The Extra Star has the following: De
velopments have been made showing the
existence of deep laid plot on the part
of gang of conspiratOrs, including
members Of the order of the Knights OF
the Golden Circle to murder President
Lincoln and his cabinet. We have rea
son to believe that Secretary Seward re-
ceived intimation from Europe several
menths since that something OF a very
desperate character was to transpire at
Washington, and it was more than prob;
able reference was made to the plot OF
assassination.

day night to prevent the escape OF the
parties who murdered President Lincoln
and attempted the assassination of Sec
rotary Seward and his sons. were fired
upon at several points, by concealed
foes Arrests will be promptly made
1t is ascertained that some weeks ago
the President had received several prl-
vate letters warning him that an at
tempt would probably be made npon his
life, but to this he did not attract
much Importance. 1t has always been
thought he was not sufficient careful OF
his individual safety. In his last visit
to Virginia the following incident of the
last day of his life have been obtained
from severel sources:
His son, Capt, Lincoln, breaktasted
with him on Friday moIning, havingjuSt
returned from the capitulalion OF Lee,
and the President passed happy honr,
listening to ell the details. When at
breakfast he heard that Speaker ColfaX
was in the house, and sent word hat he
| wished to see him. DE cOnversed with
him nearly an hour about his future pol
| icy as to the rebellion, which he was
about to submit to the Cabinet. After
wards he had All interview with Mr..
| Hale, Minister to Spain, and several
Senators and Representatives.
At IL o'clock the Cabinet and General
| Grant were with him, and in one of the
| most satisfactory and important Cabinet
| meetings held since his first inangura-
| ton; the future policy OF the adminlstra-
ton was tremendously and unanimously
| agreed on, when Secretary Stanton said

er than at any previous period since the
rebellion commenced.

Senator Yates and other leading citizens
of his State. In the evening Mr.. ColtaV

over the Chicago Convention OF lS6O,
was present To them he spoke of his
visit to Richmond, and when much I'M
easiness at the North was mentioned,
while he was at the rebel capitol, for fear
| that some traitor might shoot him. he re-
piled iocularly that he would have been
alarmed himself if any other person had
been President and gone there. but that
| he did not feel any danger whatever
| The conversation turned on Il matter of
business with Mr.. Ashman. He made
the remark that he saw Mr. Ashman was
surprised at, and Immediately with his
well known kinness of heart said: You

He afterwards gave Mr.. AShman a card

the theatre, hope but Mr.. ColiaX had
other engagements, expecting t" leave

said to Mr.. ColfaX: "Mr Sumner has the
'gaver of the Confederate Congress-
which he got at Richmond to hand To
the Secretary Of War, but insisted there
that he must give it 10 YOU, and you tell
him for me to hand it over"
