How Old Hickory Imprisoned the
,Tu6pa

Judge.
Soon after General jackson arrived in
New Orleans, in the latter part of the year
1914, he placed that city, and the whole dis
trict within his lines, under martial law
This was considered q wise, and even q
necessary precaution, and was zeaously sub
mitted to by the patriotic portion Of the
population. After the great battle of the
Sth OF January, 1915, in which the British
were so totally routed, the malcontents 10 the
city began to murmur at the maintenance of
martial law, declaring that as the British had
fled, and there was no danger from any foe,
the continuance OF the military regime was
downright tyranny. Old Hickory paid no
atte Otion to these murmurs, but went on his
lion way, with an eye single to the safety of
his country. But soon news came, vague
and unautheDtic that peace had been de.
clsred, and then the murmurs of the malcon-
tents became frequent and loud The French
portion OF the population we're especially
clamorous, and finally they began to get
certificates of French citizenship from the
French Consul hoping thereby to be able to
set Old Hickory at defiance. But they mis-.
took their mau. As soon as the old hero
learned what they were about, be ordered

habitants that the fruits of their glorious
victory should not be snatched from them by
reason of any lack Of vigilance on his part
and that, until he received official notification
