WALL STREET.
The Panic in Central Yesterday.

Inc III IcsLefuuFs
The N. Y. Tribune remarks editorially this
morning.
Wall street was frantic yesterday. The gam
blers of the Stock Exchange held such high
carnival as has rarely been known before in the
memory of the Oldest member of the Board. The
immediate cause was areport that Mr.. Fisk had
obtained an injunction from an accommodating
Judge restraining the Directors from making the
long contemplated consolidation of the Central
and Hudson River Railroad Companies. Cen
trail opened at 1884, declined to 17515 5-2S per
cent-and recovered Is per cent, all within about
fifteen minutes time. One may possibly imagine,
but would perhaps find it difficult
to describe, the babble and Babel of Wall street
about that time. Although the principal huctua-
tions were in Central and Hudson river (the
latter declined from 175 to 1861 yet other stocks
felt the effects of the panic severely. Gold adj
yanced to 14119, about four per cent. This re-
suit, however, was aided by canard current
during the excitement, to the effect that Minis
ter Sickles had demanded his passports and
that war with Spain was imminent. How much
money was lost and won in these huge gam
bling transactions it is impossible to say but
that the amount was enormous may be gathered
from q careful estimate that nearly or quite
one-half of the capital stock of the Central
Road changed hands yesterday.

LONDON, Sept. 23.-The Times of to-day has
an editorial on the present situation of affairs in
France. 1t says if the Emperor is now reco-
yered, his corduct cannot easily be accounted
for. The new Constitution may be regarded as
already virtually in vigor. The granting of am
nesty, the tolerance extended to the press and
every circumstance contributes to foster the
conviction that new era has dawned; yet the
Emperor remains inactive, as if he considered
everything done.
Meanwhile public opinion demands the con-
vocation of the Legislative Body, and the uneasi-
ness at delay causes some members to contem-
plate meeting on their own premises next
month, with the view of deliberating without
the consent of the Executive, Noone, however,
expects resort to such extremes. The legality
OF the Emperors conduct in allowing six months
to elapse between the demolition and reconvo-
cation OF the chambers, depends technical
quibble. Although the Legislative Body sepa-
rated before 1t was constituted, still it had given
formal signs of its existence by several decisions
