the whole. What has now happened
might very we'll occur agaiu. and Prussia
might tlnd herself in a predicament oil
haVlng been out voted on the sole and
much more momentous question than
the present one by petty priDciDalities and
oukedoms, even when seconded by one or
two Kingdoms. To obvlate therefore such
an untoward contingency was unquestion-
aoly the aim of the Chancellor.
It is considered certain that Bundles
rath will reconsider the bill passed by
that body imposing imperial stamp duties.
and will agree with the views of Bismark.
Ihe statement that Bismark rendered his
resignation three days ago, and that upon
the Emperor's refusal 10 accept it he
rendered it again on the ground of i'll
health. IS un:ounded. Bismarck only
rendered his resignation yesterday. The
decision OF the Emperor regarding the
resignation is not yet made known.
The Times Berlin dispatch says; On
all hands 1t IS not for a moment doubted
that Rismark will succeed in carving his
point, and in an interview to which he was
summoned by the Emperor. he doubtless
neard enough to induce him to withdraw
his resignation. The rules applying to
voting oy proxy in the Bundesrath may
DE modified. though there seems to be no
intention OF otherwise changing the con-
sututlon. ln view of the determined at
ttude OF Bismarck the Bundesrath will
probably recall or correct its vote. while
it is said the wrath of Bismark will not
be wholly appeased without a sacrifc of
certain high officials.
