The HEALTH OF THE EnpERoR NAPOLEON

The HEALTH OF THE EMpEROR NAPOLEON.
-Rumors are again ahoat regarding the health
of the Emperor Napoleon. 1t is said that he
has had a return OF his former Illness The
rumor, of course, has heen cOntradicted; and
we are not unwilling to state that we have
quite as much faith in the contradiction as we
have in the report. 1t is undeniable, however,
that in spite OF the contradictions there is
very general conviction that the Emperor 5
health is not sound, nor can it be said the con-
viction is il-founded. The opinion prevails
that, while the Emperor may live for many
years, his death within brief period would not
be surprise.
This fresh rumor of his being i'll revives a
question in which we are all more or less deep
ly interested-whether the peace of Europe
and the world would not be seriously imperillcd
by his death. 1t is undeniabe that certain
great national and social impulses are held in
check mainly by him. The German races
would be a unit tomorrow but for the opposi-
ton which is given to such union By the chief
Of the French nation. The smouldering ele.
ments OF revolution which are known 20 exist
in Eastern Europe would burst forth but for
the combination OF which Napoleon is the Head
Centre. As soon as Napoleon is gone the
Hungarian empire will take the place of the
Austrian empire, and the German races will
consolidate under the imperial rule of the Ho-
henzOllerns. Russia will become more impe-
rlOus, and, taking her little sister Greece by
the hand, will reinstate her in something Of
her former greatness. There are, besides, So
cial questions which command attention far be-
yond the limits of any neutrality-suspicious.
which in their development comprise a Euro
pean contraternty, alike Indifferent to the di,
tlnctlons Of nations and to the distinctions of
classes: These revolutions will not be accom-
plished without much cOmmotion-not. we
fear, without large sacrifices Of blood and treas
ure. That these forces do not command more
attention now is due mainly to the fact that the
strong repreSsive hand of the Emperor is upon
them. The hand Weakened, or removed Iy
death, an explosion may be looked lor.-N

HE REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES. The
increase OF the receipts of the Government and
the decrease of its expenditures is so remarka.
oie 10 comparison with last year, that it affords
interest TO the public, and is a source of gen.
erai congratulatiou, or should be. The reye-
nues have been so efficiently collected and the
expenses OF the government so materially re-
daced since the commencement of President
Urants administration, that there has not been
monthly statement of the public debt since
last March but what has shown a reduction of
our national liabilities. The monthly state
ment for October shows decrease in the debt
OF over 100000. Treasurer Spinners re-
port furnishes the basis for these comments
his report shows that for the six months end
ing September Both, commencing March lstl
the receipts have increased $I9, ,233, ,953, and
the expenses decreased S36, ,SOl ,Ol4, making
total OF $56,034, ,967 in favor of the government.
Thus, while the army for the last six months
of Johnson's administration cost over $GI ,O0O.-
600, for the first six months of Grants admin.
lstratlon it cost but little over $4,000, 900:
and while the civil service for the same period
u
but about $48,00O,0O0. About $4,000, 1000
have been saved in the navy, and so on. We
might g.o Inc figures for the customs and
revenues, but it is unnecessary The great
increase IN the revenue has resulted from a
more rigid collection of the whisky and tobacco
tax The gain 10 the tax on whisky alone in
the last six months has been almost double
what it was during Johnson's administra-
ton. And more than half as much tax has
been collected on tobacco. According to the
statistics of Commissioner Delano the increase
in the former is 95 per cent and in the latter
66 per cent.
i According to these figures it is shown that
the total gains by this rigid collection of the
taxes will amount to from $4,000 to $4,000
more per year than they ever have before.
And at the rate the national debt is being re-
duced, nearly slOO,0OO,0OO per annum, it is
estimated by astute calculators that we can
pay it of in about fifteen years. Under these
circumstances it is useless for the repudiators
20 show their heads. ~

dali, of Louisiana, who is the head ofthe
most tangible and feasible immigration
scheme ever started in the South. de
has been working in the various South
eru States to organize and put in NOV
inc order his scheme for nearly two
wears, and we are gratifed to learn from
him and from various Southern papers
that his prospects are most fattering'
The press throughout the South have In
dorsed the movement almost unanimous
" wherever it has been presented, and
the time is close at hand, it is believed,
when substantial results will be pro-
duced. Col. Crandall is an indomltable
worker, and has overcome obstacles from
which others less sanguine and deter
mined would have turned away disheart-
ened. We have not time or space to go
into the details of his scheme, but Will
take pleasure in speaking of it as it de-
serves hereafter. Suffice it to say that
he deserves the liberal encouragement OF
every Southern man, and possesses rare
facilities for the accomplishment OF his
plans.
