The Disgrace of Tennessee.

His offense is aggravated by the fact that the murdered man was his political opponent and the pardoned man one of his chief political sup porters. The governor was himself one of the chief witnesses for the de- fense at the trial. It would be hard to find a srosser instance of the abuse of the pardoning power in America, or nearer approach to the spirit of those Russian officials who extend their protection to the Black Hundred for murder and pillage in their sup posed political interest. The con- viction of Col. Cooper and his son was a credit to the administration of justice in Tennessee. There was no serious dispute over the facts, but political passions were deeply involved. The jury rose above partisan preju- dice: the governor has yielded to it. The people of Tennessee will soon have opportunity to decide whether they consider him 8 worthy representative Of the honor and dignity of their state. That personal issue should overshadoW every question of mere political or partisan expediency at the coming election.
