The Health of the Emperor Napoleon
The Peace of Europe.

Rumors are again afoat regarding the
health of the Emperor Napoleon, 1t is said,
says the New York Herald, that he has had
return of his former illness. The rumor,
of course, has been 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, how
ever, that in spite of the contradiction there
is very general conviction that the Emper
or's health is not sound, nor can it be said
the conviction is ill.founded The opinion
prevails that, while the Emperor may live
for many years, his death within briefpe
Rod would not be surprise.
This fresh rumor of his being i'll yeyirsi
question in which we are all more or@
deeply nterested-whether the pear OF
Europe and the world would not be seriously
imperilled by his death. 1t is undenIaOe
that certain great national and social I'M
pulses are held in check mainly by him.
The German races would be a unit to NOR
row but for the opposition which is given
to such union by the chief of the French
nation. The smouldering elements OF reVo'
luton which are known to exist in Eastern
Europe would burst forth but for the com
binatiofi of which Napoleon is the Hea"
Centre. Soon as Napoleon is gone the Hun
garian empire will take the place OF INT
Austrian empire, and the German races VIII
consolidate under the imperial rule oil ln'
Hohenzollerns. Russia will become more
impprious, and, taking her little sis'u
Greece by the hand, will reinstate her ln'"
something of her former greatness. =.
There arc, besides, social questions when
command attention far beyond the limits o.
any nationality which in then
development comprise European confratf,
nifty, alike indifferent to the distinctions Oh
nations and to the distinctions OF classes
These revolutions will not be accomplished
without much COMMENCEMENT, we lear
without large sacrifices of blood anil treas,
urc That these forces do not command
more attention now is due mainly to 'l''
fact that the strong repressive hand OF tD',
Emperor is upon them. That hand weaker
ed, or removed by death, an explosion may
be looked for. - sls--E Az
This it is which explains the recent M
duct of the great Powers. 1t is well undefN
stood that Great Britain, Prussia, Russia
and Austria, on the occasion of the Empe
ror's last Illness assured him of their sym
pathy, and, at the same time, of their
determination to support the claims of his
son. The Bonaparte dynasty, it is felt, is
the best protector of thrones. The death of
the Emperor would be severe blow to tho
interests of royal families. 1t would lie
loose the " fierce democratic" The ques
tion is whether the son of Napoleon viii
have any restraining power.

Untrue.

We learn from unquestionable authority
that the report Which appeared in the Senti-
mel of last week, of an outrage committed
by colofed militiamen was wholly untrue
But one house was visited, and the inmates
were all dressed and none were in any man.
ner molested. But three men went to the
house, and but two of the three entered.
All persons were treated courteously. The
militia went to the house in pursuit of a
man who is believed to have escaped from
the house disguised as female. The report
OF any improper occurrence is unfounded in
every particular. Should the militia oever
exceed their duty, and do wrong, no ons
will condemn them more strongly than our-
self, or work harder to have them punished,
But until something wrong is really done

To our Northern exchanges have been
receiving false reports about colored militia
being sent to war against the Ku Klux of
Orange and Chatham counties, We say that
such reports are entirely unfounded, and
were probably intended to influence North

militia have been sent to any county in the
State, and no colored militia is being organ.

thirty colored militia on duty in this county
twenty at one place and ten at another

The Sentinel is fully aware that its party
has no chance of attaining power so long
as the Republican party is united. Hence
it is endeavoring to create divisions in
our ranks, and to set native and adopted
citizens at odds. Its tricks and its motives
are too transparent, and its little game won't
work. There are no divisions in the Re-
publican party, and it will always be united
in its opposition to the sham Democracy.

The New York elections have been ca
ried ny the Democrats. This result was net
at all unexpected. Their majority, howevG,
was but about 5000, while their estimated
frauds In New York city alone amount to
Io,ooo votes. Gen. Sigel ran ahead of his
ticket several thousand votes, while Greeley
ran behind in the country, although ahead
IN the city. The election not being for
Governor or Congressman, but only for
e'ate officers, amounts to nothing as pc.

from the Philadelphia Inquirer. In speak

reached point at which the forbear-
ance of Governor Holden has ceased to be q
virtue. 1t is his plain duty to preserve law
