Boston, a city of less than 100000 in
habitants, il taxed enormously. The
assessment for the current year is nearly
s., 900 ,0OO.
Virginia registered bonds fell from IS
to 80 within a few days.
The particulars Of a gold swiudling
operation in May, 1865, by which a bro
ker named John Ross fraudulently OBJ
tanned 100000 in gold from various
bankers in New York, have finally come
to light. The money was obtained by
gold certificates, apparently signed by
the Continental bank. Ross escaped
with his booty in a vessel named the
Dakota, which was kept in readiness for
the purpose of carrying him away. He
is now presumed to be IN Brazil, where
he is safe FROM the clutches Of United
States officials, there beingnO eXtradi-
ton treaty between the two countries.
Several suits have grown out Of the case,
two firms suing the Continental bank
for the sums named on the gold certifi-
Gates, and claiming that the signatures
are genuine.
It is stated on the authority of Mr..
Ransom, the national bank examiner, |
that from the examination of the cashier
of the First national bank Of Newton, that
the transactions by which the bank was
ruined occurred within tw~enty-four hours
of their discovery, except one operation
Tuesday, which, like the others, was
concealed from all the directors except
Mr.. Carter. It appears that the name of
Mellen, Ward & Co. does not occur in the
loan of the bank, and that no loans to
them were ever sanctioned by the d.
r~ectors, except on government bonds or
cash securities. The cashier admits that
he was not authorized 20 make any loan
Of securities or funds Of the bank in
on his own responsibility.
