The Conspiracy to Connect jefferson
Davis with the Assassination of
Mr.. LincOln-H0W the Evidence
was TO be Obtained.

The Washington correspondent Of
the New York World says the follow
ing correspondence shows clearly the
desperate means that were resorted
to by the Bureau of Military Justice
to connect Mr.. Davis with the assas-
sination plot. We do not think q
more infamous character exists to-
day, any where In official position,
than the sO-called Judge-advocate.-
Nor can the records of English histO-
ry, foul as it is with debased charac-
tiers, present meaner one than that
which is being incorporated into our
history by Judge Holt. He is a dis
grace to the American name.
The characters mentioned in this
correspondence, except Holt, swore
before the Congressional Committee
that their testimony before given was
all false; that they went under as
sumed names; that their object in
swearing false was money. The first
letter is directed to Sanford Conover
Esq, Washington, d. G.
