‘ag { 4 i FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL The Stock Market and Its Change! A Record of Lower Prices. REVIEW OF THE JEEK. The Gold and Money Situation—Bonds Encouraging Investors—Mining In- terests—General News. Watt Srrert, Suxpay, July 30, 1876. f. ‘Tho arid waste of midsummer was agreeably relieved last week py an oasis of unlooked for activity. To the bulls it probably seemed a case of midsummer mad- ‘ness, jor, reposing in the contidence of a steady market ‘until the autumn should bring a bigner one, they found, themselves confronted with disappointment and loss. For weeks past the anthracite coal companies’ stocks have been the plague spot of the share list until finally the virus inoculated the entire speculative system, The continued decline in New Jersey Central, based upon the unfavorable exbibit of its con- dition, together with the knowledge that the traflic fm coal was almost at a standstill, quickly flected Delaware and Lackawanna and Delaware and Hadson, The bears, ever on tno alert to make bad worse, lent their destructive assistance, while the be- Wet widely prevailed that the combination was in the throes of dissolution. Under this varied pressure Prices went off to figures that have not ruled for many yeara, vo the damage of the investment interest and to the profitof the bears, Late im the week, it being discovered that these securities had been oversold, a sudden rush was mpé@ to cover, which created a Bquceze in cash stock and a small recovery in the mar- Ket value, The railway list, which had been stagger- (ng along, keeping upon its pins with great difficulty tnd threatening a collapse at uny moment, was in no State to resist the evil influence thus begotten and quickly showed asympathetic inclination to give way also. Nor was the weakness of the coal stocks the only fisorganizing element There was a disappointment ip the St. Paul preterred dividend in the matter of the postponement from August to October, and the decline which followed thia step was conclusive that brokers still believe in the adage that ‘‘a bird in the hana is Worth two in the bush,”? ‘There were reports that smacked of the pharmaco- poris in the shapo of lying bulletins with regard to the Commodore’s health, and doubtful ones as to Mr. Tracy. There were rumors of further cuttings under on the great trunk ro:ds, and, lastly, the grasshopper bas become a burden that must be borne from this Mme on, From these different causes, added to the depression In business circles and the avsonce from the market of the great dperators, there has been a steady decline and A creation of a bearish feeling that is likely to last until 30 improvement in commercial circles or an effort on \he part of controllers of speculation shall get the pen- fuium swinging the other way. During the past week speculation has been more ac- lve than at any preceeding period in the hot spell. The market, however, showed a decidedly drooping ten- dency, and the recession in prices has been important, ‘ave in two or three securities that are apparently being upheld with a view to a new deal later in the beason. The chief disturbing element was the break in the coal stocks and the expected falling off in the earnings of some of the railway companies. The re- duced grain receipts at the lake ports also had some- thing todo with the declme. The downward move- tment was lod by New Jersey Central, which fell from 72 to 613g. Delaware and Lackawanna next moved into Mne and went off 75, per cent, from 1015; to 94 Dela, wareand Hudson also dropped trom 103%, to 100i. Late in the week, however, the large short interest ‘hat had been created in these stocks was frightened lnto covering, especially when some of the bears found Whey had to pay % percent per diem for the use of Lackawanna, and, under this inflaence, the latter re- covered 4 percentand New Jersey Central 434 per cent, The close, nevertheless, showed weakness, Michigan Central declined 434 per cent, St. Paul, common, 3% per cent; preferred, 4 per cent; C., C., C. w&L, 834 per cent; Northwestern, common, 27% per tent; preferred, 334 per cent; Ohios, 355 per cent; Union Pucific, 2 per ceut; Hannibal and St Joseph, common, 2% per cent; preferred, 2 percent; Lake Bhore, 15; per cent; New York Central, Harlem, Pa- titic Mail and United States Express, each, 1}; per tent; Western Union, 13, and Kock Island, 15 per tont; Illinois Central, 134 per cent, and Eric, % per gent, Adams Express advanced X per cent. The foreguing figures convey tneir own lesson, and it fs not one suggestive of an immediate brighter out- jook. A fow capitalists, doubtless, are availing them- wives of the apparently low prices to buy certain Wocks, in order to average their losses, but a larger aamber, who have suffered from the great decline, aro leaving the market to follow its natural bent It is ascless to make predictions; yet, in the absence of ao- live operators and ley timate speculation, we see no pres- ont signs of improvement. Tho difference in the market value of the stocks ordinarily dealt in between now and Jast summer ranges between 2 and “50 per . out, the lower scale, of course, being that of 1876, During this period there have been many brillant shares, but always in a losing battle.

TUR MONKY MARKET, The money market during the woek has shown a tendency to lower rates of interest, capital still being abundant and lenders forced to accept whatever was offered. On stock collaterals call loans wero made at 1g and 24, per cent, while government bond dealers were supplied at 1 and 14 per cent, The banks and trust companies are loaning at 3to4 percent. Prime commercial paper is in good demand and the supply is ght. We quote sixty to ninety-day prime dry goods indorsed bills receivavic at 3 a 3) percent. Four months’ acceptances are 344 a 5, and good single mes of four to siz months a7 per cent, Grocery paper is ip good request at 4.0 6 por cont for four months notes, and3a3% for sixty-day Cuba and other acceptances. Single name is rated at 6a 7 with a light inquiry. A similar condition of ease exists in London, where the bank rate is only 2 per cent, and the open market discounts are as low as 1 per cent. The movement in the foreign exebanges during the week has been light, the demand for bankers’ bills being as limited as commercial bills continue to be scarce, The market has been easier from first to last, but not until Monday did the standard drawers reduce their official asking rates, and at the close they stand at $4 884; and $4 90), to the pound for sixty days’ and three days’ sight bills respectively, the selling rates being half a cent lower. THE GOLD MARKET, Owing to the belief that the Siiver bill now pending in Congress will pass this market was more than usnaliy active toward the close, and the price ad- vanced from 111% to 11244. The following were the fluctuations of the week :— Opening. Highest, Lowest. Closing. - M1 11% = :MIx = =1% «AK > 11% my .

In sympathy with the heavi- ness of the other market a slight decline occurred, which, however, was followed by recovery anda fair demand. ‘There can be no question that many of the first and second mortgages which are now selling at twenty, thirty and forty per cent below par and pay- ing the equivalent of eight, ten or twelve per cent in- terest without detault are the cheapest investments on the list, They are evidently so recognized vy capital- ists, and large sums are finding their way in this direc- tion. Strength bas been exhibited in the Union Pa- cifics, Southern Pacitics of Missouri, which can be had only in small, odd lots, and steadiness in Northwests and St. Pauls, EXPORTS AND IMPORTS, The foreign commerce of the port for the week was as follows:—General merchandise imports, including dry goods, $5,168,729; produce exports, $4,790,941, and specie exports, $695,181. ‘The total imports of merchandise at the port since January 1, this year, wore $175,075,681, against $2U6,903,835 for the corresponding period in 1875 and $246,883,750 in 1874. Tho total exports of produce from the port were $147,682,229, against $222,144,117 in 1875 and $255,157,088 in 1874. The total exports of specie were $37,241,404, against $58,169,306 in 1875 and $34,067,428 in 1874. GOVERNMENT BONDS. The transactions in this department, while not as large as at some other recent periods, were neverthe- less indicative of firmness im the early part of the weck, This was succeeded later, however, by a decline of from 3; to 34 percent. It is undoubtedly true that investors continue to regard these among the favorite securities, and prefer them to trading in the specula- tive fancies of the Stock Board. SOUTHKRN STATE BONDS. This department can be dismissed with a word, The Missouris continued firm on small sales; Louisianas neglected, and the District 3.65’s rm. Tennessecs de- clined in sympatby with reportea attempts to lower taxation. THE COLORADO MINES are developing with unabated rapidity, The mino known’ as the Cashier is being worked by lessees on good paying ore, At the west end a body of lead bear- ng 120 ounces of silver has been struck. The ore sup- ply 18 gradually jocreasing at the mills in Gilpin county, of whose mines Professor Gage, of the Missouri State Geological Corps, reports that “they are the best in the world and their development far beyond any- thing 1 bad ever imagined, It is my purpose to return, if possible, and cast my lot there.” Great activity pre. vails in the new as well as the older mining districts. In the Colfax Mine work ts progressing about as usual, with thin streaks of ore in sight, assaying $85 to $90 per ton Official letters express confidence in a gradual widening of the vein, asin the other mines of the neighborhood The Buel Mine has been taken on lease, with the view to sinking down to pay ore. The Keystone and Mountain Lion mines, which could have been bought ten months ago for $1,000, are now valued at hundreds of thousands, the Keystone alone having produced $45,000, both being in xood paying ore and ali the work going forward vigorously. The gross pro- duct of each mine, it is estimated by the owners, will be $500 per day, and the expenses $150. Telluride and free gold ores are found abundantly in Sunshine Guich, Boulder county, the principal lodes being the Warren, Lizzie Doten, Katie King and Dale Owen, Tho Paymaster Miue has ghippod twenty sacks of ore, and has more on hand; the Brazil Mine shows tellurium and sylvanite iu quantity. and 1s making good progress; the Phil Sheridan is being sunk by contract, with paying ore in sight; the Glendale is to be worked in the same man- ner, a large firm having been employed; the American has struck another extraordinarily rich streak, and its owners regard the mine asa Bonanza. In tho Salma district paying ore 1s reported in every direction, and the same may be saidof nearly all the well known locali- ties in the Territory. MEMORANDA. Returns of the operations of the mints show that the Francisco, During the fiscal year ending June 30 the cvinage of all the mints was $57,448,685—an iricrease of $15,593,977 over the previous year. Of this amount $38,182,962 was gold, and $19,265,723 silver. The Phil- adelphia mint coined $15,000,000 of the yrand total, the San Francisco mint $36,000,000 and the Carson mint $6,000,000. Alabama is scaling down its debt. The bonds neees- sary to carry out the settlement made by the commis- sioners and ratited by the Legislature have been sigued, and the commissioners have been for some time busily engaged in making thé exchang) of new for old bonds, The holders of the old bouds, we are told, Lave very | geveraily and promptly responded, but it must have been with a bad grace. Nearly y Southern Stato has now gone through this humiliating process. A correspondent calis attention to the great rise in petroleun, which has nearly doubled in price during the past cleven months, This advance is due toa | diminished supply, occurring coicideatly with an in- creased demand, aud hay been of groat bonelt to the oil regions. The extreme cheapness, even now, of all | the petroleum products renders the yse of any other article, where petroteaim cam be employed, improbable. Our exports are now very large, much more so than usual, European stocks having recently tallen to a rather low poiut. The fact that, during the extensive introduction of petroleum im foreign countries of late years, it sold 80 extraordinarily cheap as to make it very popular is now seen to be of decided advantage to ail engaged in its production and distribution.

LETTER FROM EX-SENATOR STEWART—A RE- VIEW OF THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES CONCERNING SILVER AS A LEGAL TENDER. To tux Eprror or tae HeRaLp:— Will you allow me the use of your columns to pre- sent a few plain acts in regard to what is commonly culled the silver question ? It 1s important that the people should know that the national debt was contracted aud is payable in gold or silver coin, at the option of the United States. This Proposition is shown by an examination of the acts of Congress, and cannot be retuted by violent and intem- perate language. April 2, 1792, Congress enacted that “dollars or units, each to be of the value of a Spanish willed dollar as the same is now current, and to con- taiu 871 graias and four-sixteenths parts of a grain of puro, or 416 grains of standard silver, should bo a !ogal tender to any amount.’ The smaller silver coins by eaid act contained the samo proportion of standard sil- Ver as waa contained in the dollar. January, 1837, the amount of alloy in silver coin was’ reduced, but the amcunt of pure silver remained the same, It was then enacted :— Of the silver coins the dollar shall be of the weight of 412% grains, the half dollar of the weight of 20614 grins, the quarter dollar of the wetght of 103%, grains, | the dime or tenth part of u dollar of the weight of 414¢ grains, and the half-dime or twentieth part of a dollar of the weight of 20% grams; and that dollars, half dollars and quarter dollars, dimes and half dimes, shali pe legal tenders of payment, according to their nominal value, tor any suins whatevei In 1853 the weight of ali siver coins smaller than one dollar was recuced aud they were declared to be a legal tender for ovly $5, but the dollar was unchanged. The act is as follows :— The weight of tho half dollar or piece of fifty cents shall be 192 grains, and the quarter dollar, dimo and half dime shall be ‘respectively one-hait, one-fith aud one-tenth of ghtot said balf doliar, © * The silver co! issued in contormity witn the above Section shall be legal tenders in payment of debts tor all sums not exceeding $5. It will be observed that the silver dollar, containing 41244 graims of standard silver, still remained a legal tender to any amount, The next change was effected by twu surreptitious sections ina long act to reorganize the mints of the United States, approved February 12, 1873. I quote these sections :-— Sxctioy 15,—That the silver coins of the United Staies shail be a trade dollar, a balf dollar or fifty cent piece, a quarter dollar or twenty-five cent piece, a dime or ten cent piece; and the weight of the trade dollar shall be 410 grains troy, the weight of the half dollar sbail be twelve grams (grammes) and one halt of a gram (gramme), the quarter dollar and the dime shall be, respectively, one-half and one-fifth of the ‘weight of said half doliar, and said coins shall be a legal tender at thoir nominal value for any amount not ox- ceeding $5 in any one payment. * * * * * * Sxc. 17.—That no coins either of gold, silver or minor coinage shall hereafter be issued from the mint otber than those of the denominations, standards and weights herein set forth. It will be observed that tho standard dollar was omit- ted. No provision was made for its further coinage. But it still remained a legal tender for any amount, But it seems it was thought necessary to destroy the jegal tender character of the silver dollar, Conse- quently section 3,586, Revised Laws, approved Juno 22, 1874, was made to read as follows :— Sxcriox 8,586.—The silver coins of the United States shall be a legal tendor at their nominal value for any Amount not exceeding $6 in any one payment. This section was never considered by Congress, but was sinuggled into the revision of the laws. It deciares that no silver coin whatever should be a legal tender for more than $5. The: law before it was codified only declared that the trade dollar and the smaller currency should be a legal tender for no more than $5. It did not attompt to declare that the old dollar, es- tablished by Hamilton in Washington’s administration, should not bea legal tender to any amount, It went no further than to omit all provision for its coinage. ‘Tho gold coins of the United States consisted of eagles, half eagles, &c., until 1849, when the coinage of the goia dollar was first authorized; but the gold dollar was never declared the unit of value until 1873, On the contrary. tho silver do.lar was the sole unit up to that time. The debt of the United States was mostly contracted under laws silent as to the kind of currency in which the same was to be paid, It was matotained by many influential persons that it was payable in any legal tender. This controversy was finally settled in 1869 by a declaration on the part of Congress that such debts should be paid in coin or its equivalent. Follow- ing is the exact language of this act, which was ap- proved March 18, 1869, and may be found on page 1 of “United States Statutes at Large,” vol 16:— It is hereby provided and declared that the faith of the United states is solemaoly pieced to the payment ix coin or its equivalent of all the obligations of the United States not bearing interest, known as United States, and of all the interest-bearing obligations of the United States, except in cases where the law au- thorizing the issue of apy such obligation has ex- ly provided that the same muy be paid in lawiul ney than gold and silv ‘The discussions which took place in this controversy cailed particular attention to the kind of money in which the debt was payable, and included both gold and | silver. Tho act to refund the debt, approved July 14, 1870, was framed in the light of that discussion, and pro- vided ihat the bonds issued under said act shouid be “redeemable in coin of the (then) present standard value.” No luw has been passed authorizing a bond to bo issued payable in any coin of a standard value estab- lished subsequent to July 14, 1870. The debt, and the whole debt, was, therefore, contracted payable in coin which was by lsw coin prior to the surreptitious act of 1873 and the revision of 1874—that is to say, either in gold or silver coin. The coin referred to in tho several | acts under which the debts were contracted was either a gold dollar of 25 8-10 grains of standard gold, or 41244 grains of standard silver. Neither the United States nor the bondholder hasa right to change the standard of either silver or gold coin. Tho United States cannot reduce that standa rd, for that would be injustice to the creditor; nor can the United States increase that standard, for that would be injustice to the taxpayer; nor can the United States be | deprived of the option in the contract to pay in either | gold or silver, No one can deny that the option is in the contract. When that option was reserved the silver | oliar was worth over two per cent more than the gold | dollar, and, a8 we buve seen, was a legal tender to uny amount, The United States could have obtained about two per cent more if they bad been willing to contract to pay in silver coin instead of optionally in gold or silver, But it was unsale to bind the United States to | pay in either gold or silver, for no one could then say that it would bo possible to obtain at the maturity of the bonds the particuiar kind of coin which would have been 80 denominated 1h the bond. It was, therefore, both wise and prudont to | reserve the right to pay elther tn gold or silvor. Both | purtics then understood that tho right to pay in either gold or sliver was for the benett of the Un ted States, and that the United States would pay tn that kind of coin which could be easiest obtained, and which could | be secured with tho loast labor, | If liver nad remainod us it was at tho timo of making | the contract, at two pert cent above par, every one knows that the United States would have paid in gold. | It was also understood that if silver should tall below | gold that the United States would pay in silver. But | we are told that silver is now twenty per cent below Does that change the contract? If the debt tract tho taxpayer is entitled to ot the contract, 1 is cheaper than When the contract 1s bot the United States entitled to the benefit artsing from cheaper silver? But if the creditur is wow pre- pared to abandou the contract, and rely on the equities beiween the parties, the taxpayer can afford to enter into account and pay for the actual money received, with interest. 1 say to tho creditor that hu had bewer not tamper with or attempt to change the contract. Tne ellect upon the debt ix not the principal evil ro- suiting from the demonetization of silver. It is well kuown that the val of gold and silver in the world 'y have for 3,000 years been the Tt will be adsnitted that, other things being equal, if the world’s money could at once be doubied the price of labor and ali commodities would aiso be doubled, and, on the contrary, the destrac- t tion of one half of the word’s money woud reduce the price of labor and ail prop- erty at least ono half, The demonetization of ther silver or gold would be the destruction of one- It of the world’s money. The contraction by demon- etization of eithe or gold means that the metal ized measure the Values that both combined now do, We will benefits of the double or singi that both gold aud silver have been money from the earliest history of civilization, All vglues and all con- tracts are based upon the use of both. The destruction of either as money is the destruction of all contracts, The debts of individuals and nations a jarge as the debtors can or will pay, If they are doub'ed the debtor is driven into bankropicy. But, as unjust as the de- strucuon of one-half of the world’s i admitted to be, the attempt has been made, and its ity to denounce all who outrage as swindiers, It must be the act of 1873, omitting from the coinage the dolla’, was ever discussed as a proposition to destroy sliver, but was either fraudulentiy or imadvertently in- troduced into a mint bill, It ts also worthy ot observa. tion that at the time this iegisiation to destroy silver and to deprive the United Of the benetit of tho | saloon is one of many up town which, by tho ch | Young and threatened bim with annihilation should | by the Court of hig semtence Poyle ycommended t | ij option im the contract was being smuggled Lh J port.

They adopted the gold standard and threw their silver on the market, which created an over sup- ply, and hence the depreciation of silver and apprecia. ton of gold; for gold has appreciated as much or more | than silver has depreciated. The purchasing power of gold all over the World is at least twenty-five per cent | more than it was before this hostile movement against silver was commenced, It the movement is tinaily | successful, and silver 1s demonetized, goid must go up, or, What is the same thing, property must go down | from fifty to eighty per cert before the work of the de- | struction of silver cam be consummated. That is say, ail debts, public and private, will be increased from fifty to’ eighty per cent, while the ability of debtors to pay will be decreased in like proportion, The question is presented how this disaster can be honestly averted. The answer 1s plain. Coin the &il- ver dotiar and make it a legal tender for any amount, aa it Was at the time the debt was contracted, and as it bad been from the organization of the government, When our foreign creditors are told that tho United States will pay in silver or gold, according to the con tract, they will sce to it that silver ts not destroyed, Greenbacks are now higher than silver coin.

There sre many interesting incidents in the life of Judge Shandiey which have never yet appeared tn print, For the past twenty years he has been before the public in various positions. His parents were natives of lre'and. His first active appearance in political life commenced while ofliciating as cierk of the Marine courts Several years ago be moved into the Seveath ward, where he became ono of the most active sup- porters of William M. Tweed. Here the fallen chieftain first rose into that great political prominence which gave him such a powertul iutluence in the city and State for a period of over ten years, In 1863 Mr, Shandiey received the united Tammany and Mozart nomination for Justice of the police district composed of the Seventh, Eleventh and Thirteenth wards He was elected by a large majority, At thut time Lis most active competitor for the nomination was Colonei James Bagley, but that gentieman withdrew from the race, although almost assured of victory in view of the peculiar condition of politics at that time. Justice Shandley made a most popular official. He was kind-hearted and considerate in the administration of his duties, while eminentiy strict in their performance, At the end of his term ho was again renominated and elected by a larger majority than he had beiore received, He served but tour years of the second term, when ho was legislated out of office along with soveral of -his colleagues—Dowling, Hogan, Bixby, Cox and others—by a special act of a republican Legislature. Previous to this, however, in the year 1871, he received the Tammany nomination tor Regis- ter and was pitted against General Franz Sigel, republican candidate. This race resulted in a bad de- feat for Suandiey, The Tammany Ring exposures then darkened the political skies and Shandley was slaughtered along with other nominees of the party on funeral cortége formed in ere conducted to Calvary that occasion. When Tweed went out of the General Committee Judge Shandley was _ clocted in his placo to the chairmacship —_of the committee from the Fourth Assembly district. He evidently felt that the sivs of the ‘‘Boss’’ had brought defeat upon his candidacy for Register, and he had the good sense to go over with what was called the reform element of bis party. In tho tall of 1874 he was elected an Alderman from the Fourth Senatorial dis- trict, which is the last elective office he held. Hi Aldermanic term expired on the 1st of January, 1876. ‘He was lately appointed one of the appraisers in the Surrogate’s office,and cecupied that position at tho time of his decease, Judge Shandley was also at one time a strong candidate for Sheriff of this county, tiad it not been for the sudden revolution which upset many of his nearest political adberents he would hayo reached this desired goal, Ho had been ailing for several months, and a hasty consumption thus terminated an eventtul political life, RESCUING A PRISONER. Judge Kilbreth, at the ¥ifty-seventh Street Police | Court, yesterday, committed for trial, on a charge of rescuing a prisoner, one Henry Stewart, who refused to give his residence, OMlcer Haynes, of the Twenty- first precinct, was the officer trom whom the rescue had been mide, He gaid that on Saturday night a dis- turbance occurred at No. 230 East Thirty-fourth eet, | in a saloon kept by Ernest Koenig and his | wife Mary. The rescued prisoner was one of the parties to the disturbance, and while the officer was on his way to the station house with him Stewart took hold of the officer abdat the body and struck bim a violent blow in the late. Tue officer then turned bis attention to Stewart, tnt ‘was able to take him to tho station house only witn tho | assistance of a Jetter carrier. Subsequently a man | named Denis Murphy was arrested for an assault on Dirs, Koenig, and thon Ernest Koenig, the propriet was arrested on complaint of his neigabors for Ke adisorderly house, Murphy was discharged by Just 1 | to | Kilbreth, bet Koenig was held for examination. — The | ness of thetr drinks, draw around them the rough: element of their immediate neighborhoods.

KILLED ON THE RAIL, | in Whitestone, and employed asa travelier for me Walsh & Co., wholesale grocers, of New York, wis crossing the drawbridge over Flushing éreek, at Central Junction, on Friday evening, whan he was struck by i locomotive and instanuy killed. His body fell over into the water aud floated away with the current, but was recovered a fow minutes afterward. Coroner Burne was called, d alter empanoiling a jury ad- journed the inquest until today, It appears that at | the time of tye accident Mr. Boerum was about mid- way oi the bridge, and as the locomotive approached froin behind, he was compelied either to jump into the water or be ran over. It is supposed that he became confused and Jost his presence of mind. It is under- stood that the locomotive had no cars attached, and it was not yet dark. Mr. Bocrum’s brother, Timothy, was severely injured a tew days ago by falling trom a scaffolding. THE RIGHT MEN TO HOLD. During the past yoar numerous burglaries have been committed on the north side of Long Island, and in almost every mstance tho burgiars bave escaped with their plunder with the aia of boats, Some three months ago the mill of Mr, Beekman H. Townsend, at | ang Downing sis, Oyster Bay, was robbed of flour and corn to the value of $300, A portion of the stolen property was found in the house of Jobn Piatt, an oid State Prison bird, residi se, and a wearch was made for Platt, but without avail until yestorday morning, when Deputy Sheriff Dickerson arrested bim Port Jeffer- son and couveyed him to the Queens County Jail When arrosted he was just about to sail for the Con- mecticut shore be me bad stolen ot Greea- to be the leader of the gung which bas been committing depredations on the north side of the island for some time past.
