POLICY.

THE GENERALS HEALTH IMPROVED BY HIS TOUR
IN THE wEsT-HE FAVoRs VIGOROUS INDIAN
POLICY.
10y TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Genera Sherman returned
this morning from his four months journey through
the Indian country In conversation with a friend,
to-day he said that the trip undertaken IN order
that he might study tine Indian question more
thoroughly than would otherwise have been possible.
He deired better understanding OF its bearing upon
the interests of the army. He was also desirous to
see and learn himself the wants and capacities OF
the army in the West and to be able to know from
personal observation its actual condition. The Cen
era will probably submit to the Secretary of War,
as soon as he has prepared it, fall report. He Will
give the results of his observation, and set forth MS
views on the army question and the management OF
the Indians. This paper will probably be trans
mitted TO Congress by the Secretary OF War, as a
document accompanying his annual report should 1t
he completed in time.
General Sherman has always been IN favor OF
very vigorous policy toward the Indians upon the
frontier He favors extendngto the white people and
their property as well as the property of the United
States full and ample military protection from tine
depredations of hostile Indians. While ne is not ac-
tually in favor of a fighting policy toward Che In
dans instead of one of feeding them, he has always
advocated the theory that the army shou have full
control Of the Indian question. General Sherman
said today, that he believes the Indian troubles IN
Oregon, Nevada, and the other States and Terri
tories through winch he has passed, to
be at an end. Whatever might be said,
the army has certainly done It's duty noby.
long interview between the General and the sccre-
tary of War took place this morning. 1t is learned
that the Administration is ut loss to determine
what disposition shall be made of Chief Joseph and
his band now that they have been caught. General
sherman says that Joseph fought IN Christian
manner. not taking scalps or mutilating the dead,
and that he is not ia favor OF putting HIM to death.
He is however opposed to releasing Joseph, and al
lowing hin 10 return 10 Oregon. The cmci knows
too much of that country. and may again become
troublesome.
General sherman's health has been greatly i'm
proved by hs Journey.

when taken in connection with those impo'ed by
State laws is greater than the banks cond possibly
afford to paw. The taxes upon National Banks were
primarily imposed for the purpose of paying the ex-
penses of the Controllers Office. Those expenses
from the organization Of the system to July l. 1875,
amounted to little more than E 100000, while the
amount of taxes paid upon circulation during the
same time emitting those upon deposits and capital
stock was almost $34 .0O0, 900. The total amount
of taxation upon banking capital, imposed both by
National and State authorities, ranges from about
3l2 47lO per cent. The injustice of the tax upon
deposits is greatly increased by the fact that the
banks in the principal cities, have, for four years
past held large amounts of currency, dead
weight, which greatly augments the nominal
amount of deposits reported bv them. Controller
Knox IN his last report, called attention 70 the
fact that there is no provision OF law Tor dispos-
ing Of this excess, either by funding, as
originally authorized by the legal-tender act, or by
redemption in specie, either of which would reduce
the amount of circulation. The banks nave mus
held a large amount of money which could not be
used at remuneTative rates. but upon when tney
have been Obliged to pay heavy taxes to the Govern
ment. .
The United States is receiving, according to MI.
KnOXs report of last year, revenue from the Dlnks
which Is more than equal to the taxes pdld Dy thch
before the war, wnile the States have Tor seNefal
years been increasing the burden, which previously
were as great as could be borne. This has caused
many of the National banking institutions OF the
country TO Surrender their circulation ana engage III
private banking.
1t is believed the OnerOus character Of these taxes,
especially that upon deposits, Will ne made so ap
parent to Congress during the coming Winter that
bill will be passed by both Houses and signed bY
the President, relieving tne banking institutions
from portion of their present burdens of taxation

TN RECOMMENDATIONS OF CONTROLLER Knox.
10y TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBuSE
WAsHNGr0S, Oct. 22.-One Of the most import
ant recommendations Of Controller Knox's report
will be renewal of that made last year for the
repeal Of the provision Of law imposing tax OF one
half Of one per cent annually upon the average
amount Of deposits held by the National Banks and
also Of the one requiring the afhxing Of two cent
stamp upon bank checks The first of these taxes Is
held by the Controller to be different in principle
from any other imposed by the United States Gov
eminent. Usually the property and credits only OF
individuals and corporations taxed, and they are
allowed to deduct their debts from their assets be-
lore making their returns for taxaton but in this
Ease the Government actually taxes the debts OF
National Banks as well o. it's capital stock not In
rested in United States bonds.
The Controller showed last year that ths tax'
