A Gigantic Conspiracy.

The New York Times, in common
with other papers, publishes the letter
from George y Sanders about peace

from which issued forth the notorious

State House,

e
A terse and very accurate description
of which we transfer to our columns
from the indianapolis Journal.
The interior decorations OF the State
House are OF character that will reflect
no discredit upon the State authorities
and those enterprising aud energetic
gentlemen, Colonies Frybarger and
Sturm, who have had the matter in es-
pecisl charge Few persons who are
familiar wi III the rather shabby appear
anee Of the State Capitol would be able
10 recognize the interior in the elegant
dress which has been prepared for it
Indeed, persons who have travelled with
the funeral cortege from the time il left
Washington up 10 its arrival here, say
that in no other city has the hail in
which the remains Of our President have
been exhibited, been. so completely, ele-
gsntly and appropriately decorated. The
walls have been papered, and the floor
covered with mating. The evergreen
wreaths and garlands which hang in rich
profusion from the walls have been ar
artistically constructed, and the exquis-
lite taste displayed in arranging them
shows that the whole matter has been in
the hands of true artist. Along the
walls hang pictures of Washington, Lin
coin, johnson, Seward, Sheridan, Hovey
Morton, Douglas, Sherman, Grant, Col
Dick o'Neill and Edward Everett,
Busts of Washington, Lincoln, jackson,
Webster, Clay and Douglas are placed
st intervals, their brows bound with the
everything laurel, throughout the ball.
A beautiful bust of Washington stands
on pedestal at the head of the coffin,
It's brow encircled with laurel wreath.
The hall is eurtained with black, and
brilliantly lighted with numerous chan
dehers. The catafaique on which the
coffin rests is covered with fine black
velvet, aud trimmed with silver fringe.
But the GROWING glory of the interior
decorations is the canopy overhsnging
and surrounding the carafalque. 1t is
constructed Of black material, in psgods
shape, with white cords and tAssels.
The roof-if such term may be pro-
perly used---is studded with golden stars.
The Washington street front Of the
State House, though not so HANDSOMELY
done as the interior, shows very we'll
The large pillars are. draped with black
and white, twined with garlands, of
evergreens The front is festooned With
black and white A painting of the
State coat of arms adorns the pedi-
ment .a-
Colonel Fryb&rger is entitled 10 the
credit, We believe Of making the designs

obsequies at indianapolis,
Decoratfons Of he OItn.

OecOT0LlO1sS ~ me Laty.
Il was the unanimous verdict Of all
who accompanied the remains of Presi-
dent Lincoln from Washington City,
that the decorations Of the city Of Indi-
annapolis, and especially the State House,
we're the most gorgeous, liberal and taste
full Of any witnessed on the way
II would require our whole paper 10
make the briefest mention of all the
handsome decorations and designs on
puBiie buildings, business houses and
private dwellings, Almost every house
on the line of the railroad displayed
some token Of sympathy with the Oeca-
sion, aud on many of them, very extern
sivs and attractive decorations had been
arranged, snd so il was in every part Of
the city we were able to visit
The grAndest display, except at and
around the State House, was along
Washington Street,
Which was arched At three places, at
Illinois, Pennsylvania and Alabama
strsets The arch at Illinois street, which
was fac simile Of the others, consisted
Of framework sappOrteS by two col
umlrs Of timber, the whole handsomely
aud ingeniously over-wrought with black
and white fabric, entwiued with ever
green. ~-8-fa eco ?
The main passage over the railroad
track was about 30 feet wide and about
the same height 10 the centre. On each
side were passages IL feet wide Over
the center was an eagle holding in its
beak a beautiful evergreen wreath inter
spersed with white roses. Large plumes
Of black tipped with white surmounted
the columns, and beautiful hags and
banners lent grace and elegance The
base of the columns we're decked with
large branches Of evergreen, pine, ce.
dar, &c. Numerous ropes, with cur
tains of white and black looped up,
studded with white rosettes, with white
streamers hanging down, had been
stretched across the street, from the tops
Of the houses, at regular intervals.
Equal TO, if not surprising, Washing
tom street, were the surroundings Of
Capitol Square.
Wreathes and festoous of arbor vita
we're twined in the pickets of the fence,
and each corner was surmounted with
small arches trimmed with evergreen.
At the main entrance on Washington
street massive framework, spanning
the walk, had been constructed, the main
passage being carriage way of twelve
feet wide, with passage way on ca sh
side six feet wide. The whole structure
was about 40 feet long, % feet wide and
25 feet high This structure combined
q variety of styles of architecture, and
from the pillars, which were about Is feel
high, were suspended portraits of Gems
Grant, Sherman, Admiral Farragut and
Gov. Morton, while on the pedestals al
the top we're placed handso me busts Of
Washington, Webster, Lincoln and Clay.
Over the arch was speaking stand,
with seats for the choristers aud must
clans

The whole structure was shrouded in
black and white, relieved with garlands
of evergreen, and decorated with the
usual emblems of mourning. The grand
triumph in the work of decoration was
