Henry Cooper.
A Sketch Qyf the Net0 Senator from Ten
HeSSce.

4 Sketch qfthe Neto Senator from Ten
nessee.
The Senator elect, Mr. Cooper is well
known in Tennessee He was born IN
Maury county, 10 that State, during the
early part Of the present. century, aud is
now a man IN the prime of life. he Is a
brother Of Edward Cooper, well known t.
our readers as the Secretary OF President
johnson during his administration. He
moved to Bedford county at an early age,
studied law, aud was admitted 70 the bar
Aiier few years his practice became large,
and he was known as enc Of the ablest law
yers in the Stare.
About the year 1850 Mr.. Cooper married.
and during the same year he first entered
Into political life At this time he Was
elected to the State IegI,la ure by ma
jority of some 5UU 70 es, after most ex-
citing contest. At the next election he was
opposed by he most popular and influential
man IN the county, and his defeat hy seveIat
hundreds was regarded as a matter OF absO
lure certainty. Mr.. Cooper however, en-
tered upon the canvass with great energy
and determination He impaired to his sup
porters piIe sl,,,is Nv. f-,-. se Il ~-1 sl-
result was that, upon the la gest vote ever
polIed 10 Bedford up to thar time, he was
returned to the Legislature by a majority Of
twenty La polItiC, he was Wing, and,
indeed, never has voted Democratic ticket
that we are aware OF. When the rebellion
uroke out he did not he,itaie a moment TO
ay0w his devotion to the UuiUn, aud ul7 un
alterable purpose never 10 give his support
to the secession cause. During the entire
war his course was consistent with his
staunch Umouism, so that he will appear
before the Senate of the United States with
a record as acceptable as that Of Senator
Sumner
Upon ex President johnson being ap-
pointed Governor Of Tennessee, soon after
the fall OF Nashville, he rendered State
Judgeship to Mr. Cooper, who acc pied the
otfsr and served IN that position uuul 1866
when he resigned for the purpose of ac
cepting a chair in the Flculty Of the Cum
0erlsnd University of Lebanon. Several
times during his term he eudeayored to
resign, but Governor Browuluw, aIthough b
aware OF his conservatism, declined TO re-
ceive the resignation In Que OF his
messages to the Legislature Brownlow re
ierred to .Ju1ge Cooper 10 the highest
terms Of praise, expressing his earnest re-
gre that the State Judiciary should be de-
prived Of so pure and upright a member
At the recent election in Tennessee Mr.,
Couper was the Conservative nominee for
tie State Senate from the Eighteenth dis
trict Of Tennessee, and was elected by a
large majority.
