Commissioner Pratt’s Report.

Washinston, Nov. 11. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has completed his report for the fiscal year ended June 30,1875. The document is very voluminous, and shows that the actual amount of receipts into the Treasury from all sources from and after June 30, 1861, to June 30, 1874, exclusive of loans and Treasury notes, was as follows: Customs. - .$1,973,710,387 Internal revenue 1,956,828,725 Direct tax 14,810,189 Public lands 22,151,958 Miscellaneous. 236,081,985 Premiums on loans and sales of gold coin 198,557,117 T0ta154,895,688,341 The collections Jor the fiscal yeas ended June 30,1874, were $102,844,746; for the year ended June 30, 1875, $110,575,154. The Increase during the last fiscal year is owing in part to the increase of the duties laid by the act of March 3, 1875, upon distilled spirits, manufactured tobacco, cigars, cigarettes and in part to taxes collected under the laws repealed, extraordinary efforts having been put forth to collect delinquent taxes due from banks and bankers,-railroad and other corporations and-taxes due on Incomes, legacies and successions. A statement is given showing the receipts under the act of March 3,1875, up to and inclusive of June 30,1875, from different articles subject to an increased tax, showing the total tax returned $3,203,818. The tax returned upon distilled spirits was $1,779,799The net amounts received from all sources of internal revenue during the last fiscal year in the several States is given as follows: Alabama $111,816 Missouri $4,591,856 Arizona 10,263 Montana 23,666 Arkansas 71,828 Nebraska 292,472 California .... 2,988,595 Nevada. 53,147 Colorado 70,531 N.

The number of distilleries registered during the year war 4,736, and the number operated, 4,608. Of the number onerated 656 were grain distilleries, seven molasses distilleries and 3,945 fruit distilleries. . The Commissioner says public attention has been often called within the past few months to the extensive frauds committed in certain local it Ims upon the revenue by distillers and rectifiers of distilled spirits. He gives an account, first, of the checks, guards and protections against frauds established by law; second, of the manner in which the whisky frauds, so-called, lately exposed were perpetrated upon the Government; third, the extent of these frauds; fourth, the checks recently established to prevent a recurrence of the same, and, fifth, suggests legislation which, in his opinion, is necessary to insure a fuller collection in future of the taxes upon distilled spirits. The Commissioner gives it as his opinion that the only law necessary is one that shall make the requirements as stringent and the penalties for defrauding the Government as severe in the case of the rectifier as they now are in the case of the distiller. The rectifier should be required to give a bond in an amount equal to the tax represented by all the spirits he can possibly rectify each month. The house and tract of land upon which the establishment is located should be forfeited to the United States in case of fraud. He should not be allowed to handle any spirits at his rectifying-house except those he purchases for rectification and sells under rectifiers’ stamps. Under the present system of detecting frauds at least thirty days must elapse before discovery could be made and guilt fixed. As the apparatus in a rectifying-house capable of refining the quantity of spirits upon which the tax would amount to SIOO,OOO a month may not be worth more than SIO,OOO, it will readily be seen that under the present law, which only forfeits the apparatus and spirits owned by him at the time of seizure, a rectifier may aid in defrauding the’Government of SIOO,000 and forfeit only SIO,OOO. By absconding to a foreign country be also escapes criminal punishment.

The Commissioner is firmly of the opinion that the present large tax upon distilled spirits can be collected with but small loss. This opinion is based upon the fact that every Storekeeper, Gauger and employe who Is connected with a distillery where fraud is perpetrated becomes a pensioner upon the distiller. If, therefore, distillers be kept under such strict surveillance that the amount of money gained by fraud is not sufficient to pay a lajge corps of officers and workmen in necessary collusion with them to consummate fraud, they will, as a matter of policy, be honest. As an indication of the extent of the frauds above described the Commissioner reports that documentary evidence is in possession of his office which has warranted the seizure of 23 distilleries and 37 reatifying-houses, and implicated over 50 United States Gaugers and Storekeepers. This evidence also shows the issue between July 1, 1874, and May 1, 1875, of fraudulent spirits, by duplication, of 20,000 packages, containing probably 1,200,000 proof gallons, and by aid of false gauging to the additional amount of 1,000,000 proof gallons. This, he says, is but a portion of the fraud ■ctaaßfr-eommitted, but in itself indicates the loss of tax to Government in ten months o! an amount not less than $1,650,000. The receipts from all sources relatli.g to fermented liquors for the fiscal year were

$9,144,004, a decrease of $180,675 as compared with 1874. The number of brewers manufacturing fermented liquors is 3,784. The Commissioner expresses* of revenue. The number of cases compromised during the year is 744, and the amount received by compromise $156,876. - The total receipts from tobacco were $37,303,461, an increase over 1874 of $4,060,586, and an increase over any previous fiscal year of $2,917,158. The total amount of tax effected on tobacco and snuff from Sept. 1, 1863, to June 30, 1875, is $235,888,319. The total collections on cigars, cheroots and cigarettes the same time is $68,283,206. It is expected, that during the current year the assessments of tax on tobacco will be largely increased. The whole amount of taxes assessed during the year was $8,395,Q05; increase over the previous year, $344,435. The quantity of distilled spirits in warehouse July 1, 1874, was 17,755,969 gallons; distilled spirits produced during the year, 60,930,425 gallons; total, 78,686,394; total withdrawn, 65,819,141, leaving in bond June 30, 1875, 13,367,253. Spirits removed from warehouse for export for the year ending June 80, 1874, 4,060,106 gallons, while only 587,413 gallons were thus removed during the last fiscal year. The quantity of tobacco removed for exportation In bond without paying the taxes, 9,179,315 pounds, a decrease of 1,621,611 pounds. The Commissioner says the force of revenue agents is inadequate and recommends the passage of a law authorizing fifteen more. He thinks further consolidation of collection districts can be made without affecting the revenue, and that the system of gauging wholesale liquor-dealers’ packages by United States Gaugers can be dispensed with and a simple system of checks by stamps substituted, which will prevent overissue. He recommends making the violation of the law relating to friction matches a criminal offense, punishable by fine and imprisonment. He also desires that internal revenue agents be empowered to demand and obtain the Inspection of books and papers of distillers, rectifiers, brewers, wholesale liquordealers and manufacturers of tobacco, snuff and clajarg. ■ » The Commissioner estimates the collections of the present fiscal year from all sources of internal revenue at $132,000,000.

The Pacific Disaster—Two Hundred Lives Lost.

Sax Francisco, Nov. 9. A dispatch from Port Townsend this evening pays: Henry F. Jelley, supposed to be the sole survivor of the Pacific, brought here yesterday by the ship Messenger in a wretched condition, having been on a raft thirty-six hours before being picked up, says tiie Pacific collided with some other vessel, whose lights he saw, but in his interviews with Gilkey, Captain of the Messenger, lasting twelve hours, he made no mention of the lights of the vessel, and some think him laboring under hallucination as to that. Experienced navigators here think it more likely that she struck a sunken rock. Jelley makes a statement to the following effect: Took cabin passage on the Pacific from Victoria, leaving about a quarter past nine on the morning of Thursday, the 4th inst. There were about 200 people on board. Steamed all day against a southeaster, the crew constantly pumping water into the boats to triih the ship. The boats abaft the paddleboxes had no oars in them. The others had about eight or nine. In the evening, while in bed, heard a crash and felt a shock as if we had struck a rock. Heard something fall as- if rocks had fallen on the starboard bow. The bell was struck to stop, back and go ahead. Went on deck and heard voices say: “ It’s all right; we have struck a vessel.” Saw several lights at a distance but do not think they were colored; but paid little attention. Returned to the cabin and noticed the ship took a heavy list to port. Went on deck to the pilot-house and heard some one say: “ She is making water very fast.” The Captain was coming out of his room. Asked him if there were any blue-lights or guns. He said the blue-lights were in the pilot-house. Got them and burned five. Noticed the engines still working, but there was no one at the wheel. Went to the starboard side forward of the paddle-box where a number of men were trying to get the long-boat out, but could ndt. Went to the port-boat forward and helped five or six women into it. Tried to get the boat off, but could not move it- There were about twenty women in it Heard the boats abaft the paddles had got off, but did not see them. Think lt.W an hour after the steamer strucjt sriien she listed so much to port that the boat was in the water . I was in that boat. Cut loose from the davits, when the boat filled and turned

over. Got on her bottom and helped several up with me. Immediately after the steamer seemed to break in two fore and aft. The smoke-stack fell and struck our boat, and the steamer sunk. Think about fear drowned when the boat upset. This was about ten in the evening. The night was not dart nor the sea very rough, but a fresh breeze sprung up afterward. Left the bottom of the boat, and, with another man, climbed on top,of the pilot-house, floating near. The next morning I got some life, preservers, floating near, and with their ropes lashed myself and companion to the house. Saw three rafts; the first had one man on it, the next had three men and a woman; could not make out the other for the distance, exept that there were people on it. Think we were thirty or forty miles south of Cape Flattery when the vessel sunk. Passed the light on Tattoosh Island between four and five m the evening. Myself and companion were on the pilot-house all of Friday until about four p. m., when hB died, and I cut him loose. The sea was running very high all day, the waves washing over us. Soon after he died I sighted a vessel. Called, and heard the people on the other rafts calling, but the vessel did not come near. Friday night we had but little wind, but in the morning the wind and sea rose. Was then within a mile of the shore of Vancouver Island. Sighted two vessels on the American shore, which passed on. About ten o’clock Saturday forenoon the Messenger picked me up. Jelley stated, informally, that there was no terror or confusion on the part of the passengers, and that if the boats could have been launched and properly manned, the sea being comparatively smooth, all would have been saved.

The statement of Neal O’Haley, Quartermaster of the Pacific, rescued by the revenue-cutter Wolcott on the morning ot the 7th, is to the effect that there were over 200 people on board the lost steamer. He says: I saw a large vessel under sail, which they said struck the steamer; saw her green light distinctly. The passengers crowded into the boats against the commands of the officers. I, with the chief engineer, got a port boat forward into the water and got fifteen women and six men in her. She was capsized by the rolling of the ship. I saw none of them afterward. I supported myself by a floating sky-light about fifteen minutes, and then got on a portion of the hurricane-deck with some eight others. On looking for the steamer I found she had disappeared, leaving a floating mass of human beings. The screams for help were fearful, but soon ceased, and we were alone on the raft. There were the Captain, second mate, second cook, and four passengers, including a young lady. At one o’clock the next morning, the sth, there blew a gale from the southeast, the sea making a clean break over the raft. We lashed ourselves. About four a. m. the sea washed overboard the Captain, second mate, the lady and another passenger. About nine a. m. the second cook died. It cleared up about four p. m. I saw land fifteen miles distent, and a piece of the wreck with two or more on it. Aboutflve p. m. another died. On. the morning of the 6th another died, leaving me alone. About four p. m. a large, empty box floated near me. Got on the raft for shelter and slept soundly that night several hours. On the morning of the 7th saw land on both sides and was surrounded with float-kelp, which made the water smooth. It continued calm all day and night. At three a. m. I was rescued by the cutter.

Some of Stanley’s Discoveries in Africa.

The New York Herald of Nov. 10 publishes a telegraphic synopsis of letters received in London from Stanley. He says Dr. Livingstone was wrong in reporting that the Victoria Nyanza consisted of five lakes. Speke correctly states that Victoria Nyanza is one lake, but Speke’s two islands are peninsulas. The River Shimeeyu is the principal feeder of the lake and extremes! source of the Nile yet discovered. Stanley had several conflicts with slavedealers on the lake. On one occasion he was attacked by 100 natives, armed with spears, in thirteen canoes, who were repulsed after a severe fight. Three natives were killed. He arrived at the Utesal hunting-camp at Nisayura April 12, where the King directed extraordinary festivities and displays. One feature was a naval review on the lake of eighty-four canoes, manned by 2,500 men. On the second day, in addition to the naval maneuvers, there were races in which eighty-four canoes were engaged, each propelled by thirty oarsmen, the King leading the fleet personally, in the presence of a great crowd of on-looken, including the 300 wives of the King, bn the third day there was bird-shooting and target-practice by 8,000 troops, and on the fourth day he returned to Mtesas, the capital. This King has 2,000,000 subjects. He is a Mussulman, has great intelligence, and his dominion affords the best augury tor the possible civilization of Africa. The Moulton House, of Hampton, formerly a hotel, was the first house in New Hampshire, if not in New England, to be painted white, the paint being imported from England expressly for the purpose.

Man’s inhumanity to woman was strikingly illustrated at Worcester, Mass., a few days since, where a woman was arrested and tried for “ talking to her husband in a loud tone of voice.” The report of the case says the woman was acquitted ; but it leaves us in painful suspense as to whether the jury found she had not talked in a loud tone ot voice or whether the Court decided such talking not to be an offense. The most singular freak of nature can be seen in a tree up near Eureka. It is half pine and half fir. It is a good-sized tree, perhaps seventy-five feet high. The body from the ground to a distance of thirty feet is pine. Then for a distance of twenty feet it is fir. The remaining twenty-five feet, like the lower portion, is pine. The fir portion of the tree is in a very flourishing condition. The foliage on that part is so dense that the trunk or limbs can hardly be seen through it. On the pine portion the leaves are rather saarce. The tree is near the road, and has been noticed by nearly all who ever .passed that way.— Nevada (&al.) Transcript. A correspondent of the Providence Journal writes from that city to say: “ At noon-time I often take a walk on the park promenade, and about that hour may be seen women with pails, etc., bringing dinners to their husbands who labor on the streets. A woman came, met her husband, and they seated themselves on the greensward, and spread on the grass the dinner, he giving the wife some of the edibles. After drinking from the pail he gave it to her, gave her a kiss, aad west to his work, and she to her happy home Ob one of the benches sat a man and wife, she had brought his dinner. After gobbling it down he took up the pail and, after testing it, dashed the contents into her face and went to his work. The poor woman, taking her shawl, wiped hm face,, gathered up her pail, etc., and started for her miserable home. I wanted to put my cane over the brute’s head, but I feared he would be too much for me, and let him go.”
