Spestal Dirpasch o The Chicagn Tribune. ‘WaABIINGTON, D, C., Oct, 22,—The President and membeis of his Cabloct donot appear to be disturbed by the mutterings of dirsatisfaction by the Republican caucusesof the last day or two. A tour among the different members of the Cablnet to-lay shiows that they nre nearly unaninous In belleving that the slight dissen- slous will be healed, and that the members, new aud old, will manifcst a better feeling when they come to understaud the President better, It is o fact that members quite generally have thus far held themselves aloof from the Presi- dent, and have not given themselves an oppor- tonity of mnonvly Informing themscives s to the President’s views.

Special Pupaich to The Chicago Tribuns, Wasninarox, D. C., Oct. 2.—Comptroller Knox, {n bis aunual report, will probably renew the recomnuendations made lsst year to repeal the ¥ of 1 per cent tax upon deposits and sbolish the 2 cent check stamp. 1o says the 3§ per ceot on deposits s different in principle from any tax lnposed by uny Govern- meot, It Is generally supposed that a man's property or the property of s corporation Is taxed, but not its debts, und it Js ceucrally pro- vided that debls shall be deducted from an as- sessment befure the amount of taxes are mads up. 'This 3§ per cent tax upon deposits is a tax upot the debta of the bank, It isatax more onerous ou scrount of the fact that for the past few years the banks have Lad a largo amount of curpucy YOKCED UPON THEM for which they had no use, which made thelr deposits appear w great deal larger than they in fact were, 1f they werc alluwed tu operate under the original uct, or U it wes redeemnshle, they could dispose vf it, and of course would not have to be taxed for it; snd us it is, thero (e alargy auwount of dend cupital which they cuunot use, and upou which they are roquired 1o pay tax. One of the principal *rea: sous for tuxiug the banks wus Lo pay the cost ul the Currvucy Buresu. The expeusesof this Bu- reau buve been less than $1,000,000 since its or- geuizution, while the tax aloue hwd ainounted to HEARLY $36,000.000 up taJuly of last year, and the footings have uol yet been made for the Jast dscal yeur. ‘The taxcs uow gtlected trom banks are considerably utore than The amouut collected from thew be- fore the War by the States when the Govern. ment did ot tax *hum. and the Btute tuxation wus greater thau the bauks could then beas, The amount of fax now impoded is 815 1 ver cent, Nutlonal sud Btute, uj capital of Lunks.
