On the 4th instant, Commissioner Raum,
of the Bureau of Internal Revenue, submit
ted his report to the Secretary Of the Treasu-
ry, showing that during the past fiscal year
$125,9S1, ,9l6.10 of Internal Revenue taxes
had been collected and that the entire sum
had been paid into the Treasury. During the
past four fiscal years the total amount of tax,
es received by the Internal Revenue Collec'
tors, was $467 ,OS0, $3.50, and the entire sum
has been paid into the Treasury. The cost OF
collection has beer about per cent. The
great bulk of taxes were paid promptly, with
few penalties and without litigation. Frauds
in most of the Districts nave been reduced to
a minimum. During the past four years
we'll sustained effort has been made to sup
press the illicit manufacture and sale OF
whisky and tobacco in number of districts
in the Southern States where, for many. years
these practices had been rife. During that
period 1874 illicit stills have been seized
7,O7S persons arrested for illicit distilling, %
officers and employees have been killed and
SIS wounded while enforcing the laws. Frauds
upon the revenue have been greatly reduced
and violent resistance to the law has practi
cally ceased in all of these districts, except
the Second District of Georgia.

THE PRIMARY PLAN.

AS will be seen from the result of the elec'
ton last Saturday, elsewhere announced, the
primary plan of making nominations has
been adopted by the Democracy of York
county. We would have been glad had there
been larger vote, yet in comparison with
the aggregate vote cast, the majority is suf:
iciently emphatic 60 place it beyond the shad.
ow of doubt that the result is in accordance
with the sentiment of majority of the Dem
ocratic voters.
The plan of making nominations having
been decided upoH, it only remains for the
details of conducting the primary election to
be arranged by the County Convention to as
semble on the 21st instant. In the adoption
of these rules, we apprehend but one serious
question will be presented, and that is as to
whether the plurality or majority rule shall
be adopted and we throw out the hint in ad-
vance, that the people may mature and dis
cuss the subject thoroughly, so they may be
enabled to instruct their delegates as to their
wishes. Both rules have been tried in some
of the counties which have adopted the pri-
mary system but it has been found that the
plurality rule has given the most satisfaction,
and in some cases where the majority rule
has been adopted, it was afterwards discarded
for the plurality. By the plurality rule is
meant, simply that rule governing all popu-
lar elections, that ne who obtains the largest
vote shall be declared elected; and if it OBJ
tains in the final decision, there is no just
reason why it should not be equally satisfac
tory in the selection of candidate Many
objections could be urged against the majority
plan, the most important of which is the un'
certainty of making a nomination at the first
election, while by the plurality plan the decis-
ion can be made with equal fairness at one
balloting.
The executive committee, in session last
Tuesday, passed the following resolution:
Resolved, That che Convention to assem-.
BILE on the 21st Of August, be requested to
consider and decide upon the following ques-
tions rendered necessary by the primary
mode of making nominations:
l. Amendment of the county constitution
to conform to the primary plan of making
nominations.
2. Whether appointment Of representation
in county conventions shall be from precincts
or clubs, and the number of delegates to be
allowed to each.
8. The adoption of rules to govern primary
elections.
4. The obligation to be required of candi.
dates for office in the primary election.
5. Whether the plurality or majority rule
shall decide.
6. Time Of holding the primary election.
In the meeting Of the Executive Commit
tee, the probable dste of holding the primary
election was only incidentally alluded to, it
being considered subject properly for dis
position by the County Convention. 1t is not
likely, however, that it will be ordered before
the latter part of September or the first part
of October.

HANCOCK,s LETTER TO SHERMAN.

The letter about which 80 much has been
said, written by Gen. Hancock to Gen. sher.
man, in December, 1876, is now given to the
public. Sherman wrote Hancock on the 9th,
and again on the 18th of December, 1875,
asking his views on the political complica'
tious, and Hancock replied in frank, out.
spoken manner as an honorable and faithful
officer would write to superior with whom
he is on confidential terms. The main por-
tion of his letter is devoted to discussion of
the Presidential complications of 1876, and
be takes the ground that in that question
there should be no military interference. At
ter making the point that the military should
be subordinate to civil authority, which sub
iect he treats at considerable length, he pro.
ceeds to the condition of affairs at that time
existing in South Carolina, and says:
I was not in favor of the military action
in South Carolina recently, and if General
Ruger had telegraphed to me or asked tor
advice, would have advised him not, under
the circumstances, to allow himself or his
troops to determine who were the lawful
members of State Legislature. l could not
have given him better advice than to refer
him to the special message of the President
in the case of Louisiana, some time before.
But in South Carolina he had the question
settled by decision of the Supreme Court of
the State, the highest tribunal which had
acted on the question, so that his line Of duty
seemed even to be clearer than in the action
in the Louisiana case. If a Federal court
had interfered and overruled the decision of
the State Court there must have been doubt
certainly, but the Federal Court only interfer'
ed to complicate, not to decide or over rule.
Any how, it is no business of the army to en-.
ter upon such questions, and even if it might
be so, in any event, if the civil authority is
supreme, as the Constitution declares it to be,
the South Carolina case was one in which the
army had plain duty. Had Gen. Ruger

ACCIDENTAL DROWNING.

Last Sunday afternoon two colored lads,
Robert Wright and Edward Jones, aged about
ten and eight years respectively, went to a
brook just west of town for the purpose of
bathing. The spot to which they went has
been during the summer place of general
resort by the boys for bathing, being ''wash-
out' on the edge of an old field by which the
stream runs. Usually it is not deep, but the
recent rains had washed it out until water
was in it to the depth of S or feet, though
judging by the surface of the water with the
banks, it did not appear to be more than the
ordinary depth of three or four feet. The
boys were evidently unprepared for this depth,
as the supposition is that they waded in from
shallow point, and before they could be aware
