spIRIT OF THE PRESS.

The Penny Pas, supposes that the appropriation
to the Covington aud Ohio Railroad will hardly be
refused by the Legislature, notwithstanding the
rocen, discovery by contemporary, thatthe Board
of Public Works is invested with extraordinary
powers by the Constitution. The Legislature has
long been aware OF this fact II has long been
known, and admitted, that the Covington and Ohio
Railroad could be built by the State alone; and so
obvious is its importance that the objections to IT,
great as they are have been waived by the general
sense OF the whole couatry.
The HIig introduces letter from Paris, pub
lished in the London Leader, to show the depiora-
bic condition of the masses in France. The Paris
papers are not permitted to disclose the real state
of things in France But official documents
circular from the Secretary ofWar, Saint ArnaudD
justifes the suspicious and rumors, which prevail,
that the disorders growing out OF the scarcity, have
quite nigh assumed the proportions of civil
war. The Secretary directs his surbordinates to
fire upon the disorderly peasants, and reduce them
tosubjection at the point OF the bayonet. "Le Re
pubIicain" thinks this argues, that matters have be.
come serious.
The Enqairsr advocates the conversion OF the
present Armory into military school, and, while
guarding the public property with equal safety,
employing the same money in the education of
hundred young men of the State The simple
question ia, says the Enquirer, whether the Legis
lature will continue devote s22, 500 to mere 'po
lice for the protection of the public property here
or will convert that sum to the advancement OF edu
cation the training up of teachers for the primary
school5-at the same time securing the same eff
cient police which we now have. With $1,000 or
$1,000 sufficient guard may be obtained for the
public property-why not devote the remainder Of
the 81, 500 to the noble purpose of enlishtening
the ignorance of the lsnd2

OF the committee. at public examination at Odd
Fellows Hail. and heard the testimony given by sey.
eral persons who have been treated by DR. sew
eral of whose certificates have been published in the
papers of the city. Many of the persons examined
evnced such gratitude ia describing the relief they
had derived from DR.. BIS treatment that it was i'm.
possible for an unprejudced mind to doubt the rea.
ty of the beneficial effects of the treatment those
persons had received from him This particular.
ly manifested by those who had been under the treat
ment Of several Doctors, who had given them but
very partial relief. Il : :,
The cures made by DR.. B. were effected simply by
skilful application of his Eye Cup, without the aid
of mineral washes, cutting of any kind or giving
pain and have this additional merit that many of the
cures by DR. B have batfied the skill of some of the
most eminent practitioners and there is every rea-
son to believe they will continue as pernansn Mt as
cures effected by any other mode of treatment
