BoSToS, Oct 1S.-John A. Woodward, who for
fifteen years has bcei in the service Of the treas
ury department of this city, holding during the
last few years the position of cashier is alleged to
be defaultcr TO the amount of $4,000. From the
disclosures made II appears that Woodwards first
derei ction was OH June 10, 1876, less than year
after his appointment as cashier, when he
drew check on the sinking fund for
Sl3,O00 but this lie restored a week later
His next venture was Oh January 8, 1877,
when he drew check for $4,000, having covered
his tracks successfully by moGhs of transfers from
one account to another. At various times there
after he covered deficiencies OF $4,000, S220O0 aud
10000 until the total reached $4,000 besides some
deficiencies amounting TO n few hundred dollars
in his petty accounts The sinking funds do not
lose dollar. 1t is evident that the cash Of the city
account was taken by Woodward aud the hole made
Is covered up by these checks on the sinking fund.
The sinking fund commissioners and the commit
tee on the treasury will hold meetings this

RICHMOND, Va, Oct ls.-Therc is no doubt that
Mr. Barnum has advised the withdrawal OF the
funder ticket All attempts to induce tusi on
have been rejected by the readiusterS and General
Malone is now more impracticable than ever, lie
will not move ono step toward the funders. This
Mr.. Barnum and the national committee know.
There Is nothing left for them to advise but sur
render But those offering such advice have very
little conception of the bitter quarrel in Virgnii,
II is no mere local difference. 1t reaches down to
the bedrock. A joint electoral ticket would dis.
gust both sections of the democratic party and the
result might be TO rather increase than diminish
the chances of the republicans. This Is the belief
of the fundcrs, and hence their determination not
to withdraw their ticket In obedience to the
wishes OF tho national committee. General Ma
