Washington, Jan. T.
The discovery that Captain Stone is about to
organize the militia Of the District of Columbia,
has greatly Disconnected the conspirators for
the seizure of the Capital, and may ir.pel them
to some precipitate demonstration. They have
little idea how far their plans have been exposed,
or how many of them will fnd themselves in
durance helpless victims of their own madness
and o! violated law, the instant they take A sin
gle step in execution of their designs. Already
the blacklist in the hands of Government off,
GERS is uncomfor;tbly definite for those whose
names are inscribed thereon.
The conspirators still talk of precipta,ings

single man like General Scott, backed BY the
law and the prestige Of great name is worth
thousand men who move in the dark in a bad
cause, fearing their shadow because they know
that they are plotting treason.
Officers of the Government are marking
good many Of these consprators, and only avail,
the first overt act before making them feel how
powerful is the grip of strong Constitutional
Republic.
General Scott is visited every day by large
number OF Union men and personal friends. The
old hero greets them all cordially, and warmly

calls it, with an emphasis and says Anderson

into it but having been advised of that fact the
members OF Congress Immediately telegraphed
to their friends to suppress all such revolution

implicit confidence in The honesty and ability OF

he will use all his power to prevent an outbreak
They also state thsA.there need be no alarm Is
