The Columbia State.

Early in the 18th century Dom
mick A. Hall, a member of the
Charleston bar. was appointed
United States circuit Judge and
sent to the Fifth circuit, which
caused him to make the city of
New Orleans his residence. When
Gen. Jackson was in New Orleans
during the War of 1912, citizens
of New Orleans, resenting some
of the generals military meas
ures. obtained an injunction from
Judge Hall. The injunction, how
ever. did not restrain, and Gen.
Jackson proceeded with his meas
ures.
Subsequently Gen. Jackson was
fined for contempt of court by
Judge Hall. About 1843 a move
ment was begun in various States
to have a bill passed through con-
gress restoring to Gen. Jackson
the fine that he paid. with intar
Fe dhdx tkss'a:'sR to that prFe
port wsS adopted by the Sou :.
Carolina legislature.
This action was conveyed in a
letter to Gen. jackson, at the
Hermitage in Tennessee, by Gov.
James H. Hammond.
Above is a fac simile of the au-
tograph letter of acknowledgment
of Gen. Jackson to Gov. Ham
mond of his native State.
The original letter is now in
possession of Capt. James H.
Hammond of this city, a grand
son Of Gov. Hammond, and was
kindly lent to The State to be
photographed by him.
JACKSON'S LETTER.
THE letter referred to follows)
Hermitage,
18th January, 1S43.
His Excellency,
j. H. Hammond.
Governor of S. Carolina.
Sir:
| have the honor to ac-
knowledge the receipt of your
letter of the 2nd. ultimo inclos-
ing the following resolutions
adopted by the Legislature of S.
Carolina.
Resolved, that in the opinion
of this Legislature the fine i'm
posed during the late war with
Great Britain, by Judge Hall of
Louisiana upon Genl. Andrew
Jackson for an alleged contempt
of judicial authority, was tyrani-
cal and unjust, and puts an un-
merited stain on the reputation
of that distinguished citizen.
Resolved, that our Senators and
Representatives in the national
councils be requested to use their
efforts with congress to have this
fine refunded to General Jack
son, with foil legal interest, not
merely as a pecuniary indemnity,
but as reparation Justly due by
the whole country for his emi-
nent services. to his wounded
characterand feelings"
Conscious as | am of the in
tegrity and propriety of my con-
duct in regard to Judge Hail., it
is truly grateful to my feelings
to find the. Legislature of my
Native State, S. Carolina, uniting
with the legislatures of other
States in those high and honor
able feelings of Justice which
their resolutions so plainly indi-
cate. This voluntary act of the
Legislature IS. Carolina in the
cause of ] tice, deserves and
receives m warmest gratitude
which. cay you to make
known to IN.

THE STATES COMMENTS.

THE STATES COMMENTS.
In commenting editorially on
the foregoing letter The State
says:
The tribe of detractors of Cen
eral Andrew Jackson who. since
his death, have tried to deprive
him of the honor, that he so
much cherished, of having been
born in South Carolina, will SCOT
fingly say that the fac simile of
the letter of the General to Gov
ernor Hammond, in which he
speaks of his native State. South
Carolina" proves nothing. They
will chorus that no one disputes
nrnSs ai-Snrksuf t1Iargnr ne
t3as South Carolinian and that
At least eight documents in
which he employed words to
that purport are in existence.
Nevertheless. it seems right
and expedient that this letter. in
the handwriting of the General
and sometime President. over
his signature. be printed for the
illumination of the minds of the
Daughters of the Revolution, of
: Mecklenburg. North Carolina,
innocent victims of the heretical
and malign teachings of the
Charlotte Observer and the Char.
lotte Chronicle.
These good and patriotic wom-
en-, thus led astray. have lately
caused stone to be erected in
North Carolina, reciting that it
marks the spot on which General
Jackson was born. We have no
purpose of arguing the question
with them, or any other question
with any other good women or
set of good women. but we be-
heve that when they read the
letter to Governor Hammond,
writ with the Generals own
iiand. and perceive the outstand-
ing pride with which he spoke of
South Carolina. his native State,
they will not fail to perceive.
also, with what indignation he
would have repelled the accusa-
don that he was born in North
Carolina.
When these good and noble but
now deluded women, reading be-
tween the lines, are thus impress
&c. as perforce they must be,
they will repent then what they
hove done and proceed to have
TIE face of the stone planed
srluoth again and then have the
stone itself removed to the spot
ir Lancaster county where Gen.
eiai jackson first saw the light.
A new inscription, qhoting from
the letter. may then be engraved
upon the stone.

The claims of Nanndorf to be the
son of Louis XVI of Franco have been
put forward again recently by those
who believe the Dauphin eacaped
from the Temple in Paris instead of
dying there in 1885, as recorded in
history. AS result of the contro-
versy which has arisen on the subject,
the Prussian State archives have been
diligently searched and found to con
tain many documents relating TO this
claimant to the title of Louis XVI, but,
according to the officials, they all tend
to prove him to have been the subject
of hysterial self deception, and that
in fact he was German citizen. In a
pamphlet just issued by Professor
Tschirch, the State archivist of
Brandenbnrg, who has had access to
all the State archives, proof is given
that the alleged Dauphin was a man
of humble extraction, and the author
declares that there is not a single
point in the State papers which could
give any standardization to the legend
of his royal ancestry.

Two Scotch Stories.

years ago had strong views on the sub
ject OF dress. In the day when crino'
line was the rage a girl came to school
with a very extensive one. which much
exceeded the space between the desk
and the form on which she had to sit,
The teacher, seeing this, said to her
Gang ava home and TAX Off thae
girds fhoopD and come back to the
school as God made ve.'
Another rough and ready dominic
was examining his boys in a catechism
and asked II God had a beginning.
NO" said the boy "Wil be have an
endP Yes" be replied This was
followed Instantly by buffet on the
side of the head. "WiIl he have an
end moo" mo" said the boy, and the
master was satisfied.
