Canadian Conspirators.

The New York Times says Mr. Seward
received, the day before he was thrown
from his carriage, letters from Canada,
warning him of plot, then nearly ripe
for execution, to assassinate all the lead
ing members of the Government The
story was that the plot was gotten up by
rebel refugees in Canada, who are the
meanest pack ofscoundrels in the world.
1t was intended to take some preean,,
it had not been for Mr.. Stewards acct
dent. The accuracy of the information
given Mr. Seward, says the Times, is prov
en- by subsequent events. The Times
says:
"Booth's call upon Vice President
johnson, on Friday afternoon, has al
ready been mentioned; its purpose, prob
ably, was to obtain information concern
Ing the room for the use of his accom-
plice. A man, the day before, had taken
the room directly over Johnson's, which
he quit, however, on Friday-probably
becoming alarmed as the moment drew
near-leaving a pair of pistols behind
him. That Booth included Grant in his
intended massacre, is known; and it is
also certain that some one was awaiting
Stanton's return to his house, mt the
same hour"
1t is more likely that the plot origin
ated with, and was Matched by the run
away rebels and sympathizing fools in
Canada, of the stamp of the st. Adams
raiders, than that it was promoted by the
real fighting rebels of the South.

GENERAL GUSTAV, in recent order to
his cavalry division, says: During the
past six months, although in most in
stances confronted by superior numbers,
you have captured one hundred and
eleven pieces of field artillery, sixty Five
battle flags, and upwards of one thou
sand prisoners of war, including seven
general officers. In addition to the above
you have captured forty-six pieces of
field artillery, and thirty-seven battle
flags. You have never lost gun, never
lost a color, and never been defeated. and,
Notwithstanding the numerous engage
ments in which you have borne promi-
nent part, including three memorable
battles of the Shenandoah, you have cap
tured every piece of artillery which the
enemy has dared to open on us.

horrors Of the war from which we are

A LETTER purporting to have been
written some time ago by j. WILKES
Boorn, the assassin of the President, has
been extensively copied from the Phila-
delphia Inquirer, in which paper it first
appeared It's authenticity has been
doubted and, although DESTROYS of pub
fishing everything tending to throw
light upon the motive which actuated
the commission of the great crime, we
think it not sufficiently important to
transfer it to. our columns. In the letter
BOOTH warmly espouses the Southern
cause and signs himself "a Confederate

The story of BooTH's relationship to
JOHN T. BEALL, who was executed as
spy, is denied by his brother EDWIN.

The Pestilence.

A disease called the Siberian Plague
has been raging with great fury in st
Petersburg, and other parts of Russia,
for some time past, and great fear is en-
tertained lest it may spread to the west
ern nations of Europe, and thence to this
continent. 1t is attended with great
mortality, not more than one in ten of
those whom it attacks recovering. No
means of staying its progress are known
to physicians 1t is in the form of con-
tagious fever, accompanied by eruptions
on the skin and is frequently fatal with

ten days elapse before its termination.
The newspapers of the eastern cities
are already urging the adoption of some
sanitary measures to avoid, if possible,

BULLS AND BEARs.-The very singular
epithets of Bears" and Bulls" were first
applied to spectators in stocks on the
London Exchange about 1884, When
two parties contract, the one to deliver,
and the other to take stocks at future
day at specified price, it is the interest
of the delivering party in the inter
vening period, to depress stocks. and of
the receiving party to raise them. The
form er is styleda bear" in allHsion to the
habit of that animal to pull things down
with his paws; and the latter a "bull,"
