sV The ''letter- writers," many Of
whom seem to be disposed to make
themselves ridiculous, are busy describ-
ing the movements of the president
elect, on his way to the Federal Capt.
tai. We clip the following from the
Milwaukee Neacs. The reader can
Judge whether or not he's a Republic
can by the tone Of the epistle.
"Although very much fatigued by
night travel, Mrs. Lincoln kept up q
spirited conversation during the entire
journey. Her two Youngest Sons at
tracted general attention by their
spright!iness. One Of them amused
himself nearly all the way asking out
siders, DO you want to see Old Abe,
and pointing out some one else"
Smart fellow, the writer of the above
cute chap. We presume he would
not lie short of ten cents, cash down
Young Abe or the letter writer ought
to be spanked.

In our dispatches from Wash
ington this morning it is stated that
information is before the authorities
there, tending to prove the existence
Of an organized band, whose object
was the assassination of the President
elect before his inauguration. The
plot is said to have been disclosed by
a detective, who joined the conspira-
tors for the purpose Of frustrating their
design. 1t is deemed prudent, for the
present, to withhold from the public
more definite information as to the con
spiracy. 1t is pretty certain that Mr..
Lincoln did not forego his contemplate
ed visit to Baltimore without some
good cause, and it is stated that Gen.
Scott fully approved of his course, in
avoiding public reception in that city,
and that Senator Seward sent his son
to Harrisburg to inform the President
elect ofthe conspiracy, and urge him
to proceed direct to Washington before
his passage through Baltimore could
have been expected.-IMl. Sen. q.

determined on independence, and,
June q, 1875, was chosen by the pro-
vincial congress of the colony, a dele
gate to the general congress then Sit
ting at Philadelphia. At first, he is
understood to have some doubt as to
the expediency Of the Declaration of
Independence at the time when it was
made; but they were soon dispelled,
and he spoke in its behalf: In Nov.
of the same year, be was taken prison
er by a party of refugee royalists, who
dragged him from his bed at night
and carried him to New York, where
he was thrown into the common prison
and deprived Of even the necessaries
of life. When Intelligence of his cap
ture and sufferings reached congress,
that body passed a resolution directing
Gen. Washington to make immediate
inquiry into the truth Of the report, and
if corroborated, to send a flag to- the
British General demonstrating against
this departure from humane proceed
ure, and to know of him whether he
choose that this be the future rule fol-
treating prisoners. Mr.. Stoc kton was
at length released; but the shock Civ
en- to his constitution by the hardship:
of his confinement was mortal Ill:
health gradually declined, and, afte
lingering several years, he died Feb
%, 1871, in the ffty-ftth year OF hi
age.
Friday, FEB. 29.-Six years ago to
day, Nicholas /, the late emperor Q
!, Russia died. At the age of twenty
one, he married the princess Of Prus
STA, by whom he had six children, c
whom Alexander, the present emperor
is the eldest.

JOHN A. DIX,
Sec. Of Treasury.
New York, Feb. %.

New \ ok, Feb. %.
A special correspondent to the n. Y.
Times says:
Thursday night, after he had retired,
Mr. Lincoln was aroused, and inform
cd that a stranger desired to see him
on a matter of life or death. He de-
clined to admit him unless he gave his
name, which he at once did. Such
prestage did the name carry, that while
Mr.. Lincoln was yet lisrobcd, he grant
ed an interview to the caller. A pro-
longed conversation elected the fact
that an organization of men had deter
mined that Mr.. Lincoln should not be
inauguratcd. and that he should never
leave the city of Baltimore, if indeed
he ever entered.
The list Of names of the conspirators
presented a most astonishing array of
persons high in Southern confidence,
and SOME whose fame is not confined
to this country alone. Statesmen laid
the plan, bankers endorsed it, and ad
ycnturcrS were to carry it into effect.
AS they understood: Mr.. Lincoln was
to leave Harrisburg at o'clock this
morning, by a special train, and the
idea was, if possible, to throw the tram
from the road at some point where they
could rush down a steep nbankment,
and destroy in moment the lives of
all on board.
In case Of a failure in this attempt,
their plan was to surround the carriage,
on the way from the depot, in Bali
more and assassinate him, with daggers
or pistols. SO authentic was the source
through which the information was OBJ
tanned, that Mr.. Lincoln, upon counsell
ing his friends, was compelled to make
arrangements that would enable him to
subvert the plans Of his enemies
Greatly to the annoyance Of thousands
who intended to call on him, last night
he declined to give reception.
The final council was held ats O'Clock.
Mr.. Lincoln did not want to yield, and
Col. Sumner actually cried with indig-
nation but Mrs. Lincoln, seconded by
Judd, and Mr.Lincoln's informant, in,
sisted upon it, and at nine o'clock
Mr.. Lincoln left on special train.
He wore plaid shawl and very
long military cloak, so that he was en-
tirely unacceptable. He was accom-.
panied by Supt. Lewis and one friend
He started, while all the town, with
exception of Mrs. Lincoln, Col. Sum
ner, Mr.. judd, and two reporters, who
were sworn to secrecy, supposed hin
asleep. The telegraph wires were put
beyond the reach Of any one who mic
desire to use them.

az The following sound article on
"Coercion" we copy from the James
vile Free Press. 1t is decidedly a
healing balm to those many democrats
who fear Mr.. Lincoln is about to entail
on this glorious Confcderacy a civil
war, when brothers blood shall mingle,
and the gray headed fathers die by the
assassin's blade.
We think Mr. Lincoln, when asking
the question whether the recapture Of
the U. S. Forts would, or would not be
coercion, felt as though he would like
to make practical demonstration, and
if he does not when he gets into the
chair we shall be disappointed.
"CoERc1oN."-We hear great deal
said and see great deal printed in
depreciation of "coercion." Democrats
generally are fearfully apprehensive
Of the evil results of a coercive policy.
1t will disrupt the Union and destroy
the greatest and best government the
world ever saw, is the wailing cry
On parenthesis, we incline to the
opinion that the defeat and death Of
the democratic pGrtg EFFORTS as large
portion Of the lamentations as the
predicted evils to the country But
! Northern democrats are not the only
weeping Jeremiahs. The South Caro-
linians who seize the government forti-
fications, custom-house, and post-office,
rates who steal all that comes in their
way, won't be "coerced." Mississippi
plans who point cannon on the bank
Of the river, and arrest free navigation,
exclaim against "coercion." Toombs
who avowed his treason In the Senate
chamber, stormed against "coercion."
Cobb and Floyd, who plundered the
; treasury, are against ''coercion." In
regular progression, the bandits who
expel northern women from their hospi-
table regions, who mob Northern me-
chanics, and murder northern "aboli
tionists," are particularly opposed tc
the least appearance Of coercion. -
: And so it runs through the whole cata
logue, including the cold public func
tionary," whom a mild application o
''coercion" in the shape Of threats OF
withholding government loans and of {
trial for treason, has alone saved from
an open classification with Toombs
Davis, Wigfall, and other avowed trai
tors.
We can see only two ways to pnr
sue. The government must either folC
r its arms and wink at rebellion, or i
must enforce its laws. If these law;
are obeyed, no ''coercion" will be lie
quired. If resisted, "coercion'' mas
be resorted to, or the government fall.
to pieces, and all the deprecated evil.
e are incurred, without any attempt t.
! avert them.

A SEVERE CRITICIsM.-The follow
ing severe animadversion on President
Buchanan is an extract from private
letter, from an EngliShman Of the high
standing, whose views on American
affairs have probably more weight and
influence than any other man in Eng
land. The letter is dated London, Jan.
25.-NiW Sen.
My indignation, sufficiently strong
from the first, has been carried beyond
measure by the Presidents message
to the Senate, which appears in today's
paper A more cowardly, illogical,
and dishonest document never appear
ed with the name of any man calling
himself states man. The only paial-
lei is Pontius P lot, washing his hands
of the affair and levcling both action
and responsibility to whoever chose to
take them. Conceive a man Of almost
unlimited powers { for your President
is dictator, with greater power than
any constitutional sovereignty sitting
down with his hands before him in the
hour of his country's agony, saying,
sit is none of my business" He ought
to be whipped down the steps Of the
great house at Washington"

~ The following letter from Geo.

~ The following letter from Geo.
Peabody, the great London Banker,
on American credit, is full of interest
ing import, and represents the exact
condition our Government will be look
ed upon by European capitalists, III
case the secession movement is contin-
ued by the general government, and
finally succeeds. 1t was directed to
one Of his Boston correspondents, and
has caused great sensation in CONNER
cial circles in that city, as we'll as in
Wall St. of New York.
Mr., Peabody says:
Il cannot conceal from you the fact
that the credit of the United States
government is now on trial in Europe.
By the last steamer we hear of plans
Of concession and compromise with
those who are openly defying the laws.
Now, it is not my purpose to discuss
the merit or the motive of any of these
projects, but l must tell you that if
your Government entertalns any plan
of concession at the present moment
if it have to purchase the permission
to peacefully inaugurate the lawfully
elected President-its credit will have
4 fearful blow in Europe. You must
expect 70 have federal stocks sent back
in large quantities from England and
the continent. People will not trust 3
government which, when its founda
tons are attacked, instead of upholdinG
law and order, compromise with trait
ors We have had enough of Peruvi
an and Mexican bonds and shall be
careful not to retain those Of a govern
ment whose policy is concession to an

If, therefore, you wish for a clear
mind and strong muscles, and quiet
nerves, and long life, and power pro-
longed in Old age, permit me to say,
although | am not giving temperance
lecture, avoid all drinks above water
and mild infusions of that fluid, shun
tobacco, opium, and everything else
that disturbs the normal state Of the
system; rely upon nutritious food, and
mild, diluted drinks, Of which water is
the base, and you will need nothing
beyond these things, except rest, and
due moral regulations Of all your pow
ers, to give you long, happy and useful
lives, and serene evening at the

DEATH OF Coz. JoHNsToN.-Ad dis

patch from Washington, dated Feb.
18th, to the Cincinnati Gazette says:
This morning, John Johnston, of
Ohio, eightysix years ofage, was found
dead in his bed at the United States
Hotel. He was one ofthe companions
of the immortal Daniel Boone. He
paid his sixtieth years subscription,
few days ago, to the National In
teHigence."
The Cincinnati Gazette has sketch
of Mr. Johnston's life:
s.Mr. Johnston was eighty-s years
old; he was attached to Anthony
Wayne's army in 1898, and landed at

House, Kentucky, and often saw Wash
ington in the lodge room F; he heard
w ashington's Farewell AddresSE he,
was of the Masonic fraternity that paid
funeral hunors to Washington iii PHI
ladelphia in the winter of 1900. Mr.
Johnston was Indian Agent twenty
eight years.
The ancestors Of the deceased were
of the Episcopal Church, and he, to-
gether with the Rev. Intrepid j.
Morris, of Steubenville, and the Rev,
Samuel Johnston, Of Cincinnati, organ
lied the Diocese Of that Church i'll
Ohio. He was one of the original
trustees Of Kenyon College. Leaving
the Indian Agency in l84s, he was
afterwards appointed a Canal Com.
missioner with Alfred Kelley, and
others.
Mr.. Johnston was the oldest living
> subscriber to the Cincinnati Gazette,
having taken that paper sixty-six years.
MIR. Johnston lived at Piqua."
