Tiie two former now hold seats in Congre.s, and the htter is a new man to take the place of Mr Tappan, whose termex pires with the present Congress.

Mr Bell has for some time been upon the bcnch, and consequently somewhal removed from an active paiticipa tion in the more recent exciting political con tests. He is neverthtless no less a democrat than George, but his party evidently entered into this nuinieuvre for the purpose of de feating Mr liollins. This is apparent from the manner in which they conduct the can vass. Thev averthat thev are readv to "sink party," and call upon the freemen of the dis trict to "rise above party" and support Mr Bell. We think the freemen will heed the call.

The people of Harrisburg were astoundcd, Saturdav morning, bv an announcement that Mr Lincoln had started in a special train for Washington, at 9 p. m. Eriday night, incog nito, dispatches having been received requir ing his presence at the capital. Keports are busiiy circulated that there was a p'.ot to assassinate him while passing through Baltimore, but such stories are dis credited. The moi e pr obahlc version is, that an attempt was to be mude to throw Mr Lin coln's special train off the track on the Balti more and Washington railroad. The Baltimore committee visited Harris burg, but did not have an interview with Mr Lincoln. Mr Lincoln went via Philadelphia and Baltimore, and reached Washington at f o' clock Saturdav morning. A great sensation was caused by his lrrival. It wa-s unsuccess l'ully t.cught to conceal the fact, especially from the press, the event being at firt com municated to a few personal friends in confi- dence. He was met at the station by several at.

He was on Friday advised to colne vt-'"ion which meets March Mth. without delay, and preparations were made! A letter from a distininiished Bell-and-Ev- io meei iinn ai uie siauon, anu atleruard the ; 4 l . 1. 1 mayor was to maKe a welcome audrc the proram was spoiled. About 1 ii j.uiuuiii uiiu .r oeuuru paiu ineir re spects to the president, sjiending about ten minutes in general conversation. Mr Lincoln gave his lirst icception at Washington, to the memhers of the peace conference, with John Tyler and Salmon 1'. Chaae at their hcad, on Saturday evening. A large number of citizens and ladies were presented to him, and Mr Buchanau's cabinet also paid their respects. Democrats as well as republicans are reported to be pleased with tht president elect. Ilir first day at Washington was a decided success. Mr Lincoln, in company with Mr Seward, attended St John's Episcopal church on Sun day. The family of Mr Lincoln, and the mem bers of his traveling party, left Harrisburg Saturdav morning, and ariived at the capital in the evening. Mrs Lincoln excuscd her self from her husband's levee, by the plea of ftdiue from the day's travel. The following account of the motives for the night journey to Washington is given by the New York Times extra of Saturdav: "Abraham Lincoln, the president elect of the United States, is safe in lhe capital of thc nation. By the admirable arrangement of General Scott, the country has been gpared the lasting disgrace, which would have been fastened indelibly upon it had Mr Lincoln been murdered upon his journey thither, as he would have been had he followed the pro gram as announced in the papers, and gone by the Northern central railroad to Balti more. On Thursday night after he had retired, Mr Lincoln was arouscd and informed that a stranger desired to see him on a matter of life or death. He declined to admit him un less he gave his name, which he at once did. Such prestige did his name carry that while Mr Lincoln was yet disrobed he granted an interview to the caller. A prolonged con versation elicited the fact that an organized body of men had determined that Mr Lin coln should not be inaugurated, and that he should never leave the city of Baltimore a live, if, indeed, he ever entered it. The Iiet of the names of the conspirators presented a most astonishing array of persons high in southern coniidence, and some whose fame is not to this country alone. Statesmen laid the plan, bankers endorsed it, and adventu rera were to carry it into effecU As they un- derstood Mr Lincoln was to lcave Harris- burg at nine o'clock this morning bv special train, and the idea was. if nossible. to throw I . i .

Mr Lincoln did not want to vield. a special train. He wore a Scotch plaid cap and a very long military cloak, so that he was entirely unrecognizable. Atcompanied by Superintendent Lewis and one friend, he started, while all the town, with the exception of Mrs Linrnln rl c,nnr i Jml.l n,i iwo reponers, who were sworn to secresy, supposcd him to be asleep. The telegraph wires were put beyond the reach of any one who might desire to use them. At 1 o'clock the fact was whispered from one to another, and it soon became the themc of most excit ed conversation. Many thought it a very in judicious moe, while others regarded it as a stroke of great merit." . . Attcmpt to Assassinate Mr Van Wyck of New York.

Mr Cass called Monday morning, in company with Mr Seward, and paid his respects to the president elect. The vetcran wept whtn speaking ofthe condition of the country.
