A LITTLE CONFIDENCE GAME-The
Operators Come to Grief.--Mr. Joseph b.
Williams, who resides in Dnwiddie county,
near Petersburg, and who has been in our
city for day or two past on business, was
yesterday made the victim of confidence
game played by two sharpers who gave
their names as William Martin and William
G.. Austin, aided and abetted, as is sup
posed, by w. II. Benson and Chas. L.
Warren. These sharpers, nnder the pre-
tense Of being tobacco dealers, procured the
temporary loan of $ll3 from MIR. Williams,
but were subsequently arrested, with the
two confederates, on suspicion of being
swindlers. Each of the parties had sum
of money on his person, aggregating q little
over the sum procured from Mr.. Williams.
The parties had preliminary examina-
ton before Justice White this morning,
when they were sent on to the June term
of the Hastings court, the first named as
principals in the transaction, and the two
latter as principals in the second degree.
Mr.. Williams appeared to be an honest, in
dustrious gentleman, as we have DO doubt
he is, and is justly indignant and mortified
that he should have been the victim of
the confidence men.

Political Movements in wn,biu.top

Wdshingtan, April 26.-There have
been some developments made here within
day or two of political movements which
are calculated to disturb the harmony of
the Cincinnati Convention. Some of the
friends of Mr.. Trumbull, backed by the
Chicago Tribune influence, now openly de-
clare that If Justice Davis is nominated for
President, they will refuse to support him.
They do not go quite so far as to make the
nomination of Mr.. Trumbull an ultimatum.
but that is quite apparent. The latter's
attendance in the Radical caucus Wednes-
day night excites suspicion. The
Democrats, on the other hand, are
quite unanimous in Congress against
the nomination of Charles Francis
Adams, which, it is said, is proposed by
Mr.. Belmont on behalf of some of the New
York Democracy, and endorsed by the New
York World. They say that if Adams is
nominated, the National Convention of the
Democracy will nominate straight ticket
and ignore the Cincinnati nominees. There
seems to be more unanimity among the
Democrats in Congress in favor of Davis
and Curtin than any other ticket, though
not few favor Davis and Parker, or some
Democrat for the Vice-Presidency. The
friends of Gov. Curtin have full assurances
from him in Europe that he is in harmony
with the Liberal movement, and will be in
this country the middle of May.
