The annual report of the Commissioner of Internal Bevenue for the year ending Jane 30,1884, has been submitted to the Secretajy of the Treasury. From this it appears that the total receipts for the year were $121,596,039. as compared with $144,563,344 for the previous year. It is estimated that the receipts for the current fiscal year will be $115,000,000. The falling off the Commissioner ascribes to the diminished quantity of bourbon and rye Whiskies on which the tax will be due this Kr. The receipts from the tobacco tax , year were $16,041,850 less than for the prenons year. POUTICAL. The political excitement in New York, during the reception of the election returns, exceeded anything of the kind ever wit-

nessed in that city. At one time it was feared the bffice of the Western Union Telegraph building would bo invaded by a mob. J A New York dispatch says a riotous demonstration was made by 2,000 men at the Western Union building. The crowd gathered so quickly it was difficult to imagine where they came from. Some boys on the outskirts of the crowd cut a rope which kept a Blaine and Logan banner down Broadway in position and tried to pull it down. The crowd in front of the Western Union Building was now growing larger every moment, and swayed back and forth in a threatening manner and yelled: “Hang Jay Gould!” “Lamp-post Jay Gould!” This was varied at last by some asking a question and a thousand answering in a wild chorus. The conundrums and tbeanswer ran thus: “Who wrecked the Wabash?” “Jay Gould.” “Who made Black Friday?” “Jay Gould.” Who puts Judges in the Supreme Court?” “Jay Gould.” “Who breaks the will of the people?” “Jay Gould." “Who is ripe for the gallows?” “ Jay Gould.” “If he tri s tokteal New York be will dance at the end of a rope!” shouted a brawny man with a determined face. “I'll stone his hearse.” said nnother. Then some one asked who was the most infamous man alive. There was one unanimous answer, no one appearing to have other than one choice. Police arrived, and afterward more police. Twenty of them were placed inside the building, out of sight, for an emergency. Others patrolled the sidewalk. Inspector Byrnes telegraphed to all the precinct stations to hold police in reserve, as trouble was feared. Apr analysis of the returns of the election in New YoriTCTty shows that Cleveland was traded off by one, if not both, of the Democratic organizations of the metropolis. In all the lower wards of the city, which are the chief seats of Democratic strength, Cleveland’s vote is considerablyless -than that of Hancock four years ago. while Blaine’s shows a substantial increase over Garfield’s. In the uptown ’wards, on the contrary, where the Republicans-are strongest, there are large gains for Cleveland over Hancock's vote, and a corresponding decrease in that of Blaine. ■ . :

According to the New York Herald the next lower house of Congress will stand 185 Democrats, 138 Republicans, and 2 People’s party. The official returns from fifty-nine of the sixty-seven counties of Pennsylvania, and an estimate of the remaining eight counties give Blaine a plurality in the State of 78,493. The counties from which the official vote has not yet been received are Allegheny, Butler, Carbon, Montgomery, Philadelphia, Schuylkill, Sullivan, and Tioga. Philadelphia City gave Blaine. 29,452 majority. Four years ago it gave Garfield 20,889. Allegheny County, containing Pittsburg, gave Blaine 18,034, to 13,443 for Garfield; and Lancaster County gave Blaine 9,895, against 8,700 for Garfield..... The complete vote of Massachusetts for President is: Blaine, 143,416; Cleveland, 119,241; Butler, 23,866; St. John, 10,200. For Governor the vote stands: Robinson, 155.097; Endicott. 108,260; McCafferty, 23,552; Seelye, 8,241. Robinson’s plurality is 46,837.

The present election is the closest seen in New York for at least fifty-six years.

The pluralities for twenty years are as follows: In 1864 Lincoln carried it by 6,767; Seymour had just 10,000 in 1868, and Grant 53,455 in 1872; in 1876 Tihlen carried it by 32,738, and Garfield had a plurality in 1880 of 21,033.

The Contest Over New York. * The excitement in New York over the close political contest in that State has not had a parallel since the close of the war.

THE NEXT SENATE.

Its Probable Political Complexion, (From the Chicago Herald.] In the present United States Senate there are 37 Republicans, 36 Democrats, and 2 Readjusters who vote with the Republicans. There is one vacancy, caused by the death of Senator Anthony, of Rhode Island, whose successor will certainly be a Republican. On March 3, 1885, the terms of 11 Republicans and 14 Democrats expire. Six of their successors have already been'elected, with no changes in their politics. The following table will show the status of the Senate, Anthony’s sucessor and the, two Readjusters being included in the Republican: column: Bep. Dem. Present Senate 40 36 Terms expire..... 11 14 Holding over 29 22 Already elected 2 4 Chosen :31 26 This leaves to be elected 19 Senators. The Republicans are already assured of the Senators from Kansas, New Hampshire, and Oregon, the Legislature in the last-named State being already chosen. The Democrats are assured of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida. Georgia, Missouri, North Carolina, and South Carolina. This brings the totals up as follows: '.vV 1 . Rep. Dem. Already chosen 31 26 A55ured..................... ~3 7 Total certain. 84 33 This leaves nine Senators in doubt, to be . chosen by the following States: California, Colorado* Connecticut, Hlinois, Indiana, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. In order to secure a bare majority in the next Senate, with the aid of the two Readjusters from Virginia, the Republicans must secure five of these nine. That would make their total 39, the Democrats numbering 37. In order to secure a bare majority Democrats must be chosen from six- States and Republicans from but three. In case five Democrats are chosen and four Republicans the Senate will be a tie, 38 being the strength of each party. Latest returns indicate that the Republicans have secured control of the Legislatures in California, Colorado, Connecticut, New York, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Indiana will re-elect Mr. Voorhees. The Illinois Legislature is a tie. The Republicans are therefore certain to have a larger majority in the Senate of the next Congress than they have at present.

SIXTEEN KILLED.

Hot-Headed Politicians Engage in Wody Battle at LoreauLa. One Hundred Shots Exchanged, and the Battlefield Strewn with Dead and Wounded. a fNew Orleans telegram.! There was a Republican meeting at Fansse Point, a small village near the town of Iberia, Iberia Parish, on Saturday. The place is located on the bank of Bayou Teche, is dotted with canebrakes, and the low lands make it the, home principally of negroes of the poorer andharder classes. These were the people who werp holding the meeting on Saturday. Their speakers were Judge Fontelieu, a white Republican, and one or two colored politicians from Louisville. The speeches were l articuiarly bitter and the speakers laid great emphasis on their experience of last summer when the State militia took the Court House by force and turned the administration over to the Democracy. The result of the speeches' was that the negroes became agitated, and those of the Republican faith were furious in their passions. As the meeting was abont to close some colored Democrats, came up and began to discuss the question with the men who had sjtraggled out m groups from the place at which the meeting had been held. In one of these,groups tne discussion had grown into a desperate quarrel, and the men were dividing for a battle, when Joe Gilfonx, a white democrat, stepped into the crowd and took a hand in the discussion. He was a prominent character in the quarrel of last summer, and his presence increased the indignation of the Republicans- Epithets came quick, and Gilfaux had been in the crowd but a moment when a negro fired from a pistol in his pocket and the ball passed through Gilfaux’s hat. The latter responded to the attack by drawing a gun, and had fired one harmless shot when be received a fatal wound. He fell dead in his tracks, and his death was the signal for a quick and furious attack. A number of Democratic politicians, whose presence had not been observed, rushed suddenly to the scene, and, commanding their friends to form a line, they at once sent a murderous volley into the crowd of negroes. Many of the latter fell, some dead, others dangerously wounded, and many more or less hurt. The shots had attracted mauy of the men who were at the meeting, and in approaching the —scene of the quarrel they were forced to come np on the side of the Republicans and-were exposed to the fatal volley. The spectacle of the dead and dying had a confusing effect. Many of the negroes were stampeded and ran like men into the glades and canebrakes. Others whose fright was uncontrollable fled into Bayou Teche and were drowned. Some of the wounded crept to the roadside to die of the injuries they had already received or to receive fresh wounds that were fatal. There were many of the negroes, however, to whom the sight of their dead and bleeding comrades was a demoniac inspiration, and, drawing such weapons as they had, some pistols and others knives and clubs, they rushed upon ■ the Democrats. A furious hand-to-hand battle ensued. Neither side of the stampede showed signs of faltering until their weapons had been rendered useless. and.then they drew off sullenly, and with threats and jeers taunted even the dying of their enemies. The battle subsided as quietly as it began, although more than 1,000 shots were ’fired and many knives were stained with blood before the fray was over. After the eombatants separated each left the scene. The dead'and wounded were uncared for. The Democrats went to New Iberia; the Republicans to Loreauville. In the course of halt an hour a truce party returned to minister to the injured and carry off the dead, but they attended only to those who lay ifi the road where the battle had occurred. , An embassador notified Coroner Manville of the affray, and he visited the scene. He returned to-day, and gives the following version, as gleaned from the Democratic survivors : There are sixteen negroes dead.and two white men. I have ordered a jury, and will hold the inquest to-morrow. All in the fight when it began say that the first shot came irom a negro, who fired at Joe Gilfoux from his coat-pocket. Giltoux and another Democrat named Bell were killed Instantly, and from tiie first volley. The pistols taken from their bodies show that they had not fired, a shot when they fell. It is not known how many were killed, but it is certain there were sixteen, probably twenty. Nearly all those killed received wounds from stray shots. It was reported that the white Republicans present wore breastplates. Judge Fontelieu’s clothing was full of bullet holes, but his skin was untouched. Capt. Bell was buried to-day at St. Martinsville. Bell and ■•'Gilfoux were two ot Fausse Point’s most respected citizens. Their friends present, six or eight men. were so infuriated that they went into the battle regardless of everything, and fought bravely. A great many negroes stood and fought until they emptied their pistols. A majority, however, stampeded. Hundreds of them jumped into the bayon, and some being wounded did not get out. Others ran and some fell down on the way and died. One negro was found near by in his cabin, dea-d, without a bruise.

PANIC AT THE PLAY.

A Malicious Miscreant Causes a Frightful Panic in a Glasgow Theater. Sixteen Persons Killed Outright, and About Thirty Severely Wounded. [Cable dispatch from Glasgow, Scotland.] A serious panic occurred at the Star Theater, in Glasgow, caused by a cry of Are. The performance had proceeded without isterrnption until shortly after 9 o'clock, when some person shouted "Fire!" The whole audience instantly rose to their feet and made a rush to the several exits. '1 he great mass of people in “the pit" in rushing'therefrom met a crushing crowd pouring down from the gallery. The fearful and fatal block followed. The wild shrieks of agony and despairing cries for help could not then be answer d. The mass of panlc-striGken and struggling humanity were appealed to by the officers of the theater and the poßce to hold back, but the appeals were unheeded. The crazed crowd franticaUy pressed toward the outlets, trampUng down and over the weaker ones until the street was reached. When the theater was finally cleared sixteen corpses were found on the stairs leading from ,the gallery, and twelve persons were so badly injured that they only gave evidence that life was not extinct by their piteous moanings. Upon the first alarm being rung the whole fire brigade quickly went to the rescue, and with the police, did their utmost to allay the panic and rescue the dead and dying, but they were too late to be of much effective service. The police and citizens finally succeeded in forcing their way Into the building, anil then aided all they could to escape to the street, but the mass was so wedged that they were sadly interfered with in their humane labors. The city ambulance corps conveyed the victims, the wounded and the dead, to the infirmary. The wounded were so overcome that they were as helpless as the dead. The man whose cry of “Fire!" caused the Sanic has been arrested. He was drunk when e raised she false alarm. Persons in the theater at the time describe the scene on the staircase as terrible, the steps were strewn with ribbons, hats, sacks, and shawls. The. victims were first suffocated and then trampled upon. The panic lasted fifteen minutes. The scenes witnessed when relatives identified their dead were most affecting. Among the victims were eight women. In digging a holg to plant a St. John flagstaff in Indiana the ■workmen struck a spring of water. A hole was bored in the pole and it was transformed into a pump, where the faithful can slake their thirst and show their respect for the cause at the same time. Mb. James O’K f.i.ey, M. P. for Roscommon, will retire from Parliament at the end of the present session and come, to the United States to engage in journalistic pursuits. He was at one time connected with the New York Herald. Some of the teachers in the public schools at St. Johnsbury, Yt.„ have been notified by the School Committee that attendance at the skating rink will be considered equivalent to a resignation. . —■ An elephant herd, it is said, is always led by a female, never by a male.
