Last nights dispatches from BcrliD indicated
rupture in the German Cabinet and the re-
tirement of Bismarck. One Of the members OF
Parliament was arrested last week rather sum-
marily, and the proceeding gave rise 10 great
deal of indignation 10 that body, and was re-
sented as violation of its rights and privileges
Ga Monday Parliament held discussion of the
subject, and 90 Wednesday adopted a reso|u-
ton declaring that an amendment to the Con-
stitution was necessary to protect members from
arrest. At this Bismarck took exceptions and
threatened to resign. The latest dispatch from
Berlin says it is positively asserted that Bis
marck rendered his resignation, which was re-
fused. He afterwards conferred with leaders OF
the National party regarding the future con-
duct of affairs in Parliament, and an under
standing was secured.

The Richmond correspondent OF the Peters-

So are Judge Henry ". Thomas Senator from
Fairfax and President pro TEN OF the Senate,
and DR.. w. D. Quesenberry, Senator from
Caroline. There is feeling prevailing among
Senators that as the Lieut., Governor is to be
presiding officer of the Senate one of their
number ought to be taken. The House will
pay 20 respect to this sentiment. No south

Ohio river by the construction of dams. Last

cheney of system Of improvement of rivers by
the erection of dams. The question of voting
money Tor Internal improvements again came
up before the Committee on Railways and
