The steamer City of Peking returned
last evening. On account of n fracture

Paymaster Spaulding has been ar
rested and is now confined on the Re-
ceiving Ship Independence. His con-
nection with the Pinhey frauds is the
cause, though the particular charges
have not been made public. The
manner of arrest was this: Pay Di-
rector Cunningham got a dispatch
from Secretary Robson telling him
to get Spaulding to report at Mare
Island. Spauldng at once went there
and was invited on board the Inde-
pendence, when he was locked up. He
will be tried and returned to the ship
Pensacola from the Mexican coast, in
February. Pinney's frauds are now
known to foot up Sl,900,000, and
Spaulding's connection with them is
thought to be so intimate that mer-
chants and bankers here asked Robe
sons interference in the matter.
s The meeting of the dissatisfied stock
holders, in Gila held last evening was
something of fizzle. The lnvestlga-

the room. The only satisfactory busi-
ness accomplished was report from
the nominating committee naming
for trustees to be supportedby the dis
satisfied at the approaching election;
c. w. Kellog, "A. G. Stiles, HI. c.
Swain, J. ]. Holmes, George G. Clark,
which was adopted. These nominees
were duly authorized to incarany nee
essary expense to secure their own
election and pay the same out of their
own pockets, and were further inform
ed they ought to pay all expenses
hitherto incurred thereon. Theneet.

be filed that he might have time to
consider the matter.
