Condition of Wisconsin Banks.

The condition of our State Banks is, of
course, the subject of very constant and
grave comment. The Madison Argus and
Democrat understands that in pursuance
to the provisions of our Banking Law the
Bank Comptroller called on the banks the
18th inst, to make good their several
amounts caused by the depreciation. They
did so, many returning currency. BY law
he cannot make similar call till sixty
days have elapsed. By that time, things
will have assumed a definite shape, and
the Legislature will be in Sc sion, so that
some effective method, if possible, may be
devised to sustain the credit Of our curren-
cr."
