Fllffht from New York.
New Yobk, October 31.—The Tribune
says Woodward is still absent from Nor
walk. A week ago last Saturday he in
formed one or two business associates that
he was going to Chicago in the capacity of
the president of the Fairfield County i'ire
Insurance Company to adjust tbe same's
losses incurred by the fire. The following
Monday he took an eastward bound train,
and next day his wite left Norwalk, as she
stated, to find him in New York. He had
at this time, however, ceased to be presi
dent of the insurance company, having
transferred his stock, amounting to $10,000,
as the books of the corporation show; and
although his resignation has not been re
ceived by the secretary, his position is, of
course, vacant. A very general impression
prevails that he has gone to Canada, and
the fact of his taking an eastward train is
evidence
the fact of his taking an eastward train is
strong evidence and corroborative proof.
Attempt te Bern an Aaoeeaer's Office.
Washington, October 31.—Assessor Shat
tuck, of Mississippi, reports that on the
night of the twenty-second instant an at
tempt was made to burn the assessor's office
at Okoiona, but the fire was extinguished
before anv material damage was done. The
assessor thinks there is no doubt that the
fire was done by fiends belonging to the
Ku-Kiux, five of whom have been arrested.
On that evening he was confined to his
house. Threats were freely made against
the life of Mr. Hall, the assessor's clerk, for
the part he took in the affair. Assessor
8hattaek suggests that troops be stationed
there for the protection of government
property. Excitement runs high.
The Newest Seasatlea.
A woman a wooer is the last sensation.
It appears that some years ago Miss Ayers,
a wealthy aad cultivated lady of Philadel
phia, fefl in love with Colonel Downing,
ehiefof the Cherokee Nation. The chief
was then married, bnt she became so deeply
intonated iff him and his people that she re
moved to Talequah and devoted herself to
the elevation of the nation. Shortly alter
■he adopted Lewis Downing, son of the
chief, n bright and promising boy, and has
since watched over his training and educa
tion with more than motherlv care. A year
ago she bnilt, ostensibly for aim, an elegant
residence, overlooking the beautiful village,
and famished it with artistic taste. A few
month* since occurred the death of Mrs.
Downing, n fall-blooded Cherokee; and now
comes the climax, for n few days ago the
chief led to the altar his long-time admirer.
The saying, "Faint heart never won fair
lady," mum now be reversed.
There is a Virginia girl in Wyoming whose
aged parents, before the war, were worth a
quarter of a million of dollars. Peace be
tween the sections brought nothing bat pov
erty to the old people, and for the last three
years their noble daughter has kept them
from actual want by working out among
the farmers by the day. Daring last har
yest she made $18 a week in the fields.

not accept a eent of charity from anybody.

Tweed's Defease.
[From the St. Louis Republican.)
New York. October 31.—John Graham
and William Bartlett have been retained by
Tweed to conduct his defense in tbe ease
brought against him by tbe attorney gen
eral. Tweed feels conndent that all will
work favorably. He claims that the checks
for certain amounts drawn by Woodward
and deposited to his (Tweed's') credit, were
for moneys advanced to contractors to en
able them to prosecute their works, Wood
ward being a silent partner with toe or two
of the contractors, who paid Tweed back
and advanced sums the moment they were
paid by the controller.
Mr. Graham claims that he will show for
j
promissory notes and assignment of claims
sufficient to cover all the amounts of his
deposits. This Mr. Tweed imagines will
I enable him to go into court with perfectly
I fisods.
I on e8t e crat here however,

count for these enormous amount*deposited

Washington, October 30.— Tbe Board of

the Solicitor of the Treasury, who held that
no international law or treaty bad been vio

The board say that, notwithstanding the
law of Jane 8,1864, to prevent collisions
upon the water, the mercantile steam ma
rine of the United States bad for a long
lime prior to that law been required under
tbe rules and regulations of the board to
cany tbe bright light at the foremast head
and tbe colored lights as now required by
law. and in addition thereto a bright liglit
at the stern of tbe vessel, which latter was
deemed indispensably necessary for steam
ers navigating rivers and channels where
range lights and beacons were used on
shore. The act referred to brought nothing

prehensive system than the new law pro
vided, nor did that act prescribe any penalty
for violation of its provisions.
After a practical application of the law
to steam vessels for a while. Congress re
stored the stern light to steamera, and per
mitted tbe bright light to be carried ahead
or on the stern where the steamer was not
equipped with a foremast. Aside from this
the American system of lights on steamers
is identical with that of the mercantile
shipping act, tbe system being observed
alike and in common by all steamers in our
waters, whether American or foreign, and
no cases have come to the knowledge of the
board of departure from tbe merchant ship

the board say this signal is desirable for a
steamer to enable her pilot to discover the
position of the sail vessel, and shonld not
be regarded as an additional light carried
any more than the rocket of distress or a
