AN ABSURD Assassination S7oRy.-The
Express this evening gives currency to the
report of the discovery Of en- alleged con-
spiracy to assassinate President Johnson.
The facts as alleged are certainly startling,
and are well calculated to inspire alarm IT
they have the least foundation in truth.
Whether true or false, names and dates are
given with freedom which would hardly be
INDUCED in if the report was roarback,
manufactured out Of whole cloth. 1t seems,
SO the story goes, that pending the impeach-
ment trial o number of negroes, led by
few white men, banded together in the first
ward of this city and took the most solemn
oaths to assassinate the President if he
should be convicted by the high court of
impeachment and should attempt to resist
