How Judge Cothren
would decide on the
Soldiers Suffrage law
we cannot tell. His
sympathies are decid-
edly in favor of the SOL
diers as fellow citizens
whose rights ought to
be protected. In this
matter he might not be
a partisan though his
bitterness toward the
war might carry with
it his judgment. He
would doubt ess sustain
the law giving $500
per month to volun-
teers' families. He has
a profounler sense of
natural justice than has
Dixon who never goes
beyond The letter of the
law. Cothren may not,
probably is rot, so well
read a lawyef and Judge
as Dixon ; his habits
are such as to destroy
his usefulness in this
respect. A sympathi-
ser with human nature,
with usual democratic
limitations, he would
be on the side of the
people, unless party
pressure were too
strong. Low cunning
and demagoguery DO
not belong natura lily to
.Cothren, but have been
cultivated from party
necessity.
