COMMERCIAL.Taxation of Banks.In a supplement to
his report, the Commissioner of Internal Rev¬enue states that national banks pay tares to theUnited Statos Treasurer in January and Julyo; } per cent each half year on their deposits,and the same rate each half year on the averageainoun* of their capita' stock not invested inUnited States bonds. Those taxes are collectedby the Treasurer, and constitute no part of theinternal revenue. Since the organization ofnational banks up to the close of the lastfiscdyear these taxes have yielded $64,989 376 46.Realized during the last fiscal year, $7 270,758.40.Total on deposits up to June 30, 1875 $30 018,-028 1 ; during the last lisc 1 year, $3,427 576.31.Taxes on all banks and bankers, not national,an.- collected under the Lnterual Revenue laws,viz: i 24 per c nt each month on the capitaleinplo? . d beyond the average amount investedin Ui tel Status bonds, 1 12 per cent each monthuj on tuw average amount of circulation issuedby them, and an additional tax of & per ct. eachnn»nth upon the average amount of such circuL.tion isaued beyond tne amount of 90 per centof the capital. Deposits in the associations exeluiively for the investmint of savings for thesole benefit of depositors, and having no capital,tt/e exempted from tax on their deposits investedin United States se-unties and on all depositsnot exceeding $2,10.) in the name of any one
person._ The act of June 18, 1874, extended thisexemption to such institutions as were then inexistence doing business only a3 savings banksand rfcognized as such by the laws of their re>.^-'jctive utiles or by Congress, although in facttiijy had a capital stock or bond for the addiii>>nal security of the depositors; in fact, the lawauthorized a dividend oi 8 per cent on the stockin providing that, tbe excess of profits above thisdividend should be divided among the deposit¬ors, and besides provided that not less than 4frper cent interest be paid in all cases to depositors,to be made good, if necessary, from capital stock.This iB the presxnt condition of the law. Theaverage capital held by b^nks and bankers notnational in Alay, 1875, was $<00,316 09!?; averageamount of deposits, $1,?40.014 818; total $1,546,-330,911. Tax ble capital and deposits duringtao six months previous only $780,491.76. Upona given amount of capiial and deposits the taxin California is ten times that in Massachusetts,and in Michigan sixteen ; in Virginia five timesthat in Vermont. The city of Hew York, pos¬sessing taxable capital and deposits $50,000,000less than Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,Massachusetts and Connecticut combined, paysa tax thre times as great as these States, whilethese same St itns, having capital and depositsthree times as great as California, pay abouthalf the t*x paid by California. The Com¬missioner thinks that if deposits in these so-called savings institutions are thought a propersubject for exemption from taxation where theyt»;e employed with such profitable results, it^ ere better to return to the rule adopted byCongress in 1866 where depo.sit.s made by any. no person in excess of $50J were subjected totaxation.

LEOGER'S FLUID (RED), THE UNI¬VERSAL DISINFECTANT. (Perman-
fanate of Soda.) It is the only true disinfectantnown, all other preparations sold for this pur¬
pose being merely deodorizors (or articles wnichpossess tbe property of overpowering unpleasantsmellB by their own pungent and often disagree¬able and dangerous qualities.) It is particularlyadapted for disinfecting sick roomB in cases oityphus fever, small pox, cholera, scarlet fever,diarrhoea, and all contagious diseases, and foipurifying rooms in which there are dead bodies,removing at once all unpleasant smells, anddestroying effectually any latent germs of dis¬ease. By plaoing'the diluted fluid in dishes orbasins, about bed chambers, school rooms, workshops, hospital wards, &c., it keeps the air in aperfect state of purity. For stables, slaughterhouses, butchers' shops, dairies, cellars, «fcc., itis invaluable, keeping them in a perfectlywholesome state, by merely sprinkling the di¬luted fluid over the floors and walta It keepsdust bias, water closets, drains, urinals, &c.,sweet and wholesome, by using once or twice aday.
