COUNT Won ARNIM.

The conduct of Prince Bismarck in causing the
arrest Of Count Won Arnim is apparently harsh
and despotic. 1t may be apparently only, for the
great chancellor has long been engaged in an
arduous strug lie, involving, as he, whether
rightfully or gully believes, the very exist
ence Of the empire it has virtually required the
| blood and treasure Of three wars-the Danish,
the Austrian and the French-to but partially
upon Its foundationss. In this wrestle, with all
the power of great historic Church arrayed
against him, Count Won Arnim has lately been q
bitter opponent. He had been sent to
the fall of 1871, and as soon as
the sembance of Government was established
in France he was accredited as the German En-
| bassador. In this position at so difficult juno
ture, the whole world, the Prussan authorities
included spoke in the highest terms Of the abili-
ty aud sauoi- fare with which Won Arnim played
his part in the negotiations which accompanied
and followed the conclusion of peace. Some time
highly esteemed by the Emperor and the Prince.
Soon after his arrival there were evident signs OF
the intrigue by which it was proposed to drive
Bismarck from power and install Won Manteuffel
in his place. The campaign against the
/, at once opposed his former leader. For .
time the final issue OF the contest was doubtful
The Emperor began to hesitate, and the Crown
Primo has never been an adherent OF the Chan
cellor. Bismarck, however, won the battle. but
for while there was percep,ible lull in the
anti-Papal policy OF the Empire. Again the
Count entered the service OF the State. This
time in one Of the bureaus Of the capital, but
his resolution 81 ems to have been undaunted,
and ne published pamphlet somewhat violently
assailing the whole legislation upon the subject
of civil marriages and the principles upon which
it was based. Emperor and Chancellor were
alike indignant, and Won ArDim retired from his
post.
For further particulars of trustworthy char
acter pertinent to this celebrated quarrel in its
last denoue,neM we must probably wait for some
days. but it seems probable that the late Embas-
few of the motives and incidents of the policy
OF the Chancellor ever since their relations had
assumed so intimate a complexion in Septem-
Der, 1871. To this, of course, there must have
been objections upon the other side OF the high
est importance primarily to the Administration,
and secondarily to the State; and the publ
cation and inconvenience it is evidently
a settled purpose to resist with something, it
necessary, even beyond the extreme OF the
utmost rigor of the law. But it must be remem-
bered that Bismarck himself, in the last four
years. has given diplomatic secrets to the world.
1t was he who furnished the London Times with
q copy of the draft Of the treaty prepared by Ben
eletti for the Joint Franco German spoliation Of
Belgium and Holland. This was followed by a
similar course pursued by an Italian General and
statesman, bitterly resented by Bismarck, and
this again by narrative by French attache OF
the secrets attending the final arrangements for
qulrer.
A new middle in Louisiana has arisen out
OF the address of the Conservative State Com
mittee, which has provoked Gov Kellogg to
make the reply telegraphed from New Orleans
and printed this morning. He accuses the
Conservative Committee of ripping open old
sores, and disappearing his own action.
We do not see that his reply has any tendency
to produce the harmony which he processes to
desire. The arrangement agreed on in the
conference was not intended to silence politi-
cal discussion, but only to secure a fair cleo
ton and an honest counting Of the votes.
The McEnery party and the Kellogg party
remain as free to expose and denOunce each
other as if no such announcement had been
made. It is ridiculous and childish for Kel-
logg to complain that he continues to be criti-
clsed by the Conservatives 1t is an election
that is to take place, not compromise. One
party or the other will be out-voted, and each
is entitled to use all the customary weapons of
political warfare. Neither has bound itself to
relinquish any other advantage than the dis
honest one of cheating at the polls. Kellogg
is very foolish in claiming exemption from the
ordinary attacks made on public officers by
their political opponents.-N Y. Herald, Of

Georgia is having trouble with its railroads
on account of an enactment which repeals the
old law levying tax on the net income, and
replaces it by levying tax on the gross assets
of the various companies. No taxes have yet
been paid under the new law, though due on
the 1st of October, and executions have been
issued against various roads. Gen. Robert
Toombs is associate counsel on behalf of the
State against the railways, and charges nothing
