SAN FRANCISCO, April 20.-The boot
and shoe makers and dealers last night
met and formed an anti Coolie Club.
The Greenback Club OF this city held
a meeting last evening and determined
to forward the National Currency move
ment as much as possible by the adoption
of the following resolutions;
Resolved. That all persons favorable
to the new currency movement are
hereby requested to meet in the Conven-
ton to be held in Sacramento April Goth
to choose twelve delegates to attend the
National Greenback Convention in In
dianapolis May 18th.
A second meeting of the dissatisfied
stockholders Of the Leopard mine was
held last evening, Mr.. Roberts presid-
ing. The report of the Investigating
Committee was read and accepted. It
consisted OF copy of the books and bus
mess done, during the year 1875 and the
first two months OF 1876. The vouchers
had been examined and accounts found
correct. The report charged no dishon-
esty on the part OF the officials, but
seemed to imply, without stating it, that
everything was all right. All that was
found out of the way was, in the opinion
OF the committee, that the mill should
have been shut down and the work dis
continued some time before it was, as it
did not pay. A motion finally WAS made
that the committee be authorized and
empowered to call meeting of the
Leopard stockholders and do all in their
power to GUST the present management
and collect all the stock they were able
for the purpose of electing new board.
Unanimously carried.
