BISMARCK AND F0N ARNIM.

The Imprisonment of von Arnim, and hiE
dogged refusal to surrender the documents il
his possession at the command Of Bismarck, il
but the elimination Of conflict which began
aoveral years ago between tie two statesmen
The German public first became aware OF the
struggle TINT Was going on between them after
the downfall of Thiers- Won Arnim was charged
with having accorded sympathy to MacMahon
to which the latter was not entitled from Ger
man representative. Bismarck was dissatisfied
with Won Arpim's course in the promiaes- Mac-
A1nhon, Germans claim, is not friendly to the
German Empire, and il doing, and was disposed
to d. little for the cause Of peace. From
this time the ndherents both of Bis
marck and Won Arnim began polemical
warfare. Won Arni 8 q course during the aes-
sion Of the Vatican Council, while he represented
the German Empire At Rome, was naao tho sub
jcct Of debate. Tho contest between the two
ended in the publication of official documents on
both sides, but especially Of report made by
Ton Arnirn while Minister. The punishment Of
this last ind1screet act of Won Amin was his re-
moeal from the position OF Ambassador to France.
He endeayored to obtain an audience from the
Emperor in order to justify his SOURCE. The
audience WIS refused.
Von Arnim's friends claim for him that he is
the only man likely to supplant Bismarck They
say that he was tue first to appreciate the full
bearing OF the Council, and to recommend that
measures should be taken to guard the Empire
against the encroachmeDts Of clerical power
Bismarck is blamed for having considered the
Council trivial matter in the beginning. Won
Arnim wished tha German Government 10 bring
it's influence to bear OF the German Biahops while
1e VAS 1t Rome, and prevent tho adoption OF
did not oppose the passage Of the dogma. The
result Was that the conflict between the Church
and the Empire became inevitable. Bianarck's
friends answer that, however true this may be,
the idea WAS not original with Won Arnim, aud
that, besides, the Prouiers policy toward the
Church has proved the best in the end. Tho
more this matter WAS discussed, the greater grew
the breach between the tvo Since the lattor's re-
moyal from Paris, it has boon confidently ex-
pectad that be would eudeayor to rctaiato on
Bismarck. It Was widely rumored, too, that =
work entitled 'The Revolution from Above"
Was soon to be published, and that it would con-
tain matter very damaging to Bismarck. Sugpi-
cion rested on Won krni1n. Certain official
documents were found missing from the archives
Of tho Embassy OF Paria. It Was supposed that
Won Arniu had appropriated them, with the in
tention Of giving them to tho public. Hence
the arrest and imprisonment, and the search
instituted by Bismarck for the missing papers,
with the history Of which the public are already
familiar. The whole moral OF the affair seems
70 be that Bismarck wants to chow to German
that etfciAl documents Cannot b

las been selected by tho Republicans to help

friends. In the Twentieth Ward the Repub-
licans have practically dropped their own resu-
lar candidate, and have nominated John Corco-
ran. the present Alderman, who was Alike
McDouald's candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Sheriff. Failing to get that, the gam
blers have nominated him for Alderman.

The task OF discriminating between these canli-
dates rests With the voters Of tbs several wards,
who are presumed to know the men. There is
too much dependent on the character Of the
members Of the Common Council to warrant any
voter in adherine to mere party nominations
when the public interest may be promoted BY
voting otherwise. A year ago, the people OF the
Eleventh Ward rejected tho man Walsh, and it
is to be hoped for the character OF the city, that
they will do the game now. His election would
be disgrace to the city.
We have attempted no detailed criticism Of the
candidates. because the great majority Of them
are strangers to us ; it is the people Of the sew
e1al wards who must discriminate, and it is to be
hoped they will do 60 fearlessly. Even when
this is done. there will be ample cause to fear
that the character of the Common Council has
not been improved.

FROM CUBA,

New YORK, July 3O.-The Cubans here
have received news by way of Havana to the
effect that the patriot troops have destroyed a
number of plantations in Trinidad Valley, and
the planter are abandoning their property
there for fear Of being captured, and because
the Spanish Government cannot give the
necessary protection.
The President Of the Cuban Republic has
ordered Capt. Carpio to destroy everything he
can lay hands on.
Caboo, the negro Captain. at the head of a
number OF emancipated negroes, is in the
neighborhood OF Cienfuegos, wrecklng plan
tations and enlisting slaves and coolies INTO
the patriot ranks.
A general uprising Of the negroes under
Caoba is daily expected. The Cubans have
captured several military maps of the Trocha,
which show the position OF the forts, pitfalls,
pickets, stations, etc.
