COOGAN story 

____________________________________________________________________
appearing in "Flake's Bulletin" [Galveston, TX], 09 JAN 1867, 
VOL IV, ISSUE 45, PAGE 9:

A SPECIAL DISPATCH to the New York World from Charleston announces
that the South Carolina Legislature rejected the constitutional
amendment by a unanimous vote, "with one exception, that of P. J.
Coogan, of Charleston, the same man who had to be expelled from 
that city for disloyalty to the Confederacy during the war with the
United States."  The author of this statement appears to be under
the impression that the charge of "disloyalty to the Confederacy"
conveys an overwhelming rebuke to Mr. Coogan, and that fidelity to
the Union totally disqualifies him from passing judgment upon the
amendment to the Constitution.
