Peace ConvoA tIOn OF 1900 ssassi-
nation Plot. fff

Peace C0nvoA ton OF AlS00-Aasasst-
nation Plot. nf
Many of the Copperhead orators al
lege as one of the causes of the war the
refusal of the abolition" members OF
the Peace Conference of 1860 10 CO.
operate cordially with the Southern
members in settling the difficulties of the
Nation. There is evidence enough that
the spirit manifested by most of the
Southern members, was far from peace
full, aud that they intended TO use the
Conference not for the purpose of con-
cessian but secession. We did not
know, however, until recently, that some
of these peace men were privy to the
design OF assassinating Mr. Lincoln as
he passed through Baltimore. II may
be that such a project seemed very
proper peace measure from a Southern
point of view, but we cannot wonder
that he North refused such concession
to Southern prejudices.
The authority tor the assertion that
the intended "inierruption" of AIR. Linz
coln's journey to Washington was known
TO Sou hcrn members, is u be found ia
tho following extract from a speech de
lIvered by Mr.. Chiiienden, Register of he
Treasury, before a Washington war
meeting, few days ago:
= He was a delegate from the State of
Vermont to the Peace Conference which
met in this city In the month OF Fvbru-
airy, 1860, upon the invitation Of the
Governor of Virginia. Ia that Oonven-
ton he happened 10 form the acquain-
lance OF James b. Clay, of Kentucky,
William A. Seldom, OF Virginia, (lhe
presenl rebel Secretary of War; Cover
nor Morehead, OF Kentucky, (who i no v
a fugitive, and be would always be until
he Iepenied) aud others. His seat was
near those gentlemen. 0ne day, while
sitting with them, servant from Will
iard's hotel entered and handed card TO
Mr.. 5eddon, who sat near MIR. Q. He
did not know what was on the card, but
II was PASSED GROUND from one TO the
other IN such manner that he could not
help but see what was on il. Ga the
card WAS written these wOrds--Linc0ln
IS IN Washington! He never saw such
confusion made by q small piece OF a
card before. They looked At each other
with amazement. At last Waldo p.
johnson, afterwards Senator from Mis-
souri,, who could control himself no
longer, exclaimed with vehemence, How

900 inhabitants. The original small
framed houses afford a striking contrast
to tie splendid public and private ediices

were distinguished for their gentle man
ners. No such efeminacy characterizes
the lusty and enterprisidg population of
the new era. The spirit Of freedom is
broadly manifest in them. IL is beauti-
fully exemplifed in the Italian fruiterer,
who with difficulty refrains from kicking
you out of doors if you refuse to pay
dollar an ounce for his peanuts. The
small tailor, suddenly become rich, is
speechless with Indignation il you dare
ask him to unbend bis dignity in the con-
temptible operation of mending your
clothes.
The cobbler, once too happy to half
sole your shoes, scowls at you furiously
if you approach him on uny such mis-
sion, now that leather is worth its weight
in gold. The saddler, the gas-ftter, the
grocer, the tallow chandler, the mer-
chants in coal and wood--in fact, all
who have aught to sell, indulge the inso-
lence of pecuniary indulgence to de-
gree which makes intercourse with them
infinitely exhilerating. The entire alb
sence of obSequiousness on the part Of
our modern shopkeepers is one of the
most encouraging features of the new
times in the confederation.
An exceedingly low estimate of the
destinations of the life in Richmond
would be formed if the account should
not include the nominal price of provis-
ions, and astounding healtbfulness of the
air, and the abundance of the precious
metals. Space does not permit US TO
dwell at length upon these encouraging
features of Richmond existence during
the second war of Independence. When
poor man is compelled to buy offal of
opulent millers at a price which would
stagger a millionaire, and when beef at
60 or 80 cents per pound removes every
molar in the jaw Of mans head, and
reduces bis biscuspids to the circumfer-
cnce of cambria needle, (if he have the
hardihood to attempt to chew ii,) every
candid mind must confess that the jour-
nalist, who is generally presumed to be
INDECENT, has little scope for the exercise
Of his powers beyond the mere record
ing of the markets and the latest sales at
auction.
The eloquence Of bare quotations far
the eloquence OF any editor,
however gifted, and throws him at once
into the vast herd whose empty stomachs
are an ample excuse for their gaping as
at the unprecedented altitude
in the charges for the commonest neces-
sites Of life. And il it we're possible
for the half-nouiished body to withstand
The encroachment of disease, it would be
a consolation to the citizen of Richmond
to know that he dwells in perfect store
house Of maladies, and may take his
pick at any hour Of the day or night of
The deadlest calsmities that sfflict the
human frena
To be the prey Of the most lingering
and loathsome contagious is surely not
desirable, but churlish indeed
must be the sufferer who, in the midst of
lis acuiest agonies, cannot find abundant
iolace in the reflection that he can pay
ais incompetent doctor in shinplasters--
md that when he dies, as he certainly
will, he will be buried in the suburbs of
Richmond, among countless throng of
soldiers, courtezans, CARROT
,rs and blacklegs generally.
