COMMENTS ON THE REWARD FOR DAVIS.
Commenting en- the reward offered for
Davis and other secompliees in the muir
der of President Lincoln, the Tribune
thinks they are in Canada and will be Sc
cured by tho demand under the Ashburton
Treaty.
The Times says the public will not be
surprised to learn that the murder is to be
brought home to the leading rebels. Booth,
Besl, Kennedy and others were hired in
struments.
The World thinks that offers for Davis
are more consis mt than the others, as they
are now in Canada, and will never come
voluntarily within the United State. If
demand is made for their surrender under
the treaty no reward is needed.
CROPS IN THE SOUTH.
The Tribune says: There is great
danger that the season of vegetation will
pass unimproved and leave large sections
of the South exposed 70 actual famine. It
suggests that the President issue an order
urging the people to plant, and promising
them the fruit of their labor in any event.

THE PLANS FOR THE CAPTURE OF BooTH
The Worlds account of the pursuit o
Booth and Harold, from the night of tn
murder until they crossed the Potomac
states that the military and civil forces SC
gether amounted to quite small army

Atlantic. Three grand pursuits were ol
ganized, one reaching up the north bank {
the Potomac towards Chain Bridge TO PIE
