Andrew Jackson.'
The Democracy have celebrated the
anniversary of the great victory won
by Andrew Jackson seventy years ago
at N!w Orleans. It was not a geeat
victor, because of the numbers en
gaged! Some five thousand British
regulars charged Jaacksbn's breast
works manned by 3000 Kentucky
riflemen and , lost over 2600 men,
killed; and 'wounded, including , their
gallant but rash commander RenerI
Parkciham, who" was ' slaJn mly in
the action. It v was a more bloody
blunaer than the bulldog British made
at Bunker Hill, .because the position
was so much stronger, and Jackson's
forcesjwere relatively more numerous
and formidable than Prescott had
when lie repulsed Howe. It was a
great victory; won by a bold, energetic
shrewd man, who had learned all he
knew of the art of war as an Indian
fightef, over aweteran who had been
trained under Wellington, the ablest
and most scientific English soldier of
this century. The battle of New
Orleans made Jackson the military
idol of the American people, made
him President of the Unites States.
The rieople are never critical concern
ing success ; tSey have no patience
with, excuses for failure. Jackson
made! the most of his inferior military
resources, acted with great energy,
caution and cunning, and yet it was a
happy; stroke of luck for him that Sir
Edward Pakenham was as' rash as he
was brave, that he was a gallant grana
dier, father a cautious, astute general.
Had the gallant English soldiers been
handled with even moderate military
skill and caution Jackson1" would never
have Jwon the day, and would have
had Tip capital outside his Indian vic
tories; to make him a pushing, success
ful capdidate'for the presidency. He
would have stood for no better soldier,
nor hardly so good before the nation,
as Harrison, the victor of Tippecanoe
nd the battle of the Thames, where
Tecumseh raised his ! last war-whoop.
which Grant is not; but he was like
Grant in domestic purity of : ltfe and
his kind and tender treatment of all
woman, who were in trouble; he would
allow no man to slander Mrs. Eston,
the wife of his secretary of war; his
own wife, to whom he was always loyal,
had been shamefully slandered during
his political, contest; he had fought a
duel to the death on her account, and
had silenced slander at the point of
the pistol, so that he always sympa
thized with other men who were abus
ed in this way. As a Statesman his
fame, like, that of Lincoln, grows larger
and larger every day; he was 'not an
Jefferson, but if. we were to name
the men- to whom pur Union owes its
preservation we should name Washing
ton, whose sagacious, penetrating eye
saw the seed of discord and civil war
in Jefferson's resolutions of 1798, and
who warned the nation against the crop
of thorns for the flesh of the Union,
that they' would surely produce; we
should name Jisckson, who anticipat
ed Lincoln in fervantly declaring that
"the Union must and shall be preserv
ed," and Webster, whose splendid elo
quence, playing like lightning- along
the iron chain of his logic, thundered
this doctrine of indestructible national
ity; of 'Liberty and Union, one and in
seperable, now and forever," into the
ears of the North. Jackson was a
slaveholder, but he was as. ready as
Lincoln was to "save the Union with
slavery or without , slavery; in any
event to save it. Jackson did not say,
with Buchanan and Jerry Black that
there was no constitutional right to co
erce; he knew that no constitution
could provide for its own destruction;
that the right .of a man to fight for his
life ante-dated all law books and stat
utes, and the right of a nation to fight
for life Was as sacred and as clear to
his saving common sense as the right
of an individual. He was the founder
and his patriotism was the - battle-cry
of the "VVar Democracy" of i86r, when
it turned its back on rebellion and
spent its blood for the flag. The
proclamations of Jackson and the
speech of Webster against Hayne
were the muse of -the,: Union that

WILLIAMSON,
Manufacturer of
'P081TE Court Housi
T.-UiliORo,
ary sire to son, slacked its .thirst for
victory in the bloody defeet of the
British veterans at New Orleans. It
was k pattle without present influence,
because peace had already been sign
ed in Europe, but it was the only great
victory won by American militia over
'cra;k' British troops, who had fought
seveli years victoriously under Well
ington, from Lisbon to Toulouse. It
tickfed the pride of the people wonder
fully, and it rescued Jackson from un
popularity in his own State and with
the federal administration, and planted
hirrf on the high road to the presidency
Jackson ran for president in 1824,
an4 secured a plurality of the elec
toral votes, but the election going into
the House, Adarris was elected, but
tht enthusiasm for Jackson did not
abate and in i8a8 he was elected presi
dent after a campaign full of political
fufor and noisv excitement. The cam
paign song described Jackson's march
on' New Orleans as follows :
"Be led us down to the cypress swamp,
, Where the ground was low and mucky;
There stood John Bull in marnhall pomp.
And here was old Kentucky."
Had Jackson died before his access
ion to the presidency his place in his
tory would nave - been small. As a
soldier he would have ranked with such
bold, energetic fighters in our history
as Morgan, N Sumter, Stark, Wayne,
Harrison and Harney ; he would have
no claim to sit with such strategists as
Washington, Greene of Winfield Scott
Ijevertheless it was , Jackson's rude
and homely soldiership- that elected
Him president and furnished him" an
Opportunity to prove nirnseii a states
man, whose patriotism in peace was as
signal as his courage arid energy had
had been in war. He came to the
Presidency a lifelone ' follower of
fThomas Jefferson, and yet Jefferson
feared him as a passionate military
jchieftain, whose discretion in civil af
fairs he distrusted. Clay and Webster
Jfelt and expressed for him contempt
jwhen he was first ' talked of for the
presidency and Calhoun when secretary
of war, in Monroe's Cabinet had favor
ed his trial by cortrt-martial for his
arbitrary execution of two British sub
jects, Arbuthnot and Ambrister, m
l87- So when Jackson became
president he was feaied and despised
as a. mere military chieftain by
not only the leaders of the opposition,
but several of the most eminent states
men of the Democracy,; and yet the
rude soldier made a vigorous honest,
patriotic and popular president. His
faults were the faults of Grant; he
stood aSsStrongly by his friends in good
report anaeyil repport ; in sunshine
and in stonnakGrant, and his virtues
were" those of Grant; simplicity, firm
nesss, courage, patriotism and integri
ty. he was a good man Of business,
that is the glory of Jackson. He took
his views from Washington; he spit on
efferson's State supremacy doctrine;
he cowed Calhoun, and through the
magnificent trumpet of Webster's elo
quence he blew a blast of inspiring and
awakening patriotism that was the
war cry of the nation when, thirty
years later, the political heirs of Cal
houn shot at the flag. That is the
glory 01 Andrew J ackson. rlis con
duct regarding the United States bank
is to-day approved by all intelligent
men of both parties. An able banker
of New York city recently said:
The last bank of the United States
had a capital ot $35,000,000. It . a
similar institution were to be estab
lished today,, bearing a like proportion
to the wealth of the country, it would
require a capital of more than $600,
000,000 many fold larger than the com
bined wealth of the bank of England
and the bank of France. The contem
plation of such an enormous power
placed in the hands of any body of
men gives a inst appreciation of the
conduct and motives of Andrew
Jackson in his contest with this insti
tution. His jndgement was correct
He saw that suchf a corporation, in
creasing with the growth of the coun
try, would surely tend to corruption,
while its unlimited power might be di
rected to interfere with Congress and
the liberties of the people.
Washington Snobbisnnesa,
There never was more snobbish
ness in wasniDgton society tnan
thera is at the present time. A dis
tinguished army officer, in speaking
of it, said yesterday: 'There is
lower tone in society here at the pres
ent time than has been known for
years. I do not mean by that im
morality, but I mean simply coarse
ness of manners and excessive snob
bery. You can bsj what yon please
about ihe Hayeses, bnt there is one
thing that is beyo- d question, the
daughters of our beet people at the
White House was kept up on the
same plane of decency that is found in
the purest private families. Social
ly speaking, it was above criticism.
There was no time during the Hayes
rule when the most fastidious parent
onnM have obiected to taking
daughter there. I do not know
whether you have noticed it or not,
but you do not see many of the
White House under its present re
gime. There may be a great many
reasons for this. To put itnildly, I
think it not unjust to say that the
tone of the White House clique is al
together too fast to please people
who desire to bring Up their aangn

Jeffcrten Davis,

Probably in no other nation on the
globe would armed rebellion have
received such prompi, spontaneous
and complete forgiveness on its sup

These blooJy-sbirt agitators have
one precious relic of war to which
they cling with jealous tenacity.
oor Jefferson Davis is their capital.
Whenever they find it nesesaary to
stir-up their sectional hell-b' oth they
use Mr. Davis as the ifepoon. He is
an old man with one foot and a half
in the grave. - For years he has
been, a private citizen, living in a
most retired manner, except that at
ong intervals, with the excusable
vanity of advancing year?, he makes
harmless speech. Yet these nn
easy politicians talk of him as the
old English nurses used To, talk of
the Black Douglas and try to fright

was not the fault of the South. It
was its misfortune a curse alike to
black and white, inherited from the
nation from which we wrested our
freedom. ' Before the Confederacy,
the record made by Jefferson Davis
in honor, oratory, statesmanship and
integrity would shame some of hs
corrupt assailant? in the Senate and
compare favorably with any.
Why do the Republicans now take
this old man by the hair and drag
him into the Senate? Because they
were defeated in the election and
think they can rebuild Republican
ism by reviving sectionalism. They
fan the embers of hate in order to
rekindle the fire of corruption.
Mr. Vance prononnc63 the old wo
man's story got up by a blabbing
General as groundless. His word
carries conviction with it. The agi
tation in the Senate is a bubble based
on tho error or imagination of a re
porter. But suppose the Sherman
story to be true, What pub'ic good

What "does the Senate want of it?
Is Jeff Davis on trial? Is the South

closed wounds of our unhappy civil

tician in Germany, France, Spain,
Italy or any European country to as
sail his own countrymen and to at

the Republican politician in the Uni
ted States. He selects Jefferson

of his malice. Perhaps if Mr. Davis,
instead of leading the life of a private
citizen, had lent iiis name, which

T.5f Need of National Banks.
' From the lamentations uttered in
various qnarters over the impending
extinction f the national banks one
would think that these irstitutions
were vital a necessity to the country.
Senators, Representatives, newspa
per editors and merchants vie wiih
one another in depicting the disas
ters that 'will occur when banking
ceases to be carried on under the
laws of ihe United States, arid they
advocate the most crazy measures for
averting the supposed calamity.
s All this a!atm. arises from tao fun-
(du? ent-T misapprehensions- , One
oiJl!auis that the" cotfulry "cannot
dispense "with the circulating notes
issued by the national banks. The
other is that in order to have basks
at all they must be allowed arid even
bribed to issue circulation. .We have
repeatedly exposed both of these fal
lacies, but they still find respectable
supporters.
For example, the Hon. John Sher
man asserts that it will not be safe
for a commercial community to rely
exclusively upon coin and coin certif
icates for its currency, because ihe
coin may be exported and great con
traction may be thus occasioned,
whereas the supply of national bank
notes can be regulated to meet ihe
waets of trade, He entirely over
looks the fact that national bank
notes, in order to have- an equal val
ue with coin, must be made redeem
able on demand in coin, and that
when coin is' required for export
these notes will be withdrawn and
presented for redemption until the
needed quantity of coin has been ob
tained. . Representatives are also so
afraid of the evil consequences cf ex
UnquisLiog the notes of the national
ban ks that they want the nation to
change its 4 per cent bonds due in
1907 into 2i per cents and pay down
in advance the twenty -two years' dif
ference of 1 per cent a year, ia or
der thai the banks may buy a cheap
er security for their circulation. A
much better scheme though not a
very sound one would be to redeem
LUw-bonds at once in legal tender
noteaizrhis could be done at the
; A Very Young- Adventurer.
Several hundred invitations are is
sued to a grand Wedding which was
to have been held last Thursday ev
ening in the Gerad flat', in East
Eightyfourth street. On that occasion
Mr. Hugo Baumann, a younr man
still in bis teens, was to' wed Rosa
the daughter of Mrs. R. Fiied
lander. The mother of the expect
ant bride is a widow and said to be
wealthy. She lives in elegant apart
ments in the Gerard flats, and is a
prominent leader in fashionable Ger
man society. ,
"'IHrifjo Baumann has- for several
year been a clerk in the' establish
ment "of Baumann Brothers, who
are his uncles. He has lived lavish
ly, spent money freely and was as
devoted to his fa'r "fiancee"1 as any
more than bar and six
then get all the currency is needs and
have no Interest at all to pay on the
bonds forever after. Even the eru
dite Times, was betrayed lately into
the assertion that national bank
notes are as good as gold while legal
tenders are redeemable in silver, for
geting tLat the bank notes are re
deemable in the very legal tenders it
depreciates, and consequently cannot
be superior to them in value. The
other day it said, also, that na' ional
bank currency is better than any oth
er kind of paper money we are likely
to have, because it cannot be con
tracted or expanded arbitrarily. That
it is not sois provedby the idiot fright
of the-natronal banks at tha Carlisle
bill in February 1881, when their
managers threw the whole country
into financial convulsions by sudden-
y withdrawing millions of dollars
of Iht ir circulation. . Their excuse
wa that they did not want to take a
3 per cent five-twenty year bond at
par an a yet oniy eignreen momns
fWward they were scrambling for a
3 per cept, bond redeemable at pleas
ure. No' Congress and no secretary
of the Treasury could bave done icore
mischief than the banks then did;
and they can do it at any time. In
deed, a currency of the United States
no:es redeemable on demand in coin
could not be expanded and contract
ed arbitrarily, except by a suspension
of specie raymeuts, which would on
ly occur in an emergency like that
of the late civil war.
As to the idea that there can be no
banks and no banking except in con
nection with the issuiug of circulation,
businessmen, in this city at least, do
not neid to have' it refuted. There
are numerous incorporated banks in
Wall street and other parts of the
country which issue no notes, and
yet are very profitable to their stock
holders. Private bankers like Au
gust Belmont & Co., DrexeL Morgan
& Co., Brown Brothers & Co., Se'igh
man, of New York; as onr own stable
institution here also exist in consid-
eraable numbers ana elsewhere in
the commercial world, and contrive
to make a living without the privi
lege of issuing circulation. To
speak, as Senator Sherman doeB, . of
Government bonds as the foundation
of barking, is sheer nonsense. We
have had banks, we have banks now,
and we shall have them always,
whether they are allowed to issue
circulating notes or not.
The truth is that, whereas the na
tional banks were originally . created,
to make purchasers for Goverment
bonds, it is now proposed to create
bonds for the purpose of making na
tional banks,' The thing is prepos
terous, and Congressmen and others
whol advocate it commit a serious
blunder The country is no Joriger
in need of national banks. and will witT

The day of the wedding came and
all arrangements were perfected. A
handsome trousseau, gladdened the
heart of the happy bride. The
rooms in the Gerrrd flats were eie4
gantly decorated and a superb sup
per was laid for the the wedding
guests.
The young lady was arrayed in
her bridal dress and the carriages
had begun to arrive when the bride's
mother, pale with excitement, entered
her daughter's room and announced
that the wedding should not go on,
that her daughter should never wed
an adventurer.
The guests, as they arrived, were
qcietly informed that the wedding
was necessarily postponed because
of the bride1 8 sudden illness. It was
hoped that thus a scandal would be
averted, but yesterday the sudden
departure of the groom for Europe
brought the whole affair into public
ity. Mrs. Friedlander was seen by
a reporter at her home yesterday.
She was deeply distressed. Her
daughter was not visible and Mr&
Friedlander stated that Rosa was se
riously ill. Mrs. Friedlander said:
When Hugo obtained my consent
to his marriage with my daughter
I understood from him that he was
worth several thousand dollars in bis
own right, and that he ' drew from
Baumann Brothers .$kLSaJjCSS;000:
1 Hfe mei deefjy devorjed
to one another, and I was satisfied
that the match was in every way a
desirable one.
! "A week before the wedding day
I handed Hugo $900, telling him to
deposit it in the bank for me. I told
him this money would defray the
wedding expenses for decorations
and supper. Hugo told me that in
place of depositing the money in the
bank he would place it with Baumann
Brothers and I consented to his
proposition. Just before the wed
ding was to. occur I told Hugo that
we would adjust accounts, and you
may imagine my surprise and indig
nation when, after exhibiting much
confusion, he told me that all but
$300 was gone."
"He had been robbed, I Buppose,"
suggested the reporter.
"Robbed! No, he did not offer
any excuses, but made a clean breast
of it and 'begged me to forgive him
for Rosr's sake."
"In what way did be use your
money.'
"He bought a $150 diamond ring
for Rosa and another one for him
self. Then he took Rosa to the op
era, the theatre, out carriage driving,
sent her elegant bouqusta, perfum
ery and fans. All these he lavished
On my daughter with hry own money.
I was- foolish enough' to believe that
he was able to afford it him -elf."
At Baumann .Brothers it was
learned : that Hugo ; had been dis
charged by his uncles, : Instead of a
salary of $5,000 Hugo teceived $18 a
week. For the past few days the
store has been overrutf With collect

Miss Rosa left yesterday for the
West and Mrs. Friedlander will visit
friends in Philadelphia during the
present week.

What It Costs the President to
Live.
An impression, has been artfully
created that the expenses of the
President in the White Hou3e absorb
the salary of fifty thousand dollars a
year allowed him by Congress. There
is not the least foundation for this
belief.
The only charges that fall directly
on the President are the maintenance
of the household, his i.ersonal outfit
and a limited number of so-called
state dinners (o the diplomatic body,
the judiciary, and members of Congress...-
- -.
Everv thins? lse is literally nrovid-
edirorn the public Treasury, and in
other ways. The White House is
furnished, heated, and lighted by
large appropriations, apart o! which
was diverted bj late 1 Presidents, to
different uses. The music at recep
tions is provided from the Marine
band. Large conservatories, kept
up at a cost of eight or ten thousand
4 year, furnish the flowers and plants
for decoration.
Nearly all the servants are disguis
ed messengers or laborers on the
pay rolls. The steward is a salaried
official. The choicest supplies for the
White House come from the army
commissariat at wholesale prices.
Eight thousand dollars a year are
voted for "the contingent expenses"
of the executive office which may bo
properly described as a practical ad
dition to the President's salary. And
superadded to all these perquisites
and benefits, it has become the bad
custom to use-the fmblio property

Many other indirect privileges and
advantages might be named which'
relieve the President of expense that
would fall upon him as a private citi

grew up under Grantisih, and which
were never tolerated before mat era
of vulgar extravance an! of wasteful
Bhow.

entertainment Dress and diamonds
were the marked features of that
occasion, upon which, as a distin

water was not offered to the compa

decessors, but the actual expenditures
of the President are far below th
salary and the allowances that he
receives by law and the benefits
which are incident to the executive
office.

The Present Hour.
Apart from the care of and feeding
of the domestic animals, the work to
be done on the farm this first week
in January is not of a very 'pressing
or impentive nature. With ourn
and crib full of hav and grain, with
meathou80 nd pantry well supplied
with the good things of life, and
with fuel aoundant in wood-hed and
woodpile, the thrifty farmer can
afford to go slow for awhile, and if
. . . . , , .
the weather is rad. may 100a; irom
the windows of his neat and cosy
dwelling with feelings of complacen-
cv and contentment. Idle aavs ana
nature in her sterner moods needs
not disturb bis eauanimitv. He
knows tLat winter will soon pasp.
and that warm suns, will, in dno
time, unloek the frost-bound sod for
the brightening of his ploughshare.
What need he care, even though
most of his time i-tiiow spent within
doors. He can find employment in
reading and planning for his future
work. Indeed it would be- no loss
in most Cases, if at least half of e very
farmer's winter were spent in read
ins bractical books and nepapis
relating to Lis cal inc. A host of
valuable ide s may be thus gained
in a lew weeks' time hints that
would Dav well and save many
dollar in the proscution of field and
farm work.
We therefore advise ..farmers to
utilize all their available litrature of
the farm, whether book or newsp i
per. If you have no more than i
volume or file of old newspapers, eon
it welf. read every article again.
But do not be content with these
things alone. Buy a few of the
standard works on the different
branches of farming, and thus start
the nucleus of a valuable agricultur
al library.
And yet, however much you read,
do not forget the duty of the present
hour, tft is by giving each week
and day its work, and the doing
of that work in time assigned
that we succeed in accomplishing
