THE TRANSLATION. Bulow vs. Arnim—Struggle for the Missing State Papers—An Acrimonious Correspondence—Both Parties Invoke the Law—Arnim Inflexible. [SPECIAL CABLE DESPATCH TO THE HERALD. ] The following interesting special despatch, sent to our London bureau from the same source as that published the day before yester- day, gives as its continuation the correspond- ence which passed between Von Biilow and Count Arnim in relation to the missing docu- ments, and will be welcomed in every circle as an additional contribution to the history of this weighty controversy. Lonvon, Oct. 28, 1874. BULOW TO ABNIM, On the 6th of July Von Biilow wrote to Count Arnim from Berlin as follows :— “Since the fourteen documents which were taken from the archives of the Imperial Lega- tion in Paris have been returned through the medium of YourExcellency, Prince Hohenlihe has prepared a list of the documents still missing. The responsibility for their where- abouts rests in the first place with the former Ambassador, and hence I am compelled to demand from Your Excellency an official explanation as to your knowledge of these missing documents and the return forthwith of those still in your possession."’ ABNIM TO BULOW. Thereupon Arnim replied, under date of July 21, that, since his retirement from the diplomatic service, he had no longer the honor to hold official relations with the Foreign Office ; that any obligations arising from his former official relations were ciroumscribed by the provisions of the law; that he was at the disposition of Hii, Majesty, the Emperor, but not of the Foreign Office, and hence the latter was not in a position to demand official statements, He begged respectfully to call the attention of the Foreign Office to the fact that the docu- ments previously returned by him were not taken from the archives, and that this word was susceptible of an interpretation such as he was bound to protest against. Moreover, he declined to assume any responsibility in reference to the missing documents, ag the examination of the archives which disclosed their absence was not held until two months after his recall. As to the list itself, he was utterly ignorant ag to where a large number of the documents were, as they were: partly written during his absence and partly ad- dressed simply to attachés. A few others, | however, as he avowed, much to his regret, had been by mistake mixed up with his. private papers, and those he returned here- with. The remainder of the documents he regarded as his private property, as they explained the origin of his personal conflict with the Prince Chancellor of the Empire, and as they would also demonstrate that dur- ing his official term he had pursued no ten- dencies opposed to the policy of the Chan- cellor. SEVERE ACCUSATIONS. He might safely assert that several of these edicts would not have been written had not Bismarck supposed that he (Arnim) had en- deavored to place obstacles in the way of carrying out his policy, and had conspired with a person related as closely as possible to the Emperor. Under such severe accusations his reputation was at stake, and he required these documents for his own vindication. He believed the Foreign Office had the right to | demand a judicial decision, but that it would | be necessary to examine each of the documents in question before his claim to them could be denied in a civil suit, BULOW'S RETORT. To this communication Biilow replied on the 5th of August that officials of the Empire who were placed on waiting orders and had not received their dismissal remained under the supervision and disciplinary power of the superior authorities. The assertion that the civil tribunal should decide in regard to the missing papers was not compatible with Arnim’s former position as chief of a legation. To be sure, it might be permissible under cer- tain circumstances to keep separate certain documents, but those should always be de- to the mocessor, Qn the other han the retention of State documents by an official authorized his criminal prosecution, and as the removal of State documents in this case was virtually established Count Arnim was not liable to a civil, but toa criminal, prose- cution. ABNIM'S FINAL LETTER. On August 11 Arnim replied to this with a declaration that his view of the case had not been changed, although his private communi- cation had been treated in an official manner, and that he did not recognize the Foreign Office as his superior authority. He then quotes the laws in support of his case, cites several paragraphs, and closes with the remark that Billow’s view of the situation was erro- neous, but that he declined any further po- lemic on this point, as he was in nowise in- terested in avoiding a disciplinary or criminal prosecution. THE COUNT RELEASED. Von Arnim Released Under Bail to the Amount of One Hundred Thousand Thalers. Berum, Oct. 28, 1874 The preliminary examination of Count Von Arnim terminated yerterday. The Count was released at noon to-day, on bail, upon the advice of his physicians, and went immediately to his residence in this city. He will probably. go to Nice for the benefit of his health. THE BAT, The bail required for the release of Count Von Arnim was 100,000 thalers. The Justification of Herr Hauser, the Vienna Now Free Presse, Vienna, Oct. 28, 1874. Herr Hauser has just published a statement quoting a clause from the Austrian penal code as justifying him in his refusal to divulge the source of the revelations printed in the Presse relating to the Prussian ecclesiastical disputes. of Count Arnim’s Case as Viewed by a German Diplomatist—Prince Bismarck Justified—Possibility of an Amicable Settlement of the Difficulty. A distinguished German nobleman, who occu- pies a high rank in diplomatic circies, and wno isin @ position to knowthe real facts trom his personal acquaintance with the leading German statesmen of the day, was yesterday called upon by a repre- sentative of the HERALD in relation to the case of Count Arnim. The reporter found the diplomatist seated in the elegantly furnished parlor of an up- town hotel, where he was quietly perusing the German despatch sent to oureLondon ofMice bya friend of the imprisoned ex-Minister to France, and published in Tuesaay’s issue of this journal, There was nothing surprising in this, as the HERALD was bought by thousands of Ger- mans, who were eager to learn the very latest phase which the great diplomatic scandal had as- sumed, As soon as the German diplomatist saw the reporter he divined his errand, and said good- naturedly in his native language :— “Ab, am happy to see you. Sit down, please; I know what you have come for.” “What is that, pray?” PARAGRAPH ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-THREE OF THE GERMAN CODE. “You want to get some news about the Arnim affair. Ihave just been reading the HERALD and admiring ite enterprise in goiug to the enormous expense which this lengthy German despatch must needs have entailed. 1t seems that you get German news now sooner in New York than they get it in Berlin.” “Yes, and pray tell me what you know about this curious affair.” “Lreally know nothing. Mein Nametst Hase. (1 am ahare. This is a jocular expression, indicative ot profound ignorance.) I nave no news which you have not already published in the HERALD. How- ever, if there is anything that Ican tell you Isha be most happy, 1 am sure.” “May 1 ask you under "what Provision of the law the present prosecution against Count Arnim as been tustituted f”? “Oh, Lcan tell you that, Ba Shine aie n has been began under Ubtrs io oa) the code of the Em- pire (Reichsgesetzbuci 1do not of course re- member the exact wordlag of that paragraph of the code, but it says in substance, that if any one shall abstract or appropriate documents which do not lawfully belong to him, he shall be punishable by imprisonment. Ido not remember the maxi- mum term of imprisonment, but at the presens stage | ot the affair this ia of but secondary import- ance,” THE CASE A CLEAR ONE. “Do you consider the case against Count Arnim a clear oné t” “Undoubtedly ; the case 1s as.clear as 1t well can be. Count Arnim admits that he has abstracted— stolen is the right word—papers belonging to the State and he consequently coniesses himself ey o1 the crime with which he stands charged, and which is simply POA OpEIA HOT: of documents (Uneerschlagung). This comes directly under the Leal aby de of the code to which 1 have already alluded. aoe your view of the affair based on any prece- nts?” “Yes, any number of precedents, as far as ordi- mary cases of misappropriation of documents are concerned. It is merely an accident that no Ger- man Ambassador has ever been a culprit of such @ character, but the bearing of the law ls, of course, she same in every case. If it is a crime to musappropriate documents belong- ing to private individuals, it is cortatnly not less wrong to steal those of tne Stat to me as clear as it could poesibay b be ao not see why there is such fuss wi here.’” BISMAROK’S COURSE JUSTIFIED, “You consider Bismarck’s course as being justi- fled under the circumstances ?”” “There is not the slightest doubt about it. Why, how would any $overnment get along and main- tain diplomatic discipline if a Minister were allowed to pcerrect ites thearchives of his legation papers which he might regard necessary for is own eee order, discipine and digmity in the diplomatc service. If aman seem aeny papers he should suffer imprisonment’—da so er brui ipl ai @ junny word, which literally means only gro “And why Was he not reeaeea pending the pre- luminary Investigation ? There surely was no lear of bis running away ?” “1 do not believe that Prince Bismarck meant to treat Count Armim with any unuecessary harsh. ness, but he was probably afraid that he might, if Teleasea, have found an opportunity to remove the ti gid in question to a sale place of conceaiment, (ou see there are many considerations which en- ter into a complicated case like this and remain for a long time unknown to the public.” “Do you think that Bismarck is antmated by per- sonal spite toward Arnim?!’ ARNIMS UNPOPULARITY. “No, certainly not; he is simply doing his duty, and any otner ex-Minister wno had done what | Arnim has done wouid meet with the same fate, I assure you. Prince Bismarck, whom I know weil, Et no petty spites. He is tou broad a man ior mre what will the people say? Is Arnima | Popular man tf” “No, he is not. Arnim has no friends outside of his family circle, Which 18, of course, very powertul | and distinguished. His manners are not Calculated to please and he is generally disliked. 1 know Arnim, and, although his manners are very much disliked, there is no doubt that he is a man of very grote copesity. 1 am in @ position to know also hat bis ciplomatic capacity 18 thorouguly appre- ciated at Berun, His mauners, however, and his perso} conduct generaily are such that I only Foner. at his being suffered to remain so long in aris.” “po you think that he will surrender the papers in question ?”” “No, | don’t think he will. He ts too obstinat for that, and, besides, he is too fond of notorie! I presume he likes she intense notoriety which ne 1s enjoying at present.” AN AMICABLE SETTLEMENT POSSIBLE, “Do you know Von Btllow, who 18 said to have treated Arnim in so outrageous a manner?” “There are nv less than three Bitlows in the Berlin Foreign Omice, and il the Buiow referred to by the despatch in yesterday’s HERALD 18 the one mean b can only say that he is probably ¢ pole man iknow.
