The recent anxiety throughout France and
Europe generally caused by the conflicting re-
ports respecting the state of health Of the En-
peror Napoleon proves the Importance attached
to his existence and policy. Even the Grand
Empereur, In his palmest days, when defying
the combined armed forces of Europe, could
not have elected a more profound public in
terest. The diplomatic policy of the present
Emperor is now beyond doubt far more pow
ertul in its effects than the armed policy OF his
uncle. The people of Europe have lately felt
that there is one power in the existence of
which they are all vitality interested, and that
even temporary indispositi0n Of its chief can
cause shade of depression to fall upon them.
Although now sufficiently recovered to justify
the supposition that he may yet live for some
years to come, the sentiments recently ex-
pressed have shown that the preservation of
his life is essential to the preservation of the
peace of France and the peace of Europe. 1t
may truly be said that never in the annals of
history has the life of one man been felt to be
Of such importance in maintaining the political
equilibrium in Europe as that of Napoleon III.
When the French nation was convinced of the
many official misstatements that had been cir
culated it naturally magnilied the evil. Then
arose the perplexing question, "Should the
Emperor die or remain in6rm what would
be the consequence ?" In either case
who could effectively take up the reins Of
government during the crisis that must inevi-
tably follow? The system of reform now
in progress in France rendered the situation
still more perplexing. The nation was making
one supreme effort to alleviate the burden of
the immense responsibility that was felt to be
too much for one alone to bear. The change
from the reign of personal power to that of
constitutional power was being mutually ar
ranged between the people and the chief of
the State. Formerly during such crisis re-
course might probably have been had to arms
on the part of the people, but now, in our
present advanced state of civilization, the peo-
pie have felt the necessity of peace at all costs.
One great point in the policy Of the Emperor
is doubtless the question of his dynasty, and
he has good sense enough to know that it may
be more firmly secured by cooperating with
the nation than by any other forcible measures.
The amnesty granted on August 15 to all
convicted members Of the public press in
France was decidedly great conquest. To
certain extent the French press can be COM
pared to our common Mother Eve-forbid it
any given thing and its endeavors to secure it
will never cease. BY treating its puny attacks
with silent contempt, however, the charm
is lost and here the Emperor has proved his
sagacity. Even the personal sarcasms of the
Rappel and the Lanterne will lose their charm.
However, duly considering all points, it is to
be hoped that the Emperor may be spared to
France until his present policy is firmly con-
summated, and it may yet be verified that

A WAR CLOUD IN THE EAST. The refusal
of the Viceroy of Egypt to comply promptly
with the terms Of settlement between his
Highness and the Sultan which were en-
braced in the second letter addressed to him
by the Grand vizier Of Turkey has provoked
most violent newspaper attack on his action
and policy in Constantinople. The Official
organ Of the Grand vizier assails him in no
measured terms, and particularly for his pro-
posal to refer the matters in dispute to an arbi-
trament by the European Great Powers. The
dismissal Of the viceroy Is demanded. He
must either accept vassalage or revolt.
Which will he dop There Ia war cloud in
the East which IL likely to burst with violence,

DEALERS IN COUNTERFEIT MoNEY.-A gang
of counterfeiters have been discovered at work
along the line Of the Erie Railroad. Their
operations have been carried on for some time
with great skill, secrecy and success, and the
country towns and villages on either side of
the line for miles back have no doubt been
stocked with the worthless stuff that these
scoundrels managed to exchange for the genu-
inc greenbacks-the hard earned savings Of the
residents and Of the country farmers and
dealers. There Is an epidemic in crimes Of
various grades, and it spreads with great ra-
pidity and virulence under certain circum-
stances The counterfeiters along the
line of the Erie Railroad, the swim
diers who go the gambling envelope
dodge, in the city and country, and the
Wall street tricksters, whose late exploits
throw into the shade all previous efforts to ac-
complish a gigantic fraud, are all the same
stock and liable to be affected with the family
disease at one and the same time. After the
late sudden eruption of swindle and fraud we
may have healthy spell among the fraternity,
during which it would be well to devise means
to eradicate the evil altogether and not trust to
another outbreak.

Envelope and Gift Enterprise Gamblers.
The operations of the envelope gamblers
continue to prosper no understanding all the
efforts used to put them down. The modus
operandi of the swindle has been 80 repeatedly
exposed that the wonder is any sane person at
the present day can be deceived by the fraud
Still we read in the reports of proceedings in
the Mayors office that complaints are made
there every day by parties enticed into the
''gift enterprise" dens, and who, after being sub
jected to course Of legerdemain, voluntarily
stake their money on an apparent swindle. 1t
is only after they emerge into the light of day
from these dens that the glamour by which
they were surrounded becomes disspated and
they realise the fact that they have been
grossly cheated. Not more than one out of
every ten Of the dupes has time or inclination
to seek redress in the right quarter, so that
the game pays the swindlers prosper, grow
rich, and, after little time, engage with their
worthy congeners in Wall street in swindles of
more extensive character.
The post Office envelope gift swindle, which
was so extensively carried on some time ago
by mail, was squelched by the Postmaster of
this city Selling for few successive nights the
whole correspondence of the suspected parties
The case was brought into the United States
courts and the act Of the Postmaster In Selling
and opening the correspondence, and which led
to the prosecution Of the parties. was sus-
tanned, and the parties themselves mulcted in
fines. This put stop to the post office enve-
lope fraud but the more open and fragrant
swindle enacted in our most populous streets,
and under the eyes of our Metropolitan Police,
still aourishes, and the swindlers, except in
some solitary cases where they are compelled
to disgorge their ill-gotten gains, go unwhipt
! Of justice.

HEBREW IMMuGRATIoN.-It is reported that
the Israelites in San Francisco have organized
an immigration society for the purpose of
assisting persons of their faith In Europe to
come to this country. This, we think, is well.
The Israelites prosper in this great and free
country In no country in the world, since
they lost their own land, have they found so
much of a homo as they have found here.
They make good, peaceful, prosperous cid-
zens. We have no reason to object to large
Jewish immigration. In some parts of
Europe, in Roumania particularly, their condl-
ton is most wretched Recent legislation in
the Principalities has revived the experience
of the captivity in Babylon and the bondage
in Egypt Prince Charles has promised to
exert himself to ameliorate their condition
but Prince Charles is a constitutional ruler
and not above law. 1t is the feeling of the
people, not the power of the Prince, that makes
the Jew miserable on the banks of the Danube.
Let our rich Israeltes bring their oppressed
brethren to this new land of promise. Here, at
least, they will be free men, and milk and
honey will not be found wholly wanting.
