Murder Made No Crime.

The pardoning of Col. Duncan b.
Cooper by Governor Patterson, Of Ten
nessee, was an inexcusabIe abuse OF
power. BY the indecent haste of his
act he seemed eager to manifest his ut
ter contempt for the Supreme Court OF
the State and all the established pro-
cesses OF justice.
What are the courts for, why should
iuries weigh the evidence and render
verdicts, why should supreme court
review eases on appeal, what use are
laws against murder, il governor, up
on his own motion, almost at the min
ute that convicted murderer's guilt is
confirmed, shall proclaim his innocence
and turn him loose?
With wave Of the hand Governor
Patterson dismissed every consideration
except his personal bias. Courts, iu-
ries, laws, counted for absolutely moth
ing with him. One of his political
friends had been convicted Of murder
and sentenced to serve twenty years in
Jail. He had exhausted every legal
means to escape punishment. Govern
or Patterson had the power to pardon
him and the effrontery to use it.
This is the most damning circum-
stance in the whole case against Gov
ernor Patterson. Senator Carmack was
his bitter political enemy. His friend
Cooper murdered his enemy Carmack.
BY the grace of Patterson, Cooper, gull
ty and convicted, is set free with an un-
qualified certificate OF character bearing
the seal Of the governor of Tennessee.
II, as Theodore Parker said Of Rufus
Jhoate, thieves and murderers before
hey committed their crimes inquired as
% the health OF the famous attorney, as
i precaution hereafter Tennessee polit-
,ians may be well advised to ally them
selves conspicuously with the Patterson
action before they commit murder

annals Of any State more unseemly than
this scandalons haste on the part Of the
chief executive Of a great State to nulli-
fy the judgment OF the States highest
court in the matter OF a crime which,
because il was so unnecessary and so
brutal, aroused the intensest indigna-
ton OF the whole people OF Tennessee.
The effect upon the moral and poIiti-
cal situation in Tennessee, torn as il has
been by factions and embittered by
strife, is bound 70 be most disastrous.
Already it has been announced that
three Of the sitting judges Of the State
Supreme Court, and United States Sem
ator Frazier have refused to euter into
the Democratic primaries called by the
machine controlled by Governor Patter-
son, but they propose to make their ap~
peal directly TO the people in the gener-
al election. Only few years ago the
situation in Tennessee became SO acute
that the aged and beloved Chief Justice
Turney, Of the State Supreme Court, be-
came the candidate for Governor ia or
der to save the Democratic party from
and now situation in
finitely worse than that has been precip-
ltated by the action OF Governor Patter-
son in his attempt TO rescue his political
friends from punishment which the
people Of Tennessee, and the entire
country, in fact, believe they richly de-
serve. New Orleans States.

Tennessee's Sensation.

! Upon the merits OF Col. Cooper's de-
fense, or the propriety of bis pardon
if it had been granted after decent in
term, upon formal application in regu-
lar course-we do care to comment at
this time. Tennessee s voters will place
the seal Of their approval, or disapproy-
al, upon il at the polls in their own
good time. But there need be no hesi-
tation in condeming the haste with
which the grant was made as unseemly.
and the precedent thus established as
dangerous. The reflection upon the
Supreme Court, Notwithstanding the ex-
ecutiye's disclaimer, is direct and very
grave.
Under the most favorable circum-
stances the governor of State incurs
very serious responsibility when he un-
dertakes to set aside the verdict Of
sworn and lawfully constituted jury,
supported by the judgment of the court
of last resort. When he takes the step
upon his own initiative, anticipating
any application for clemency, and when,
as in this case, his sympathies and his
friendship for the accused are matters
of common knowledge, he not only ex-
poses himself to the severest criticism,
but shakes popular confidence in the
supremacy Of the law and the efficacy
of the courts. The fact that political is
sues were interviewer with the case rem
ders this breach Of all propriety the
more serious. Whatever their factional |
and whatever their views of
Col Cooper's guilt, we think most Ten
nesseans who pause to give sober second |
thought to the incident will deplore the
haste as worse than unwise.

II may be that Governor Malcolm

ever, it involved frightful sacrifice for
Tennessee; It was crime against de-

Governor may be able to justify all Of
that to his conscience-w trust he
may but ia the circumstances, we
should say, it would be decidedly proper
that he resign now and ask leave to for

ID be done with Patterson, and rid OF
him politically for all time.

Cooper crisis. 1t found both defend

those Reelfoot lynchers, who murdered
another citizen Of Tennessee, guilty.

BY pardoning Duncan B. Cooper, con-
victed Of murder, Gov. Patterson paid
his political debt to d. B. Cooper, head
Of the political machine which holds
Pattetson's future in the hollow Of its
hand, and placed this organization un-
der such obligations that it can deny
him nothing. Had he refused the par
don it would have meant his political
annihilation. 1t was not courage, but
self-interest, which led him to make the
decision and strike blow against law
and order from which Tennessee will
suffer for years to come.
It would have been courage had he
refused the pardon and lost the support
of Cooper and his machine. 1t did not
take courage TO choose the favor Of
what he has every reason to believe
from past experience is the strongest
force in Tennessee politics.

more than the sensation Of the hour.

sue OF politics in the State of Tennessee.

the South been given such blow.

doning power as an executive has put a

The weakened criminal will be en-
couraged to draw the assassin knife upon
the slightest provocation, and the viola
tor Of law who has heretofore lacked
the courage to perpetrate his evil deeds
will henceforth receive an access of va
lor.
From one end OF the country to the
other there IS bound TO come a revulsion

Great State Shame.

The precipitate pardoning OF Col.
Cooper by Gov. Patterson Of Tennessee
for the murder Of the late Senator Car
mack is public disgrace and the State
may well hang its head in shame.
The influence of this piece of execu-
tive action will be most decidedly far
reaching in its influence and may en-
gender consequences OF a most regret
able character.
A sad spectacle is presented to the
citizenship of Tennessee by the conduct
of its Governor, and it is a spectacle
that the ignorant and illiterate portion
Of that citizenship will unquestionably
and accept ill-advisedly.
The crime Of lynching has been ex-
cused because juries are prone TO turn
criminals loose, but when juries convict
and the highest tribunal in the State
pronounces that conviction just and
when the Governor turns that convict
loose even before he has been petitioned
50 to do, then is lynching promulgated
and murder sanctioned Men who
should wear the stripes walk the streets
and the civilization Of Tennessee is inn

will be difficult to eradicate. Birming-
