Bismarck.

One OF the mos. graphic, and probably one
Of the most accurate descriptions Of the per
sc,.al manners of Prince Bismarck is the fol
lowing by gentleman who has recently taken
stock Of the man: "The portrait has pecu-
Liar interest at the present moment. says this
writer. ''The mightiest statesman il the
world is a tall, bald man, with some white
hair. He wears military uniform to please
old William. but he best likes looser drapery.
The man is very upright, very strong, very
affab!e, and SO wonderfully elastic in his
movementsthat he might beta ken for an India
rubber man. He looks in robust health till
examined closely, and then an observer begins
to notice painful spasms and contractions of
the face, which reveal over-exhausted nerves
In manner he is rollicking overbearingman.
Wife, children and friends stand in awe Of him.
He will not even listen to remonstrances, still
less to contradiction Strides over his enemies
and acquaintance, nodding to the latter as he
puts his foot on the former. The man is of
giant appetite for work and food. He eats
Old sausages and black bread. served without
q tab,e-cloth, for breakfast. His dinner is of
mighty meals in plenty, washed down or foated
in large goblets Of strong Burgundy. He
smokes and works and talks pczpetually. His
home is like a volcano in constant eruption.
His secretaries cannot stand his work long;
they are obliged to give in from sheer ex-
haustion. Prince Bismarck is very funny
when pleased, very formidable, very rash, very
imprudent at all times. He is not farsight-
ed man, or he would not have rushed into
war so abruptly. He is rather an astonished
man, who has become mighty in spite Of er-
rors, and who believes that everything may
be done BY courage and opportunity. He is,
SO to say, man who has stunned himself
with his own noise and who keeps on brawl-
ing because it seems to bewiider people and
make everybody shat their ears and give in to
him :"

TIE ARREST OF KELLOGG, LONG
STREET, BADGER AND DIBBLE.

| Both the Picaylne and Tsses seem con-
siderably exercised about the telegram from
this city to the New York Herald, Announcing
the tact that aft iaviss had been prepared for
the arrest Of Kellogg, Longstreet Badger.
Dibble and other Radical leaders.
The Picoyune says ...=.
In reference to the foregoing dispatch, q
Picayune reporter yesterday interviewed sew
eral well-known Conservative leaders and
| members of the Democratic State Central
! Committee, who authorized him to contradict
| it unqualifedly.
The affair never came up before the COM
mittee, and if it received any consideration at
all at the hands OF individuals it WAS in a
purely conversational way
Several lawyer members of the committee
were heard to say that Kellogg and his con-
freres were indictable under the law for their
| actions, which eliminated on the 14th of Sep
TENDER in the loss of life, but beyond this no
action whatever was taken or contemplated.
We fail to find any Conservative leaders
who know CT ever heard Of such proceedings
| as are set forth in the above New Orleans dis
patch.
The Times indnlges in the following:
In the Associated Press dispatches sent to
city journals was one which We regarded Of
too serious import to be published without a
proper investigation Of the facts. It was
therefore withheld from our evening edition,
and it is now produced because We are pre-
pared to announce fat contradiction Of the
wild and injurious report
Last night q representative OF the Times
called upon the Hon. r. Fl. Mari in regard
to the foregoing dispatch, and inquired of him
what truth, if any, there was in il. MI. Mari
said the dispatch had very properly been
withheld by the Times, and he authorized us
to state that he had never heard of the propo-
sitions mentioned in the dispatch to the Her.
GH-that he did not believe there was one
word Of truth in them and that if any such
plans were or had been contemplated, it was
highly improbable tnat he ahould be ignorant
concerning them. =
We are sorry to spoil this bit q enterprise.

I We direct attention - An Important e0lSO
rial copied from . recent number Of the New
York Times. We think it our duty to repub-
! lish this editorial at . time like this It is Of
paramount importance to Us that Louisiana
shall be properly understood at home and
abroad. Certainly there il nothing more i'm
portant TO man. singly or in the aggregate.

! was right when he asked for the power to see
ourselves as others see Us.
But Louisiana has been throughout the VIC
tim Of Misrepresentation, misconception and
misinterpretation, and one hard feature OF
our struggle has been to make her position
properly understood
The Times commits some grave errors in
stating our case, and it is our duty 10 point TO
them:
l. There is not an honest man IN Louisiana
who does not abhor the Louisiana Levee Bill
and Company and everything connected there
with
e The Louisiana Levee Bill was not con-
eocted by "a combination Of Republican and
Democratic politicians" but BY set Of ut
terly irresponsible ond uninduential carpet
baggers ond scalawags The list is open to
all who want to see. and not Democratic
politician i. on it.
8 Neither John Henderson nor Duncan f.
Kenner, respectively President and Vice Presi-
dent of the present Board Of Directors, are
prominent Democrats, ".or leaders Of this
people, nor could either of them be under any
circumstances. Mr.. Henderson never has had
any polisical status here, and has never re-
ceived at the hands Of the people position
which entities him to the prefix "Hon.,"
conferred BY the Times. Mr. Kenners politi-
cal influence is a thing Of that past which lies
beyond the election Of Warmoth in 1868.
1. Mr.. Kenner was not placed in the position
Of Chairman of the Conference Committee by
the Democratic party, or By the people. The
said committee was entirely selfconstituted,
and never ernanated from the people.
S. Neither Mr.. Henderson nor Mr. Kenner
are !'the men who led an attempt to over
throw the party in power as the oppressors Of
the State" They had nothing to do with that
attempt" though they do represent COM
pany who are strictly regarded as "oppres-
sors of The people.

I'M FRUITS OF THE 14rH OF SZPTK1BHD.
It would not be too much to say that kel
logg. of his own resources, cannot at this mo
ment command respect or enforce obedienc
in the most insignificant local emergency.
The man seems absolutely powerless. Il
election matters he meets with certain quas
recognition, because the white people are AK
ious to vote, and will accept any measure T.
that end; but in nothing else that can dis
cover does his authority rise to the dignity O
substance. The true explanation OF all taif
is to be found in fact which people at dis
lance cannot readily comprehend; that fact ii
his total lax of support and respect among
the negroes I have already endeavored t.
describe the peculiar relations existing between
the two races in this State. Their mutual con
fideuce and goodwill in everything but poll
tics constitute an anomaly and mystery almost
hopeless OF solution at first glance.
But the 14th OF September, the great en-.
lightener and diviner, though by mysterious
method, resolved the problem. con see
new that the negroes have always believed the
whites wished to re-enslave them; that their
rights would be taken from them the moment
the whites got into power; that their very lives
depended on their maintaining Republican
rule aud perpetuatng the lease Of carpet
baggery. Kellogg's gang lived BY this. 1t
was their first object to impress 1t on the
minds of the negroes, and accession to Office
followed as natural consequence. The 18th
of September revealed this policy and
at the same time undermined it It
is q remarkable fact here in the city,
as we'll as throughout the country
parishes, the accession of the whites to power
was distinguished by the most scrupulous and
and conspicuous kindness toward the negroes.
During the two days in which they held abso-
lutte control of New Orleans, and similarly
everywhere in the country, there was not a
single act of violence or demonstration of
enmity. The negroes were surprised at this,
but gradually realized its truth and meaning,
and their Indifference to Kellogg and con-
tempt for his representatives.. as now devel-
oped, spring wholly from that realization.
They learned, through the medium Of the
14th OF September, what no argument or as
surance would ever have taught them, aid
the fruit Of this lesson has been quick in its
coming.
The address of the colored Leaders, embody-
ing strong bill Of complaint against and dis
with Kellogg was result, and the
feeling which inspired that address has been
greatly intensified by Kelloggs removal from
office OF two of the signers OF the address
The rioteus proceedings, the threats and other
demonstrations of dislike which greeted his
appearance in the negro convention two days
sgo are not to be mistaken, any more than is the
apathy everywhere shown by them as regard
ng the misfortunes OF his Government and the
Derils and calamities Detailing his officials.
