REWARD FOR JEFF. DAVIS.
New YORK, april Is.
Grosbeck & Co., Of this city, offer S1O,-
900 towards the recovery of one JEFF.
Davis, fugitive from justice.
The Times says that German named
George SPugstein has taken the assAssina-
ton of President Lincoln to heart SO deep
ly that he attempted to commit suicide
last evening
The Tribune, commenting on Secretary
Stanton's order 10 commanders in the
field, not to regard Sherm4n's armistice,
says that the inevitable inference is that
Sherman has been superseded or that the
Secretary of War means to make him re-
sign. It is very plain that commanders in
the field whose subOrdina.es were publicly
notified to disregard his orders cannot
long retain with self respect or even be re-
tanned in his past position.
J. WILKES BOOTH.
The Commercial Advertisers Washing
ton apecisl says there are reasons for be-
lieving Booth was sfisnce1 to an estims-
bic lady in New York. Il is certain there
is no ground for the rumor that he had won
the affections of the daughter of promi.
nent New England Senator; there was
nothing more than drawing room SC
qusintance between the parties.
On Booths person was found diary in
which he had recorded the events of his
fight and other matters calculated to con-
firm his guilt connected with therebel gov
ernment. There was also found in his
pockets sterling exchange, obtained in Can
ada last October, where the disbolicalt plot
was doubtless arranged.
MRS. LINCOLN AND FAMILY.
Since the departure of the remains of
her husband on their last journey, Mrs.
Lincoln has become calm, but finds it i'm
possible at times to regard her loss with
resignation, so heavy, so unexpected
blow. President johnson has urged her
not to hasten her departure from the
White House, and she will remain there
until the close of May, when it Is her
present intention to locate herself in Chi
cago. Her eldest son, Captain Lincoln,
proposes to study law in that city, where
Master Thsddeus can enjoy excellent edu-
cationAl advantages.
The same letter ssys it was fortunate for
the republic that General Grant was here
when the intelligence of Gen. Shermsn's
blunder reached President johnson, and
that he Left SO promptly to convey the
disspprovsl of the Chief Magistrate.
1t may be that his presence will be re-
quired in North Carolina for awhile, but
President johnson desires him to return
here st the earliest possible day, snd re-
main here second in command ofthearmies
of the United States.
