Quite stir was created on our

the announcement that several eiti-
Zens OF prominence had b. IN arrest

upon their alleged discharge of cer-
tain colored men in their employ
because ola refusal to vote the Dem
ocratic or Conservative ticket.
Among those arrested was Mr.. Har-
Yey of the firm OF Ely, Harvey Il
richardson, who, upon being requir-
ed 10 give t0nd for costs, offered
as security his partner, Mr.. Rich
ardson, a gentleman of means, and
good commercial standing. Mr..
Richardson was not allowed to 90
on his bond, and upon his declaring
his inability 80 give any that he con.
sidered BETTER, Mr.. Harvey was re-
leased without bond, and notified TO
appear at the United States Court
room this morning at nine o'clock.
The other gentleman upon whom
notices of arrest were served were
ordered 90 appear at the same time

till the 18th of September, when he
came on to give n dinner at the White

at once to Long Branch, but in the

induced the President to consent to
stay here long enough to put kellogg
back in power over the heads of the
people he had so long robbed and op-
pressed. This being accomplished

Quarrel
1 have Just received the Poster
Lloyd, and on glancing over it l find
RsR RR49u ddb dbfo fogg oAgnii1 Is gs@aEek
but which embraces IA few striking
remarks. wrote you some days ago
that, if my private information upon
the subject was correct, the docu-
ments sought for we're four private
letters relating to Prince Bismarck's
difference from Arnim on matters of
policy. 1t is now said that these let
ters were couched IN the most violent
terms, and that the Chancellor was
very abusive when approaching the
Ambassador for not doing his duty by
his chief. The Poster Lloyd says
that, according to the general belief
in diplomatic circles, Count Arnim is
a victim to the rGisOR d'et It, and that
there are motives for this arbitrary
arresy which do not appear, and which
the Emperor and the Prince would
both hesitate to make pOblic. And
what are these motives? We can only
conjecture, of course, what they are
likely TO be. A year or more az ,
there were rumors in France, said to
have been sent by the French diplo-
mates at Berlin, that there was con-
siderable feeling between the Empress
and Prince F4itz on the one part, and
Prince Bismarck on the other. The
Emperor sided with the Chancellor;
but his wife and son we're strongly OPP
posed 10 Bismarck's religious policy.
I heard this before going to vienna
last year, and at the hOlburg Palace l
saw the Empress Augusta 90 directly
UP to Cardinal Rouscher ana take his
hand; then Her Majesty sat down be-
side the Austrian Primat0 and re-
mained conversing with him for a long
time. Since then nothing has been
said about the Empress or Prince
Fritz, but it is 81 that both have
sided with Count Arnim, and that
the latter was about to lay his letters
before them IN order to Justify his
own policy, and to solicit their sym
pathy and aid. But this does not re-
fer to the four private letters of which
1 have spoken, at least not directly,
for they were written after the quarrel
over the religious question hau bro
ken out, and when there was bad feel
ing between the two men. The let
ters referred to the policy of Germa-
ny with respect to France. The Ber-
lin correspondent Of the Vienna New
Free Press-the same that has made
many revelations heretofore - now
gives the naked tru'h in all it's bru-
tality. lhe Prince wrote TO Conut
Arnim that he was q blind man or a
fool not to sec that Germany was not
sure of Russia, and could not count
upon her friendship, but so long as
the Republic would be maintained In
France there would be no danger of a
Franco-RusSian alliance, aud hence it
was to Germany's interest that she
should do all IN her power to encour-
age the Republicans, and TO aid them
against the Monarchists or Imperial
lists. There We have the story, think,
or the elements of il, and the main
reasons why Prince Bismarck wanted
to get hold of these letters, for, as no
copy of them exists in the embassy at
Paris, and nowhere except III the
Z Princes own copy-book, Count Arnim
could not furnish proof of his state
ments to the Empress and Prince
/ Fritz if these letters were taken from
him.

Nashville Banner: Tennessee mas -
cause to be ashamed of her newly,
chosen Congressional delegation. In
point of brains and capacity there is
not a member of the delegation who
is not considerably above mediocrity.
Many of them are men Fersed IN law
and experienced in legislation. All
but one have occupied prominent pO-
sitions in the Bar and on the Bench of
the State, and the tenth one is a sue
cessful merchant and farmer, noted
for his practical good sense. Three
of them have had considerable Con
gressional experience, and most of the
others have had experience in State
Legislative bodies in times past. On
the whole. it is a delegation, intellect
ually, above the average, and one in
whom the people may repose conf
dence, and of whom they may be
proud.

A WORD ABoUr THE LUNes.-In
nearly all cases the natural capacity
and area of the chest are sufficient for
all the uses Of respiration. But the
capacity of the chest may be dimin-
ished by the habit of STOPPING, or by
the abOminable practice of tight lac
ing. The false grace of the wasp
form in woman is almost always gain
ed at the expense of the lungs. The
tight belt and the arInor above it IA
tally congresses the air-eells, and for
bid all easy union Of the oxygen of
the air with the currents of the blood.
The lungs cannot we'll spare one
square inch, of the space which they
naturally fiji. Consumption Is the Sc
quel Of corsets. The war of hygiene
upon tight waists must be positive
and unceasing, for fashion is nothing
more destructive to human life than
this. The lungs are also injured by
being overworked, strained, or made
TO do more than any reasonable esti-
mate of their powers would allow.
