not to he found. Attachments, however,
.have been issued upon the property interests
of the indicted absentees. ' We presume this
- result has been fully anticipated by those
who have watched the steady unfolding of
the evidence of this organized and most gi-
gantic system of public robbery. We have
~ hitherto purposely avoided joining in the
clamor raised by the city journals, particu-
larly in reference to Mr. Woodward, because
.we- knew that many, and indeed most, of
their statements concerning his financial
transactions here were either totally false or
else absensationally distorted as to convey
no correct idea of the true.condttion of his
affairs, and because of the certaininjury to
result to entirely innocent parties, to he
business interests of our town,its fair name,
and its growth and prosperity. ~We. had
most sincerely hoped, against irresistible
conviction, that the averments made by Mr_
Woodward’s friends that he, at least, would.
be able'to clear himself of all charges, would
prove correct. But _ the records of the,
Broadway Bank, with the fiight'Of Wood;
ward, amount to inevitable moral convic-
tion,whatever may be the technicalities of
the law. We should now be derelict in
duty, as journalists, if we failed to give the
evideime made public, even in face of the
dict that many whom we esteem and our
community confide in and respect, must suf-
fer mortification‘ and financial embarrass
ment. It ought tobe stated that the trans-
fors of property made by Mr. Woodward
prior to his departure, are by no' means so
large as represented, and one who ought to
know assures us that none of his property
was transferred with fraudulent intent.
_ Our records show he still holds inhis own‘
name, more than a quarter of a million of
, real estate and mortgages. We have had
in time past some severe tilts with Mr.
Woodward, politically and in a measure
. personally, but we give place to the damag-
ing evidenpe against him in no other spirit
than that of the sincerest sorrow and regret.
The charges in the indictment, are briefly
as follows z—' ' .
The whole number of warrants drawu in
favor of and paid to Ingersoll,Garvey,Wood-
ward & Co., amounted to $6,812,541 37, and
this all between the 8th of May and the 1st
of September, 1870. Ingersoll transferred
checks to Woodward amounting to $1,817,-
467 49, while. be. deposited warrants to the
amount of $3,501,584 50, and a check of
Garvey, drawn in his favor, amounting to
$47,744 68'. Garvey deposited warrants to
the amount Of $1,177,413 72, besides draw-
ing a checkin favor of Woodward for $731,-
871 01. Woodward deposited his own war-
rants amounting to $1,032,715 76. He paid
over to Tweed and deposited for him $932,-
858'50, while he gave checks to parties not
traced, ' amounting to $2,649,195 70. ‘Mr.
Tweed did noteven take the trouble of ma-
king out the ordinary bank statement that
accompanies a deposit. .Woodward did the
work for him. The revelations about Mr.
Tweed’s share of the plunder, received by
the companies in which he is a partner, are
as explicit and as startling. on one' day,
June 7, 1870 $343,395 19, were drawn from
the Trees. On the next day Wilbour gave
Tweeda check for $104,883 04, which was
deposited in the Broadway Bank. This
was TWeed's share of one {day’s payment
out of the treasury. Woodward was a
clerk in the Board of Supervisors, but his
- principal duties, it appears, were to be the
cashier of the Ring—the man to divide the
'money afier‘it was received.

Fire Insurance.
The amount of insurance risks which have
been transferred since the Chicago fire is a
thing unprecedented. The Norwalk Insur-
'anc‘e Co. has taken time by the foretop and
by greatly increasing its capital will be in a
situation to take advantage of the immense
volume ofnew business now pressing from
those hitherto uninsured or insured in the
broken companies. This company did not
lose a dollar at Chicago and is a home insti-
tution, managed by our best men.

Dr. Barbour amputated » his leg, but‘ his re-
covery is doubtful on account of the severe

was sitting on the east side. The train was

WASHINGTON, OCT. 28.+The President
has issued the following proclamation _:
The progress of the seasons has again ena:
bled the husbandman to garner the films of
successful toil. Industry has been generally
well rewarded. We are at peace wrth all
nations,. and tranquility, With .few excep-
tions,,prevails at home; Within the past -
yearwe have in the main been free from ills
which elsewhere have affected our kind. If
some Of us have had calamities, there IS
an occasionfor sympathy with the sufferers;
of resignation on their part to the Will of
the Most High, and of rejoicing to the many
who have been more favored. I therefore
recommend that on Thursday, the 30th day .
of November next, the people meet In their
respective placesof worship and there make
the usual ackn0wled ments to Almighty
God for the blessings e has conferred upon
them for their merciful exemption from
evils, and invoke His protection and kind-
ness for less fortunate brethren, whom, in
His wisdom, he has deemed it best to chas-
tise. In faith whereof, I have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal Of the United
States to be aflixed.

nity should do somethin for those who have
suffered so terribly in Michigan and Wiscon-

tributions and also suggests that pastors of

money, clothing and blankets, and forward
them; and that country postmasters estab-

Newspaper Quarrela. _ . ~
The Nation this week has a short para-
graph in regard to the disposion to keep up
a warfare between newspapers, and very
sensibly-observes :, ‘
We have always wondered, and shall
never cease to wonder, how it is the editors
of newspapers have not found out ‘ how
utterly nauseating to the great bulk of their
readers these quarrels with each other are,
and how very few people read them, and
how'completely all interest in them is con-
fined to other newspaper men. The wonder
too, is made all the greater by the fact that
no newspaper was probably ever yet injured
in circulation or influence by what another
newspaper said of it. The success of a pa-
per, and the estimation in which it is held,
depend, as in the ease of individuals, On its
general character—that is, on prolonged
experience of the way in which it does its
work, and of the value of its judgments of
men and affairs. Any paper which has
gained a respectable footing in these respects
cannot be in the least injured by another
paper’s saying every new and then that it is
a fool, a liar, or a knave. - .

Shall Women Have a Chance to Le
- a Trade.
Letter from Theodore Tilton to the St. Louis Labor
Congress.V
Mnnnnns OF THE CONVENTION: If I
could he in St. Louis at your meeting, I
would bega hearing in person in behalf of
an idea specially important to the working
classes, namely, a rearrangement of your
‘crafts, and particulary of the finer mechan-
ical pursuits, so as to give to woman an
equal chance with men to earn a livelihood
by well-paid toil. I believe in women. . SO-
‘does ever man who remembers his mother,
his sister, or his wife. Eagerly do I share in
the sentiment-that every man should support
some woman-his heart’s mate Whom he
loves, and for whom he strives. The
chivalry which makes the strong. sex the
natural protector of the weak runs in every'
true man’s blood. 'Nor can any one he more,
sensitive than I to all the pretty phrases
with which the poets paint and gild it. 'But
turning from the poetry of life and looking
haveVno other prOtector than their own wom-
anly selves: who have no other livelihood
than their own weary hands, and who have
no other comforts than, they can purchase
with their own meager wages. '
Now, these women, to earn money, must
learn trades. ' But in entering trades, they
compete with men; .for men‘a're already in
all trades—even to the making of women’s
skirts and children’s pinafortes.‘ As a con-
sequence men, instead Of being women’s
natural protectors, become in reality' their
natural enemies. For instance; in m 'own
business, which is printin , Ivknow of , eard-
ed and brawny .com’pos tOrs Who, while
ieking up at their finger-ends a comertable
iving at their cases, will redden in the face
and shatter the fourth commandment incin-
phssiziss the EOROSitiOll theme-net: have
no natural rig t to set types. And yet the
swiftest type-setter’I‘ ever saw was'a woman.
The world is large enough " for both sexes—
otherwise God would not have _set them both
in it. Being)in it, and having both to fight
bravely the attic Of life, they ought each to
help and not to hinder the other in winning
the victory. 'It must be a mean mafiwho
will begrudge a woman a chance to earn an
wife should become a widow, or his daugh-
ter an orphan, and what if either should be
bitterly forced to work: at .a trade for the
sake -.of ‘filling - their . children’s uphungry
months? I can fancy that such a man
would he repentanr in his very grave at the
remorseihl recollection ’of havmg‘clOse’d the
gates of opportunity to‘ any struggling
daughter of God. . .
Sufi‘er me, therefore, to say point-blank
(though I mean no offense by it) that it the
capitalist have hitherto oppressed the work-
ingmen, and this I must confess, so also'the
workingmen have hitherto ' oppressed the
workingwomen, and this you must confess.
Nor confess it only, nor better it in part,
but reform it altogether. Let the Old griev-
ance be now brought to a happy end. You
are a body of noble and. generous souls.
Speak at St. Louis a word that shall gladden

As usual, the New York Circus had a

be so much a matter of course that the Cir-

than could have been expected under the

to move in October; but poverty compels
acquaintance , with, strange bed-chambers, as
well as fellows. We have to record the
moving of one of - the largest families in
town, at this inclement season of the year.
It was observed, however, that none appar-.
.ently regretted the change; and ‘the aristo-
cratic airs put on by some members'of the
family, upon taking possession of their new
domicile, was not only amusing, but clearly
proved. that the parties had been familiar
with better conditions in life. . Everybody.
voted the change for the better, andseemed
to thank the Selectmen for. it—even though
so late‘in- the season. . It is hadly.»_necessary

of gigantic robberies of the county treasury.
Whatever-may be the legal result of the im-
pending prosecution, the moral verdict of
the community is not uncertain. Nobody
can doubt that Mr. Tweed is a public r'ob-
er.
The’affidavit of Mr. Tilden explains,with
sufi‘lcrent clearuess, the method of investi a-
tion by which he-reached the dams ng
facts, . We. will begin by describing Wood--
,ward. This individualvwas a mere deputy
clerk of the Board. of Supervisors. Owing
his lace-to Mr. Tweed androceiving a
small. salary,1he. would seem to » be‘one 'of
the. last persOns whose conduct could're-
quire public discussion. But when we find
that this obscure, insignificant. person, this
mere deputy clerk, deposited in the Broad-
way Bank,m~the course of three months,the
enormous'sum of three and a‘half-million
dollars. . We are startled and puzzled. Was ‘V
it his own money, or ‘was it somebod ’s
elsel- IfVany body chooses to‘ believe at
this obscure deputy clerk, Woodward, de-
posited in the Broadway Bank his own mo-
ney to that enormous amount, let. the-be
liever tell his story to “the marines." If it
wasWoodward’s money.-how did he acquire
it? Why should a man with so hea ‘a
bank account consent to do petty cle cal
drud ery,~at a small 'com ensation, for the
Boar of Supervisors ? " t wouldbe. ridicu-
lous to, suppose that it was his money, and
.not somebody’s else money," that he deposit-
edin such prodigious sums in the Broadway
Bank. Woodward was evidently a' man-of
straw, a tool of others, 'and a convenient
blind to screen their transactions. But' why
should the ne’edthis serviceable, this serv-
ile screen -What possible objection can
any honest man-have to keepin his bank
accounts in his own name? ' his man
Woodward’s final indorsement of great
ounts of cit arrants and his enormous
posits in the roadway Bank, are such
presumptive evidence‘of fraud as. to chal-
enge scrutiny. ' . , .:'
In pursuing his investigations in the
Broadway Bank, Mr. Tilden got a clue to
some very startling facts. The convenient
tool and man of slraw,Woodward, not only
made many deposits in the bank, but, them
time to time, at frequent intervals, drew
checks against those deposits. Woodward’s
checks tell a_singular story. Woodward
draws a check, on one day, for so many
dollars and cents, and on the very same day
Mr. Tweed makes a deposit in the bank of
precisely the amount, dollar for dollar, cent
The next day, or a day or two “after, Wood-
ward draws another check, and on the very
same day Tweed'makes another deposit ex-
actly equal _-in amount to Woodward's
check. This business goeson for months-
with‘the “same precise and curious corres-
pondence between the figures \of ,Wood-
ward’s checks and the fi res of Tweed’s
simultaneous deposits. e conclusion is
irresistablc that the money originally de-
posited by Woodward was Tweed’s money,
dishonestly acquired, deposited in the bank
in a fraudulent name, under a false pretense,
and restored to the real owner by Wood-
ward’s checks. .
