A GIGANTIC CONSPIRACY.

The New York Times states that there is
lion Of President Lincoln was but one incl
dent OF conspiracy devised and set in motion
by rebels in Canada
=" We feel at liberty to state some facts
which have an important bearing on this
noint, and which come to us on good author
ity. Only the day before he was thrown from
his carriage and disabled Mr.. Seward received
letters from Canada, warning him of plot.
then nearly ripe for execution, TO dssdssiRote
all he leading members of The government, and
stating that it was got up by the rebel ennis
sarles in Canada aud wss to be carried out
under their direction. He consulted another
member Of the Cabinet on the subject, and al
though previous warnings of a similar tenor
had proved groundless, it was decided that
certain measures of precauton should be
adopted. Mr.. Stewards accident alone pre-
vented the fulflment Of their intention. But
the accuracy Of the information from Canada
is proved by subsequent events. Booths
call upon Vice President Johnson on Friday
afternoon has been already mentioned its
purpose probably was to obtain information
concerning the room for the use of his accom-
plice. A man the day before had taken the
room directly over Johnsons which he quit,
however, on Friday,-probebly 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 at
the same hour
The whole thing was gigantic conspiracy,
--traoeable, we do not doubt, to the rebel
agents in Canada, of whom Sanders is one OF
the most reckless aud INSCRIPTIONS leaders,
and who cloak their hellish designs under pre-
tended negotiations for peace"
The Tribunes Washington dispatch states
that when the whole history of the diabolica
plot of assassination il made public, the
world will be astounded at the enormity, as
well as at our forbearance with our Canadian
neighbors who have constantly furnished a
safe asy lum to the most neiarious villains.
Advices from Newbern of the 22l have
been received. The city was draped in
mourning and meeting was held on that day
10 express the public sorrow for the death OF
the President. The ratification of the con-
sututionsl amendment abolishing slavery is
regarded as certain. A desire to return TO
the Union appears general throughout the
State.

NEW 1Ohk, April 70.
The Herald's special Washington dispatch
says Sherman's terms of peace meet with
general Reproduction and a universal express
sion of surprise. 1t is well known that Mr.
Lincoln could have made peace at Fortress
Monroe, If he would have entertained such
terms as those proposed by Gen. Sherman.
Gen. Sherman bad not heard of the assassi-
nation of President Lincoln at the time.
The Worlds Washington dispatch says
Breckenridge was present at the conference
between Sherman and Johnston and partici-
pated in drawing up the terms of capitula-
ton. He freely admitted the failure of the
rebellion, and predicted that the consttu-
tional amendment to abolish slavery would
get the required vote. When our forces en-
tered Raleigh Gov, Vance made good his es-
cape.
The Herald's correspondence says;
Gen. Halleck has issued an order assuming
command in Richmond. Gen. Ord, before
leaving, issued an order rendering passports
to rebel officers OF Lees army who desired to
leave the country. 1t is stated that the ex-
change of 5000 Union prisoners now going
on at Darien, Ga, will take all the rebels
hold, while we yet hold from $4,000 to TO-
900.

armistice and he has teegraphed to me thro'

Mr.. Seward, is believed to be one of the St.
