The London market has been unsettled by the ap- ‘prehension of complications between England and ussia on the subject of the Khivan question, and vonsols, which came steady in the forenoon, left off to-night at per cent decline, Our '65’s and '67's have also fallen off + a % per cent, but the ten- Morties and new fives have, curiously enough, madvanced as much as tho five-twenties meciined, Ene shares opened at 40%, declined to 48% and closed at a recovery to 49%. The advance &n the United States five per cents is ascribed to whe. probable announcement through the cable that Congress had sanctioned further negotiations Jof the bonds through the agency of the Syndicate. MONEY STRADY, ‘The money market was steady and easy at 6 8 7 ‘per cent throughout the greater part of the day, borrowers on governments being freely supplied at fthe lower rate, while loans on stock collaterals rwere chiefly at 7 per cent. After half-past two. yo’clock the demand became more active among the ‘stockbrokers, and the rate became 7a 7 coin, the solosing dealings on the sidewalk being at the latter rate, Commercial paper was quoted 8 a 10 per ‘cent discount for prime names, with a rather more active market. Foreign exchange was quiet and ‘arm, on the basis of 1093, a 109% for prime bank- vera’ sixty-day sterling and 110% @ 11034 for sight GOLD STRONG—112% a 113%. ‘The gold market opened strong in sympathy wvith the continued strength of the foreign ex- changes, and advanced to 113%. At this point a rumor got into circulation and received consider- able credence that one of the new Syndicates had yecelved authority to go ahead witn the negotia- ‘tion of a further instalment of a hundred millions of the new loan, whereupon gold receded to 112%. ‘Within the next half hour came the London quo- ‘tations, showing a decline in consols, and also a sable telegram announcing the cause thereof, in the apprehension of trouble between Russia and England on the Asiatic question, particularly that branch of it involving the relations of the two countries as regards the KHANATE OF KHIVA, ‘Upon this intelligence the course of gold changed its direction and gradually moved up to 113%, at which figures the latest sales were recorded. The sourse of the market is shown in the table:— 1P. M. 1:37 P. M 4P. Miia alae In the gold loan market the rates ranged from 3 to 6 per cent’ for carrying. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as follows:— 5% $ year ooe arisious The Sub-Treasury paid out $263,000 on account of interest and $10,700 on account of redeemed five- ‘twenties, THE RAILROAD BONDS. The railroad bonds were moderately active and prices firm, actual business being at an improve- ment. In fact transactions in these securities are generally in sellers’ favor. Boston, Hartiord and SErie first recovered to 423.

The government list was less active, and during the earlier boards prices were barely steady, a consequence of the lower ruling of gold and lower prices in London, With the subsequent advance in gold the market strengthened and recovered, the new fives being exceptionally strong and advanc- ing to 113, in sympathy with the firmer quotations for these securities in the London market, where they were favorably influenced by the reported success of the Syndicate in getting a further instal- ment of THE NEW LOAN.

KS DULL AND STRONG, The volume of business at the Stock Exchange Was only a small improvement upon the current daily amount of the past few weeks, but while the ‘market was still indubitably dull the transactions ofthe day revealed an acoession of fresh buyers and @ more confident belief in an early advance in prices, a8 indicated in the steady rise in quota- tions from the outset of business to the moment of adjournment, The disappointment over the failure of the January rise has given place to new expecta- tions of a better market in the immediate future, how that the condition of the banks is growing stronger week by week. The default in the Jan- uary rise was just such a Gontingercy as would in- spire fresh zeal among the OPERATORS FOR A DECLINE, and has, doubtless, contributed a considerable “short” interest, which, under ditferent circum. stances, would have been wanting. The upward movement was most conspicuous in the case of New York Central, Western Union, Pacific Mail, Wabash ‘and Rock Island, New York Central ad- vanced to 10434, the highest point it has reached since the. separation of the scrip dividends of 1868-9, As usual, the advance excited fresh rumors of another scrip dividend, the fact of a sensation of some sort being on the carpet being indicated by the reappearance in the Long Room of Jonn Morrissey, the heretofore avant courrier of Com- modore Vanderbilt's famous coups de main. The quotation 104% for New York Central is equivalent to 216% for the stock as it stood in THE SPRING OF 1869, 80 that parties who bought in that period now see a chance of coming ont even, their investment hav- ing, meantime, paid them a dividend of pretty nearly eight per cent per annum. The circum- stance illustrates the greaz mse and fall of the Wall street tide in the course of several years. Patience and plenty of margin scem to stand to the unlucki- est “bull’’.after all. Despite a reduction of twenty- five per cent in the tolls of the Western Union Tele- gtaph Company on tts Southern and Southwestern lines, @ part seemingly of an alleged speculation for a decline on the part of certain of the directors, the price of the shares advanced to 84%. Again, the less flattering prospects of the St. Domingo colonization scheme, or SAMANA BAY PROJECT, were offered as the explanation of 9 further im. provement in Pacific Mail to 71%. In the case of Wabash there was a r@ily to 7344—or a rise of 2 per cent within the past few days—the result quite curiously of an anmouncement that the company have created $5,000,000 of a new mortgage joan, the buoyancy of the stock being analogous to the case of woman relieved and made happy by the revelation of a burdensome secret. The new loan is to run thirty years, and bear interest at the rate of 7 per cent gold. The proceeds will be devoted to additional and improved equipment inthe way ofnew rolling stock and steel rails and to the re- demption of maturing bonded debt. The rest of the market was quiet, with an advance of % a percent. The stockholders of THE NEW MARIPOSA COMPANY held a meeting to-day, at which they elected the following gentlemen trustees of the organization:- F. B, Wallace, Chauncey Vibbard, George W. Butts aud Mark Brumagim. The stockholders of the New York, Boston and Northern Railway Company held @ meeting to-day, at which it was unaniffously voted to consolidate their road and franchises with those of the Harlem Extension Railroad Company. Also a meeting was held at the Harlem Extension Railroad Company’s office, No. 9 Nassau street, at which it was unanimously voted by the stockhoid- ers to consolidate with the New York, Bostgn and Northern Railway Company. The consolidated corperation is to be Known as the New York, Bos- ton and Montreal Railroad Company, Harlem fluctuated between 119% and 12244. Ata special meeting of the Stock Exchange a committee was appointed to draft resolutions expressive of regret for the late George Henriques, out of respect for whose memory the flag of the building has been lowered to half- mast, HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES, The following table shows the highest and lowest prices of the principal stocks during the day :— rhest, Lowest, 0436 103% 136 "a" bo Merce 11% Tl ii 11M 4 46% 3674 36%5 8855 8835 8414 82% hk 1034 In Philadelphia Reading was strong, and ad- vanced to 115, SALES AT THE NEW YORK STOOK EXCHANGE, aie Jan 20—10:15 A.

Monpay, Jan. 20—6 P. M. The week opened quite auspiciously when viewed from a commercial standpoint, there being more manifest disposition on the part of merchants to operate than has been tvidenced for some time past. In some departments of trade the same inactivity obtained, however, though there was greater fum- ess in almost every branch of trade. The move- Ment in cotton was slow, bat the market was steady. At the Produce Exchange there was greater animation in breadstuffs, superinduced in part by speculative feeling which has been manifested dur- ing the past few days. There was likewise more demand for both flour and wheat for export, how- ever, which also tended to impart greater strength to an already firm market, The dealings were res- trained by the extreme views of holders, both four and wheat being in some cases firmly held at prices considerably above the views of buyers. Nevertheless the sales were larger to-day than for some time past. Corn was also more active for export and a good business was done—mainly on the basis ofan advance in prices. Oats were firm put not especially active. Whiskey was steady at previous prices. In the provision trade there was continued quietude and prices were barely sustained, Freights were unchanged. Room and vessels of a desirable capacity were still scarce and could not be obtained save at full rates, which, of course, tended to restrict the export movement consider ably, There was little more doing in sugar, but other- wise the grocery market was quiet, but firmness was manifested throughout. Petroleum remained dull and ngminal. Naval stores were quiet, but without essential change in values. Correr,—The market was auiet for all descriptions, but the firmness hitherto noticed was manifested throughout.

The CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO SX PER CENT GOLD BONDS, the total ount of which is only $15,000,000, aro secured upon a property worth $35,000,000 to $40,000,000, aud are fully equal in intrinsic value to the Central Pacific Bonds. They aro issued in denomina- tions of $100, $500 and $1,000, coupon or registered, and at their present market prices86 and accrued interest, are vory desirable. THE CENTRAL PACIFIC 8IX PER CENT GOLD BONDS are too well known to require description or commendation. Their total amount is $25,885,000; they have for a long time ranged in market price near or | | above par. The WESTERN PACIFIC+SIX PER CENT GOLD BONDS amount to $2,735,000. This road is now consoll- dated with the Central Pacific, and the payment of its bonds, principal and interest, is assumed. by the latter. Coupon Bonds $1,000 each. Their market price to-day 1s 9 to 90%, As they have recently been introduced on the Stock Exchange, we oxpect to see them rapidly rise to the price of Central Pacifics, being substantially the same in character and value.

The meeting was presided over by the President of the association, Mr, E. C. Wilder. The review exercises, which were conducted before a class from one of the city Sunday schools, by Mr. B. Vliet, consisted of a tolerably good recitation by the pupils of the ten first chapters of the life of Daniel, pod answering of the pupils evidenced carefal previous training.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 16, 187%. Yesterday the people living along the line of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroa® were electrified by the report that Thomas G, Boyd, who figured in & prominent mameer before the public in September of last year, had been ar- rested and taken from mder the protecting egis- of the British lion in the Queen's dominion of On- tario, and—thanks to the Yxtradition treaty—had been conveyed to Americansoil by detective om- cers, who had followed his trail like sleuth hounds- on the acent, and, with theirmission accomplished, had si with their prison for this city, and were on their way a8 ast as steam could bring them. The frst intimativn the public had of the matter was the reception at Sweetwater om Tuesday evening of the jollowlig despatch by AJ W. Boyd:— pe nT. Have a cell made comfortable ro ego eval ay despatch was the theme of hipaa apace on: the streets; and, although the sigyature was not that of Thomas G. Boyd, yet the mistaken “g,1' was accounted for as merely aclercal error, not the faintest doubt of its having beer sent by T. G. Boyd being expressed. BOYD RESIDED AT SWRETWATR, where he played the hypocrite in the mast success. ful manner, acting as superintendent ota Sabbath School and evincing a public-spirited liberality that endeared him to the community in which he lived—so much so, in iact, that when thy charges: of his misconduct were first made they wee gene- rally discredited, and when they were prased by the officers of the government he found 19 dim- culty in giving the required bail in the teveral cases, amounting in the aggregate to neary forty thousand dollars, many considering him a verse- cuted man, from the fact of his having been n tne Confederate army. Boyd had presented fraudulent claims for bounty, back pay, pensions, &c., amaunt- ing to upwardsof one hundred thousand dolars, and several indictments were pending aganst him in the United States Court, and fearing Has bis guilt would be proven he conceived a Sibi. tee successiul execution of which would enable him to escape the punishment that would necessarily bd low conviction. This was nothing less. than make it appear that he had been murdered, — of course, ae i fal proceedings against him woul! be stop} e could spend the remainder af his life in a rpelan country enjoying his ill-gottes gains in perfect security. HOW TO BE MURDERED. The idea so boldly conceived was carried into ex~ ecution on the 4th of September, 1872, when Boyd, having fully matured plans, sent two men, named Reagan and Hensley (the former a Justice of the Peace, and whose last act before leaving: Sweetwater was to sign a claim for one Dorcas Williams for $1,500, which was afterwards pores fraudulent), who were either his willing ols OF eas! galled dg) to the mountaing, avowedly for ti fs urpose of Bul witmeases to apy an hanes 5 e Court in his (Bo rir) bone he follo rel oye days a(terward joining them at Colonel cy ee father), wl pi Kiger | on their way, and In a sequestered spotina mountain pass the farce of being attacked by dis- puss ised men was enacted ied te Boy Yd spleied 8 away the gentile Ku Kiux and shot on the side of @ hill, in el view of his companions, who, however, were ara in such » position as not to beable to see his body after h n, When the SECOND AGT IN THE DIABOLICAL FAROR ‘was consummated in the desecration of the ve of Samuel Bowles—a colored man who ‘died suddenly at Sweetwater some days before, and whose body had been packed in charcoal and to Eleazar church, near Boyd's father’s resi- dence, tor ipterment, by his (Thomas, @ Boyd's) taking therefrom the corpse, which was conveyed to “he inmost recesses of the forest and there burned beyond ail chance of recognition, as they tondly imagined, though not entirely consumed, as the charred re- mains were intended to be passed off as those of Boyd, 80 wantonly murdered by the mythical and ae Ku Kiux. ‘he horrible details of the affair were published at the time, together with the examination o/ his henchmen, which made his se manifest beyond the shadow of @ doubt. d made his oxcepe. however, by the aid of friends, and, outside of hia immediate family, nothing was known of his where- abouts until November last, when a relative of one of his bondsmen was sent to follow a clew then ob- appre- tained, which resulted in his detection and hension. CURIOSITY WAS EVE'S BESETTING SIN, and Boyd seems to have inherited his full share of it; having en itching desire to read the newspa- per repurts of his disappearance, and, under the assumed name of “Smith,” wrote one or more letters to a gentieman at Bweeswater, asking that copies of various. papers be sent to a designated address. This came to the knowledge of his sure- ties, some of whom were for large amounts—Mr. I. T, Lenoir, $27,000; a Mr. Benson, $8,000; Cooke & Henderson, ‘$1,000, with General J. A. Mabry, poh rg Jobn Williams, aud, perhaps, others f¢ ee amounts, the whole aggregating proba! and the two former at once sent Louis Len nephew of the Fy yares first peek a gual who discovered the object of his search at London, where he passed under the name of Smith. Write ing back to his uncle that he had “spotted” hia man, that gentieman had the necessary papers pro- cured and forwarded to Washington and ol a requisition from the Rresident for Boyd's ARREST, UNDER THE EXTRADITION TREATY. The messenger, William B. Lenoir, & son of the chief bondsman, then proceeded to ara, whe he could be easily called if it was necessary identify Boyd, alias Smith. His services were, however, not needed, for on Tuesday night a de- spateh was received (rom Louis Teno of same date, stating that the fictitious “amieh? been arrested and was then in custody, and the supposition now is that he is on his eee ville to occupy the cell he ordered to be made “comfortable,” umless he should be released on bail, anf doubtless as icons Esty P ig beg to accomplish it, as General Jo! . ang other friends are now here, and will use aif the! influence in his behalf. It will not be long before the mystery that shrouds this remarkable case will be made Kpown, which, when all the facts are elicited, will form an interesting chapter in the criminal annals of East Tennessee.
