Returns of Banking Exchanges.
CHICAGO. June &c.
Tho Journals Washington special says:
TO the small appropriations made
by Congress to detect and punish depre-
dators upon the public lands, Secretary
Schurz does not expect to be BILE to do
much in this direction this year. 1t is
however, that the seizures and
heretofore made, will serve to check
operations of many persons who were
engaged in a wholesale manner in Destroy
ing the timber upon the public lands.
The Treasury Department is offered sill
yer bullion at about So cents an ounce,
the cost of the silver dollar about
cents. The sellers Of the bullion take
certificates in payment, then sell
them to persons to pay custom duties, so
that, practically, the Government gains
nothing by paying silver instead OF gold.
