STOKir.S OF OLD HICKORY. They Itcvcnt tho Great Democrat in Ills Truo Temperament. From the Washington Post. Gitwuil Armstrong, nsslstunt com missioner of Indian affairs, thinks that Andrew Jackson was one of the great est men this country ever produced, and h'l.'i a number of stories which were told him by his uncle, who was an Intimate f i lend of Old Hickory. Ontf of them Is very characteristic of Hie man, Lewis Cass, p;crctary of war, , was over at the wlilt houje on.? day with some Important papers for the presi dent to sign, among them being a court n.arilal findings. "Cuss, what Is this?" Inquired Jack ron, as he wait about to write ills name to the (lo. uinent. "It Is a court mnrthtl," answered Cass. "What hao I to do wMh It?" asked '.he tuvsldcnt. "It dlsmlrsrs an ofllcrr from the s.M' vlo ami the i n i !dent must sign such orders." Jackson ir.yoit with lhi paper nnd said, musingly, "Dlsmlsst 3 him from the nrmy, h? Why?" 'T'l'iinhonness; getting drunk nnd filling dovn on parade, or poimlhlng of that kind," i.-vswered the secretary. "Who ordered the court?" usked Jackson, "Ocnerul Scott," answered Ca'. "Who Is It?" Inquired the president, With more imprest. "Imqicctor-Geti'ial -Kiaun," replied Cass. , "What!" Rhoutojl i Jackson.. "My. old friend Kruun,! Cass, Just read what that paper snys." , Tho sciretuVy read the usual form of the court murtlal sentence In such cases, T.'h president then took the pa per and wrote across ithe bottom where ha was about to sign bin name: 'The within findings are disapproved. and Colonel Kraun Is restored to his duty and rank." He passed the paper iback to Secre tary . Cass, and said with his usual vehemence: "By the Eternal! Cass, when you and Scott serve your country as well as that man has you can get drunk on duty every day." . A young man from Tennessee, son of a friend of General Jackson's, came to Washington for a place. He looked obout and found what ho wanted. It was In tho war department, and filled by a very efficient whig, whom Secre tary Cass -would not remove. The young man itold Jackson the situation, and Cass was sent for. "Cass," said the president, "this young man, son of my old friend, says you have got a place In the war depart ment filled by a whig which you won't give him." Secretary Cass explained that tho duties of the office were of a peculiar kind, and he could get no one to fill the place If the man now In It should be re moved. Jackson flared up. "By the Eternal, Cass, do you mean to tell me you have an office In your de partment filled by a whig which can't be filled by a Democrat? Then abolish the ofllce!" The young man got his place.
