Well, the latter part ofJune Mr. Theo dore Tack told me it was necessary to come to Philadelphia; that he was coming on here to do what -is called settle—in the oil business they call it, at the <.close of the month; "settling" time for that particular month; and he stated that one of his rea- Bens for coming on was that he had busi ness in-Philadelphia; that he wanted to be present here With his brother Augustus at settling time. The second reason was that be was coming on to Philadelphia to give his own personal attention, hi addition to his brothers', to this whole matter of his own contracts and my contracts and all the contracts he was interested in. He told me this, that he purposed bringing with him no t ooo of United States bonds, which he firm) said h in e h the ad t Exchange henlodged Nati jbelo ona n l. Bank g at tO his Pittsburgh. His object in bringing that ,r 20,000 in United States bonds with hun was that, if necessary, when he got herein going still further "short" of oil Sometimes they require a margin of ap dol lar a barrel, or whatever the special agree ment may be—he required it for that pur pose, as well as to protect his own interests and the interests of myself lind all his cus tomers, and that he would fully report $43 and advise me precisely how every thing worked in Philadelphia and, let me know about it. He started and cluile to Phila delphia for that express purpose—now I didn't see him get into the cars to come here. Q. But you missed him from Pittsburgh? A.

I told film I had met Mr. Guthrie' on Fifth street, and I had asked him how oil was, and he ha very me by telling me it d had jumped much to thirty cents. He was very much excited about it-.the market was very much excited-and I, asked hint if he was joking? He said no, it was really so. I asked hint what..as the cause of it. He'told me I bad better go. See Mr. Frank Tack. He told*me he was then in a great tinny; he was huntingaround for certain parties to call upon them for the de liveries of their oil, and he wanted to know, where he would find Mr. Finney, whit 'was . a seller of oil on his own individual account, as well asa, partner of mine in theae trans actions. • I went , immediately • to Frank Tack's office and saw hint. • • Q.

Theodore was thereat that time, and so was Auirustus. He told me, not - to feel unease about it—not to feel worried; that what oil brokers said was as a rule not very reliable, and that I must not believe everything I heard. He told me to go home and keep cool and quiet, and he would let me know as soon as he received his dispatches. That was about the conversation. Q. When did you next see him? A. Well, either that day or The next, day he came up to my house in person. I was in my bath-room. A. [Mr. Cassidy.) Who did? A. Mr. Frank Tack. I opened the bath room door and Frank Tack was there, and he poked at me a telegram, and as I was wet and undressed and every thing of that kind, I told him to tell me what he had to say. He told me that that day, as far as I recollect, the fuss that- had occurred -at Philadelphia, owing to the seizure of a very large quantity of refined petroleum here; that General Cummings, the collec tor of the district, had made a i raid• upon the refined netroleum of the city. .- Mr. Cassid,y. This is what he told von? A. Well, I .can't tell his exact worts; it is an- impossibility for me to recite every man's exact words, for the last nine or ten months. • id Q. ? That General_ Cummings had made a ra A. Well, I don't know that he made use of the words, but he stated that the excite ment was owing to the fact that - General Cummings, the collector of this port, had seized very large quantities or immensq quantities of refined oil, and that that had produced great excitement in the trade. And I asked him what was the cause of it, and he said he did not know; but that Gus. Tack, his brother, would go to Washing tim, and see U. S. Commissioner Rollins, and have the thing rectified, anti that he would go after General Cumminft, and get him removed from his office; it was that serious a matter. I then went and told my partner, Mr. Finney all about it, what he had told me. ( Q. What was the next advice you had? A. I think the next advice after that was that Mr. Frank Tack told me that Gus. bad 'been to Washington city, and got the mat ter straightened out there. Mr. Cassidy. .This conversation with Mr. Tack you speak of was on the sth of July*? A. No. I don't know that it was on the sth of July. Q. I understood you to say so. A. Oh, the conversation about Mr. Guth rie was on the sth of 3uly, and this; - I, think, was the next day. Jude Brewster. That would be the 6th. A. The 6th; that is my impression; * there has been so much said about this thing that I can't possibly state exactly Mr. Cassidy. It is marvellous you re member so much. A. I will try to give you all I know. [Letter of July 3, 1867, to Mr. O'Connor, read to the jury.] you Q, Yousaid got that letter on the sth of July, • A. To the best of. my recollection, I gat that on the Morning o•' the sth. , Q. Whai did you do then, after you got that letter _ ? A. Well, oil did not go clown. Q. Did you remain in Pittsburgh? A. Yes sir. Q. Did Theodore return ? A. He returned a few days subsequent to that? _ 'Q. Did you see him ? A. Yes, sir. In the first place he came home on Saturday or Sunday: the first• person I saw after that was Prank Tack: he met me at the door going into church, and showed .me a letter _that he had got from the firm. I think it was in Gus's hand- - giving.me a message. It read thus: "Tell O'Connor that his contracts—" Mr. Cassidy. Where is the letter? A. It was his own letter. Ho has it. Q. 'Whose (letter? A. Gus. Tack's letter to. Tack Bros.' & Co.; Pittsburgh; And he read me the let ter, and gave me the letter, and I showed it to Mr. Finney and after that I retuined it to him, • Mr. es.ctsady: What was the date of this interview? A. Probably along the Bth or 9th or 10th of July, It was subsequent to the sth. Q. What did he state A. The letter stated: "Tell O'Connor his contracts are all right; that he will make money; after the delivery of. all they were bound to deliver, they would have a sur plus of several thousand • barrels of oil which they could loan to their friends. I don't say these were' the exact words, but that is the substance of the letter. And he then stated that same, day that Theodore had gat home, but was very tired and would not see me on Sunday unless I insisted upon it. Frank brought me this letter and showed me it—it was from the Philadelphia house—giving me the latest news. • He then stated about Theodore's arrival and that he was very tired and that it being Sunday, that he preferred not seeing me unless I insisted upon it; that he was tired and had been hard at work in Philadelphia, and would meet me next morning at Mr. Fin nev's office.

They ',were largely short of oil yet; for me to feel easy about it, because all the oil that could be "called" from him as my agent was during the month ofJuly, and would• not amount to but very little money ; and that this lit tle temporary thing would pass away and that I would be all right. Ho also told me that Mr. Crucy's circulars, stating that there- were a very large number of ves sels - loading for Europe; an immense de mand, and every thing of that kind, had also added to the stimulation of the market.

[Witness again interrupted by defence.] [Mr. O'Connor—Do you want to know exactly the very time I saw him?) [District Attorney -0 no.] What next conversation? A. Well, the most important matter was that I sent for him to come to my house on the 27th of July, and he came to my house in Pittsburgh about three o'clock in the af ternoon, and I told him if was asserted that he had betrayed my confidence. I told him that I was advised that be and others had gotten up this "corner"' by which I would lose a large sum of money, and I told him I wanted to know, what he had to say about it. Mr. Theo. Tack _said that those state ments that had been made that their firm or he or other parties had gotten up this "corner," or were instrumental in all -this thing, he said those statements were not true. ,I told him that I would come on: t Philadelphia and investigate it fully, that would tramit up, and if it was not true I would be very glad of it, because I had thought up to that moment a great deal of him. Q. [By Mr. Cassidy.] This is what you said to him ? A. Yes sir, this is what I told him, ex actly word for word. He then saidi would have hard work to prove it, I replied to that, "Theodore that is not the . answer of an honest man; if it is biro Twill prove it, and if it is true and I prove it, you had bet ter be in some unmentionable - place than be where you are." - Q.

I said to him, word for word, "that if I was true and I found it out to be so, and that he had betrayed my confidence and gone after and robbed me, that he had better be in hell." That was my language, sir. Q. What did he say to this? A. He did not reply at all. He got up and left the room: Igot in the carriage, went to the depot, and came to Philadel phia that afternoon. Q. Who did you see when you got to Philadelphia? A. I went with Mr. Finney to bee Mr. Augustus Tick, the partner of Theodore, ,(who has an office here on Walnut street',) on" Monday morning. 'Q.

It is a fact that, in the minds of many persons, a prejudice exists against what are called patent medicines; but why should this prevent you resort ing to an article that has such an array of testimony to support it as HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT TERS? Physicians prescribe it; why shout(' you discard It f. Judges ; usually considered men of tal ent, have used anddo use It In their famlllesl-whY should you reject It? Let notour prejudice usurp. your reason to the everlasting injury of your health. If you are sick, and require a medicine, try these Bitters. When the bodily energies are worn out. by anxiety gad need a stimulant, this iB the best that can be taken. It is tempered and modified by hygienic herbs and roots, which prevent It froto levering the blood, and hence It does not produce a mere tempo.; rary excitement, to be followed by injurious reac tion, but communicates a permanent potency to the entire vital organization. Some of its herbal eon ' stituents are slightly soporific, so that in cases where sleeplessness is one of the accompaniments of ner vous disease, a dose of It taken towards bedtime will tend to produce quiet and refreshing slumber. For palpitation of heart, tremors, hysterics, faint ing fits, eneral restlessness and the causeless fears and dl resting fancies to which ladies are especially subjec under certain morbid conditions of mind an,. ' y peculiar to their sex, the Bitters will be I f found the most agreeable and certain of all counter irritants. • om 14- ne, : ck ate cy d The constitutionally nervous may readily keep their infirmity In constant check by the daily use of this healthful vegetable: tonic; and those who have "shattered their nerves ' " as the phrase is, either -by imprudent indulgenceor undue physical or intel lectual labor, will find in this vitalizing elixir a prompt restorative. .
