Washington Correspondence of Boston

Washington Correspondence of Boston
Traveller
Gen. Grant, in recent conversa-
ton, said; The darkest day of my
life was the day heard of Lincoln's
assassination. | did not know what
it meant. Here was the REBELLION
put down in the field and starting
up again in the cutters; we had
fought it as war ,now we had to fight
1t as assassination. Lincoln was
killed on the evening Of the 14th of
April. | was busy sending out Or
ders to stop recruiting, the purchase
OF supplies, and to muster out the
Army. Lincoln had promised to go
TO the theatre, and wanted me to go
with him. While / was with the
President not came from Mrs.
Grant saying that she must leave
Washington that night. She want
ed to go to Burlington to see her
children. Some incident of triflinp
nature had made her resolve to leave
that evening. l was glad to have it
so, AS did note want to go to the
theatre. So / made my excuses to
Lincoln, Ind at the proper hour we
started for the train. AS we were
driving along Pennsylvania avenue,
a horseman drove. past us on a gall
Top, and back again around our car
riage, looking into it. Mrs. Grant
said: There is a man who sat near
us at lunch to-day, with some other
men, and tried to overhear our con-
versation. He was SO rude that we
left the DINING room Here he is
now riding after u.s. thought it
was only curiosity, but learned af-
terward that the horseman was
Booth. 1t seemed that l was to have
been attacked, and Mrs. Grants
sudden resolve to leave changed the
plan. A few days after | received
an anonymous letter from a man
saying that he had been detailed to
kill me; that he rode on my train
as far as Havre de Grace, and, as
my car was locked, he failed to get
in. He thanked God that he had
failed. remember that the con-
ductor locked our car, but how true
the letter was cannot say. / learn
ed of the assassination as l was
passing through Philadelphia. /
turned around, took special train,
and came on to Washington. 1t
was the gloomiest day of my life."
