DAVIS CAPTURE.-TheN New York Times
says; twill be recollected that large
sums of money were offered for the de-
lection and arrest OF those engaged in
the assassination OF President f4incoln,
and subsequently, for the capture OF
Jet. Davis. Both matters were accom-
plished, and the money for the! arrest
of Davis was not long since all paid
over to General Wilson and his party.
Owing to the large number engage In
hunting down Booth and his associates.
It was more difhcnltto tell to whom the
reward was due. The Secretary OF War
consequently appointed acommittee to

WAITING FOR THE BRIDE.

Two O'clock and the balloon seemed
to be rapidly filling, and yet no bride
or bridegroom made their appearances.
People walked about and viewed the
balloon from every possible point; they
also visited the black bear up in the
rocks, who was very fat and quite soci-
able. In fact; those present %hiled
away the time as best they could, until
quiries, that every thing was favorable;
that the day was calm, the wind did

ARRIVAL OF THB WEDDING PARTY.
Meanwhile the hallOon steadily, though
imperceptibly fills, the elasticity is
more apparent, and the time fixed for
the departure is long past. Suddenly a
stir is observable, and In a minute the
large gate at the rear OF the enclosure
opens, and two covered carriages drive
In. These vehicles arequickly snrround-
ed by the people in the ground, while
those in the balconies above become
agitated and nervously excited. In a
very short time the carriages approach
the platform and the bridal party alipht,
The bridegroom is tall, well featured
man, and his bride is fully as good
looking as rumor said she was. She
appeared a little Hurried, but evidently
determined not to withdraw Mt the last
stage of the proceedings. The bridal
pal e were accompanied by the Profess
sor's family and friends, all looking
we'll, and no more flurried than the cir
would seem to warrant,
1t was part of the programme that
the marriage ceremony should be per-
formed on the plat form Just previous TO
the start. But this part was CHANGED.
The couple were quietly married in one
of the parlors Of the Fffth Avenue HoteIl
before leaving for the balloon. To some
this was disappointment, but the ma
Jortty voted 1t "all right" A marriage

At an early hour yesterday morning
the process of initiating the mammoth
balloon "United Staiespa was conn
menced, and it continued in slow pro-
gress for several hours. The time fixed
for the start was two p. M, but the want
prevented punctuality. AS the hour
drew near for the balloon to ascend,
great crowds began to assemble in the
vicinity of the seronautic enclosure,

houses were covered with impatient
spectators, and the slight eminences
throughout that portion Of Central Park
were black with visitors, all DESTROYS of

was occupied long before the appointed
time-tke majority of those present be-

Before we go into the details of this
wedding in ciondland, let MS see how
the afalf came TO be arrauged. That 1t
was not the result of love of romance
or notoriety can be readily learned by
the correspondence passing between
! Professor Lowe and the Would-be Benz

ly from the latter, and the affair cannot
therefore be considered mere adveFtis-
ing scheme, as It might reasonably
enough have been characterized, II Pro-
fessor Lowe had been its PROTECTOR
CideIft7l ~ sQn govt, The notion can only
be termed strange freak on the part Of
the bridegroom, which was acuuiesced
in by his complainant bride. The lady
was at first strongly opposed to the mo-
tortetyi tnseparabie from the affair.
AFTER considerable correspondence
between the contracting parties the
negotiation was Completed. and then
Prof Lowe set about making the neces-
Sary arrangements. The first thing re-
quisite was a suitable car, and he forth
with ordered one oft largest wicker
balloon cars eyer constructed in this
country, capable of seating six persons
comfortably. This car WRsmostsuperb-

Brussels carpet, damask cushions, lace
curtains, and a blue silk canopy, max

The SUFFRAGE COYrRovERsY.-The actor
Of the Vermont republican state convention OF
negro suffrage recalls the old Joke Of .'persuad
ing with pitchfork.' One resolution res
pectfuly and earnestly counsels'' the reorgan.
hing states to give TO all citizens equality Of
rights and the next insists that If any of thess
states fail TO act on this fraternal counsel Con-
gress shall compel them TO do II How Congress
can require better republican governments Of
the southern than the northern states. our Yer
mont friends do not undertake TO tell.
So says the Springfield Republican, And
again it..says:
This from the NeFburyport Herald,is a poser:
1--WE think that Senator Sumner will not move
to bar out the senators Of Ohio, If that state
should adhere to the negro-prohibitation and
if be don't do it for Ohio. how can he for Louisi-
ana?''
We do not see why any one need be posed
by the Republican's"pOsers. The Southern
states rebclled, withdrew their representa-
tivcs from Congress, and did their utmost to
destroy the Government. To maintain that
Government can require no more or different
conditions, before granting the request Of
these whipped rebels for full restoration 10
their old positions In Congress and the Un-
ion than it requires of states which have new

the height of absurdity AS well maintain that
the civil authority has no right to require

be, required of the pea'eable citizen who |

The Faneuil Hall Address.

Our readers will remember that the Fam
Gull Hall meeting of June 2lst, appointed a
committee to draw up an address to the Peo-
pie of the United States That address now
appears. z We give it place in our
columns to day-and we earnestly rec
ommend its careful and repeated perusal by
all. 1t is document OF great importance,
and one which must have great influence on
the minds of candid and intelligent readers.
Its positions and arguments are not of
character to be thrust aside from public re-
gard by few petulant or sneering para
graphs. OF to be overborne bv the pcrversions
OF partizan denunciatlons. lite language is
also as clear and dispassionate as could be
desired
PROFESSIONALLY there Is danger from an
impatient spirit in the people, from an ca
gerness to get our entire political system in
to full and complete working order as quick
ly as possible. We have strOngliaith. how
ever, that the Providence of God, which has
been so signally shown in giving the nation
victory over an armed rebellion OF a magni.
tude and power far beyond what wa even
seen in the world before. will not leave "
now TO commit the insane folly Of giving
away to the imIlcable enemies of the free
PRINCIPLES which underlie our American in
stItutiJns, the fruits of a victory which has
cost Us 50 much blood and treasure.
We have no hope that every evil principl,
and wicked practice, viii he rooted out it,
one year, or f,oepfy years. The seeds sown
by the poison tree Of slavery during two
hundred years, will not all he DESTROYED at
once They will start into life, and tn,
sprouts will need to be crubbed mp as the,
shoot, for long time to come But We can.
not believe that the death of the tree is t,
prove only nominal one. through the
short-sightedness and selfish desire of pres
ent case on the part of the heartily loyal
and patriotic portion of the American
people.
The Faneuil Hall address will have a
great effect IN inducing calm reflection, and
in strengthening the resolution and frmness
IN the right direction. of all who love their
country and equal rights for all men.
