GovRRYoR BRowS, in his proclama-
ton committing the death sentence Of
Early j. Eason, says:
Whereas, The said Early j. Eason
has been recommended to me for execu-
tive clemency; and being satisfied from
a full investigation OF all the facts con-
nected with said murder, that there we're
mitigating circumstances attending 1t,
and for other good and sufficient reasons.
The mitigating circumstances were
not discovered by the jury Of our Crimi-
nal Court, who heard the case, nor by
the Supreme Court, in the record sent
up. Indeed, the Supreme Court said
that the case was destitute of all miti-
eating circumstances. How Governor
Brown finds that which the High Court
of the State failed to discover will ever
remain a mystery-one Of those things
that no fellah Except Governor Brown
can find out.

THE Avalanche of yesterday, in an
editorial on the Ohio Liberal movement
states that, "In Tennessee ex-President
johnson has gone farther than the bold
est of the old school. He has lost his
faith in the Democratic party. But ne
is brave enough to say that he will do all
he can to build up something stronger
and better" Yes, he has gone farther
and done less than any. His lost
faith in the Democratic party was dis
covered sometime after the party had
lost faith in him. And as to his build.
ing up something stronger and better, 1t
cannot be done in Tennessee, unless it is
called the Al. party, which would have
q corporals guard Of followers and an
immense host Of repudiators. The thing
called Johnsonism must be driven ont of
Tennessee politics ere it becomes pure
and Gil powerful for good.

INNOCENT MAP-MAKING.

The unnatural opposition Of tn
Memphis press is what it is now calle'
by the advocates of the new State move
ment. The Louisville Courier journal
says:
But when il comes 10 taking nineteen
or twenty counties from Tennessee the
proposition is certainly a cool one.
Where is the evidence that any oil these
counties desire 1t. or that the act OF
disruption would be acceptable TO
the remainder Of the Slater mat
il would be acceptable to either
is almost inconceivable. Our own
State is not called on for quite so
large a quota. We are kindly told that
we need surrender only seven counties
Ballard, MeCracken, Marshall, HEX
man. Graves. Galloway and Fulton. The
anpropriation Of these counties rs
snokan of AS if it we're as easy aud every
dag affair as the pillaging of a hen
roost by Fifteenth amendment: Inc
seven counties named are to yield TO the
first uncouth wooing of the sultor, and
turn their backs on their old State Tor
ever We ask again, where is the evil
dence that any large part of the people
of these counties wish to exchange the
name Kentuckian Tor some new-fangled
titls and different egis from that which
has fostered and cherished them in the
psst2
Who desires to give up the proud title
Of Tennesseean and be called Jack
sonian, Chckasawer or Nashobianf
There may be nothing in name, be-
cause that which we call rose by any
other name would smell as sweet" but
we doubt not that the above would be
considered sweet-scented names for Ten
nesseeans TO adopt. The West Tennes-
seeans have an attachment for their
State, q pride in its glorious history, as
sociations and traditions Of olden times,
and all this is but another name for pa
triotism. Barkis isn't willing.
