My own judgment is that your answer to former cOmmunica- lion by the secretary of the interior was all sufficient and perfectly satis l factory to me, to whom it was address . ed and to the secretary of war to whom referred il. MT. Schurz's re joinder was addressed to the public. and Is in no manner calculated To re. concile conflicting opinions tu i'm prove the condition of the Indians or make the inStrumcntality of the army m Indian management more Larmo. nious and effective for these reasons l infer from q conversation with the .ecretary of war that his opinion is, in which l fully coincide, that the controversy aS such should end, and therefore l shall instruct the adiuiant general 10 place the communications of the secretary of the interior on file. Signed, W. T. Sherman, General" !
