BoNE-BLAcK APPARArUs.-When strolling down
the strand on Tuesday morning last, opposite the
Foundry Of our enterprising fellow-townsmen p
H. Gary l. Co., our attention was directed to an
unusually large amount Of castings, then being
taken on board the steamer Fanny Sparhawk We
were told that it was an apparatus for burning and
renovating animal charcoal or bone black, and had
been cast at the above foundry for the "Orange
Grove Plantation" on the Mississippi, short dis
tance below Donaldsonviue. The order was given
by Andrew Robinson, ESD, agent of the "Rienzi
Plantation" opposite our town. Mr.. R. is one
among our most experienced farmers, and well
understands economy and the interest of his en-
ployers. In having selected the Thibodaux Foun.
dry and Thibodaux mechanics for the execution of
this important work, he has furnished undeniable
evidence of his attachment to home manufactures;
and, We do not at all question, has been well
pleased with the manner in which the work has
been executed. 1t affords us immeasurable plea
sure in thus being able to speak in terms of COM
mendation of our mechanics, who in all that
constitutes real skill and workmanship-we feel
proud to add-can vie with those of any other
portion of the South.

The CALAMITY AT ST. MARrIrsv1LIE.-The
Franklin Planters Banner of Thursday, 2sth ult.,
has the following account of the late terrible ca
tastrophe at St. Martinsvile:
On Sunday evening last fire broke out in St.
Martinsvlle, which not only laid waste the princi-
pal portion Of the town but was attended by a
fearful loss Of life. The circumstances, as far as
we have learned them, are these: The fire origi-
mated in stable in the rear of Mr.. Fontanette's
store, to which the flames quickly reached, and
spreading themselves in their destructive progress,
IN short time the entire square was mass of
flame. This square embraced the principal busi-
ness houses of the town, some of them fine brick
buildings, containing quantity of valuable mer-
chandlse. In one of these stores were forty kegs
OF gunpowder, which exploded with a tremendous
report, blew down the walls, carried in the roof,
and buried thirteen persons in the ruins who were
in the store at the time endeavoring to save what
they could from the confagraton.
All these persons are said to have been instantly
killed. We have not been able to learn the names
OF the sufferers The gentleman who furnishes the
information was an eye witness to this awful scene
and estimates the probable loss of property to be
about 100000. We cannot learn that any of
this loss was covered by insurance.
Since the above was written we learn from an
other source that twenty three persons are missed
since the explosion occurred, and the supposition
is that they are among the victims. A gentleman
who arrived here last night by the mail boat, states
that when he left St. Martinsvle seventeen bodies
had been found among the ruins, and that diligent
search was then being made for others who are
supposed to be there.

Yours,

The LONDON TIMES ON SLAvERY.-The Lon
don Times of the 18th has second leader on
the Presidents message, in which it lectures
American statesmen and the National Congress
on their duty to inaugurate a policy for the
eventual emancipation of the slaves. 1t is the
most difficult thing in the world to make for
eigners understand that the federal government
Of the United States is one of the delegated
powers for common purposes, and that among
these delegated powers not even an abolitionist
pretends that there is any power to deal with
emancipation. The Times, however, makes the
following significant concession to slavery:
We, in the old world, make but little way in
the cure of our social evils, so it would i'll be-
come US to prescribe for slavery. The manner
of our own abolition was no model forany State,
least of all for one that had its slavery in its
own BOSOM"
Soft is admitted, as the Boston Post Justly
observes, that the policy of British emancipa-
ton, which cost England SO many millions, is no
model for any country.
An important admission, and one which the
servile Northern journals will delight to applaud
to the echo every abolition sentiment uttered by
the British press, can digest at their leisure
Thibodaux minerva., 1856-03-01

the removal of Hufty, and the commission issued
by Gov. Wicklffe. And now, the only question
that arises is, whether the Supreme Court will look
into the reasons given by the Legislature, or only
to its right Independent of any reasons; for they
can examine the there is not the least shad-
ow of doubt, but that they will pronounce the
action of the General Assembly an encroachment
on the rights of the people.
1t appears reasonable that the Supreme Court
has the right to look into the reasons, for the
question will be, has the spirit of the Constitution
been violated? have the people been deprived Of
their right of filling the Office of Sheriff? Has a
decision of court of law been rendered null by
the action of the Legislature? All will acquesce
i'll the opinion that the decision of the supreme
tribunal of the State is to preserve the organic law
inviolate and whenever it is evident that it has
been encroached upon by the law-lnaking branch
of the Government, or from any other source, it
then becomes their duty to interfere and guard it
as they would the palladium of liberty. If the Le-
gslature had not given Or assigned any reasons for
its action, the Supreme Court might have ignored
the act, and taking it for granted that they had
removed Mr.. Hufty from sufficient cause, such as
were contemplated by the article Of the constitu-
ton-a gross neglect Of duty-but as they give
their reasons the Court may then examine and
inquire into their validity, and determine if the
spirit of the Constitution has been violated or not
We predicate our conclusions on the course gen.
orally pursued in such cases. by the Supreme
Bench of the United States. Laws have frequently
been passed by the State legislatures which in the
abstract they had right to enact, but these same
laws have been declared to be unconstitutional by
the authority above cited, because they violated
charters already granted. In similar cases no one
doubts that the passage of such laws was within
the competence of the State authorities; but, as
they infringed vested rights, they were declared
unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, who in
quired not only into the abstract power of the State
legislatures to pass such laws, but also into the
already acquired rights Of the parties who were
injured by such laws. &c. in the present case the
Supreme Court of Louisiana can inquire not only
into the abstract right of the Legislature to dest
tute Mr.. Hufty, but also into the powers already
vested in him by law and the Constitution and
they can determine whether the cause of his re-
moval as assigned, is not insufficient, and in viola
ton of the spirit of the XCth article Of the Con-
stitution, which gives to the people the right to
elect the sheriff
We believe that the Supreme Court will carefully
consider their power in the present instance; and
if they can, that they will interfere and save the
Constitution and laws of our State from the ty-
ranical action of majority, which destroyed the
confidence of the conservative portion of the COM
munity in the Legislature of the State
