THE BALTIMORE PLOT OP 1861.

SASSINATE PRESIDENT LINCOLN.
In the June number of Harper's Month
ly, among the other interesting articles,
is one in regard to the Baltimore plot to
assassinate Mr. Lincoln, of which so little. 1DSi Dut l.ne exact plan ot operation bj

tics. With these qualifications he pos-:auu
scssed a fine personal appearance, insiuu
ating manners, and that power of adapta
tion to the persons whom they wish te
influence, popularly attributed to the Jo
suits. Howard was instructed to assume
the character of an extreme secessionist,
go to a first-class hotel, register his name,
and his residence as New Orleans, visit
places of amusement, seek the acquain
tance and secure the confidence of the
young aristocracy of that city; enter

'earn the wild projects it was known they
were then forming. lie was also instructed
to make daily reports to his chief, then
under an assumed name, occupying an
office and nominally carrying on a regular
business in Baltimore. Those rei
ports,
now lying before me, are curious and
interesting. They show that Howard
was eminently successful, that he soon
became a welcome guest among many of
the first families in that old and refined
city, that he was a favorite with both
sexes among the ardent and mercurial
young aristocracy, which furnished to the
rebellion Harry Gilmore, the 'French
Lady Stuart, and many other partisans,
and in whose circles .'Dixie and 4 My
Maryland' are still mournfully sung over
' the lost cause Mamy Baltimore belles
are now living who might innocently
blush at the disclosures of the daily re
ports of one whom, iu February, 1SC1,
they called 4 the fascinating Howard of
New Orleans.'"
He continues:
44 By the 15th of February Pinkerton'a
machinery was fairly in running order;
his agents in full communion with the
clubs and secret societies of Baltimore,
so that an interview was planned and
brought about between Howard's chief
and a Captain Fernandina, one of the
most active of the conspirators. Fernan
dina was an Italian or of Italian descent.
He had lived in the South for many
years, and was thoroughly possessed of
the idea of southern wrongs, and that
the South had been outraged by the elec
tion of Lincoln; and, educated with Ital
ian ideas, he justified the use of the sti
letto and assassination as a means of pre
venting the President elect from taking
bis scat in the Executive chair. He was
an enthusiast and a fanatic In the in
terview with Fernandina, which took
place at saloon, in the presence of
some of the military company which he
commanded his lieutenant and others
in their confidence in the course of the
conversation Fernandina, believing he
was addressing a thorough secessionist,
said: 'Lincoln shall never, never be
President. My life said he, ' is of no
consequence. I am willing to give it for
his. I will sell my life for that of that
abolitionist. As Orsini gave bis life for
Italy, I am ready to die for the rights of
the South
"Someone present remarked: 'Are
there no means of saving the South ex
cept by assassination 1' No said he;
4 you might as well try to blow down the
Washington monument with your breadth
as to change our purpose die he must
and shall; and be added, turning to
Captain T a CO conspirator, we will
if necessary, all die together. Every
captain will in that day prove himself a
hero. The first shot fired, the head trai
tor Lincoln dead, and all Maryland will
be with us and the South freed. Mr.
II said he, turning to Pinkerton, 4 if
I alone must doit, I shall not hesitate!
Lincoln shall die in this city!'
"The next day Pinkerton met the
same Captain T , one of Fernandina's
associates, who called Pinkerton aside
and whispered: ' It is determined that
the G d d n Lincoln shall never pass
through here alive I The d d abolition
ist shall uevcr set foot on southern soil
but to find a ravc
He added: 4 1 have
seen Colonel Kane, Chief of Police, and
be is all right, and in one week from to
day the North shall want a new Presi
dent, for Lincoln will be dead.' "
He says further:
"The time for Mr. Lincolu's passage
through Baltimore was rapidly approach-

te-jaiD5 -it was known among the leaders
that. George 1 Kane, the Marshal of po-

Chesapeake Bay, with a boat concealed,
ready to take the assassin on board as
soon as the deed was done, and convey
him to a southern port, where he would
have been received with acclamations
and honored as a hero. But who should
do thebloody deed ? It was feared by
some that Hill lacked the nerve and cool
uess. To determine the question a meet
ing of the conspirators was held on the
night of the 18th of February. Some
twenty persons were collected, each of
whom had taken an oath of secrecy, and
also sworn, if designated, that he would
take the life of the President elect. It
was arranged that ballots should be pre
pared and placed in a hat, and that the
person who drew a red ballot should be
the assassin."
Mr. Pinkerton found it hard to per
suade Mr. Lincoln of the existence of the
conspiracy. The writer says:
44 While Mr. Judd detailed the circum
stance of the conspiracy, Mr. Lincoln lis
tened very attentively, but(did not say a
word, nor did his countenance, which I
closely watched, show any emotion. He
wa3 thoughtful, serious, but decidedly
firm.
44 Pinkerton then, himself, went over
the ground, detailing to Mr. Lincoln all
the facts connected with Fernandina,
Hill, and others, the condition of popular
feeling, and the plans of the assassins;
also the fact that Kane, Chief of Police,
declared that he would give him no 44 po
lice escort." He told. him there were
perhaps ten or fifteen desperadoes wild,
enthusiastic young men who had been
wrought up to a pitch of fanaticism, in
which they really believed they would be
patriots and martyrs in taking his life,
even at the cost of their own; that they
had bound themselves by oaths to assas
sinate him; that a vast, excited crowd
would meet him at the depot of the Nor
thern Central Railroad, a fight would be
got up in the crowd, and this would be
the signal for the attack on his person,
and in the melee a dozen desperate men,
armed with revolvers and dirks, each
sworn to take his life, would be upon his
path, and that he, Mr. Pinkerton, felt a
moral conviction that he could not pass
from the Calvert street depot to the
Washington depot, a mile and a half, in
an open carriage, alive. Both Judd and
Pinkerton pressed these and other cor
roborating facts upon him with all the
power which they possessed. He re
mained silent a few uiomeuts, and it was
suggested that he should change the pro
gramme, and take the night train for
Washington that very night. Mr. Judd
said to him: 4 These proofs cannot be now
made public, as the publication of the
facts would involve the lives of several of
Mr. Pinkerton's force, and among others,
the life of Webster, serving in a rebel
company under drill at Perryinan's, in
Maryland Some other conversation
was held between him and Mr. Judd, in
regard to the construction which would
be placed upon his conduct if he changed
the programme and went directly to
Washington. Mr. Judd then asked,
'wil you, upon any statement made, con
sent to leave for Washington on to-night's
train?' Mr. Lincoln promptly replied:
4 No, 1 cannot consent to do this. I shall
hoist the fiag on Independence Hall to
morrow morning (Washington's birth
day), and go to Harrisburg to-morrow,
and meet the Legislature of Pennsylva
nia; and then I shall have fulfilled all my
engagements. After this, if you (Judd),
and you, Allen (Pinkerton), think there
is positive danger in my attempting to
go through Baltimore openly, according
to the published programme, if you can
arrange any way to carry out your pur
pose, I will place myself in your hands
4 Mr. Lincoln says Pinkerton; 'eaid this
with a tone and manner so decisive, 'meant,' 44 All's well." Reaching Lalti
we saw that no more was to be said.' fmoi'o at about half-past three in the morn
It was finally arranged between Judd, ing. Mr. Steams, the Superintendent of
1'inkerton, and the officers of the P enn- thoroad, entered the car, and whispered

fhis traig was to be detained until Mr.
Lincoln arrived; every contingency, in
regard to the connection of the trains and!
possible delays, was most skillfully plan-1
ncd, bo as to secure connections and the
certainty of going through on time.
"Meanwhile, to prevent this change!
Deing telegraphed to JJaltimore by a con
federate, or information of this changa of
route being known, and leaking out in
any way, the superintendent of the Tel
egraph Company, at the instance of Mr.
Pinkerton, sent a practical telegraph
climber to isolate Harrisburg from tele
graphic communication with all the world
unt:i .nr. Lincoln should reach uash-
inston.
On the morning of the 22d of February
Mr.' Lincoln visited 44 Independence
Hall," and with his own hand raised over
it tie flag. His speech on this occasion
was the most impressive and characteris
tic ol any which he made on his journey
to the Capital. He gave most eloquent
expression to the emotions and associa
tions suggested by the day and place.
He declared that all his political senti
ments were drawn from those which had
been expressed in that Hall. He alluded
most ftelingly to the dangers and toils,
and sulcriug of those who had adopted
and made good the Declaration of Inde
pendence; that declaration which gave
promise that "in due time the weight
would be lifted from the shoulders of all
men." Conscious of the dangers which
threatened his country, and that those
dangers originated in opposition to the
principles of the Declaration of Independ
ence, and knowing that his own life was
even now tfireatened for his devotion to
.liberty, and that his way to the National
Capital was beset by assassins, yet he did
not hesitate to declare 44 that he would
rather be assassinated on the spot than
surrender those principles."
During the same night on which Pink
erton's disclosures were made to Mr.
Lincoln, F. W. Seward, Esq., arrived at
Philadelphia, having been sent by his
father to warn him of the danger which
was awaiting him at Baltimore. Facts
had come to the knowledge of Secretary
Seward and General Scott, corroborating
the evidence which had been accumu
lated by Mr. Pinkerton of the existence
of the conspiracy. The circumstance
rendered Mr. Lincoln less reluctant than
he had been to consent to the arrange
ments for the passage through Baltimore
on the night of the 22d.
Mr. Lincoln on the same day, the 22d
of February, went to Harrisburg, was
cordially received by Governor Curtin
and the Legislature, and a vast crowd of
citizens. At six o'clock an engine and
one passenger-car were standing on the
track leading to Philadelphia. Soon af
ter, excusing himself on the ground of
fatigue, he left the dinner table, went to
his room, changed his dress for a travel
ing-suit, and, with a broad-brimmed felt-
hat (which had been presented to him in
New York), he went quietly to a side
door, got into a carriago in waiting, and
was driven, with one companion, Ward
II. Lamon, rapidly to the car which
awaited him, and was soon speeding on
toward Philadelphia. The secret ot his
departure was known to but very few, and
by them disclosed to no one. On his ar
rival at Philadelphia Mr. Lincoln was
met by Mr. Pinkerton, taken into a car
riage and driven to the depot of the Phil
adelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore
Railroad, Mr. Pinkerton timing their ar
rival so as to reach the train at the mo
ment of departure.
The officers of the road, to prevent the
possibility of the departure of the train
before Mr. Lincoln was aboard, had in
structed the conductor not to leave until
he received a package of important Gov
ernment dispatches, "which must go
through to Washington that night." Mr.
Pinkerton had caused the three sections
of the sleeping-car, which was on the end
of the train, to be taken, and his agent
stood at the door, which was locked,
awaing the arrival of the party. When
the party appeared the door was opened,
Mr. Lincoln stepped in, went to his birth;
an officer of the road handed the package
of Government dispatches consisting
of some numbers of the New York Her
ald, carefully sealed up and addressed to
the Secretary of State and instantly
the whistle sounded and the train was
whirling on towards Washington, bearing
in security not " Coisar and his fortunes'
but Lincoln and the destinies of the re
public. So skillfully had the matter been ar
ranged that no one in Philadelphia had
seen Mr. Lincoln, no one saw him enter
the car, no one on the train except the
party of the President, not even the con
ductor, knew of his presence in tho car.
When the conductor camo along to ex
amine the tickets Mr. Pinkerton showed
him Mr. Lincoln's ticket, and he did not
look into his berth. At Hnrve dc Grace
Pinkerton was signaled by NVebstcr that
44 All's well; " and from there to 'Balti

Wearing Away.
things are wearing away, noth
cverlasting. The rocky sides of
All
in is
the river which resist the cutting cf
chisel, yield to the overpowering hold
and continual stroke of the sweeping cur
rent or the breaking waves. The over
lapping stones of the mountain, steel-clad-like,
defying impregnation through any
attempt of man, challenging any mechani
cal power to move them from their sta
tionary positions, hung in their ponderous
weight, are ineffectual ia resistance to
that continued, yet imperccptiable, weak
ening of their vast bulk,'and finally give
away to the never-dying power of time
and crumble to dust. Trees, animals,
and all thiDgs that live all material sub
stances are wearing away.
Everything is wearing away. Old cus
toms, fashions, and habits wear out of use
and form the deep-hidden strata of those
numberless things that were, but that are
overspread with what is new and exercis
ed by us to-day. Principals around which
were hung all the adornments that the
brilliant intellects of philosophers could
manufacture are numbered with the past
as sophisms useless to transmit to futur
ity, and incapable of standing the wear of
time. They soon proved cracked and
worthless, and were but talismanic to
some circumstance, but with its death
they departed.
Doctrines around which were shed all
the halo of truth that their discoverers
could prove, and under which was placed
all the support iron-like of sages, have
worn so thin through ages that their fal
laciousness has long since been disclosed,
and eternal as they once appeared have
become enervated, powerless, through the
onslaught of time. They, too, have
shown that nothing is eternal.
Old tenets and maxims that had be
come indoctrinated in the minds of na
tions of people, that had been declared as
truisms, and held as guards to liberty, de
fenders against innovations of wrong, have
worn threadbare and now arc shunned as
opposers to human rights, and scoffed at
as senseless impediments for advancement.
All these have worn away. All else is
wearing away.
Cut Worms.
When the corn first appears above the
surface of the ground, cut alder bushes
and strew them over the field about a rod
apart, placing them as near the corn hill
as possible. If the worms arc plenty, in
a day or two you will find them gathered
about the bushes when you can destroy
them. They will leave the ground and
crawl under the alder bushes and the
corn will escape. This remedy is simple
and easy and requires but little time ; all
can 'be done during the leisure hours
which every farmer sometimes has. 1
have tried this remedy and found it very
eflective. Farmers would do well, though
to plow ground in the fall when the ex
posure of the soil to the cold of winter
will kill the insects which produce the
worm.
Careful Now.
Our people must be careful how they
use eggs. Since the advent of the locusts
the yolks of the egg3 have been chang
ing to a light yellow, bordering on the
green, in which 6tate they arc unhcathly,
if not positively poisonous.
Chicken flesh is said by medical men
to be seriously impregnated with the state
ot the locust, ana, ot a consequence, is
very unhcathly. Uuless you are a.surred
and know about the chickens and eggs do
not use any iu your family. hx.
Cure for Foundered Horses.
Take a lump of alum the size of a
walnut, powder it and dissolve in warm
water. The horse must be drenched in
this liquor and it will throw him into a
profuse perspiration, and he will soon be
as. well as ever ; it should bo done as soon
as you ascertain his condition.

A Singular Casev
A Montrose merchant was called upon
a few days ago by a stranger, with a long
paper in his hand. Supposing it to be a
subscription list for some benevolent ob
ject, he took it, and running over tho
names soon found his own among them.
The man then explained. Some eleven
ycar3 ?go, a citizen of this county was
burned out; and his friends started
subscription paper, unknown to him, and
raised three or four hunired dollars for
him. Having since been prospered, ho
now insists on returning, with interest
every dollar so presented to him; and ha
has been recently in town searching out
the parties answering . to his list, and
