1t is stated By Washington letter writers
that John H. Surratt had d brother" 1t is
also stated thst Gcn'l Sheridan heard of him
in Texas VIXEN he was on his way to Wash
ington to assassnate the President. The
General telegraphsd the horrid tidings to
Stsntsn. and that official having fatherly
care for the welfare Of the Executive, sta
toned guards about the Presidential man
sion, with orders 10 watch for the great
expected.
In the meantime the President found his
residence begirt with armed men and
suspectiny that they were placed there by
the War Secretary az detectives and spies On
himself, rather than o. his enemies, called
Stanton 70 account N language rather eZ>
pr.ssive Of his contempt Of the narrower.
Tn. Var Secretary then made an explains
ton, telling his reason for placing guard
around the mansion. What reply was made
20 this explanation, is not knewn. or at least
Is not stated, butthe troops went back to their
bsrracks Tzasc Surratt has net yet rl.de
his appearance. aad the President still lives.
The question Is still moo.ei wh9 the sem
try was watching, the President or Surratt.
The President evidently considered that it
was unnecessary TO watch either.

Sill Another Congressional
E5E.n

IL is announced that the Reconstruction"
or how-not-to do-it committee, have agreed
upon another plan, It may be designated a.
Congressional Plan No. 8, I or s, az the case
may be. Like its predecessors, Congressional
Plans numbers I, 2, 3, and SO on, ii is de-
signed to obstruet and delay the restoration
If the southern states, not to bring about
that result which the people so much desire,
ard the radical politicians so much fear.
I Congressional Plan No. 6, or S, as the
case may be, is proposition to divide the
ten uureprssented states into FIVE military
districts, 10 proclaim martial law therein,
AMI appoint military sa:rap to rule over
each. Of course it will be necessary to pro-
vide-each military satrap with an army,
otherwise the extent Ct his rale viii be rather
nominal. Congressional Plan No. 6, : or s.
as the case may be, appears therefore TO BIZ
one waieh will please all loyal army cons
tractors amazingly.
Bot it viii not succeed. 1t is probably net
intended to succeed. 1t requires for It's sue
cess The corporation Of the war-executng
as wen as tke war>declsring power. Con-
grsss may declare war; and may, with the
requisite number Of votes, divide the cous-
try INTO as many military districts as it
pleases. bat it cannot command soldier in
any one of them. CONGRESSIONAL Plan No.
{, ! or s, as tho case may be, while it is the
most rnonstrous, is the mos; absurd OF all
the numerous congressional plans that have
been devised. 1t is the climax in the series
of congressional illustrations of how not to
do 1T Times.

in spring we begun to think OF pioug.is

to get forty yoke Of oxen to one pleugh-we
