A New JLiverjr Stab}«,
Our citizens of town and country, will be
pleased to learn that a new Livery Stable, in
the one formerly occupied by Mr. Worsham,
situated on Bank street, will soon be opened
in Plaquemine by P. Broussard & Co. The
name even of this gentleman, known to ev
erybody, is sufficient to warrant the agsertjon
that the stable will be kept in A N*» one style
—supplied with thfcrflnest horses, bsggies and
carriages, and every attention paid to give sat
isfaction to all who extend their patroiaj^.—
We predict entire success for the enterprise
Fire in Plaquemine.
On Monday morning last, about 3 A. M.,
our citizens were aroused by the cry of fire!—
which proved to be the stable and warehouse
of J. B. Roth , Esq., situated in the heart of
town. Before any one, perhaps, was upon the
spot, the whole building was envelpped in
flames. It was occupied by the Messrs. Roth
we believe, as a warehouse for various articles
of hardware, the contents of v/hich were Jost.
In one end was a stable, (rented if we mistake
not by the proprietor of the Louisiana Hotel)
in which was the horçe and buggy of Dr. Ç a
sadavakt —horse perished, buggy consumed.
Adjoining the warehouse was the stable of
Mrs. Tuttle ; the right of that a building just
erected by Me. Eaton , and to the left was the
warehouse of JIap.T, Justin fy Co.,—all of
which were consumed, the latter losing about
$500. The night was cjuite still. Had there
been anything of a breeze, a great destruction
of property would have ensued. Ji was in the
neighborhood of both the printing establish
ments of the place and the principal stores. It
is not known how the fire originated. We
trust this will again bring-to the serious atten
tion of our citizens the necessity of a fire en
gine. Our town Is now of top, pttçh impor
tance to be without this inestimable preserver
from one of the nqqst appalling agents of de*
struction and ruin.
Thn Ladle«' Auction.
Not one to dispose of these invaluable and
priceless jewels which constitute the better
half of humanity, as a gentleman batcbelor
smilingly intimated as Isis belief from {be no
tice he read, arid to attend which, he said he
would be thar if he had to be carried—but one
where all '.hose lillle niceties as vyell as large
ones, so indispensible to the fair se*, which
Hart, Austin & Co. had intended should take
place on the 18th inst., was postponed on ac
count of the inclemency of the feather. They
intend, however, that it shall come off on Mon
day next without fail ; and with the usuol gal
lantry of M. & A. of that establishment, to
ensure the comfort and pleasure of the ladies
the room will be fitted up io the handsomest
style, with carpets, chairs, &c.,and also a lux
urious entertainment provided. We refer to
their advertisement for a list of the valua
ble articles they have selected to sell on the
occasion; and it would be idle to predict any
thing else than a "crowded house" nn^ a day
fraught with great novelty to the maids and
matrons of the parish—an^ froqi far and pear
we expect to see their vehicles rattling into
town at an early hour, to bear the first crie» of
''going, going, gone!" Gentlemen only admit
ted who accompany ladies.
Sheriff Hufty
There is a clause in the Constitution yvfych
gives the Legislature Çhe power to "address"
out of office by a majority vote, with the sanc
tion of the Governor, any officer except, we
believe, the Supreme fudges. Accordingly,
Mr. Hamilton , of Natchitoches, presented
such art Address to the Legislature a few days
since, with reference to Mr. Hu^ty , o,n ac*
count of the destruction of the ballot-boxes
at two precincts at the late election iu Ne*
Orleans, where, it was stated S^r. Bull, (Huf
tt's opponent) had majorities—and by this
time probabjj, the "address" has beco,me a laf,
and the next step i« the removal of Hüft *.
Had we time, we flight make some çom
ments at length on this action of th$ Legisla
ture. The destroying of the ballot-boxes was
a heinous oflfence that merited the severest
punishment, and do advantage should have
been suffered to grow out of it favombte to
either candidate. The only mode of proce
dure, and the »roe one, was a re-election.—
This Bku . objected to. He fished it bro.aght
immediately before the court. It was don« so
here he should have "stood the baz
ofthe die." He lost-Hwxr won, and
> tkfi Sheriff. If not eonsUtutioosHy, be
^at ®ter8f by the acct&g* qf law, nd here
i have let the matter stop. It was
"war; he bad chosen his weapons
Bat the Legislature finds a
^evidently intended to apply
of gross maif<a
done
wrong in the performance of his official duties '?
We come to the conclusion, without further
comment, that the act ef the Legislature alin
ed to has grown out of party violence ; and
is one much, very much to be lamented.—
Thefe were more impositions on the ballot-box,
we consider, at the election in 1853, when
Omnibusses carried meu from polls to polls to
deposite their perjured votes, and when dead
men rose out of their graves to take advantage
of their naturalization papers to swell the ma
jority of the dominant party!! These facts
are notorious. But nothing was said then by
the Legislature about "Addressing" out Mr.
MABiGsry! In this view of the ruatter, wi}h
other attending circumstances, we are pait.ed
to admit, a part from all party feeling, that we
consider this "address" as the foulest act with
it) our knowledge that has ever disgraced a
Legislative body of the State of Louisiana.^
Incendiaries About!
Since the fire last Monday, noticed in anoth
er column, another came near accruing on
Wednesday morning before daylight. A ser
vant of JMrs. Hacker , getting up at an early
hour, discovered a light in the stable on the lot
of her residence, known as Worsham's stable,
and at präsent being fitted up as a livery stable
by P. Brol'ssard . The servant j>af<| no atten
tion to the light at first, supposing it to be
caused by the workmen, who were commen
cing their work—at least suufe is her story—
but the light increasing in rite, she went to
see the cause, and found that the stable was on
fire, but having progressed but little, it was ea
sily put out. A horn* in which the combuç^ble
materials were placed^^as found on the spot
beneath the floor, near a post. But
for this tiojeljr discovery and assistance of the
servant, the stable would in all probability have
been destroyed, together with oiher property.
This is sufficient evidence that the first fire
was the work of an incendiary, and is a warn
ing not to be neglected, that every step which
vigilance could suggest, should be to
prevent any other recurrence of such a diabol
ical natqre,as vyell as measures adopted to fer»
ret out those fiends in human shape, white or
black, who could be guilty of such a devilish
act as to burn our property, and who, if dis«,
covered, so richly merit the lullest punishment
which our laws prescribe for such crimes. The
stable is the property of Sirs. Fen *. Should
■Ot the coqncil appoint a police, tç be paid from
tfieTreasury,to watch our town in the present
emergency î
The Coming High Ifi «{er.— From all parts
of the West we have accounts showing the
great probability of floods in the Western riv
ers the coqiing spring. A letter to the St
Louis Republican, dated Kickspoq Pity, Kan
sas Territory, January 29th says:
From the quntity of snow now on the
grouud, and the report of Mr. T. Brown, who
has just returned to tlsis place from Fort Lar
amie, we may expect to havq very high \yater
in the Missouri river thi^ spring.
HT John Fitzgerald, tried at Auburn, N. Y.,
for murder of his father, mother and brother,
has been convicted and sentenced to be hung
on thp 28th of March ne$t.
Cancers. —In reference to the curability of
cancers, a very eminent physician of the allo
pathic school, Dr. Monro, of Edinburg, states
that he witnessed the extirpation of sixty-two
cancers, and not two of the patients were free
from the disease two years afterwards! This
appears to be poor encouragement for any one
to undergo a painful and often dangerous
operation.
Registering of Voles. —Mr. Brooks has in
troduced in the Senate a bill to prevent illegal
voting in the city of New York, which we be
lieve is identical with that before the same body
at the previous session of the Legislature. Its
specific for the evil it is designed to remedy, is
a registration of the voters of the city to be
eompieted immediately before the elections are
to take place. Let it pass.
ITlfa father in Turkey refuses his daughter
to a lover, and the lover kills himself in con
sequence, the father is liable to the charge of
murder.

that it is entirely unnecessary to recount the evi

that almost every section of the country abonnai
in persons publicly known, who have been restored
from alarming and even desperate diseases of On*
lungs by its use. When once tried fts superiority
over every othermedicine of its kind is too appa
