The Chief Criminal.

Our readers will be glad to see the proc
lamation of President johnson on our
first page, in which, after asserting that
the government is in possession of evidence
duplicating jeff. Davis in the conspiracy
to murder President Lincoln, he offers a
reward Of 100000 for his apprehension.
Smaller rewards are also offered for lesser
villains. 1t is stated that President john
son did not act upon bis own personal
opinion of the guilt of Davis and the rest
in offering rewards for them, but upon the
written report of Advocate General Holt,
who had all the testimony before him.
The prospect of catching Davis is now
reckoned as good. May 4th he was re-
ported at Washington, Ga, from which
place he suddenly left on the approach of
Stoneman. Another report states that he
has abandoned his escort and taken to the
mountains. We hope to be able to an
nounce his capture next week

The High Rebel Criminals.

The proclamation of the President, Of
fcring high rewards for the arrest of jeff
Davis and other leading rebels for being
concerned in the late Washington tragedy,
gives new turn to the affair We never
doubted that jeff. Davis was bad enough
TO incite that or any other crime which
he thought to be promotive of his own
interests. The man who made repudia-
ton his stepping-stone into public life,
who, with his cool temperament was vet
the leader in the work of treason, who
sanctioned the Fort Pillow massacre and
deliberately sustained the slow murder of
thousands of our prisoners, might well be
deemed capable of any act of atrocity
that promised to be profitable.
But we could not see how. with his
admitted intclli gence and his experience
Of the war thus far, he could bring HIM
self to believe that the assassination of
President Lincoln and other chief officers
of the government would promote the in
tcrcstS of the rebellion But it is possible
that, having been astray and perverted op
that whole subject, a sound Judgment on
any Of It's details is hardly to have been
expected of such man If. for instance.
he thought, as he appears to have thought,
that the diabolical treatment of our pris-
onerS was expedient and advisable in the
interests of the rebellion, why should he
not have melted the Washington assassi-
nations for the same purpose! 1t was
probably the last desperate attempt of the
rebellion. intended to deprive the govern
ment of all its leading officers, civil and
military, at one blow, and to result in a
CONSERVATION and paralysis to the loyal
cause which would give the South one
more opportunity to retrieve its fading
fortunes.
The evidence which has led the Presi-
dent to issue this proclamation must be OF
conclusive character With regard tc
such manifest villains as George \. San,
derS and other of his confederateS in Can
da, the alleged criminality is very proba-
bic But we trust that one or more viii
be caught and brought to trial, that JUS
tice may be done, and the whole matter
may come under oath. And if it should
he only one, we wish, of course, it migh
be jeff: Davis, rs he needs justice NOR,
than any other man in the country, anc
the stern application of it would be of tn,
greatest national benefit. But if he es
capes ultimately, this discovery puts thu
final touch upon his infamous character
Regulator, traitor, theft, murdcrer-sucl
is the tour-told brand upon his forehead
with which he must wander upon tn,
earth for the remainder of his days

ed with the recent assassination Of United
States soldiers, for some time Fast station
ed in that county. While at the office Of
COL Wooley, provost marshal Cochrane
acknowledged to him and others that for
several months past he Fad been in a
starving condition, which being known TO
Browne and others, ne was offered large
sums OF money. If he would take the lives
of certain soldiers. lie accepted the ter
rlble bride. and deliberately assassinated
two soldiers whilst they were doing pick
ct duty.
If Davis is taken he will be arraigned
and tried with the assassins at Washing
tor for completely in the great crime.
Indeed, he will be tied in fact, whether
present or not.
n The military commission for the trial of
the assassins, as organized by the secreta-
ry OF war, has Maj. Gen. Hunter for pres
ident, and Judge Advocate Holt will have
the assistance of Judge John A. Bingham
of Ohio and Mayor Burnct in managing
the case for the government, or rather for
the war department.
The court for the trial of the conspira-
tors concerned in the assassinations con-
vened Tuesday to arrange the rules and
mode of proceeding for the court. 1t. is
not yet determined whether the proceed
ings will be made public as the trial pro-

OUR HONORED DEAD.
The Final Funeral Obsequies.
TIE HERO LAID IN A HERDS GRAVE

TIE HERO LAID IN A HERDS GRAVE.
The last funeral offices over the late
presidents remains were performed Thurs
day at Springfield, ILL.,, thousands of PEG
pie from Illinois and other states partici-
pating Delegations from St. Louis and
other important western cities were pres
ent, and very many civil and military
officials were among the mourners. Capt
Robert Lincoln reached Springfield, We'd
nesday night
About noon on Thursday the remains
of Mr.. Lincoln were taken from the state
house and placed in the hearse. The ap-
pearance of the remains has changed very
much since they left Washington. The
funeral procession was under the charge
of Maj. Gen. Hooker as marshal in chief,
and Brig. Gems. Cook and Oaks. The
military and tiremen appeared finely. The
guard of honor was the same as during
the entire route. The procession was a
very long one, and included the governors
of seven states, members of Congress,
state and municipal authorities, delega-
lions from adjoining states, Free Masons,
Odd Fellows and citizens, including col
ored citizens. The procession arrived at
Ridge cemetery at l o'clock. On the
left of the vault, in which the remains of
the president and his son Willie were de-
posted Immediately on their arrival, was
a platform on which singers and an in
strumental band united in singing appro-
pirate music: on the right was the speak
er's stand.
The vault is at the foot of knoll in a
beautiful part of the grounds. which con-
tains the finest trees of all varieties. The
vault has Doric gable resting on pilas-
tiers, the main wall being rustic The
vault is fifteen feet high and about the
same in width, with semi-circular wings
of brick projecting from the hillsides.
The material of the vault is limestone
procured at Joliet, Ill. Directly inside
the ponderous doors is an iron grating.
The interior walls are covered with black
velvet dotted with evergreens. In the
centre of the velvet is foundation of
brick. capped with marble slab on which
the coffin rests. The front of the vault Is
trimmed with evergreens. The Dead
March i'll Saul was sung, accompanied by
the band, as the remains were deposited.
Thousands of persons were assembled at
the cemetery before the arrival of the pro-
ceSsion.
The religious exercises were commenced
by singing a dirge, then followed the read
ING of appropriate portions of scripture
and PRAYER. After hymn by the choir
Rev Mr.. Hubbard read the last inaugural
of President Lincoln. Another dirge was
then sung by the choir. and Bishop Simp-
son delivered the funeral Grafton. which
was in the highest degree eloquent and
patriotic and some portions were applaud
cd. Then followed another hymn. when
the benediction was pronounced by Rev.
DIR. Gurley. the Washington pastor of the
late president. The Procession then re-
formed and returned TO the city

Late NelCS.

Official news of the surrender of Gen.
Dick Taylor's forces in Alabama and
Mississippi to Gen. Candy has been re-
ceived at Washington. There are now
no organized rebel forces east of the Miss
issippi, and a complete surrender of Kirby
Smiths troops ON the west side is expect
ed at once.
President johnson has issued a procla-
nation, directing all naval, military and
civil officers to endeavor by all lawful
means to catch the rebel cruisers now
afloat and bring them into the ports of the
United States so that those on board them
may be punished for their crimes. He
also says that if, after the lapse of a rea-
sonable time, these cruisers shall continue
to receive hospitable treatment in the
ports of governments protesting to he neu-
trail toward the United States, our GOV
eminent will refuse hospitality to the YES
sells of such governments in our ports and
will, perhaps, take further measures for
the vindication of our national sovereienty
On Wednesday a general delivery of all
political prisoners in Fort McHenry, Bal
timore, took place by order of the Presi-
dent. Prisoners Of war and guerrillas
were also set at liberty. They numbered
altogether about one hundred and fifty.
Out of eight thousand rebel prisoners,
rank and file, confined in Fort Delaware.
all but three men have taken the oath of
allegiance. Nearly all the officers confn-
ed there, numbering about two thousand,
have also renewed their allegiance to the
United States.

COMMISSIONER OULD. 1t now appears
that Ould, the rebel commissioner for the
exchange of prisoners, was arrested on the
charge of having appropriated 100000
entrusted to him for the relief of Federal
prisoners held at the South. This Ould,
in letter written to his fellow tiend
Winder, March II, 1868, said: "The
arrangements have made flor exchang-
ing pl1soners) works largely in our favor.
We get rid ola set Of miserable ,cretches,
and receive some of the best material ev-
er saw" 1t is no wonder that such a
brute should turn out thief.

a. 1t appears that the reward offered
for the apprehension of JEFF: Davis was IS
sued by the President only on the decis-
ion of the proper legal authority. All the
testimony in the matter was placed Off
cially in the hands of Advocate General
Holt, who examined it very carefully and
reported upon it to the Secretary of War.
giving it as his legal opinion, that it prov
ed Davis to have been connected with the
inception and execution of the plot against
President Lincoln's life, and that the con-
spiracy was framed and executed with
his consent.
