time Of his death, he was insensible. ex.
hibited no signs Of life, and recognized no
person. The Vice President visited him
during the night, but remained only an
hour-in fact many of those who rushed
70 assist in taking care of the President
found their presence prevented rather than
gave assistance, and therefore left. Per-
sons present at the time of his death was
reduced to a small number. To-day there
has been continuation Of the mournful
stiffness of yesterday - the streets not
crowded. There is not a building in
either Georgetown or Washington that is
not draped with mourning. The corpse

Star says that developments have been
made showing the existence Of a deep laid
plot on the part Of gang Of conspirators,
including members of the order Of the
Knights Of the Golden Circle, to murder
the President and Cabinet.
We have reason to believe that Secre.
tary Seward had intimasion from Europe
several months since that something of
desperate character was to transpire in
Washington, and it is more than probable
It had reference to the plot of asssssina-

Iowa, last night, stated that he had just
had long conversation with the Presi-
