1t has already been suggested that municipal
authorities oil over the country should offer re-
wards for the arrest Of Booth aud his accom-
|plicos-all such rewards TO be cumulative, and
to be paid in case of an arrest in any part Of the
country. Here in the North perhaps no addl'
;tiivnal incentive % vigilance Is required, but
large sums will be likely to tempt the people OF
the South H. seek and surrender these bloody WI
Ilains-And il is of course somewhere in Southern
TERRITORY, if anywhere in America, that Booth

ment in Washington. Probably JEFF. Davis
might hesitate to give him shelter openly, but
he would facilitate his escape, or cover his re-
treat if possible. Every incident Of the assas-
.ina,ion shows with what care the whole
scheme was elaborated, aid it seems idlc TO
suppose that the arrangements for escape were
not equally complete with those for the murder.
We have never doubted that Booth might
crossin a boat the negligently. guarded Potomac,
and that once on the Virginia shore be would
be hurried away into cremy's territory By
guerriias shulAing near for that purpose. 1t Is
Souihcrrers therefore, loyal. neutral, aud hos
tile, who are to be tempted by great offers into
surrendcripg Booth. We presume the spirit Of
Mr. Stanton's offer wolld include delivery of
the body of the criminal. dead or alive.

We beg our friends athlbeny TO consider that

sooner than they were had our Fire Department
been under thorough control and discipline.
And any day may see a large section Of the City
laid in ashes merely because our Fire Depart
ment is neither one thing nor the other.

worthy citizens for Fire Commissioners, and
the Senate rejected them. Now we AJAX IN
