The Tines Washington special say. :
Il ought 10 be understood that the recent
proclamation Offering . reward for the SD
prehension Of JEFF Dsvis, as one Of the
parties implicated in the assassination oil
MIR. Lincoln, was not issued By Presi
dent Johnson as his indisidusl act or
merely upon his personal opinion % to
the guilt of Davis. 1t Vas issued in pur-
suance Of the decision Of the proper legal
authorities.
Il was Grst unanimously decided 10
Cabinet meeting that parties in any way
connected with the conspiracy should be
tried by militsry tribunal, add not BY
civil courts. All the testimony relating
10 the matter was then placed officially
in the hands Of the Judge Advocate Geo.
ersl, Holt. who examined il very careful
" and made report to the Secretary OF
War, giving it as his oficial opinion that
the evidence proved Davis to have been
connected with the inception and execu
cution Of the plot. /. vas upon this OF ;
cIal report that the proclamation was
based l. is not to be supposed that any
direct and personal action 10 the matter
can be traced to Davis, but it will b.
Frsved sba, the conspiracy we're framed
and prosecuted with his knowledge and
assent.

A Piea for she Ass...,a.

The organ of the rebels 10 Canada de.
sires that the murderer .uf the late Presi.
dent shall be thoroughly identified with
the cause Of the &C nfsderscy" 1t is
not content, apparently, with having Of
fered justification of the assassin's act:
It seems 10 consider it due to his me mory
to protest against the cold-bloo led man-
ner in which lis death was compassed by
those sent 10 pursuit of him. We do not
know that there is anything in the whole
range Of modern j 'urnslism 10 eq nal the
following. II appeared in the Toronto
Leader of Saturday,:
"The shooting OF Booth was 4 cold
blooded murder--pothipg moro or less
Granted that he was criminal of the
deepest dye, that was no reason Why he
should have been shot down the way he
was. lie was foolish msn, but q brave
ooe. He died like one who loved his
country dearly. according to his idea OF
what noble death was. II ia very evil
dent that the detective gang we're q 10. of
towards, or they would never have had
recourse t) the mems they adopted to
6ni.h up the brief, eveniful history Of q
man who was slrcady half disabled"
It's fitting sequel to this eulogv of
the murderer that the same print r.dicu!es
The indictment e the leading rebels in
Canada for breach Of the netrality laws.
Ga this point it says:
The absurdity of finding true bills
against Messrs Thompson, c ay, and
Cleary. will be evident to every one, when
they come TO know that one Of tn sc gen
tlemen was in Richmood when last heard

& is in proof that the assassinatious

PROMOTION OF CLEvELANDER.-The many
friends of Lieut.. James W. Raymond, will
be pleased to learn of his promotion from
Regimental Quartermaster of the 177th o.
Y. l., to acting Assistant Quartermaster on
Major General Milroy's staff, with the Post
of TuIlahoma, Tenn.
Lieut.. Raymond was, for some months
previous to the breaking out of the rebel
lioU, engaged in the store of Messrs. Ken
dali & Co, but soon after the organization
of the glorious "old Seventh" he resigned
his situstion and entered the ranks as q
private. He participated in all the bloody
battles in which that regiment took part,
both in Virginia and the West. At the a.
sault on Lookout Mountain, while far in
advance, he was severely wounded and
taken prisoner by the enemy, but afterWard
re-ts ken, and ultimately removed to hos
pital in Nashville. Here he was discover
ed by Colonel j. c. crane, Senior and su-
pervising Quartermaster of the Department.
of the Cumberland, who kindly offered
him 6 position in his Office. On the organi-
zation of the I77th, ,hewss made Quartermas-
ter of that regiment, and no man ever filed
that most difficult of all positions with
greater credit to himself, or more general
satisfaction to both officers and men. Alter
Lieut.. Raymond was selected by General
Milroy to act in the capacity above stated,
and we are pleased to Learn that Lis un-
swerviDg integrity and mastery ability
have attracted the attention of This superiOrs,
and that still higher promotion will speedi-
ly iolioW. Success attend him, for there
are none moro deserving.

EDITOR LEADER With pleasure I find
the name of Major George Arnold suggest
ed as a candidate for Clerk of the Police
Court When the rebellion broke out Major
Arnold promptly organized company of
volunteers and served as Captain in the
famous Gath Ohio until the second day Of
the bloody and terrible battle of Shiloh, ,
when he was shot through the body by &
rebel bullet. As soon as he had partislly
recovered, he again took the field as Major
of the 107th Ohio, and served during the
campaign of Virginia and in South Caro-
lima. At last his wounds and consequent
physical disability caused him to come
home.
The Msjor is good penman and account
ant. The Union Convention ought to take
pride in proposing his nsme to our people,
and no doubt our citizens will cheerfuly
ratify the action of their delegates, aud will
not forget the services of the brave and
gallant old veteran, and will give him the
position his circumstances compel him to
request. ONE OF TIE OLD SEVENTH.
