INTEBNAL BEVENUE. The receipts from int revenue sources | for the present fiscal year, commencing July | 1, 166), op to the 12th mstant inclusive, amount to the beavy aggregate ef 157,000,000. This ives an average of over $950,000 per diem for | nearly s:x months past, or one-half of the fiscal yearof i867. If this average should continue tor the balance of the year in question, the total revenue received from this source alone, inde- Pendent o! the customs and other sources, will | reach the enormous sam of nearly $250,000.000— much greater than the aggregate for the fiscal year I¢68, which amounted to $36,000,000.
