PLOT TO AssAssISArE Mr. LlNcoLN-nE
PASSES TnRoUGn BALTIMORE IN DISGUISE.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.
A special dispatch to tho Timrs says that
on Thursday night, after Mr.. Lincoln ro.
| tired, he was aroused aud informed that q
stranger desired to see him on matter of
life or death. Ho declined to admit him
unless he gave his name. which no did at
once. Such prestige did the name carry
that whio Mr. j.. was yet disrobod, he
! granted an interview to the caller. A pro-
loDgod conversation elected tho fact that
an organization body of men had deter.
mined that Mr. L. should not be inaugurated.
and that he should mover leave tho city OF
Baltimore alive, If indeed no over entered it.
Tho list of the namos of tho conspirators
presented n most astonishing array of per.
sons high in Southern confidence and some
whose names aro not TO this country alone.
Statesmen laid tho plan, bankers endorsed
1t, and adyenturers were TO carry it into
effect; as they understood Mr.. Lincoln was
to loavo Harrisburgh at nino o'clock this
morning by special train, and tho idoa was,
If possible to throw tho train from the road
at some point whero they could rush down
a steep on,banknont, and destroy in a mo.
ment tho liyos of all on board. In case of
failure of this project, their plan was to
surround the carriage, on the way from
depot to depot in Baltimore, and assassinate
him with dagger or pistol shot.
! So authentic was tho source through
which the information was obtained, that Mr..
L., after counseling with his friends, was
compelled to mako arrangements that would
enable him to subyort the plans of his enc.
mics.
J Greatly to the annoyance of those who
desired to call on him last night, he do
; clined to givo reception.
The final council was bold at eight clock
