Gov COCHRAN has been misrepresen-
led by the Press outside our State; and
several of the newspapers in the State
nave assisted in this work. His PROPOSE
tion to the Committee that visited him,
which we published on Saturday, ought
20 have satisfied any fair minded man.
But there are those who wish to com.
plain and will not listen to facts. They
will MOI be satisfied nor do the Governor
justice. They have lulterior views that
push justice and honor from their minds,
and allows injustice TO be printed.
The Philadelphia Press went so far in
an editorial as to say that one of the
Judges urged the Governor to respite the
negroes. This is untrue in every particu-
ar. The Governor was not visited by
either Of our Judges, nor was any such
tequest made bv either of the Judges.
