The alleged ‘"Conspiracy"’ to seize the Capitol.

Washington, Jan. 31.

--The Select Committee of Five have examined about twelve witnesses as to the alleged conspiracy to seize the Federal Capitol. Nothing convincing has been elicited. Gen. Scott was before them more than two hours to-day. He said there was abundant evidence, to his mind, to justify him in making military preparations, though it was not of the strongest character. There is certainly nothing to show that an organization for that purpose exists in the District of Columbia.
