The Cause Of the Rsospads

The Washington correspondent Of the Gin
cinnad Gasfs processes to have reliable infor'
nation that Mr.. LrNeoiN made bis precipItate
retreat from Harrisburg 10 Washington on the
urgent representation that .his immediate pres
ence in the National Capital was vital to the
Peace Conference. This gives the assassina.
ton conspiracy the go by. But that such a
conspiracy was discovered, Il seems, is now set.
tied beyond dispute. The New York Herald
tells the way inwhlch the startling discovery
was made:
II appears that there were two ss Of most effective
detectives sent to work upon the matter, Mr.. Fouehe
Kennedy Of New York at the instance Of Thurlow Weed,
despatched band Of detective police TO Baltimore and
the neflsying points between that place and Hsfsbnr,
to ferret out the plot and the Vdocq Of Baltimore had
smother band employed In the same localities. neither
ehef being aware ef the action Of the other. iherwas
anything 70 be discovered this efficient combination Of
detective talent would be sure to find It out and 80 II
did, for II happened that the detectives fom New York
came into frequent communion with the detectives from
Baltimore and not knowing another each supposed
that he had found eonspatOr in the other party, and
forthwith commenced 10 sympathize with the plot and
draw hscommunicatve companion out for the purpose
OF getting information, as these wise officials are wont 10
do and 30 between them they unrvelled, they did not
cencoe the whole terrible conspiracy against the life Of
Mr.. Lincoln, which compelled him to resort TO the
Scotch cap Of the Camerons and the long military cloak
In which undignihed disguise he reached the federal
capital with whole skin. No sooner did Mr.. Rouehe
Kennedy succeed In discovering ibis awful conspiracy
Than he turned up at Warrington, In search Of oce,
we suppose to which he 10 undoubtedly entitled at the
hands Of Mr.. Lincoln, whose life he 90 miracuieusy
preserved. - EA .ses ~ AS. So 50

1 That splendid swindle, the Oregon and
wasbisgton Indian War claim, has at length
gone through Congress, reduced in amount, but
yet taking several millions, from the treasury
already depleted, to fill the pockets of the
Washington Lobby. We said some two years
ago, in the Sfstssmss, that although this claim
was bogus, it would still pass Congress, the only
question being one Of time. .Ifsome member
in the next Congress would muster up courage
enough 70 raise Committee to ascertain the
final disposition of this money, and to whom Il
has really been paid, some men would figure in
It who are not. suspected Of dealing in fraudu'
lent claims, and the country might derive some
benefit from the exposure. ,,o,
The facility with which dishonest and corrupt
claims are put through the National Legislature
Is one of the worst features Of the times, devel-
oping, as ID does, degree Of decentralization
among the representatives of she people Of the
most alarming character. ' 70 y f''

Ba. the Tall is very sanguine that the new
Administration will not put itself under ohzr-
Lxr's training. This point viii, however, be
made much clearer after the Inaugural is de
livered, au, the new Cabinet Is daily Installed
Thespeciai aim Of the white coated philosopher
of the Tribune and his -squad Of coercion con-
spiratcrs has been 70 keep Mr.. SEWARD out Of
the Cabinet, and get Mr.. CHASE IN the place said
to be assigned to Mr. SEwAhDi or that falling
to secure CRAsr, at all events, Cabinet ap-
poin.ment. The latest news indicates that GREE
lEr has been suocessfulin this latter alternative
and that CHASE Is to be Secretary OF the Treasu'
~. This viii probably console the "irrepres-
sibles" whom GREsIEF heads, for their disap-
poinsment at LnooLs's determination 20 retain
SEWARD in the Cabinet ~ i.'a., ~. ~. y.
The point that GnErLEY has made against
sEwAan is. that he would sacrifice the Chicago
platform for the sake Of saving the Onion,
while LIscoLs and CHASE would be disposed %
save the platform and "lst the Union aide"
The retention Of Seward in the Cabinet must
ia some degree, dampen the confidence OF the
.irreuressibles'' in "Old Abe" But If they
should be unable to force the new Administra-
tion TO enter heartily into their coercion and
disunion schemsa, they may count, upon having,
through CaAsE, an antagonistie power which
may enable them to counteract any compromise
and union tendencies in Seward and other
members of the Cabinet. 4 ,ss.I-.I'Tliy
But the Disappointment and vezation OF the
