General Jackson'S Suspension
of the Habens Corpus in New
hsI

orleans.
In the discussion Of the Merryman case
at Baltimore, where the h0Jeos coyDu,
has been disregarded by the military an.
/ thorities, many references have been made
to the celebrated case Of General jackson
in 1915 as a precedent. AS .ahe history
of the latter case does not seem TO be un-
derstood by many Of those who are ap.
| pealing to it, we will briefly state it and
leave the reader to judge whether there
is any similarity between the action of
General jackson and Caldwallader. The
| city OF New Orleans was be,eigei by the
British and was in imminent dap ger Of
capture. General jackson occupied it
and converted it for the time being into
camp, in which martial law was pro-
claimed. This was indispensably neces-
sary for its safety. A communication
was published within the precincts of the
camp severely rejecting upon the conduct
OF the General. The author was found
and taken t. the guard house and con-
/ fined, as his communication was calcula-
ted to relax the ties of military authority
and bring the command into contempt,
and so endanger the city. The friends
| Of the prisoner isued out writ Of h0JeoS
corpus, before Judge Hall, which directed
General Jackson to produce his body be.
fore him.
AS the civil law had been suspended
within the precincts ofthe camp by pro-
clamation Of martial law, it is more than
questionable whether the Judge was au-
tholized to exercise any jurisdiction while
it lastel. The General disregarded the
writ, but afterwards, when the civil law
was re-established by the suspension OF
the martial law, he appeared before the
Judge to answer to charge Of contempt
Of Court. He was fined 81, 600 for his
conduct, which he paid. Twenty ght
years after that a grateful country retun-
ded the fine by an act Of Congress, bnt
expressed no opinion as to the legal
ity of the Generals act, although many
members embracing the late Stephen a
Douglas, believed and argued that he had
violated no provision of the Constitution.
whenever such case as this shall arise
the American people will sustain the Gen
eral who shall act as General jackson
did on that occasion.
General jackson was a law abiding
man, so much so that he actually protec-
ted the Court with his anthoirty against
public indignation when it imposed the
fine upon him. Had it not been for his
remonstrance the citezens would have
hurled the Judge from the Bench, as they
felt grateful to the General for his pro-
lection Of their homes, and considered
the prosecution of the matter a persccu
ton to him. After the fine was imposed
they offered to pay it but the General
W uld not allow them to do it, but took
the money ont of his own private purse to
sustain measure which had prevented
New Orleans from falling into the hadds Of
the British. When the military authorities
at Baltimore seek the sanction of Gener-
al jackson 5 great name, lei them initiate
his exampl in all particulars, and the
country will be content. But they have
thus far fallen lamentably short OF it.

A GrcnlAnriICOoI.

The greatest April fool on record was
Napoleon Bonapauc In 1910, be was
in the very zenith Of his power and glory;
aided by the peculiar circumstances of the
times, his own military genius, and the
good sense and fact of his devoted wife
Josephine, he had risen from humble life
to be Emperor Of France, surrounded
with more power and splendor than any
other potentate OF Europe or the Old
World. But with this he could not be
content. he began to look about him,
and in uire to whom should he leave all
bis power He made kings Of his broth
ers except one, (Lucien, who wouldn't
have any Of his crowns) but he had no
children and was not likely to have, by
josephine.
1t was well known that she was a wild
ow when he married her and had two
children, son and daughter by her first
husband. The daughter had married
Napoleon's brother Louis. But there
came no children to him to heir his
throne. What was to be done? Why
Just get divorced from his faithful wife
Josephine, and marry some Of the young
princes. This was done, and an alliance
with the Emperor of Austria, and the
hand Of his daughter Marie Louisa de-
manded in marriage. This was granted,
and on the first day Of April, (All FOOLS
Days,) 1910, they were married. In
process OF time son was born TO him,
and Napoleon, poor man, thought his
throne established in his family forever
by Legitimate succession, and not only
that, the chances were that, in addition to
the throne OF France. the lucky boy might
possibly inherit the sceptre Of the house Of
Hapsburg, and be ruler over both France
and Austria.
This was glorious dream, and the Sc
qucl proved that it was but dream. A
half century has passed by since that
marriage and many who remember the
excitement and speculation to which it
gave li'e at the time can now look over
the whole and note the results. Napoleon
lost his throne, and died an exile on the
lonely Isle f St. Helena-Ma ie Louisa.

An Internal Machine.

The Baltimore Republican tells a queer
story in connection with the search for
arms that has been going on in that city.
AS detachment Of federal soldiers were
poking about in a celler, they stumbled
on a singular-looking machine, with a
long tin funnel, which had been partially
concealed in one corner They were
about to remove the affair from the house
when the lady of the house rushed toward
them and begged them not to touch it, a.
it was filled with powder. The words
had hardly escaped her lips, when the
soldiers rushed pcll-mell ont Of the door,
and only halted upon hearing a hearty
burst of laughter from the lady, who Mp
on being intcrrogated, Informed that il
was a patent German sausage machine

Emancipation of the Slaves.

This is becoming, and soon will be the
the war-cry Of the Republican party. Its
file leaders are already raising it. They
said at first that emancipation would be
an indirect effect of the war; now they
are seeking to make it the direct result
They care more for the nigyer than the
Union.

This is now'oeing proclaimed in all the
North as likely to be the only means left
for saving the Union.
What the Democracy and Cnion-lov

to this is, that such pretended salvation
of Union, by such an unconstitutiona
and tyranncal exercise of power on the
part of the Presideat, with the annihiIa
tion of State sovereignty and the deStruc

laws, will be its sure and final dissolution

OH, BE NOT THE FIRST.

Oh, be not the first to discover
A blot on the fame of a freind,
A flaw in the faith of lover,
Whose heart may prove true in the end
We none of us know one another,
And oft into error we fall
Then let us speak well of our brother,
Or speak not about him at all.
A smile or sigh may awaken
Suspecion most false and undue
Or thus uur belief may be shaken
In hearts that are honest and true.
How often the light smile of gladness,
Is won by the friends that we meet,
To cover a soul full ofsadness,
FOO proud to acknowledge defeat.
How often the sigh of detection
Is heaved from the hypocrite's breast,
To parody truth and affection,
Or lull "a suspicion to rest.
How often the friends we hold dearest
Their noblest emotions conceal,
And bosoms the purest, sinceiest,
Have secrets they cannot reveal.
Leave base minds to harbor suspicion,
And small ones to trace out defects
Let ours be a noble ambition,
For base is tho mind that suspects.
We none of us know one another
And oft into error we fall
Then let us speak well Of our brother,
Or not speak of him at all.

A Minnie Bali Sent Right TO th<


How bitingly true is the following
from the New York Journal of Com
merce! It's faihfu'ness will be rccog-
nized by all, and acknowledged by every
candid person:
at is great mistake to suppose that
a bloodhound is courageous dog. The
men who have plunged us into this war,
who have haloocd on the people, are
men that have wisely stayed at home.
And a part Of the plan to cover mp their
own want of courage, is to keep up the
cry of war. The rebels in the South who
planned the dissolution of the Union,
who advocated it in Congress and in the
news papers and on the stump, are the
men who have taken the field, while the
Northern editors and Congressman and
Senators who opposed compromise, who
let us drift into this war, nay, who drag
ged us into it, are at home making con.
tracts to supply army stores, and shout,
lug traitor at every man who venture,
to remind them of the evil they have
brought on the country, or suggested a

A Great River from IA little RiIl.

a Welsh clergyman asked a little girl
for the text of his last sermon. The
child gave no anSwer-she only wept.-
He ascertained that she had no Bible in
which to look for the text. And this led
him to inquire whether her parents and
neighbors had a Bible; and this led to
that meeting in London; in 1904, of a
few devoted Christians, to devise means
to supply the poor in Wales with the BIZ
BILE, the grand issue of which was the
formation of the British and Foreign B-
bic Society--a society which has already
distributed more than 100000 copies
of the Bible, its issues now reaching
nearly 100000 annually. And this,
in turn, led to the formation of the Amer
can Bible Society, and to the whole beau
tilul cluster of sister institutions through
ont the world, which are so many trees
of life, scattering the golden fruits of i'm
mortality among all nations Of the earth

n correspondent OF the New York Sun
tells the following story
An incident was related to ME last
night by a lady of Alexandria, which af-
iords a striking, but sad illustration OF
the effect Of civil war. The lady in ques.
tion has resided with an only daughter
for many years in Alexandria. About
nine months since mutual friend intro
duced young gentleman of Richmond
to the family. The young people soor
becme intimatly acquainted, and quite
maturity fell in love. The, parents OF
both sides consenting, the parties were
betrothed, and the marriage day was fixed
for the 4th Of July instant In the
meantime, however, Virginians were call.
ed upon to decide on which side they
would stand. The ladies declared them
selves on the side of the Government, but
the gentleman joined the forces of his
State. No opportunity was afforded for
the interchange Of sentiments between
the young folks or anything settled as tc
their future movements. Matters thus
remained till the 4th of July when ex.
actly within an hour Of the time origin,
ally fixed for the marriage intelligence
was conveyed to the residence O
the ladies that the young man was shot
by sentry two days before while attemp.
ting to desert and join his bride. His
bctrothed did not shed tear, but stan,
ding erect, smiled, and then remark,
ing to her mother, Il am going to desert
too"fel to the floor, while the life blood
bubbled from her lips, and this morning
her remains were conveyed to their last
resting place.
