Esq, of York District, and in that section
Of the State has high reputation as a
stock horse. In January, 1865, a patriotic
citizen purchased him at high price, and
offered him as a present to the most dis
tinguished cavalry officer in the Confede-

however, with characteristic modesty, de-
clined to accept the costly and splendid
charger. John, having the kindest dispo-

THE PLOT'TETS IN THE CAPITOL.

1t is with fixed feeling Of sorrow, says
the National LateHigenoer, We have heard of
the nightly assemblages Of the majority of
Congress in the Capitol, with closed and
guarded DOORS under the injunction of pro-
found secresy.
This is the Inauguration of a new era in
our history, and it is one to which the atten-
ton of our American people should be called.
It must be remembered these are not the
meetings of persons without authority, about
whose movements the public are in no way
concerned, but it is the dominant party of
both Houses Of Congress; it is the Senate
and the House in secret conclave; it is the
legislative power Of forty millions Of peo-
pie, in concealed elaboration
What does it mean2 If it is legitimate
business they are after, why is not the bust
ness transacted with open doors, in the light
of day, and under the eyes of the American
people2 II looks as if il was something they
were ashamed Ct or feared to have known.
Have they so lost confidence in the intelli-
gence Of the people that they fear to trust that
people with a knowledge of public affairs
Do they fear that their power is giving vsy,
and that the ground Is crGmbling beneath
them, and some secret scheme must be cen
cocted to arrest the disastrous turn events
are taking2 Or do their purposes go be-
You'd this? Do they mediate a new viola
ton of the Constitution to secure their hold
on power?
Certain it is that they do not nightly as
semble like conspirators in the Capitol, with
closed doors, to gaze at each others faces,
or to indulge in the luxury Of public speak
ing. No; they mean business, as they slip
with stealthy steps by night to the Capitol.
We have not learned whether, like GUY
FAwKEs, they move with their dark Ian
terms. But whether they do or not, we pro-
test against their longer Profaning the sacred
Capitol with their midnight eOnclayes.
