MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.


Th, governor has pardoned W. A
Howard, Harrison county, forgery, SEN
fenced to two years Imprisonment.
Howard's case is a novel one, ne having
never been placed in the penltentiary.
He was convicted aud sentenced, out
appealed to the supreme court and was
pardoned while the appeal was penu-
ing. This is the first pardon pending
appeal granted under the new constltu-
ton, which forbids il express terms the
granting of pardons before conVic-
ton" as was permitted under the old
constitution. This case therefore raises
an unique question as to whether a
prisoner is convicted" in the meaning
of the constitution, while his cause IS
pending for final determination In the
supreme court But even admitting
that the pardon might be unconstlta'
tional, there is further and still more
curious question or complication wh1en
arises. Our supreme court has held
that violation OF the constitution can
only be pleaded by the party WHOSE
rights are affected thereby. In this
case the prisoner being the party whoi'
"riphts are affected" will hardly ask II
have the pardon annulled. That oelni
the case the only course open to tn
district attorney, if he still desired t
pursue the matter, would be to hav
the party re-arrested. The prisone
would then sue out a writ of habea
corpus and set up his pardon. Thes'
complicated questions could have beer
avoided had the prisoner first dismissed
his appeal, thereby making his convl'
tion complete.
