with the police fifteen years..
The Brooks case was resumed this
morning. Mr.. Brooks testified to the
fact of the assault He recognized
Morrow as being in Keenan's store
previous to the assault, and believed
James Dougherty to be the man he
saw struggling to get into the ear
riaee at the door when he reached it
in pursuit of his assailants. On ac-
count of the disappearance of wit
ness for the prosecution, the Court
adjourned till to- morrow. Judge Lud-
low invited the efforts of the United
States authorities and the State and
city officers to endeaVor to find this
witness, and said he would exhaust
the power of the Court IN the search,
and If the witness was in New Jersey
he would request the Governor Of
that State to deliver him to the Court.

NASHVILLE, Oct. 22.-The election

but Johnsou's most ardent friends.
Probably better selection could not
have been made. Mr.. Cooper is one
of the ablest lawyers in Tennessee.
He was one of the military Governors,
and Johnson's appointee to the JH-
dietary. and was commended for his
integrity, as an officer. by Gov. Brown
low, In a message to the Legislature.
He gave the decision In the Sher-
brooke Ridley case, now pending in
the u s. Supreme Court, that our
franchise law is unconstitutional. In
retiring from the Bench be became
a Professor in the Lebanon Law
School. Resigning that position, he
removed to Nashville, and is now
Senator from Davidson. To show
the estimation In which he is held By
all parties, it may be noted that all
the Radicals, with one exception,
voted for him. The election throws
the last shovel of earth on reputation
In Tennessee.
