THE AssAssINATIuM Conspiracy WIDE SPREAD.

The Washington Republican says !:
"The investigation in this city has devel-
oped facts of the most astonishing char
acter, as the official record will eventu-
ally show. These developments result
from a partial search only, and show
what would be brought to light by the
u~nroofng and unearthing, if necessary,
every house in the District of Columbia.
There is evidence that President Lincoln,
Vice President Johnson. the members OF
the Cabinet, Gen. Grant, Chief Justice
Chase and Speaker Colfax, were marked
as the victims of certain rebel conspira-
tors and assassins. There is little doubt
that the plot originated in Richmond
was planned in detail in Canada, and was
to be executed in this city. There is, al
so, no doubt that secret meetings were
held at the residences of secessionists in
this city to further the execution of the
fendish plot.
1t is well known that arrests have al.
ready been made of persons known tC
be parties to the murder of President
Lincoln, and the facts thus far ascertain
ed reveal the hellish purpose Of the rebel
assassins to strike fr0m existence all The
leading men of the National Government
thus leaving it without a legal head, an6
the reigns of Government to be seized by
any cratic, ambitious General who nigh
at the time be in the field at the head o.
the army. This will, when all is mad,
known, startle the people and astound the
world
Delaware gazette. [volume] (Delaware, Ohio) 1855-1886, 1865-05-05
AN AWruL WISH eRATIFIED.

The rebel sympathizsrs at the North
have much to answer for in the way OF
~prolonging this cruel war, and are not al
together innocent of Mr.. Lincoln's blood,
During the last Presidential election the
editor of the La Crosse Democrat DELHI
erately put the following fearful wish in
type:
''If Lincoln is reelected to ~misgovern
for the next four years, we trust that
some bold hand may pierce his heart with
a dagger point for the public good"
The Bever Dam Argus, another Cop
perhead sheet, justified the above infa-
nous declaration of the La Crosse Dem
ocrat, and added:
History shows several instances where
the people have been saved by the assas-
sination of their leaders, and history may
repeat itself in this country. The time
may come when it will be absolutely nee
essary that the people do away with such
rulers the quickest way possible"
Thus it will be seen that j. Wilkes
Booth is not the only assassin that had
murder in his black heart, but that he
has merely struck the blow that others
suggest and encourage. When leading
editors coolly advise the assassination of
the constitutionally elected officer of the
Government, the reckless and daring
hand will easily be found to lift the dag
ger or pull the trigger JanesUiIle, Vas.

INVESTIGATION OF THE CONSPIRACY
AssAssINArIoN as pREsIpENT uHeoLN.

If anything additional were required
To place President Lincoln's name in the
very first rank of historical characters,
it, was the tragical death which he has just
suffered, in common with the first and
greatest Prince of Orange and Henry the
great of France. If anything additional
were necessary to place slavery in the
category of the darkest crimes that have
cursed the human race, it was the assas-
sSnation of President Lincoln. That
crime is committed not against a man or
nation, but against humanity, and while
all except the friends of slavery will be
his mourners, the African race will be
his chief mourners. To them his name
will be a household word while the world
lasts. The ruler who has just sent to
their homes in safety a whole army of
rebels including their general, whose
lives were forfeited by the laws of their
country, is shot in the midst of the re-
joicings over returning peace and good
feeling, by some one of the class he was
ssekingmagnanimously to conciliate. Were
it not for the transcendent interest con-
neeted with the assassination of the Pres
ident, that of Secretary Seward would be
an event of the utmost Importance

PLANS OF BOOTH AND HIS G8HFEDERATEs-LIsT
OF e0NSPIRAT0RS.

The New York World furnishes {
lengthy inc graphic account of the pIot
against the rulers of the nation, which
contains the following points: Booth was
the original protector of the crime. Il
was seconded by parties In Canada, and
was furnished with q murderous accom-
| plice, in Payne, from that section. Booth
found another bloody accomplice in At
zeratt- The route for the escape was
planned two weeks prior to the act. At
zeratt was the man who had the room
Vice President johnson. He ran
away so hastily that he left all his arms
and baggage; also a coat belonging to
Booth. When Booth escaped Harold
went with him. They reached Surratt's
at midnight, and stopped at Loyd's Hotel
and gotta bottle of whisky, Booth remain
ing on his horse. Harold went up stairs
and got a carbine; Lloyd offered another,
ken his leg and could not carry it.
As they rode off, Booth called out, I'VE
have murdered the President and Secre-
tary of State" They reached DR.. Mudd's
house before sunrise, and Booth had his
broken leg set; an old-fashioned wooden
bandbOx had to be split up for splinters.
DIR. MUdd says he did not know who they
were. The following accompliees are all
under arrest except Surratt and Capt.
OSGI- OpduRlNT. Bn6 stage carpenter, Al
fred Samuel Arnold, of Baltimore, who
claims to have backed ont of the party;
Capt. Jet, who took Booth behind him
on his horse; Aircraft, assigned to kill
the Vice President; Mrs. Suratt, mistress
of the conspiracy; Mclaughlin, friend
and confederate of Booth; DIR. Mudd,
who set Booths leg; Moyd, who enter
tanned the assassins and gave them a car
bine; Samuel Caxter, who concealed and
fed Booth; Harold, who attempted the
life of Secretary Seward; Mr.. and Mrs.
Adams, of Newport, believed to have as
sisted Booth; Nh. Wilson, of Newport,
though cognizant of the crime did not
assist justice.
INVESTIGATION OF THE CONSPIRACY.
The Times special says: The prepare
ton of the conspiracy cases for trial, has
devolved upon Col. Burnett, who CON
Quoted the treason cases at indianapolis.
His great ability developed in those cases
commended him to the government. He
is now sitting the mass of testimony in
possession of the government. The
prisoners are closely guarded. Among
the precautions adopted to prevent them
from committing suicide is the padding
of the head Of each thickly with cotton,
that they cannot butt their brains out.
This was suggested by the attempt made
by Payne, a few days since.
Delaware gazette. [volume] (Delaware, Ohio) 1855-1886, 1865-05-05

Governor Bramlette, of Kentucky, said
in an address delivered at Louisville OF
the murder of Abraham Lincoln:
How few there are that possessed that
extended charity that belonged to him !
No man has ever seen him, from the be-
ginning of this trouble to the hour of his
death, moved with anger. We saw him
calm, placid and equable in temper, strong
in his sentiments, and comprehensive in
his views. We may differ with him, and
have differed with him, but when the
judgment of future events has come, we
find we are differing blindly that he was
right and we we're wrong. CCheers. +
Standing as we did in local positions, sur
rounded as we were by local prejudices,
he occupied an elevated stand point, and
viewed the whole political surroundings
of the country, grasping with massive in
tellect the logic of events, and gave us
nothing but what he regarded the logic of
events in his administration"

INFORMATION FROM sTonEMAMs CAVALRY.

KNOXVILLE, May ID, 10 p. m.-JeH.

The Marble City, just arrived, brings
the sad intelligence of the explosion and
burning of the steamer Sultana, some
eight or ten miles above Memphis, at a
little past two o'clock on the morning of
the 9th. She was en- route to st. Louis
from New Orleans, with 1900 people on
board, 1864 of whom, including 30 com
missioned officers, were exchanged Fed
eral prisoners from Vicksburg. She now
lies on a sand bar near Tagleman's Land
ing, nothing visible but her charred re-
mains and jackstaff.
Gee. Cation, pilot, and VIM. Paberry,
mate, are the only officers known to be
saved, except Clemens, engineer, who is
almost dead.
OF twelve lady cabin passengers, two
only were saved.
