-
gate capital of SO, 595 900, to which $780,
40 in circulating notes have been Issued.
Thirty-eight banks, with an aggregate CAPT
tai of 81, 100000, have voluntarily discon-
ued business within the same period, and
banks have failed, having total capital Of
81, O40, 900.
The total number of banks in the country
on June IA, was $500, with . total banking
capital of 656, 4S5, 1893, and total deposits Of
81, 1913, 526,474. The capital Of various
classes of banks has diminished from
S7I9. 400, 900 in 1872 to 1856 SOC, 600 in 1879.
and the aggregate deposits have fallen on
from 81, O75 300 900 in 1876 to 81 500, 500, 900
in 1874 reduction of S62, 800, 600 in capital

of the United States, from its highest point,
on August 81, 1865, to November l, 1879, il
$3.50, 1856, 1914, on which amount &l05, l60, 900
was accomplished since the refunding opera
tons were commenced on May l, 1871. At
the highest point the annual interest on the
debt was Sl5O977 ,697, while It 10 now
$S3, 773,77S. There has, therefore, been .
total reduction in this charge Of 367 ,20S, sl9.
The total annual reduction of interest under
these refunding operations since March, 1877,
has been Sl4,297,l76, while the saving ON
this account, growing out of the operations
of the present year alone, is %, 800, 707, and
the total annual saving in all the refunding
operations of the government since 1871 10
SIS, 9O7, 6O7. These funding transactions are
believed to be without parallel in financial

amount is $50 millions in excess of the high
est amount reched between the times of sus-
pension and resumption.

mittee.

New ORLEANS, November %. Rev. Jere-
miah Blackstone. colored, testified, contra
dieting the statement of Bernard Williams,
that he (Blackstone) was paid with others
$500 by Kellogg, in Washington. Did not
see Kellogg until he was notified by COM
mittee that he would not be called to testify.
Also denied all knowledge of the afiidavits
referred to yesterday by Seymour, but was
offered $500 by Dix, who was working in
Spofford's interest if he (Blackstone) would
furnish information to GUST Kellogg. Black
stone denied that he received money from
Kellogg or any of his friends, or that he made
any payments as set forth in the so-called
affidavit. Witness said the signature to the
affidavit was his, and the only way he could
explain it was that he went frequently to the
Office Of the claim agent, Dix, and signed
papers as q witness and did not see the con-
tents.
John Vigers, ex-recorder Gastinel, and
Solomon Marx testified to the general bad
character of Bernard Williams.
Emanul Heidenfelder testified that Bernard
Williams was tarred and feathered during the
war, and afterwards was court martialed and
sent to House island for stealing horse.
Ex-Recorder Eugene Staes testified that
Bernard Williams during the war was
drummed through the streets with half his
head shaved.
w. J. Moore, formerly assistant supervisor
of registration in the seventh ward, testified
that by the registration lists the republicans
had natural majority of nine hundred in
that ward The republican members of the
legislature were elected whether the polls
were thrown out or not. Know there was =
quorum present in the legislature when KEEL
logg was elected No fraudulent registra-
ton were used. Had conversation with Pc
ter Williams. Led him to believe had been
discharged from the custom house. Object
was to ascertain what the democrats were do
ing. They wanted to make the strongest case
they could before the committee, but
Kellogg had to go. 1t was a foregone con-
clusion that the object of the committee in
coming here was to look up a plausible ex.
cuse for BUSTING him.

For day or two the coasting has been
quite good and the children have improved
it. In many cases the places selected by the
boys and girls for sliding are dangerous,
especially on Court street hill, which is very
steep, and where the sleds run across the
railroad track and into Water street In
crossing the track they are liable at any time
to run into a train or an engine, and in
Water street they are in danger of encoun-
tering team or passer by on the sidewalk.
The children will not learn that they are in
danger till they are so taught by some sad
accident.
