The New York Herald OF Saturday, speaking
of the stock market on the previous day, says :
1.-THE Southern list was more active and generally
higher. 1t seems 10 be settled that tile acting
Governor Of North Carolina cannot defeat the
wish Of the Legislature and people for state
convention, and hence North Carolinas were in
good request at further advance in prices. The
KuKlux outrages near Columbia seem 10 have
their depressing influence on the South Carulinas,
which showed strong recuperative tendency,
and were one and a half per cent. higher than
when the news Of these outrages reached the
market"

The Shasta courier., 1871-02-25

SOME days since, Colonel Whitley,
Chief of the Secret Service, received in
formation that one J. B Blackman, an
importer of diamonds in Broadway, near
Maiden lane, New York, had succeeded in
smuggling into the country precious stones
to the value of $50 1000, which he was said
to have kept from the prying eyes of the
inustom- house officials by concealing them
IN false calves attached to his legs. His
information being sufficiently precise to
warrant an arrest Colonel Whitley visited
the office of Blackwan as a diamond mer-
chant from the West, and the unsuspect-
ing dealer Immediately walked into the
trap by displaying his wares, which he
said he could afford to Sell cheap, as they
had not passed through the Custom-house.
Colonel Whitley then arrested him, and
recovered about one-third of the smug-
gled diamonds, which vary from one half
carat to one and three quarters carat each,
and are worth from 500 to S40O each.
The prisoner was taken to Ludlow Street
Jail
