The ATLANTA EXPOsITION.-Alr. s.
Inman, the treasurer, has given the At
lanta Constitution some figures which,
while not absolutely accurate, are SO
nearly 30 that when the final report is
made they will not vary 10 any material
extent. The capital stock, or, in other
words, the subscriptions, amounted to
$l07 900, the gate money to 5000, and
the privileges, entry fees and other
sources of income, including the sale of
the buildings, amounted to from $4,000
to 100000. The sale of the buildings
and other property at the close of the
Exposition netted $27 900. Tie total
receipts of the Exposition from every
source may therefore be put down at
S263, 900 in round figures. The disburse.
ments amounted to $26OO00. 1t may be
said that this will leave about three
thousand dollars to be returned to the
stock subscribers. at an ordinary glance
it must appear that the Exposition cost
its projectors and friends a cool hundred
thousand dollars. 1t must be remem-
about one third was subscribed by rail-
ample in the form of advertising the re-
sources of the lines subscribing the sew
eral amounts. OF the cities subscribing
the lead was taken by New Yo.6 with o
subscription of about twenty thousand
dollars. Her railroads subscribed an ad-
ditional ten thousand. Cincinnati came
next with $500 and the other impor-
tant subscriptions were Baltimore,
$4,800; Philadelphia, $4,000; Boston,
$4,000; Augusta, $500; Charleston,
81 900, and New Orleans 81 900. Savan-
nah did not subscribe anything. Among
some unsettled claims against the Expo,
sition Company is that of Benjamin
Kelley, q workman, who has brought suit
for So, 900 damages for injuries received
by the fall of a building in the construc
tion of which he was employed.

INTERNAL REVENUE REDUCTIoNs.-
A dispatch from Washington, dated
March Is, says: The sub. committee of
the House Committee on Ways and
Means in charge OF changes in the in
ternal revenue laws to-day agreed to re-.
port bill to the full committee to.
morrow, which will recommend the fol.
lowing internal revenue reductions, &c.
On whiskey, from 80 to so cents per gal.
lon {; on malt liquors, from 921 to 60 cents
pc: barrel; on tobacco, snuff, &C., from
16 to 10 cents per pound; on cigars, from
Sc to 81 per thousand; on cigaretts, from
$l.75 to go cents per thousand, also re-
ductiOn of about so per cent. of the
special taxes now imposed upon dealers
in the above mentioned articles. The
sub. committees report will also recon-.
mend the repeal of the laws which al
present impose taxes on the capital and
deposits of banks, bank checks, matches
proprietary stamps ON medicines, cosmet.
les, perfumeries, &c. An estimate, based
upon the internal revenue collections Of
