ESPECIAL CABLE DESPATCH TO THE HERALD
The following highly interesting special
despatch sent to our London Office by one of
the intimate friends of the imprisoned Count.
Arnim lifts at last the veil from this myste-
rious conflict which has SO astonished the
world, and will give the readers of the HERALD
q clear insight into the intrigue Of which
Berlin is now the scene -
LONDON, Oct. &c, 1874.
THE ORIGIN OF THE CONFLICT.
'It is generally known that soon after the
departure of Count Arnim from Paris the
Berlin Foreign Office asked him to restore
certain papers which were missing from the
archives Count Arnim declared that por-
ton of these papers were his private property,
which he would not surrender; another por-
ton, however, he returned to the archives.
Arnim was unable to say anything about the
missing of the remainder of those papers.
AS the search of the archives which resulted
in the discovery that papers were missing was
only instituted several weeks after Arnim's de-
parture the possibility presented itself that
these papers had meanwhile been abstracted,
in one way or another, from the archives of
the Legation. The consequence was violent
letter-war between Bismarck and Arnim.
B1sMARcK's NnucAL POLICY.
Bismarck pretended to find meaning in
every one of Arnim's reports which the
latter had never intended to convey, and
found thus convenient pretext for repeatedly
rebuking him in an exceedingly harsh man
ner. He was thus easily enabled to reproach
Arnim with having pursued policy different
from that of the Chancellor of the Empire. It
will be interesting to learn the grounds on
which this reproach can be based. It appears
that Bismarck was afraid that the hostile let
ters which had passed between him and Arnim
might be published, and there was perhaps
some justification for this belief. The cor
respondence would have clearly demonstrated
to the whole world how Bismarck really
acted in this matter, and how the
strangely colored reports in regard to this
correspondence came to reach the Emperor
II is just this part of the correspondence
which Arnim refuses to deliver. He is
strengthened in this position by the general
usage which regards documents containing
the censure Of superiors as private letters,
even though it be conveyed in an official form,
and renders it thus matter Of no importance
whether they be placed among the official
files or not, and also by declaring that he re-
quires them for his own justification.
ARNIM's DEFENCE
OF course the very nature Of the affair for
bids public defence in the newspapers, and
it must be laid before the Emperor himself
as the sole and highest judge As the EN-
peror, according to Arnim, had really never
learned from Bismarck the true facts of the
case, every one can easily imagine how highly
Bismarck must prize the possession Of the
documents which Arnim refuses to surrender
wErGHrx DOCUMENTS.
They enable Arnim to prove that Bismarck
censured him without the slightest reason,
aud strengthen the susnicion that the En-
