The Northwestern Conspiracy.

During the war it was we'll understood
that there were secret organizations at the
North, and particularly at the Northwest,
which actively co operated with the rebels
in their efforts to destroy the Union. They
were known as "Knights of the Golden
Circle, The Sons OF Liberty. The au-
thorties at Washington were conscious
that hostile and secret conspiracy was
shaping itself in some of the Northwestern
States, and that many of the most promi-
nent democrats, even some who were in
Congress, were encouraging proposed
outbreak in the North in aid OF the cause
of the Confederates. Jacob Thompson's
presence in Canada was known to have
some connection with the Vaccinations in
progress on this side of the border Now
that Thompson is dead all his papers have
passed into other hands. and from them
and from Jefferson Davis letters of in
structon as well as from correspondence
which has been secured, the history of the
Stoat Conspiracy III tho iNoibhWooe VIII NC
disclosed. The story involves the scheme
to capture the only gunboats on the lakes,
attack Chicago, release the Confederate
prisoners at Camp Chase, the attack of st.
Louis and the general uprising of the
Northwestern copperheads.
The important documents are all in the
hands of Chief Justice Hines of Louisville,
Kentucky, who will prepare the history
tor publication. 1t was believed at the
the time that these secret organizations
had branches in Maine, of which promi-
nent democrats were members, and that
they were interested with Vallandgham
and other copperheads in the conspiracy to
deliver this government into the hands of
its enemies. Be that as it may the revels
tons to be made will be looked for with
great interest in every Northern State.

BROWNSVILLE, Pa, Oct. 22.-"No, this is
not the room. Still. it was a corner room
remember just how il looked, even to the
wall paper, and these walls are bare. No
this is not it,
Mr. Blaine was the speaker. The gray
haired statesman, and diplomat, writer and
maker of history stood at the threshold of the
chamber where thousands have believed he
first saw the light. Ripe in wears and full of
achievement. he gazed at the dingy room,
lost in thought. Ii was moment when the
mind flashed back through almost six decades
of eveuttul history, back to the time when he
lay = helpless infant in his mothers arms. If
he failed to identity the room in which his
perception of outward things first began to
wake the retrospect was none the less vivid.
With a sigh he turned and left the old house,
whose narrow limits seemed dwarfed by his
presence.
Mr.. Blaine, with his sons Emmens AID
James, Stephen B. Elkins and the Press cor
respondent, had driven over the bridge this
morning from the main town to visit the
house on the west bank of the Monongshels
where he was born. A quaint old structure
it is, of two stories, with gable roof OF
northumberland shingles and walls SCARED
by time. 1t il in reality made of two houses,
before the Revolution; the other half, of
brick, being later addition. The stone part
has at some time been covered with stucco,
which has fallen of in pieces, giving the walls
peculiarly dilapidated appearance. On the
front, facing the river, portico is let into
the house, supported by round pillars OF
brick, and the frosts of many winters have
loosened the bricks so that the columns look
rckety. The northern and more modern
half is now uninhsbited its brick walls are
uneven and bullying; its window panes are
smashed and cobwebs have taken the place of
glass.

A headstone over the grave Of Mrs. Walker
stands at the side of the monument. From
the cemetery the carriage dove a mile or
two out the old pike which winds far up the
hill east of the town and commands a mag
nificent view. At the Brubaker tavern, an
old inn where travellers over the National
Pike found refreshment, the carriage turned
back down the hill and drove to the residence
of J. w. Jeffries. Mr.. Jeffries' back yard
was once the Brow nsville Cemetery, and w.
ing fiat on the ground and in use as a walk
are the tombstones of John II. Washington,
Archibald Washington and Edward B

poisoned their masters. Near by, still stand
ing erect, is a stone inscribed:
"Here lies the body of Thomas Brown,
Who once was owner Of this town."
The date of death is 1928. The heirs of
Thomas Brown have at various times thrown
the town into commotion by threatening to
upset the titles to most of the real estate in
it. As the carriage rolled up the street Mr.
Blaine pointed out the Grard House, which
in his boy hood, was called the Workmen's Ho-
tel, and said that Henry Clay always stopped
dab. Mr.. Blaine heard him speak there three
times, and his memory was keen enough to
enable him to quote sentence from one of
the speeches. At another point he showed
his companions the house where President
william Henry Harrison and Secretary of
the Interior Tom Ewing stopped. and where
William Allen introduced the President to
the people. Then the carriage went to the
Episcopal churchysrd, where lie buried the
ancestors of the aristocracy of the town, the
Bowmsns, Skaters. Hogs, Jacobs, Dawsous.
and others. Mr.. Blaine aused at many of
the tombstones and recalled some incident
Then came the drive over the bridge and the
visit to the birthplace already described.
The OLD LOG SCHOOLGIRLS.
From the house where he was born Mr..
Blaine guided the horses past John Gillespie
old place on the hill and then to the farm of
his grandfather, Neil Gillespie. The farm
is now in other hands, but Mr.. Blaine pointed
out the barn where he played, the field where
he rode an old horse bareback, and the piece
OF woods where he went hunting coons at
night with. negro farm hands. short dis

Graves directed young Blaine's ideas. Tho
Union Schoolhouse" still stands, but now it
is fine frame structure, while when Miss
Graves taught it was built of logs. The
school teacher, young man, came out and
spoke to Mr.. Blaine, and the pupils all rushed
to the windows and shouted. Thence Mr..
Blaine drove to the top of Krepps' Knobb, a
hilltop 622 feet above the river and probably
1900 feet above the sea. The view included

There is some misunderstanding con-
corning the provisions of the Interstate
commerce bill that relates to the short
and long haul Senator Cullom explains
that it does not enforce local
freight schedule at the same rate as from
points far distant from each other on the
same line. 1t means, says Mr.. Cullom, that
the Pennsylvania road, for instance, shall
not charge more from Fort Wayne to
New \ ork than from Chicago to New
York, Fort Wayne being 40 miles nearer
to New York than Chicago is.
The provision also says that the com
mission may in special cases, on applica-
ton by the railroad, after investigation,
give the railroad relief from the opera
ton of the short-haul provision if il sees
proper to do so.
1t is claimed that in some cases-as
when two or more roads differently cir
cumstanced compete for business at the
same point, or when railroad is subject
to water competition at some point, or
when business is to be developed in a
newiy-opened section is for the inter
est Of the public as well as the railroads
TO allow the putting Of charges from such
points lower than from points where the
same competition is not met or'the same
requirements do not exist, though the
distance from the latter is smaller and
the business is substantially the same in
kind. There are doubtless many cases
in which this can he clearly shown, and
in such cases the commission would eXer-
else the discretion given TO it to sanction
the lower charges.
