being first communicated TO few political
friends in confidence. lie was met at
the station by several gentlemen of dis
tinction, without any formality, and was
Immediately driven to Wizards Hotel.
He was advised to come hitler without
delay. Preparations had been made to
meet him at the depot this afternoon, and
the Mayor of Washington was to make
a welcome address, but Mr.. Lincoln has
thus spoiled the sport. s.-en .ssgg s1eT

coin through the city. The police force
was all out and fully equipped, and ALI
good citizens were anxious that no indig-
nifty should have been offered. The opin-.
ion entertained was that certain disreputa-
Die parties who lately attached themselves
to tie Republican organization here, and
who were expected to make a demonstra>
ton, would have aroused bad feeling in
the minds of some, and especially caused
n disturbance; otherwise there was no rea>
son to apprchend anything unpleasant.
