The Tennessee Legislature has created

any authority under the Constitution, the
pardoning power being lodged exclusively
in the Governor Of the State. The duties

The Tennessee law seems to be Of the
same character as the West Virginia law;
but in the former State the members
OF the board are asked TO serve without
pay. while in the latter they receive 81

total Of the appropriation is only 500.
We like the West Virginia law better than
that of Tennessee. The work if well
done. will be laborious and exacting, and
some compensation should be made to the
