Gen. Sherman, In 'his' reMort, which
will be submitted to Congress on Mon
day, opposes. any further reduction of
the army. He says the entire army la
on duty, and he has 'constant calls ihr
more troops, which cannot be granted.
He calls the President's canteen atten
tion to this matter, that Congress may
be appealed to not to diminish tee
military establlshmeot, because of
the great extent of cottony, -the
unsettled character of a large Tr
glen measured north, south. east and

or junks, as well as in some parts of
the Southern Suites, would, be believes,
result in dontinulng things amounting

He refers to the labors and exposures
of the officers and men, and hopes that
they will receive the assurance to which
they are fairly enUtmd, that their labors
am appreahtted.' °Moors have beau re•

the army officers so poor, but they hope
by the appreciation of currency their
compensation will soon become more
satisfactory.. Any diminution of their
pay would result in the loss to the ser
vice of every good raker, tcrthe ex

General Sharman advisee the adoption
by Ogigrees of the new army regulations
as prepared by the Special Hoard of Gin
cent,
In referring to the army ootutolittation,
he says there are Ore hundred and nine
unattached officers, orwhom one hundred
and Oftydix are awaiting orders. The
number of retired officers is one hundred
and seveutydeven. He urges that cav
alry and artillery regiments be officered
alike In regimental and company organ

ant for cavalry companies. He urges
that it la aniust that the reduction of the
army should fall excludvely upon the

This Is amounted far by the circumatan •
ces that the old spirits m bonded ware
house on the 30th of August, 186 i, when
the new law went Into effect, were all by
operation of law to be withdrawn front
bond and the tax to be paid prior to July
tat, 1869. It is a fist, however. that the
gala on tobacco for this period of com
petition exceed that for the six months
ending June 39th, 1869, by $3,000,000,
showing a steady and continuous Increase
from t big mann.
The gains on stamps, Incomes and
sales correspond very nearly with the
gain. on these &rimless forghe six month.
of comparison ending June 00th, 1800.
Referring to gains 'on spirits and to
bacco for these periods it seems proper
to nay there Is every muss for contralti
lotion that the law of July 20th, Mg,
taxing these articles, was enacted.
Smarm —ln considering the increase 01
revenue from distilled spirits for the last
dx months of the decal year ending June
30th, 1869, the subjoined facts should be
remembered. There were In the bonded
warehouses on the let of July, base re
shown by the secoents kept in this office,
27,218,403 asthma of spirits. Thle In.
eluded all claims for leakage then out
standing, and a large quantity claimed
to have been destroyed by the Mini.
ing of revenue bonded warehouses,
as well as oestain amounts which;n
b ee . previously withdrawn upon fraud.
utent t cods, and still unaccounted for.
Under the mondons of the act of July
20th, 1656, as amended, all spirits in
t ended warehouses at the time of the
=of the act, were required to be
woad theta: paid thereon act
or tololy la, 1869, and by this require
ment 24,383,1d1 gal l spirits were De-
Oeleartly flamed upon the market during
the nodal year, and served to that extent
to increase the returns from this source,
While on the first of July, 1889,-there re.
omitted In bonded warehouses, of the
new product, only 18,563,838 gallons. It
thus appearlithat the quaritity'of spirits
in bond to be withdrawn and the tax to
be paid during the fiscal year, ending
J ime so, two, is less by nearly eight
millions of gallons, than the quantity
which wss compelled to be withdrawn
and the tax paid for the &wad year, end

source cannot be spared from the general

found more accepidble as a substittute,
it Is for Congress to determine wbetbet
or not the tax shall be renewed. In con
sidering this question after determining
the total amount which ought to
be realised from internal revenue
sources, and considering what will be
realized by the present system
without resorting 16 Incomes, the ques
tion will present itself whether the entire
income taxes now assessed shall be re

the following source.: Spirits H6,062,-

The amount from other sources was col
lected from the gross receipts of rail
roads, insurance and express companies,
from the aided of broker., dealers and
manufacturers, from epochal taxes and
(lawn penalties and miscellaneous
sources.
It is estimated that at least Meaty par
cent of the entire reoelpte was collected
from • few obi seta and soothes, all of
which may be classed as luenrieet or as
the socuructiated and associated wealth
of the country. It is difficult to see how
the necessary revenue from Internal
sources can be obtained with mach
greater respect for labor and with more
Justice to the common Industry than is
teemed by the present law.
I desire to add my opinion that the
