rhs Capt~rs or seq. D.~as-rn. Master
Murderer fn the Hands OF Justice.
We rejoce with the whole country over the
capture Of the instgator of the atrecious crime
that so lately stirred sxr hearts with horror
Although Booth, the actual perpetrator, the
miserable murderer who delivered the fatal
blow, was not taken alive, and 30 to some ex-
tent escaped the proper punishment Of bis
crime, 1t is satisfactory to feel that Davis, the
master murderer, the wretch who originated
The whole attempt, Is alive In the hands Of JUS
tice, and that there Is not a human possibility
thai he can escape the full penalty of the law.
Tue capture OF Davis consoles us for the un-
timely death Of Booth, by 80 much as the prin-
opal, in moral sense Is Of moro account than
any subordinate. The thanks of tho nation are
Justly due to General Wilson for the admirable
arrangements he must have made to achieve his
great success.
Davis is Of no aoOonnt. except a. an 40
cessory 10 the murder of tho President, nor
is his capture Of any Importance in any other
respeot Politically no is harmless certainly
east Of the mississippi. 1t d barely possible
that his presence In the st1aas-N Mississippi
country might oomplicaie matters there.
Many months befSre the fate Of the rebellion
was as ciear as Il Is now Davis spoke Of the
possibility Of . protracted struggle there, and
his reeeat purpose was TO got iato that district.
tits highly probable, also, that the course just
taken by Kirby Smith was partly in view Of the
possibility that Davis would soon join him. Had
he done 80 It is, we say, possible that new
government might havobeen organized there,
and the world would have seen tho strange
spectacle of State fighting to get out OF
community into which she was taken less than
twenty years ago at her own urgent solicita.
tion, and at the expense Of q war. Texas has
great resources and could supply any army,
and it is In immediate contact with foreign
State, and the least that the continuance Of the
rebellion there might have done would be to
seriously disturb our relations with France.
But all that Is done with now, and Kirby
Smith will presently lay down his arms, as
better and abler men have done, being by this
time, no doubt, fully conscious that he Is Of
very little account as Q leader. The last hope
Of our enemies is gone even for that remote
country. The timely capture Of Davis has made
the destruction Of the rebellion a clean and
clear One
