The Troubles of a Munich Printer. Dr. Julius Lang a Cossack of the German Press. MUNICH, Oct. 24, 1874, Just about the time that the Arnim affair began to take on avery serious character, and Prince Bis- marck accused his former Ambassador of taking Sway those important documents from the Paris | Embassy, mysterious notices were printed 10 the | German papers that @ book was torthcoming, which would be eutitied “the Revolution trom the Throne,” and wich would contain assertious sounded on, or indeed producing, those very docu- ments acout which Bismarck was taking so much wWouble to get possessiou. Equally mysterious Were the assertions about tho authorship of the fork, The original prospectus read something as | tollows:—“Under the title of ‘Die Revolution von Oben! will shortly appear a Jarge and in the high- eat degree interesting work trom the pen of a well known statesman who playea an important role in the two past decades, but since the unhappy year wf 1866 withdrew himself from the diplomatic fleid, awaiting only the proper time when be may again take up his diplomatic career and devote his ser- Vices to the Regenerated Christian State of the | Future. For the present he is using his leisure in the collection of historical material, studtes in modern history, &c., &c., and the result of bis labors Will appear in this jorthcoming work.” This | is the nutice as it originally wade the rounds of | the press, and a great sensation it made. Some shought that Count Arnim himself had a hend in the authorship of the work, others that Savigny was the intellectual author, but all that a certain Dr. Julius Lang, at tne time ao resident of Munich, Was doing tie work of writmmgand printing. Ar- aim, through his son, said that he knew nothing Bt all about Dr, Julius Lang; Savigny, who 1s ill at Frankiort-on-the-Main, equally denied all connection with the work, and- yet @ fear prevailed in the Bismarck headquarters at | Berhn tuat some Prussian statesman had entered into unholy union with Lang, who baa indeed tn Big possession some official documents the publi- Cation of which would seriously damage the CHARACTER OF THE BISMARCK FOREIGN POLICY, ‘The Prusstan government nave spared no exer- tions to get on the track of Dr. JuliusLang. They heard some time ago that the mysterious Julius, Who seems to have a true Mephistopheiean na- fare, entered the editorial bureau of the New Premdendiatt, at Vienna, and offered a number of oMcial documents for sale, The editors, after a con- fabulationy determined that they could not pur- ehase them, whetlier because they were of too @erious a character or whether they appeared to them worthiess Iam not aware.

You will see him to be a bold, unscrupulous jour- Nalist; but, after all, I think you will come to the conclusion that he ts Just the man to create a row. somewhere if he gets the chance. SERTCH OF DR. JULIUS LANG. Let us begin at the beginning, He was born at Vienna, the son of a castelian, and at an early age he had # sib position in one of the government | offices, He rewained there uctil it was found out | that he wasin the habit of supplying journalists ‘with valuable government infurmatioa, and so hie ‘Was dismissed. He then became a journailst. His Snemies Called him at the time a “‘literary Irpe- Booter.” He published in Prague a small paper called the Latest News; then he livea some time | io Manoheim and Frank/ort-on-the-Main, and then | entered the editorial department of the Sirasaburg | Dorrespondence, ®@ paper representing the Bona- | partistic interests. He went then to Bremen, | Wrote then in iavor of the Duke of @ugustenberg, and later devoted his ser | vices tor some time to Prussia. Then he | Went to Pressburg, in Hungary, and asturted a | Weekly paper called the Watch on the Danube, when he aret upheld the Old Catholic cause and Decame a bitter opponent of Rome and Papal in- fihbility. He wrote a pamphlet against Jesuitiem | entitled “The Jesuit in the Dresa Coat.” About a year ago he began to see tie error of his old ways, He spent some time with the Jesuit party in Inna | bruck, aud then came to Munici, where he com- | menced some four or five months ago the publica- don of @ weekly sheet called Letters in Armor | (Geharniscate Briete), in which he showed himself Bflery advocate of the Papacy and almost rabid in | his attacks on the German Empire. He became in Manica a RRCOGRIZED DEFENDER OF CATHOLIC INTRRESTS, feluy equalling Dr. Sigi, of she Vaterland, in zeal, | Dut excelling lim in atility. The Letters in Armor, each tasue being but a closely printed tour page large octave, bad wa short life, The sixteenth umber was confiscated by the police, and after is- Bulng a farewell number on tie following week, and the Berlin police being on bis track, Lang lett this Qngrateiul city jor parts unknown. Berlin had se- Cured copies of the Letters in Armor and had found auch villanous insults of the Emperor and Other rulera aad princes by the grace of God ‘therein that it ustituted at once a process against | the editor and the priater of the said Lecters. The editor having fod the printer is now lett to fight Out the battle himself. I called on this gentleman Yesierday aiternoon, for I had heard that he (Herr Soteur, So, Dear, as he is popularly known | in Munich) naa pubdlisned some pages of | the “Revolution von Oben,” and I wished to get | possession of them. but £ kuow tnat he had only published a iew pages before the police | imterferred, and then report said Dr, Juuus Lang | bad carried the manuscript of his mysterious book | to Geneva, where he was to have it prinied at bis own expense by Messrs.

Mr. Soteur is a German printer in 9 small way and resides in the Rindermarkt, near the Marien- plats, Manich. He has tive or six workmen and stands bimeeli at the case whenever business 1s Dressing. Ue is a stout, good natured, blonde master printer, and I found him very com- Municative, at the same time very bitier against Dr. Julius Lang and very anxious about result of the process inatituted against him as the publisher of the Lewrs in armor, He told mo that ne bad siready put about sixteen pages of “Die Revolution von Obea’’ in type when tne police fteoubies came, when Le refased to Dave nartaing more to do with the » distributed every | Particle of the types up, and destroyed every trace of proofs of the wotk. Did he not remember the nature of the book t Lasked. He had not reaa the manuscript through, but he remembered a pas- | sage, in which the ausbor said that there would | be no peace in Europe until all the | RBVOLUCIONARY CROWNED UBAD3 WERB HANGED. | The manuscript, be said, would have made | thirty-two large octavo pages, and Lang had toid | him that this was but the preface of a larger work | to follow. He wanted 200 special copies of the ‘Work printed on fine tinted paper to send to the crowned heads o1 Europe. Herr Soteur was of the opinion that the pamphiet was a defence of the cause of the depossessed princes of Europe— | of King George of Hanover, the ex-King | of Naples, the ex-Klecter of Hesse, the Holy | Pather, and especially Don Varios. He did not | remember anything in the manuscript relating to | the Bismarck-Arnim amir, but then he did not | know what the larger work mignt contain, Herr Soteur expressed hia regret that he had not a | copy of the proof sheets of the pamphlet leit; he | had destroyed every veztige of tue book; he had | not preserved a line, so great was his fear of com. ing into conflict with the police. He had a few | numbers of the last issue of the Letters in Armor, if that would interest me. It did; for it | contained Dr, Lang’s iarewell to hia readers. in | which be laments that the poor state of his health (not the police) compelied him to discontinue the | publication of the Letters, but that he intended to make a “pilgrimage to the sacred places—to Pary Le Moniol; there, where first the Dtvine | Heart was revealed to Margaretta la- | coque; from tnere to Issondun, to Our Lady of the Saered Heart; to visit unhappy Alsace-Lorraiae, and France, which is again asserting herself a8 of old, and to write to his friends and readers “Epistles of a Pilgrim,” which would be published weekly like the Letters in Armor, Which, he cioses, “are not dead, but will rise again im grander jorm.” Signed and | dated Munich in the octave of the seven Pains of | Mary.

ROYAL RUBBERS AND BISMAROK’S TRANSFORMATIONS. Hitherto, in view of Louis Napoleon, the Gari- baldian ana Victor Emanuelian crown robberies, the Bismarck transiormations m Germany, the reat Powers inuenced to the core by the “revo- ution Irom the throne” have remained passive; they have recognized the tacts, they tave as- sented to what had been dene in the support of a compact majority—without looking at ail into the Matter of right or justice. %is was the second stage Of the revolution Srom the throne. Hitnerto the Eulopean great Powers have quietly perimit- ted legitimate monarchies to be overtniown and other aiter-born princes, basturds or foreign dynasties to take the place of the deposed legiti- mate ruler, and bave had no scruples ro recognize such as actual ruers. And uow the great Powers go still two steps further forward; not only do they unite, as in 1830, for the above object, but tu exclude the legitimate successor from ruleiship and to prevent his accession to the throne, even i! the people wish it. The great Powers of Europe—Kussia excepted—have united to a common action in javor of the usurputor, in favor of the robbers of thrones and pretendants against vhe iegitimate dynasty. This 1s the third and fourtn act of the greac world drama, entitied “The Revolution froin the Throne.” We suall not have to wait loag for the fitth and concluding act, with the finale, The curtain 1s ior tne present down; but the pause will not be of long duration, for the chief actors, und especially the ueroic actor es the first lutriguant press on the jatum to aste, Such, thon, is aspecimen of the much-talked of book, “Die Revolution von Oben,” 1 doubt very much whether Lang has any documents ou hand that relate especiaily to tue Arnita affair; ne does | hot touch the subject at all in the above pampblet, Mey be he Is reserving his thunder jor the big book of revolutions which isto follsw. I incline tothe opinion that Dr. Lang 18 an unprincipied swindler, and has skiliuily used the present Arnim excitement to make his little pamphiet kuown to the world. in this he has been very successial.
