Raum, Commissioner of Iuternal Revenur, will ask Cougress tu make an appropriation of $i5,000 to fncrease the efliciency of the collection fresv- fce, and especfally for the suppression of frauds in the mwanufacture of disiflled spirits. Gea. Raum, in askiog Congress fur this ad- ditional appropriation, will be able to show that the ricid enforcement of the revenue produces s much Jarger revenue. This s strikingly il lustrated by a comparison of the revenue col- lected last year in five of the districts where i1+ lieit distilling {s the most exteusive with the revenues collected In the same districts this year for the five months cnding Dec. 1. The dis- tricts where the tmoonshiucrs have condusted TUE MOST BXTRSDED OPERATIONS are the Fourth, Fifth, and Bixtls North Caro- Mna, and the Nashville snd Loulsville Districta in Teonessce. It was ot unti! this year that Cownissioner Raum had been able w organize a suflicfent civi) force to break up ilicit disthi- fog. It hasonly been during this year that an attempt has been mado to vizorously enforce the laws by the using of un entarged force. The result i3 very sizniticant, as spown Dy the fol- lowini comparison: The reccipts from the North Caroling alstricts for the five months of Inst year euding Dec. 1 were 8375,3343 for cor- responding pertod this year they aro $45,051. - IN TUR PIPTH NORTl CAROLINA DISTRICT Iast year for the same perfod the receipts were $354,004. This year, for the same perlod, under the new polity, they are 8552185, sn Increase of alimust, 8 quarter of a miliion of dollars. " In the Nixth North Carolina Distriet last vear, whichi is the mountai district, tho receipts were for flve mouths $100,854; this year, for &.cor- responding perfod, §130.800, 1n the Nashvlile, ‘Tenn,, Districe last year, $239,7465 This vear, 307,750, Tn the Knoxville, Tenu., District last year, $41,4535 thia vear, §45. . lu these districts ber of small lezal distilicries are now betnss estubllstied. - Tu the Sixth North Caroliva District ' fu No- vembuery 1677, there were ¥ TWENTY HONEST DISTILLERIES . . fn operation.

The report of the Buverintendent of the Horingfield Arsenal has arrived, It will show that the propusition to sbolish the vativusl armories is based upon unfounded and crro- ncous sssumptions; that the propusition tu bave all the arms used by Gorvernment made by vri- vate partics would be of great injury to the Guvernment and of benefit only to private mau- ufacturers, who woull be very certain to make aring azainet the Government and to demand any urice they nught please; beslden, they clalm that the Guvernment bus invested over 40,000,000 of dollars ju prrfected machivery of varlous Klinds, which would be valueless except for old metal should the proposition of the Ariny Com- wisslon be adopted. In addition to this s the tmmense vumber of millions fovested by the Government in ARSENAL DUILDINGS AND OHOUNDS and arms-wanufacturing estabiishments in dif- ferent parts of the country.
