There is great deal OF discomfort in the public

NEW DISCOVERY IN MRpIcISE.-The newspapers
have given, within the last iew days, some eloquent
descriptions OF a new and wonderful medicine, in
vented or discovered by en- Italian chemist, and
called after his name. IL all the accounts are cor
rect which have been given of this new discovery,
IT is perfect philosophers stone-the long looked
for elixir of life.
According to these accounts this newly discov-
cred medicine consists of liquid extracted from
vegetable products, which, being applied 10 wounds
or CUTS OF the carotid artery, causes an lmme-
date suspension of hemorrhage, Eand heals the
parts in lew minutes. II is said TO be a perfect
cure for all sorts Of disorders, from the beginning
OF the alphabet TO the end. The accounts given Of
experiments made in Paris, before the whole circle
OF physicians and surgeons there, are OF remark
able character. These experiments were made
upon certain innocent sheep, whose throats were
inhumanly cut TO test the efficacy Of the medicine,
and were probably afterwards eaten, as very good
mutton, by those who made the experiments.
The first account Of this extraordinary discovery
IN the art Of healing, has been given to the world
by certain Chevalier attached to the French news
paper published in this city Whether he is lineal
descendant OF Baron Munchausen we do not know;
but certainly the story looks very much like it. The
famous Moon hoax was not more improbable than
this story of the Eau Brochiri.
NEWSPAPER Charlottesville revolutionary
movements in the newspaper press are still going
on Two new newspapers have just been COM
menced, one in Wall street and the other in the
neghborhood OF Fulton street, on the same princi-
pies thar characterize the Herald. They may both
have chance of success although it is hazard
Gus to promise much.
But the facts only indicate the force of the move
ment which was commenced twelve years ago by
us, and which Is going on principally in New York,
but also elsewhere, to greater or less extent The
old journals, conducted on the old principles in Wall
street, are gradually declining, day by day, and
week by week, and the press are usurping their
place. AT this moment, the aggregate daily circu-
latien of the New York newspaper press, is proba-
bly, hundred thousand sheets per day, Of which
not over ten or twelve thousand are issued by the
Wall street or old class of journals. The great n-
telecual movements OF this country, the great mo-
raj and commercial movements, well as political,
have all been controlled by the newspaper press
which is conducted on the same plan as the Herald
In few years, such papers the Courier and En-
quirsr and the Journal Of Commerce, and others,
will be recollected only by the place from which
they were issued. Nothing else will remain of
them.

WALL STREET TRoUBLEs.-The troubles between
the bulls and the "bears' in Wall street, rela-
tive to Erie Railroad stock, were quoted for the
present, by reference of the whole difficulty to
committee of the Board of Brokers, who are pre-
pairing decision to be submitted to the Board tor
concurrence in few days
This affair, cornering operation, as it is called,
has caused great deal of talk in the street, and has
resuscitated or raised from the dead the skeletons
Of a number Of fashionable stock jobbers, who are
said have congregated in certain basement Office
In Wall street, from the year 1882 to 1887 Some say
they have been remaining under ground, like Her
culaneum, until they were excavated one day about
month ago by the "Union Club" and brought to
hight The "Union Club" and its clique OF stock
lobbers, are great concerns They have been well
known in Wall street for fifteen years past-some-
times In one shape and sometimes in another an
: bears' and " bulls"-without much judgment or
sagacity in gambling in stock. They hsve caused
a great deal Of "cornerine," and generally have
gone beyond their depth. In less than fifteen years.
this clique Of fashionable ron<s, now called the
Union Club" have swamped probably half dozen
highly respectable members OF the Board, by injudl-
clous operations On occasion, ten years ago,
late member OF the Board was offered large sum
il he would only promise not to say, when stocks
were running down" The bung h out, the buns
is out" But the truth is, these simple youths, vary
ing from fifty to seventy years Of age each, never
meddled with any stock that the bung did not fall
out before the crisis, employ broker that was
not ruined by their folly and ignorance
What the result of the last operation will be, time
will tell Probably another batch Of lame ducks,
tor US to roast, cook, and eat up.

UsuRY.-We are glad to perceive thai
the people Of the United States are becom-
ing aroused to the injustice of Usury laws
and are becoming convinced that the pos
SCISSORS of money should have as much right
to use it to the best advantage as any other
commodity. Free trade in money will
doubtless contribute much to the PROSPERITY
Of the country, and laws conflicting with it,
should never have appeared in our Statute
Books.
We learn from the New York News,
that bill has been introduced into the New
York Legislature for abOlishing the penal
ties now inflicted for taking usury, and there
is little doubt Of its adoption.
We hope this movement in the Empire
State, will be followed by others of a SINH
lar kind by every State in the Union that
has not acted upon the subject.

whether the contemplated notice be given

Of policy indicated by the President or not
| fear there are elements at work. l fear
there are causes which, whatever may DC
our courses, will in a short period OF time
result in conflict between this country
and Great Britain. May not the honora-
BILE Senator from Michigan with much rea-
son new say that war Is inevitable
Mr.. Cass observed:
"He bad never used the expression which
had been attributed to him that war was
inevitable. What he had said was, that he
was afraid that war would take place, and
he would add that every day increased big
apprehensions. He might now, since th'
information called for by Congress hat
been laid before them by the Presidept, hs
might now say that all that he had stated
on the 18th day Of December, in relatiol
to this subject, had been fully borne out
He might now say there was then strong
cause for apprehension, and that nov
is still stronger cause. That the arms-
ment Of. Great Britain were prepared win
a view of being called into use, no MAJ
could doubt. He would say TO his honora-
bic friend from Florida that his first impress
sion not only remained, put had become
strengthened by the indications which haC
since exhibited themselves"
