etaitS Of The Conspiracy.

The plan agreed on by the conspirators; was
to throw the train off the track, and if that
failed, to raise ri OF in Baltimore and assassi-
nate him. Gen SCOTS dispatch, sent from
here Oh Friday at P. M. to Mr. Lincoln fully
confirms the limitations that he was aware OF
this fendish plot,as well as the President elect;
but the latter's arrival here was so successful
and privately managed, that all danger will
soon be past.
Possibly The Presidents allueion at Phila-
delphia to assassination and the possibility OF
his never being inaugurated, when he said that
he would rather be assassiLated than yield the
principles of the Declaration OF Independence,
may have been caused by this information.
Special Despatch to the Cincinnati Commercial.
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1861-02-28

learn from q perfectly reliable source, that
the President elect had most excellent reasons
tor the course he pursued last night. lncon-
testibe evidence had been discovered of con-
spiracy against his person and life.
One plan was to throw the special train off
the track between the Pennsylvania line and
Baltimore. Another was to assas ;inatc him
by shooting, at some of the stations or at Balti-
more. Besides it was satisfactorily ascertain
ed that the Baltimore police were wholly un-
reliable, and that violence toward Mr. Lincoln
would be offered with IMMUNITY. These facts
were fully known at Washington, and Gen.
Scott, Senators Seward, Trumbul and 9th ers,
strongly advised him to go on in advance of
the special train. Mr. Secard acas so alarmed
that he sent his son to Harrisburg 1SiM a special
message to Mr.. Lincoln urging the step Mr..
L. lett Harrisburgh at 9 30 P. M, yesterday,
reached Baltimore at 10 Is p. NJ, and Wash
ington at AZ, this morning He was very re-
luctant to take this course, and only yielded az
ter long persuasion. a
am enSb led to add much to my despatch Of
yesterday, of a truthful but alarming charac-
ter, Mr., Lincoln did receive sufficient evil
dence that attempts would be made to destroy
his l1te which were so we'll planned that they
would have been successful. On Friday night,
at Harrisburgh, he gave an audience to gentle
men, which elected the fact that an organized
body of men had determined that he should
not be inaugurated, and that he should not
leave the city Of Baltimore alive, if indeed he
ever entered This information was of SO au-
thentic character that Mr.. Lincoln, on con-
sulting with his friends and family, determined
to foil these attempts. Col. Sumner remon.
Strated and opposed such a course, in the very
face of Gen. SCOTS kilograms to the contrary
Mr.. Lincoln did not want to yield at first, to
these entreaties, but at last consented.

Anccdote of Tom. Corwin.

Some years ago when Mr.. Corwin and
Mr.. Ewing were on political pilgrimage
TO tie northern part Of the State, they
were invited 10 tarry over night with
distinguished local politician. The guests
arrived rather late and the lady Of the
mansion being absent. nece undertook
TO preside on The occasion. She had
never seen great men. and supposed they
were elephanline altogether. and all talk
ed in great language.
Mr.. Ewing, will You take condiments

lady.
Yes, Miss, ii you please replied

Mr.. Corwin's eyes twinkled Here
was fun for him. Grattied with the ap.

with big men, the young lady addressed

was the prompt reply of facetious Tom
Oi course nature must out, and Ewin q
and the entertainer roared in spite OF
themselves. Corwin eSsayed TO mend
the matter, and was voluble in compli.
ment. anecdote and wit. But the wound
was immedicable The Young lady TO
this day declares that Mr.. Corwin is a
coarse, WI gar, disagreeable man.

Lexington and Baltimore. .-.Strange CO.
Incidence.

1t has already been noticed that the
attack upon the 9th Massachusetts, Regi-
ment, at Baltimore, occurred on the an
niversary Of the battle of Lexington-the
one being on April 10Th. 1861, and the
other April 10Th, 1875, just 36 years pre-
vious. This fact was remarkable, but
not as much SO as another in the same
connection.
1t appears from Boston letter IN the
n. Y. World, that that regiment was all
from Middlesex County, which embraces
the battle fields of Lexington, Concord,
and Bunker Hill. One or two of the
companies are entirely composed of the
lineal descendants of the patriots who
were in the Concord Fight. The gallant
Sixth was first sent forward because it
first reported itself at head quarters with
fullest ranks. Col Jones received his
orders at Lowell on Monday night at l 1
o'clock, in the midst of driving north
east storm. He-mounted his horse and
rode all night through the scattered
towns in which the companies were. Ev-
cry company was in Boston with full
ranks Tuesday noon, and, if the equip
ments furnished by the State had been
ready, the regiment would have left that
afternoon for Washington, instead Of 24
hours later, which was done.
The Stoneham Company, Capt. Dixie,
which performed conspicuous part in
the affair at Baltimore, has rather re-
markabe record for promptitude. The
town is situated about midway between
Lexington and Bunker Hill. The com
pany belonged to the Seventh Regiment,
which had not been ordered out. On
Tuesday night it was determined at head
quarters to attach the Stoneham Compa-
ny to the Sixth. Capt. Dixie, who had
no warning of this intention, received
his orders at o'clock in the morning
At 10 o'clock he and his company, with
"a muskets, and every uniform full, were
at Faneuil Hall, ready to march. The
same { Wednesday, afternoon, it left for
Washington with the Sixth Regiment ;
Thursday they were in New York ; on
Friday they were in the midst of the
fight at Baltimore, where Capt. Dixie and
ten of his men were wounded, and three
killed.
The most remarkable Of all is, that the
first man who fell at Baltimore was a
member of the Stoneham Company, and
he i'neal descendom of the .hrst man
killed at Lexington Thus we have the
connection in the days of the year, and
the late and unexpected change Of the
Stoneham Company from the Seventh to
the Sixth Regiment, with a seeming de-
sign TO the remarkable connection in the
first victims of the two wars. The one
to establish freedom in this country, and
the other TO defend and maintain it,

SLiNioN, lOhA, MAY ~, 1901.
FRIEND RIcH II believe | promised,
when l left Independence, that l would
forward you line for the Guardian, if l
found anything of interest to communi-
cate. If l adhered to the proviso, l
should not now be writing, but the
thought that word on the political feel
ing in other portions of our State than
your own, would not be unacceptable,
now puts the pen into my hand.
Never in my life have 1 seen the fire
of American patriotism burning SO
brightly as at this time. There is unan-
unity of purpose TO suJdue the Southern
traitors and rebels which is gratifying.
Party distinctions seem to be utterly for
gotten. Republicans, Abolitionsts and
Democrats are all strenuous and deter
mined in their support of the national
banner. The people of the free states
have found there is North, and they
can now rally around the stars and stripes
when our glorious flag no longer floats
over kidnappers, men stealers, and slave
holders. Let the Southern olgarchs and
their minions march under the palmetto
and venomous rattesnake. The North
ern eagle once more flies abroad for lib
erty, and this contest becomes sacred.
In Dubuque, and in this town, and in
all the towns along the Mississippi River.
great enthusiasm prevails. Martial mu-
sic is heard every day. Companies are
formed, and are marching to their vari-
Gus places of rendezvous. Home guards
are formed also in all the towns in this
region. Drilling is the order of the dav,
and /" the work goes bravely on" saw
the Ceder Rapids Company go on board
the William McEwen at this place. They
were a noble looking set of fellows. The
citizens gave them a most welcome re-
ception, and there was scene of excit
ing enthusiasm. Cheers and music, and
discharges OF artillery, all were commin-
gled. The ladies likewise graced the
scene, waving their handkerchiefs, and
by their voices encouraging patriotism.
We have just heard Of the detection of
Tennessee and Arkansas, who have chos-
en- TO add themselves TO the rattlesnake

and ashes, for the mighty spirit which
slirs the North will sweep this treason
and rebellion into the Gulf This is tho
determination that is everywhere abroad,
and every new outrage and act of trea-
son on the part Of the South will only
help to drive another nail into the coffin
of slavery. Ny earnest hope is that this
war will end with the utter extinction of
that rational iniquity which has cursed

The Working Glasses.

Mr.. BRIGHT's OFINIoN OF THE Work
ING CLASSES OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
WITH THOSE OF ENGLAND.-In recent
speech delivered by Mr. Bright, of Wake
field, England, he referred to letter he
had received about two years ago, from,
Mr.. Golden, who was at that time in the
United States of America, and in which
the writer said that. Notwithstanding the
artisan and laboring class in England had
made greater progress during the last
twenty-five years than they had during
any former similar period of time, those
classes in the United States were much
further in advance than they were in
England. THIS was remarkable fact,
and Mr.. Bright had never heard any
man who disputed it. He met, not lon 9
ago, gentleman connected with what
was generally reported the most reputa-
bic of the press in England, who has
been spending some days in the United
States, and he gave the same accounts.
He wanted to know what made the diff
erence. 1t was necessarily the form OF
Government. 1t was not question OF
latitude or longitude and people had to
work in the United States the machin
cry there did no more labor, and the
land was not even as fertile.
How came it, then, he asked their
public writers, he asked their statesmen,
he asked ministers Of religion - how
came it, then-this fact was notorious
and indispulable-that in the United
States the great body of the artisans
and laboring classes were SO much bet
ter off than they were in England ? He
knew of three causes that would account
for it. In the United States the land
was wholly free from all fcudal law and
tenures /; the people were instructed by
an extensive and thoroughly working
common school, useful to a degree inf
nitely beyond what the people of this
country ever dreamed of and further,
that from some cause or other that he
could not then inquire into, the Govern
ment of the United States, although the
population of each country was about
20,000,0o0 spent nearly ECO, 100000
sterling less than the government OF
England. He only stated facts, and be
said they were not in the least questions
of party, not questions of forms OF gov
ernment, but questions of principles in
regard TO our legislation.
