JACKSON IN NEW ORLEANS.

On the morning of Dec. ,, 1914, party
of gentlemen, mounted, numbering five
or six. are gathered about remarkable
leader OF a new scene. The leader Is no other
than Andrew Jackson, who, in this unOsten-
.atious manner. has entered the city he comes
10 protect. He is he4-e to protect it from an
enemy at whose feet the mighty Napoleon
lay PROSTATE victim; an enemy at whose
free disposal the recent treaty Of Paris had
left thousands f the best trained troops in
the world, and who looked upon New Or
leans as an easy prey. So easy did the game
appear to the invaders that many OF the
ladies of the British officers had come with
their husbands, prepared to have gay win
ter among the fascinating Spanish and
French creoles of the city. But the cry
went up:
jackson has Gomez and there was magic
in the news. 1t was enough. The unavoid-
able forulahties of his reception over, eating
4 few mouthfuIs Of honniny-he could bear no
stronger food-he lost not a minute before he
remounted his horse and rode out to review
the uniformed companies, consisting OF few
hundred men. the elite of New Orleans
merchants. LAWYERS. the sons of planters, a
few clerks and others-wel equipped and not
a little proud of their appearance and dis
eipline. The next morning jackson started
carly to examine with his own eyes the con-
dition of the river below, and, visiting Lake
PontchaTtrain and Lake BOrEne. returned well

Tn" organs Of the republican party
never before appeared quite as ridicu-
lous as in their present opposition to
the confirmation Of Nj. Lamar as JUS
tcc Of the supreme court Their chief
ground Of opposition, and upon which
they are a unit, is that he was a con.
federatc and took up arms against the
union. This fact alone, they seem TO
think, should not only dcbaf him from
holding any position Of honor or trust,
but should also bring down condcmna-
ton upon the head of President Cleve-
land for nominating him for the Judge
ship. When it is remembered that the
bcstowal of high and honorable pos
itions upon eX-rebcls became a well
settled policy under republican admin
strations, such conclusion is, to say
the least, passing strange. Longstrect,
Orr, Nckmeran and the guerilla Mosby
were shown such prefermcnt when
they joined the republican hosts and
