BIsMARcK's DREAD OF THE CONCEALED PAPERS.
The reason oftnIs second arrest is alleged 10 be
that Count Arnlm has prohted by his liberty to
take steps for the publication CT state papers in
his possession, and moreover that he Is person
ally required 10 present himself again for exami-
nation before Judge Pescatore, who appears TO be
really conducting the case OF Prince Bismarck
while ostensibly appointed TO pronounce judi
cial decision upon It. Such Is the reason alleged
for the cruel and arbitrary act just perperated
Berlin; but the real cause which seems TO have
led up to IL would be laughable II the whole story
were not OF too grim . nature to suggest humor-
Gus aspects OF II.
THE PRINCE CHANCELLOR NERVOUS AND UNHAPPY.
IL appears, however, that on the afternoon OF
his second arrest Count Arnim and his wife took
drive in an open carriage in the Tniergarten,
or public park or Berlin. where they had the mis-
fortune to meet Prince Bismarck, who was dis
pleased with the festivity OF their appearance
and said that .'if the Count was well enough to
drive about he was we'll enough to 60 back to JAIL"
have told the story, and l can voucn tor Its
truth. People may now smile or sigh over it a.
they please and as smiles are more becoming
than signs, perhaps some few may smile.
TEMPORARY FREEDOM
Whether Prince Bismarck has, nevertheless
been made sensible that he has acted In manner
aL once fierce and ridiculous or not, cannot say
but on Saturday, the 14th inst, Count Arnim was
released FROM the custody OF the police, by order
OF the City Court OF Berlin. But the Count has
had to give his word OF honor that he Will not
leave his house before the day OF his trial. although
physicians have certified that fresh air and ex-
ercise are Indispensable to him. The motives for
this queer act OF severity are unknown. or un-
avowed, and 1t looks very much like
KILLING 4 MAN BY INCHES
Moreover. the sad and deplorable truth seems to
be that Prince Bismarck. who continues to exer.
else absolute power IN Prussia, is really afflicted
with morbid sort OF restlessness Quarrelling
has become a necessity or existence TO him, and
IS he has been Tor some time trying in vain to
bring about another war abroad, and both France
and Denmark have declined TO give him the small
est pretext Tor recommending hostilties. he has
been obliged to content himself with private and
personal dispute at home The Won Arnim case
is not one which IN the smallest degree concerns
the interests OF Germany. Every incident Of it Is
merely practical joke OF Prince Bismarck, and
the whole business seems to have been got up
solely for his entertainment.

on the stan OF General Blinker, who subsequently
fought In the war OF the American rebellion on
the Union side, and took q most active part IN
field and council operations He was with
BiinSer at the famous stormlng OF the fortified
town OF Landau. He also acted as civil com.
missioner during the provisional govern

tion drove him to Swltzerland; bui
from there he was ariyen on the advent OF Na,
poleon Ill. and finally brought up In Newark,

ever SINCE, supporting himself and family IN
rather precarious Way, hrst by teaching and then
writing Tor German newspapers. AT one time ne
acted as city editor OF the New York StaatS Zea-
tutg, and Tor many years past has edited various
German newspapers in Newark and other places
in New Jersey. He was man OF
unqnestlonabie ability and erndition, and had
merted reputation as writer, but IN the busi
ness OF life was miserable failure. For several
years past his circumstances were very low, and
he llved the lie OF a misanthrope, seeming always
to be looking at the past and not the present OF
the luture. In personal appearance the Major
was very remarkable. He was very tall. veiy
sparse ana OF singular features. In manners ne
was reserved. BY many he was known As "tne
curious German Count" Those who knew him
best say ne was always better friend to Others

THE SECOND ARREST OF THE ACCUSED
There Is no truth In the reports which have been
printed in the London and other European news
papers to the effect that the charges made against
Count Won Arnim had been formally communal
Gated to him and his legal ADVISERS for the pur-
poses OF the defence. ON the contrary the
secret inquiry Is not vet closed. and
the wearisome method OF official procedure
AFFORD no glimpse OF the date when 1t IL likely to
end. On Thursday last. the 12th inst. the Coun-
Gil OF the Royal Municipal Court OF Berlin decided
that Count Arnlm should be again arrested, IN
accordance with paragraphs lS3 and 34s Of the
Criminal Code. 1t was an extraordinary decision,
because the Count had only been liberated few
days previously on sick certlncates, and bail TO
the amount OF $4,000 had been deposited with
the Court for his temperance when called up for
judgment. Nevertheless, about seven O'Clock In
the evening, when the ex.An.bassador was at
dinner, Police Inspector Borman entered the
Counts house, In the Pariser Platz at Berlin, and
presented the warrant for his arrest.
PAINFUL SCENE IN A PRIVATE DoNIcfLE
The scene which then ensued was one OF the
most painful description. The Count, who Is really
in shattered health, was seized with a 6t OF trem-
bling at the unexpected shock to his nerves, and
the heroic 6rmness which the Countess Arnim
has hitherto manifested during her husbands
troubles deserted her. AS soon they had par
tally recovered their composure Count Won Arnim
informed the Police Inspector that he was physi-
caly unable to go with him TO prison. He said
that ne had no Intention 70 resist the Law, but ir
was simply Impossible for him TO obey 1t In his
present condition. Under these Distressing cir
cumsrances Police Inspector Borman had no other
course open to him than that OF summonng the
physicians OF the Court to examine Count Arnm
and to certify whether he could or could not be
taken back to Jail without imminent danger to his
lie.

in number to Virginia, come Tennessee, Missis-

Virginia Creditors.

Gov. Kemper and State Treasurer. r. III. T
Hunter, have issued the following circular tc
the creditors of Virginia. We confess that it
looks rather humiliating, after repudiating one
third OF the State debt, and funding the other
two-thirds another effort has become necessa-
1y to satisfy the creditors of the State. Failure
to comply with the terms OF the funding bill,
in funding the interest contracted for, is the
cause. In a matter SO vitality affecting the
States interest, as the maintenance Of her cred
it, we do not feel like indulging in harsh criti-
cisms as to past derelictions. We can only ex-
press the honest and earnest hope that the all-
thorized agents of the commonwealth will be
able to satisfy the foreign and home creditors,
that the debt will be paid, and that resources
are available that will do it.
The circular reads as follows:
'sTo the creditors of Virginia; Pursuant to
authority vested in the Governor and Treasurer
by a joint resolution of the General Assembly
of Virginia, approved April aoth, 1874, we in

day, the 10th day of November next, between
all the creditors OF the State, home and for

''The object Of the conference is to effect
such exact and authentic understanding of the
resources and liabilities of Virginia. and to con-
slider such propositions for final agreement be-
tween the parties interested as will afford the
best, attalnahle security for the rights and in
