1 Confidence Game.
The latest sensation in the way of confi
dence"gaines transpired in this city during
the present week. A young woman, who,
like all other Confidence operators, is a
stranger in the city, a few days since sue
ceeded in gaining the confidence of a prom:
inent young gentlenian in the city, and af
ter inducing him to go with her to a house
of ill fame, attempted to extort money
from him by prosecuting him for raps, The
deluded young man was arrested and gave
bail for a hearing, which took place yester
day. In the course of the hearing it trans
pired from the testimony of the prosecu
trix that the man was the victim. That she
had previously been at the house referred,
too awl made arrangements for the second
visit. The Alderman ' before whom the in
f. rmation was made, after bearing the tes
timony of the prosecuting witnesses,
thedis
ateasione,
ppearsple her particular forte, sought to
perseverance

to' a certain extent succeeded. She ttp

hbuse, where she had taken the young
man, with keeping a bawdy house. The
accused was arrested and the case compro
mised by the payment of ten dollars to the
confidence woman by the proptiotress of
le bagnio.
Yesterday afternoon the driver of a one
horse wagon left his vehicle in front of a
grocery store on Liberty street while he
went inside the establishment to transact
some business. Coming out in a few min
utes hellbund the horse and vehicle miss
.
ing, and son looking down tie street he saw
them in charge of a man who was hurrying
off. as fast as the horse could travel.
He immediately raised an alarm and
started after the thief, followed by several
policemen and a large crowd of people.
The retreating thief turned down St. Clair
street and from to Duquesne Way,
still continuing the that
rapidity of his flight
and followed by tho crowd. At lasts flank
movement was made by the pursuing par
ty, heading off the runaway as lie was
returning from the Point by way of a se
cluded cross street: The thief, however,
finding himself foiled, jumped from
the vehicle and disappeared. The owner
of the turnout was glad enough to get
his property back, and made no farther ox
ertions to catch the bold operator. The
affair occasioned considerable excitement in
the vicinity. but when the result was known
it quickly calmed down. For audacious
impudence and reckless daring, the opera.
tion was certainly an unnsually conspieu
•ous one, and almost terminated with suc
cess.
Audacious Attempt.
Re-Arrested.
The two men.arrested by officer Irwin on
suspicion that they were the parties who
had perpetrated the robbery at the National
Trust. Company's banking house, an ac
count of which we published several days
since, as we stated yesterday, were dis
charged. Yesterday morning officer Gum
bert made another information, charging
them with the same offence,and re-arrested
them at, the Rush House. hey_ were taken
to the Mayor's office, and after a hearing
His Honor committed Daniel Burns for a
further hearing, and Themes Mulligan was
committed for two days, at the expiration
of which, if there is no further reason for
his detention than now appears, he will be
discharged. One of the witnesses exam
ined testified that he was just entering the
bank when the men who had stolen the
money were running out, and from the ap
pearance of Burns he believed he-was one
of the men, but he would not say positively
that ho was. The man answers precisely
the description the witness gave of the one
whom he met in tne door of- the bank,
although the description was given before
the arrest of the suspected parties.
Alleged Outrage.
Isabella Scahill relates a story which
in substance is as follows: She resides in
Lawrenceville, and on Wednesday evening
started out in company with a male
friend to take a walk. They had not pro
ceeded far when an acquaintance of her
companion joined them and was introduced
as Mr. Relley. Soon after the friend with
whom she had started out excused himself
and left her in charge of Kelley. The two
continued the walk, turnip{off from But
ler street toward the Allegheny river.
Reaching the track of the Allegheny Val
ley Railroad they walked along it a short
distance When, on Arriving at a secluded
spot, Kelley made indecent proposals to
tier which site indignantly spurned, and en
deavored to get away, but he detained her,
and by force succeeded in accomplishing
his vitiations design, after which he tied.

The' 011 Trade.
'MRS473.I. EDITOBS GAZETTE: The East
ern circulars received to-day, showing the
condition of the markets up to Saturday,
12th inst., give us the following indications
for the fall trade : -
--- -
The stock of refined oil in Philadelphia,
including that already on board ves
sels, is just about equal to the tonnage en
gaged.
Some two wee s
a t
will be required to load
and clear this st k out of the markets. In
the mean time he shipments from Pitts
burgh to Phil elphia average 3,000 bar
rels per day, or 0,000 barrels per month.
We find also hat the clearances for the
last six days am not tone irly 2,000,000 (two.
mil ion) galloris, er 50,000 (tifty thousand)
barrels of oil. /
We find also that we have exported this
year 69,000,000 (sixty-nine million) gallons,
again-t 41,500,000 (forty-one million •five
hundred thopsand) last year; np to this
time, or about 66 (sixty-six) per cent. more
oil has gone out of the country this year
than last year, up to this date. Af er seeing
n
they
these facts, let! us imagine what has become
of this great e cess of oil. Has it been con
sumed? the y making further shipments
r
a necessity, ris it still on hand in Europe,
awaiting a arket.
From our ()reign circulars just received,
and from f reign correspondence, deemed
reliable by the writer of this, as it consists
of letters written from one merchant to an
other, we find first: that the stock on hand
in _Antwerp is forty thousand barrels in ex
cess of stock there same time last year,
whilst her Aexpeditious" (shipments to the
interior) are Only four thousand barrels per
week, against six thousand same date last
year.
- (
Secon4, Stook in Marseilles twenty thous
and barrels in, excess of last year, which fur
this port is perfectly tremendous.
Third. Stock in Bremen is difficult to as
certain, but all accounts agree in naming
it as unrwecedentedly large, so much so that it
is impostibie any longer to get insurance
on oil.
Bremen is doing a larger business than
formerly, but - not iufficiently so, in the
judgment of the writer, to use up the large
excess of stock. Last year the trade of this
city was largely made up of orders from
the Mediterranean, but our advices this
year agree that the stocks through all
Southern Europe are lifgely in excess, and
some think that this part 'of Europe has
sufficient refined oil to last during this and
the next season. We are inclined to be
lieve this, because we find , :no orders in
the market now for any of these ports."
The shipments for the past week or two
have been mainly on English account, very
few orders having been received from Con
tinental Europe. and the demand for the
former is now filled,_._
These facts argue strongly against any
perntahent advance in the price of oil. The
fact aftpears to' be that during the first part
of the year we had an advancing market,
and the shipments to all ports were largely
in excess,of the actual demand for consump
tion. Now, the stocks being everywhere
larger than the trade requires, the conse
quence is, there are almost literally no or
ders .for further shipments and prices are
ttilllbfing rapidly. Add to this the fact now
established, and admitted by all informed
dealers, that the production is fully thir
teen thousand barrel- per day and still in
creasing, and the problem of prices of pe
troleum for 1868 is easily solved. On the
other hand the butts are not yet. all dead,
and intend even yet to make a desperate
effort some time and in some way to revive
the present drooping market, in order to
get rid of their high priced contracts.
In what way they intend to do this it is
hard (to guess; but that the effort wit/ be
made, is as sure as fate. But they will fail
in the end. During the last of September or
the first of October, the writer expects to
hear the first outcroppings of this last
movement, and would not be surprised to
find the markets temporarily firmer, but
theri3 is no good reason for any advance,
and no reason why there, should not be a
steady and permanent dec ine from this timer
on till the end of the season
The great trouble in th way, is far the
bulls to unload, as there is no one Willing
to buy. The exporters a e out of the mar
ket and the figures are t high for specu
lators to take hold. Thi being the case,
we may reasonably exueet to see a contin
uation of the present break, interrupted
probably by spasmodic efforts to give tone
to the market, and in the end find ourselves
buying oil t twenty-ve cnts per gallon
for refined i a n Philade n lphia, e and seven to
eight cents for crude in Pittsburgh.

The itch. on purpose to be scratched.
Notoriety is the next best thing to cele
brity;" the difference is, the one is evanes
cent, the other immortal; one is market
able, the` other priceless; one serves for
fools, the other for the wise. Either has its
province, to deck the brow of "worth the one
to bare the aim of knaves the other. Ar
gument on hypothesis alone is as idle as
legitimate reasoning is ineffective on nar
row and imbecile minds, and therd is no
surer evidence of the absence of proof, in
a discussion or controversy, than an
offer to bet; in fact it is an old
maxim that "betting is a fool's argu
ment." Wherever a man makes money,
the convincing power, his subject and
resources of arm:Ai - tient are exhausted, and
this was, in truth, the point reached by
the nondescript 'agent of the Weed Sow

'Yesterday theeDemooracy obtained from
some mysterious source the intelligence
that Maine would not give more than sev
.
sateen thousand majority. This inspired
the Democrats somewhat, and their money
was readily offered in wagers on the result
not being over seventeen thousand. Their
baits', we need not say, were readily taken
by the Republicans. Later in the' day the
news from Maine confirmed the majority
as "ever 20,000," and bettirig again begame
spirited, the Republicans this time
the offerers on the latter figures. 'Probablybeing
during the day fully twenty thouudol
lars were staked on the majority inner ` .
the wages varying from fifteen up to tw
ty thousand majority. We are quire .n.
fident that many Democrats will feel so
in pocket when the actual figures are mad;

Those gentlemen, the Carson Brothers;
having ingloriously failed to make good
their published assertions, some one over
their signature next indulges in a public
exhibition of personal vituperation cul
minating in total obscenity, which must
still further exalt them in the public esti
mation. "To such base uses, do we come at
last." 7j;iEpithets are the resort of some peo

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 17, 1868.
I wish to say that the statements of
Messrs. Carson Bros. in regard to myself,
published in yesterday morning's Dispatch
are incorrect. It was the "Empire" and
"Wilcox dr, Gibb" which would not do my
work—(not the Weed.) I have no more to
say concerning their refusal to return me
the Weed or their repeated perversions of
the facts as originally stated by me. lam
a defenceless woman and shrink from such
a controversy. I will say, however, that I
have secured another "Weed," and noth
ing could persuade me to exchange it for
all the' Empire' and Wilcox it Gibbs' ma
chines that were ever made.

Thankful that the Maine majority was
not fifty thousand, the Democrats arranged
to fire several hundred guns last night
at the Monongahela wharf in honor of
the .victory their neighbors obtained. The
Secretary of War was telegraphed for
guns; he compl r ied willing that the party
should have an all day's honor in sport
ing with a war toy. entirely new to them--;
at least to those in this section of the coun
try. Horses were procured and,, in
imitation of ''experienced artillerists"
dashed out to the Allegheny Arsenal, pre
sented the order to the commandant and re
ceived the artillery. With much pomp and
show and au occasional cheer for Seymour
and Blair, in order to assure the people along
the line of march that some folks can do
things as well as others, the squad moved
to a livery stable, on Diamond alley, and
there unhitched, awaiting the darkness of
night to fire, the. salute. Night came,
but, tinfortu ately for therii,_with it a damp
ening dispatch from Maine which fixed the
majority much nearer fifty thousand than
they imagined. A consultation was held.
The powder cost money.; nobody pres
ent had ever assisted in the firing of
a cannon; those experienced artillerists,
Captains Cook, Floyd and Collier, had re
fused to accept duty in that camp, and,
of or all, Maine was'nt Eiuch a great State
that they should risk their precious lives
in honoring her for doing just what they
did'nt want her to do by a long shot,
After snob reasoning the guns were left
untouched. and will be sent back as guilt
less of powder as when taken from the
Arsenal by our Democratic friends. When
will the opposition ever be able to fire a
salute in honor of ,a victory obtained?
