About the Emperor's Health

rom tne LONDON Times. Septpmber
Inc Emperor OF the French left for Biarritz
on Thursday night. but his friends are not
quite re e-assured on the score of his health We
are very unwilling 10 give weight TO the re-
ports that have been spread as 10 the serious
nature OF his indispositIon; but neither can we
TOO readily credit the accounts that are given
OF his perfect recovery. The we'll being OF the
Emperor Napoleon, and his fitness for Intense
and constant application 10 public business
are matters OF great moment for France and
the world that II - no wonder II rumor eN ap-
gerates hopes ana fears, and If the excitement
Is kept alive by every variety of gross and
wlllful misstatemenL Although we have
reason to believe that the Emperor is IN no
present danger, yet we are also assured, on
very good authority, that the medical ad yisers
recommend prudence, and warn him against
the 'serious consequences" of any departure
from their iDJunctions. The Will of the En-
peror as OF such paramount weight in France
and the settlement of the most intricate uues-
tons is so dependent on bin alone, that il is of
the greatest Importance that the exercise OF MS
1aculues should be unimpaired, and his iudg-
ment unbiased by any subordinate influence
Our readers will have had little difficulty i'm
understanding the hints that have been
tnro%h out IN me Paris correspondence which
throne, and about hIs Maiesty's person
the1e are conflicting agen cies at work, striyinp
TO draw him into different and contrary direc-
lions. and TO sway his resolutions in Obedience
10 their peculiar views and especial purposes
Although their influence NAV be but slightly
felt in ordinary circumstances, and so long as
the master mind is in the full en- jeyment of per-
feet freedom. they may, however not be so
easily resisted when the mental energies are
borne down by bodily sufferings. These dls-
turbing forces, these contending court factions
are headed by two persons of exalted rank
one OF whom lately preceded the Emperor TO
BlarrltZ, and the other has been for some time
enjoying his leisure al his charming residence
on Lake Leman. Should any sinister event
either remove the Emperor from his place at
the head OF the Government, or even slacken
that rare activity of which he has hitherto
given proof, there is no doubt that many OF the
vital European questions which are even now
awaiting the Emperors good will and pleas
ure would receive q different solution from
that he might wish TO give them. Among these
none would become more serious subject OF
contention than the Roman question on which
the tendencies Of the Biarritz party are known
10 be rigidly conservative and Cltramoutaine
while the political school of Prangins are
aNoWeoIy nent on securing the triumph of the
cause Of nationality and freedom.

TRAGIC SHOOTING ARRAY.
Alderman Grace Kills Frank Cum
mings.

II is our painful duty to record another
deed of blood, whereby one of our best
citizens has lost his life. For some time
there has been a Misunderstanding be-
tween Alderman d. r. Grace and Mr.
Frank Cummings, which resulted on
Monday in difficulty wherein blows
were exchanged. On Monday night one
of Cummings clerks-H. 4. flanagan
was beaten in a grocery kept by Grace,
and yesterday he forwarded challenge
by fellow clerk named Donovan, who,
on presenting it to Grace. was struck
several times by him and some of his
friends For this, Grace was arrested,
and started from his residence
near Brinkley avenue in company
with policeman on the Poplar
street cars. The car stopped
near Cummings grocery, adjoining the
market house, when flanagan stepped in
front OF the car and abused Grace for
treating his friend so roughly when he
brought the challenge, and in less than
minute both parties were shooting
About five shots were fred by each of
them without effect, when Lana
gan retreated into the store fol-
lowed by Grace, who stepped up
to Cummings, who was behind the
counter and shot him in the side, the
ball passing downwards, fiop the eff
fects of which he died about ten clock
this morning. The above version of the
affair we learned from gentleman who
was present, and will be examined as
one of the witnesses. Grace is confined
in a room in the second story of the
First District station house. This
morning flanagan was arrested for
shooting with intent to kill and sending
challenge The Investigation of this
affair will probably take place to-day
before Esquire Creighton.

THE SOUTHERN SOLDIERS In
COUNCIL.
The Meeting in Court Square last
Night-Great Enthusiasm
5000 Persons Present.

As the hour for the meeting of Con-
federate soldiers in Court Square last
evening approached, large numbers of
brave men who went forth to battle for
their country, could be seen vending
their way to the place of meeting to
Join their late comrades and express
their sentiments like freemen. Col John
P. Pryor called the meeting to order,
when Gen John c. Fizer was elected
Chairman Gen. Forrest read dispatch
which he had just received from Gen.
Granger, President of the Cleveland
Convention, Gems. Custer, Wool, and
others, as follows:
The National Union Convention of
Soldiers and Sailors assembled here are
profoundly grateful to you for your pa
triGtic sentiments expressed in your dis
patch We hail with pleasure every eff.
fort to restore peace, prosperity and
brotherly affection throughout our entire
country War has its victories, but peace
and Union are blessings for which we
will manfully contend until harmony and
Justice are restored to all under the Con-
stitution.
After which the General made a char
acteristic speech, saying that he had met
many of the signers Of the dispatch on
the battlefield, was willing to extend to
them the hand of friendship, and trust to
their faith. He was for standing by the
Constitution as handed down to us by
our forefathers, and hope that this Union
may ever rest upon that basis He be-
lieved Northern people should be invited
among us those who had visited his plan
tation came away with changed or modi-
fed views. We want to convince the
Northern people that We are not the
bad people that we are represented to
be, and in no way can this be more
speedily effected than by free social in
tercourse. [Great applause.l He stood
by the man who was for the Constitu-
ton, without stopping to see which was
the strong party. In the war he didn't
count noses; he had gone out to fight,
and fight be did, whether he had ten men
or ten hundred. He was here tonight
to say that he wasin favor of doing JUS
tice to every man, whatever section he
might be from, and give his hearty APP
proval and support to law and order, and
to disclaim ali bitterness or sectional
hate, and to strengthen the cause Of the
Union [Applause

Chalmers, General W. Y c. Hume, Cap

TRAGIC AFFAIR NEAR THE CITY
Trouble between Relatives-Man
Shoots himself and Wounds
his Sister.

On Monday night man named W. e.
HUMPHREYS, residing about four miles
from the city on the Holly Ford road,
had difficulty with his brother-in-law,
in the course of which he drew a pistol
with the evident intention of shooting
him. HUMPHREYS sister seeing the
danger of her husband, rushed between
them, when general scuffle ensued, the
pistol being discharged, and the ball,
entering the neck and passing out near
the,shouder of HUMPHREYS, wounded his
sister in the hand. HUMPHREYS lived
but few minutes after the occurrence.
An inquest was held on the body by
Esquire Walton, the jury returning a
verdict that he came to his death from a
pistol shot inflicted by himself
