This and oth.ar rewards were actually mm hv the Federal aut nor lues, ine uvriv Tucker mentioned as one of those whose heads were worth 226,000 each to the captor was the father of Bishop Beverly D. Tucker, so long rector of 6L Paul's Episcopal church in Norfolk. The reference in the Her- aid's headlines to "the mysterious vmants of Tucker' is supremely I lr, ridiculous. The whole paper, which is filled with Invective so bitter that we should not care to reprint It, is evi dence of tha fearful pitch to which the North was worked up by 'the act of he madman who ' killed presioent Lincoln.
