President johnson, in offering g reward
for the arrest of Jefferson Dav s, regards
that illustrious scoundrel simply as an sc.
complice in the murder of the President
That he should be arrested and held to
trial for this crime is most certain, buteven
this deep and damniug crims is not the one
for which he will be held most guilty either
By the American people or by history. An
accomplice and instigster of the murder of
President Lincoln ne undoubtedly WAS;
bat he was the principal in deeper vii
lAiny-the attempted murder Of the Amer
icsn republic, which is dearer to every cit
izsn than the life of an individual Re-
gsrding Jefferson Davis as g murderer, it
is well to offer rewards for his capture; re-
gsr5ing him SIS traitor it is ten fold more
appropriate to bring him to justice. Now
let President johnson offer a reward of
five hundred thousand dollars fOrthe arrest
of jefferson Davis as the great conspira-
tor against the Union. This will be sde-
quate to the nature Of the case, it will in
clude the monstrOus crime in all its bear
ings, and it Will be sufficient to secure the
arrest of the grest criminal.

Surrender Of the Rebel Secretary of
the Navy.


Surrender Of the Rebel Secretary Of
the Navy.
Stephen R. Mallory, before the outbreak
of the war United States Senator from
Florida, and of late the rebel Secretary Of
the Navy, has surrendered to our forces.
He has been a most virulent traitor, and
has been more directly concerned than al =
other leading rebel in organizing and di-
recting the system of piracy which has
been carried on by the StoneWall, the Shen-
sndoah, the Alabama, the Tallahassee and
similar craft. Now that nearly the whole
HConfederate" navy has been captured or
sunk, his occupation, like OIhellO's, is gone,
and it il quite appropriate that he should
surrender. He is the first of the rebel
Cabinet who has fallen into our possession.
There yet remain ]. Q. Breckinridge, Sec
rssary of War; J. P. Benjamin, Secretary
of State; J. l.. Trenholm, Secretary of the
Treasury; George Davis, Attorney Ge1er-
al; and ]. H. Reagan, Postmaster General.
It is presumed the remainder are with
Davis in his hiding-plsce, and it is to be
hoped that al may be captured together
We hope that no false motives of Christian
charity will induce the authorities in Flor
ida 10 so commit themselves as to interfere
with Justice when the time for its admins
trstion arrives.

AT CLEVELAND, RUSSELBS FOR
EST CITY HOUSE,
from MONDAY, May 18th, until SAT-
UBDAY, May goth.

DR.. c. B. LIGHTHILL s first visit to
Ohio was induced by numerous applica-
tions for treatment from parties unable to
visit Now York for that purpose, and who
can not be successfully treated except alter
q personal examination. His practice has
been sosuccessful that he has repeated his
visits to Cleveland several times. Still he
finds that it is almost as difficult for some
parties desiring his service, to visit him at
Cleveland, that in compliance with the re-
qests of many citizens, he has consented,
before returning TO Europe, to visit several
central points in Northern Ohio, making
Cleveland his headquarters go that ali who
desire can consult him.
For tho past twelve years DR.. Lighthill
has paid exclusive attention TO the treat
ment of deafness and catsrrh in its vsri-
Gus forms. He has prscticed in New York,
and other principal Eastern cities, where,
until a few months past, he was associated
with his cousin, DIR. Z. B. Lighthill, and,
together, they have acquired standing
which has earned for the "Lighthill In
stitute' its present great reputation.

DR.. LIGHTHuL-DeaT Sir: Allow me
to express my grateful thanks for tho skill
and kind attention rendered to my dsugh-
ter, whose ears have been badly affected
for many years, and for some months past
has been nearly deprived of hearing. The
loss of this important sense IS certainly
sad deprivation, painfully embarrassing,
and to degree known only to those who
have experienced it. II, therefore, there

of humanity obviously requires that it
should be universally disseminated. I feel
it my duty, therefore, and it affords me
much pleasure, to give my testimony 70 the
happy effects of your treatment and rene
dies. My daughter has suffered from deaf
ness since early childhood. The left ear
has been badly diseased. The right ear,
also, for several years, was seriously affect
ed, and the disease apparently increasing,
threatening the entire loss of her hearing.
Il was with extreme difficulty that she
could participate in theconversstion of her
friends, and for two years has been deprived
of this source of social enjoyment. Hap
pily my attention was directed to your ad-
vertisement, and was induced to place
her in your care. Your treatment, under
favor of kind Providence, has been sue
cessful. Her hearing, SO far as can judge,
appears to be perfectly restored. Whether
this restoration is permanent is question
time alone can determine but present re-
suits are certsinly very gratifying.
sm, dear sir,
Truly and gratefully yours

to Booth the route of escape and made

this isolated part of Maryland, ignorant

We briefly mentioned yesterday the death Of
Colonel JAMES W. STEWART. This estimable
man and brave soldier departed this life at
Terre Ilaute last sunday, and the announce
ment Of his death cast deep gloom over large
circle OF friends and acquaintance in this city,
where he was so well known and beloved.
Cut of in the prime of manhood. with all the
surroundings which make life happy--affec-
Tomato relatives. wam-hearted and devoted
friends, admiring acquaintance, and reputa-
ton for kindness aud honesty ofpurpose wide
spread as dcserved-Our h0nOred and true
friend seemed to have bright future before
him. But death loves shining mark, and
JAMES W. STEWART is now numbered with
the dead; but his memory will ever be green
in the hearts Of the many who mourn his
demise.
WheE he war broke out, JAMES W. STEWART
raised a cavalry company, and was elected
Captain, the company forming part Of the
Second Regiment, Of which his brother BoBERI
was Major lie was speedily promoted distin-
guished himself in many conflicts, and at the
close Of tn rebellion commanded the regiment.
After being mustered out, he embarked in the
hotel business, in which he was engaged prior
70 entering the service-in connection with his
brother keeping the welI-known stewart House
Of Terre Haute. He purchased the Buutin
House, and changed it, name % stewart, and
81 the time OF his dcceaSe vas is popular host.
While in the service. tol. STEWART contracted
a chronic diarrh0ea. from which he never re-
covered. and finally fen victim. His funeral
was one Of the largest that ever took place in
Terre Haute. Take him all in all. he was
noble man. Peace 10 his ashes.

rI7-The New York Tribune thus rebukes
the cry of lis party for blood, the blood of Da-
Wis:
No, gentlemen! the commonwealth of the
North did not breathe slaughter when they
spoke at the ballot box. How weary we are
Of death-doing. How perfectly hateful this
gallows appears shad0wing the foreground Of
the brightest future America has ever seen.
How revolving TO be told that this gallows is
10 be the only response TO the loyalty of Amer
lea!
How sad the present gallows-scandals will ap-
pear to our children rs they turn over the
leaves Of living history, and find the greatest
achievements of Christendom side by side
with the squabblng of police detectives over n
condemned, helpless criminal, and Chinese
tricks with the bodies Of dead men. In an
humble way, we did our share toward winning
New York. We know something of the feel
ing that actuated our thirty thousand Union
majority. The majority demanded in a spirit
of love and charity, that America should not
attempt to consummate the trumphs of war
without doing justice to four millions of men
who aided in prosecuting that war. Ii de-
manded the perfect acquiescence of the south
in the results of the war.
Ii insisted that the Southern rebels should
feel that they were conquered-conquered ab
solutely and forever-and that with their con-
quest every Nestige of slavery, and serfdom.
and peonage, should pass away. As for poor
JEFF Davis, keep him in Jail or send him to Eu-
rope, or back TO his old plantation, TO live on
the charities Of his recent slaves His own fu-
ture is sad enough. The one thing TO brighten
and dignity il would be a martyrs crown.
The highest ambition he can have in the world
is the opportunity of leaving il with the digni-
ty that he Of all men could show upon the
scafiold. We are surprised that our butterfly
politicians do not know this-that they will
not see in these magnificent manifestations of
popular will something more than the mere
earth-grOyeling which regards success as per-
sonal profit, and the triumph of majorities the
coarse gains of a gamblers table

Extra Session.

While over in Richmond the other day, we
learned the views there entertained THE reason
Of the call OF the extra session. Ii seems 70 be
understood in the Burnt District that the ses-
sion was called 70 re-district the State for Con-
gressmen, with a view 10 have JCLIAN's Dis
uiet changed By putting Randolph on u the

A Personal Collision at Richmond,
unAiann

Yesterday after Don, about five o'clock w lille
Hon. Geo. W. Julian was waiting i'm the lady's
room Of the depot at Richmond, Ind. he was
approached by Sol. Meredith, Esq, who, after
speaking n few words, struck him Julian and
partially Knocked him down. Meredith then
drew a cowhide from under his coat and pro-
ceeded TO apply il TO Mr.. Julian, continuing
until oy-st nders interfered. The immediate
cause Of the difficulty we have not learned.
The remote cause is. we suppose, political
jealousy. Mr.. Meredith was lately a candidate
in the district for n nomination to Congress.
but was defeated by Mr.. Julian. which. we
suppose, was in accordance with the wishes of
the people, and it is not probable that the
knock down argument which Mr.. Meredith
has tried will be effective IN changing the views
Of the majority who exercise the elective fran
chise in that locality Cincinnati Gazette.
We We're to-day informed by leading Re-
publican, who represents himself rs having an
exact knowledge Of the facts, that MEREDITH
struck JULIAN over the head from behind
knocking him down, and then got upon him;
that JULIAN raised with him. and would have
turned him, when MEREDITH's friends rushed
in, and JULIAN was violently thrown upon the
floor, striking his head so as TO become almost
insensible, when MEREDITH seized him by the
throat and used the eowhide.

ChiefIuAfice Chnac.

Chief Justice CHASE has decided that the In
terest accruing on railway bonds held by aliens
is not liable 10 Federal or State taxation. This
decision may be right, but the public will not
regard it as any evidence that it is so because
made by Chief Justice CHASE. The fact that
he has often declared that the Constitution
Of the United States did not bind him, and
that he as far as we can learn, holds 10 the doc
trine OF the absolutsm of administration held
by SEWARD, STANTON & Co., without regard
to Constitution or law, leave his judicial decis-
ions as determInative Of the particular case,
but receiving no respect as being founded on
any right principle. Indeed, it would seem
throughout the country. that, yielding to the
lawlessness Of the times, the jul
dietary, including judges and juries, had
become a mere political engine in the hands
Of Executives and party leaders, TO prosecute
political opponents. The people now so look
upon judicial tribunals, and hence, while they
submit to, they have no respect for, their de-
cisiOns. For example, what does the divine
Republican leader, LozIER, say as to our pre-
sent Supreme Court The late Judge WHITE
went on 10 the bench an honest man. A citi-
zen was lawlessly convicted in his court, by a
jury, we won't say packed one, but II Judge
WHITE was right, it must have been wick
edly partizan. We believe Col ROSE to
be gentleman. Judge WHITE was asked to
set aside the verdict against the man. lie de-
livered a written opinion, admitting there was
no evidence against him, but, acting on the
fable Of the flies, he said il was useless to set
aside the verdict, because IL would lead to his
being tried again, probably by worse jury,
and he had better get of as best he could.
such is judicial administration by Repub-
lican tribunals. To what respect are they en-
titledg Judge MCDONALD will not act thus
nor, as we fervently hope, will the Supreme
Court. We can't rely on LozTER in the mat
tor
