When Lincoln was assassinated, Vice President Andrew Johnson became the new President. No new Vice President was chosen; the office was vacant until Ulysses Grant was elected President in 1868 and Schuyler Colfax became Vice President.
This is why the Constitution was amended in 1967, with the 25th Amendment. It finally set rules for how a new Vice President is chosen when the sitting Vice President has to take over the Presidency.
