PROGRESS OF THE TRIBUNE PLOT FOR BURNING
THE CAPITOL AT WAsHINGroN-The Tribune
appeals to COL Benton to lead the band of con-
spirators who are to set FIRE to the Capitol at
Washington, and destroy all the members of Con-
gress in order to prevent the passage of the Ne
braska bill He is to be offered, it seems, the per-
ilous post of chief incendiary. Old Bullion hgz
done many strange things in his life, but we
hardly think he is prepared for the Guy Fawkes
business quite yet 1t may be all very true,
as the Tribune says, that "an indomitable lead
er" is all that the conspirators want, and
that if Mr.. Benton "exhibits on this occasion
his rare qualities Of resistance" their aim may
be gained, and the Capitol destroyed with its
contents but Mr.. Benton is an old man. too old
Tor that sort of thing. Forty years ago, had
he been in the Tribune line. we suppose he
could have burnt barn or robbed a dwelling
house as well as any of the editors of that
sheet; but q man loses his taste for this sort of
sport as he grows old. The Tribune must get
some younger desperate to fire the building
Why don't they apply to the sons of toll y
whose praise they SO sweetly sing, and who act
as runners to the fire companies? Surely they
might do the job without cmbittering the de-
Ginning years of poor old Mr. Benton.
