A HERALD MYSTERY. One of Our Correspondents Before the Berlin Kammergericht. WE ENLIGHTENS IMPERIALISM. How the Herald Got the Von Arnim Sentence in Advance, Loxpon, Sept. 5, 1875. Mr. Jackson, the Hxrarp correspondent at | Berlin during the trial of Count Von Arnim, having recently returned to that city, was — Boon the object of attention on the part of | the imperial police. HOW THE TROUBLE AROSE, It will be remembered that in January last, at the close of Von Arnim’s trial, the Henany correspondent obtained information in ad- wance of the sentence that was to be im- posed upon Bismarck’s presumed rival, and the authorities were then amazed at the accuracy of the Henanp’s re- port and confounded os to the means by which the Hxrarp man had been enabled to secure the full text of the sentence, guarded carefully, as it was, up tothe very last moment by the judges who held it in their possession, Since then the Heran’s method of obtaining the news has remained a profound mystery to all the Berlin officials, THE POLICE EXCITED. It was, therefore, with some excitement that the imperial police heard of the arrival of the correspondent in Berlin. CITED BEFORE THE KAMMERGERICHT, As soon as it was known that Mr, Jackson was in the city steps were taken to secure his attendance before the Kammergericht, the purpose being, of course, to hear from him- self how he had come into possession of the Von Arnim sentence in advance. . ON HAND, Mr. Jackson did not hesitate to appear be- fore the Court, and it is right to say that all the officials with whom he had any communi- cation during the proceeding treated him very courteously. ASSUAGING CURIOSITY, He told the story of the method by which he had secured the sentence in the same | terms as he had told it to the readers of the Heraxp in January last, when a full account of the closing scenes of the Von Arnim trial was published in the Herarp Berlin cor- respondence. ‘i “AND STILL THE WONDER GREW.” The officials marvelled at the extraordinary resources which had defied so jealously guarded a document, but there was nothing left for them to do but to wonder. HOW THE HERALD CORRESPONDENT WORKED. Fo following extract from tho letter dated Berlin, December 20, 1874, above referred to, and which ap- peared in the Henan of January 9, 1875, shadows forth how tho Hrrann correspondent obtamed the news of the sentence in advance \ Does the Hxnaup reader ever imagine the danger at | which that news was acquired? The penalty the corre- spondent incurred might be a request from the police to leave the country; perbaps a summons to say how he got his information. The Berlin College of Judges took three days to decide and compose the sentence. The sentence and the motives thereto were written by President Reich upon twenty foolscap sheets of paper, and thege were lithographed in two hundred copies only the night preceding the judgment; but these twenty pages did not contain the judgment, There were still two pages wanting, and these were lithographed an hour before the sentence was spoken. Upto that time the Judge would keep them in his possession. I hardly re- member how the news came to me, Judges had discussed for some the four weeks’ imprisonment by the Count should be deducted from the term of the gentence, but I had no idea of the award. Tt seems to me a dream now—these wander- ings among the low beer’ cellars of Berlin, the promise that the sentence would be in my hands at ten, the dreary waiting hour after hour and ho results, the fears that I was betrayed, and the final snecess, 1 havea faint recollection of six or seven flights of stairs, mysterious passages and a large room, wherein sat one man, a Turk, like one’s self, waiting for his messenger. Then the arrival woman clad in deep black, my being ushered into the next apartment, wherein a beautiful young hours whether already — suffered Indy lay in her bed. She was told not to fear, and I was | I was sleepy | left in darkness, It was halfpast two. and tired, yet the novelty of the situation attracted me, The reflection from the snowy roof cast a slight light Into the room. Isaw my fair companion’s eyes gazing full at me in a fearful, timid manner, as if she could not | comprehend the scene; as if she wondered what it all | meant, I heard the woman in black leave the house. The secret was mine and the world’s. THE LOURDES PILGRIMAGE. + GERMANY CONCIMIATORY TO FRANCE—THE FRENCH } CABINET NOT RESPONSIBLE.

Probable Future Healthy Condi- tion of the Bank. RALSTON’S DEATH. San Francisco, Sept, 5, 1875. It was rumored here this afternoon that Mr. D. 0. Mills had authorized the agent of the Associated Press to say that Mr, Ralston had overdrawn his account $3,000,000, Iam informed by the present attorney of the bank that Mr. Mills denies that he authorized any such statement. The Bulletin, on this subject, says:— “We are now authorized by D, 0. Mills to say that the late president did, without tne knowledge af the direo- tors, use privately from $3,000,060 to $4,000,000 of the bank’s resources, which amount remains unpaid. This ‘was the cause of the recent failure, Probably elsewhere this would be set down as a defalcation. We are authorized by the same authority to say that there was an over issue of stock, which over issue has now been proven.” Itis very cortain that the Bulletin or Mr, Mills will come to grief. A newspaper has many sources of life, a banker has but one, through reliability. T don’t want to disturb confidence in the future state of the Bank of California, It is certain to outride personal malignity or newspaper slander, but in a community like this investigation is thorough, and some one will get badly hurt, Your correspondent cannot undertake to report figures on the debit or credit side of Mr. Ralston’s bank account, for he has not ecen them, but he is assured by those who have thoroughly investigated this matter that the assignment made by Mr, halston of his property to Mr, Sharon on the morning of his death will cover all his indebtedness in every direction and leave to his family about $2,000,000, It should be stated also that the indebtedness charged against Mr. Rajston was not personal, but that which has grown out of the aid which tho bank has openly given in the way of loans to other industries throughout the State and which are to-day worth infinitely more than the indebtedness to the bank. A meeting of the friends of Mr. Ralston 1s cafled on Wednesday evening, in the largesighull of the city, with a view of defending him against the charges of the Bulletin and Call. 1 am told that D. 0. Mills wants to stop the meeting, for if it proceeds tho Bulletin threat- ens to expose him as the authority who furnished them the statements against Mr. Ralston’s administration of the bank affairs, As there have been so many contra- dictory statements over the wire I have thought this private information called for. All the other di- rectors of the bank are willing that the Wednes- day evening meeting should take place. When the truth is all out, the new administration of the bank will be stronger at home and have an intel- ligent support abroad. It 18 proper that I should add that ewidence given yesterday before the Coroner and statements gathered since from reliable persons at tho place where Mr. Ralston was drowned are to the effect that there are currents in the place which the most ex- pert swimmer could with difficulty breast, and that a stranger who would endeavor to save himself in making for the shore would be certain to succumb. Michael Reese, one of the bank trustees here, who had bathed there for over twenty years, says that whenever he had been so caught he went with the tide where it took him, These statements are rapidly changing public opinion, and the ultimate conclusion is likely to be that Mr. Ralston’s death was a romarkable accident. AN INTERVIEW WITH D. 0. MILLS, Realizing during the past few days, while telegraphing about the hundreds of thousands and the millions that were being subscribed here to a guarantee fund to enable the Bank of California to resume opera- tons, that I ought to communicate you ao statement of what this fund was and its proposed operations, to this end I concluded to seek D. 0. Mills, the President of the bank, at a moment when he was withdrawn from business, to get a clear comprehension of the matter as it stands, which I have no doubt is looked or by capitalists, business men and all who have financial interest with California in general and with this bank in particular. I took the first train this morn- ing for Millbrae, the country residence of this ten-mil- lionnaire, and prepared myscif as I was riding up to his mansion with a word of explana tion for calling upon him on the Sabbath, but my speech, for want of prearranged opportunity, didn’t come off. Senator Sharon, a fifteen-millioniare, and some‘other friends had been there before me. 1 was ushered into the library to wait a few minutes, as Mr. Mills was at breakfast. As the guests were there before me, there was no dignity offended in a prolonged waiting, and the kindly invitation to take a cup of coffeo with thirty or forty millions, courteously declined, was satisfactory evidence that Mr. Mills respected a Commissioner of the New York Heraup, After full two hours in the library,” the prancing of a four-in- hand was heard, The Senator was off, and the banker and your correspendent wero seated vis-a-vis. At first the gentleman showed signs of having a just horror of the past ten days’ experience with the San Frhncisco press. He expressed less than what hoe felt and had made up his mind to say no more. He had been placed in an awk- ward position where he could neither speak or be silent, and had been dragged into a cross-fire between the Bulletin and the Cail on the one side, and, it may be said, nearly all the rest of the press on the Pacific coast on the other, 1 was fully satisfed during this interview that, whatever had been said by Mr. Mills on the condition of the bank when’ it collapsed, it was the language ofa man thoroughly demoralized by the catastrophe, which seemed at the first glance to engulf him and everybody else officially connected with the bank in financial ruin, with blasted character. What he has said latterly, and which has been used by the Bulletin and Call in explanation of their opposition to the bank and Mr, Ralston, was no doubt unwillingly communicated, In their position they needed his statement, in his position he could not withhold them, having a full knowledge of the facts as related. While stating that Mr. Ralston died largely indebted to the bank, no one worthy of a moment’s attention charges him with criminal intent, and on the assuranee of Senator Sharon, to whom all his property was deeded, I ain authorized to say that the estate, as before telegraphed, is vastly greater than all habjlities, Who is responsible for creating the panic that caught the bank unprepared for a storm is not my province to decide, THR BANK SYNDICATR, Now, the Syndicate that is organized for the future control of the bank is formed upon a basis that cannot fail to secure the confidence of the public. The holders of the bank stock bring it all in the State. If you with asstime all the abilities of the bank to its depositors and creditors you can have the good will of the bank and its machinery for business, and all the assets. ‘Tho Hinbilities of the bank, all told, are $11,000,000, the nominal assets are $20,000,000. Tho other $13,000,000 of this amount a¥e good, the other $7,000,000 are classifed doubtful. If you assume our liabilities and realize from our credits beyond the amount of our debts we shall exact for the stockholders a pro rata of the amount realized in consideration of this assistance to the present direc- tors. ‘The Syndicate will have the eption when the lia- bilities to depositors and creditors aro all paid off of drawing out from tho organization or re estab- lishing the bank and continuing its existence for their own advantage upon paying the stockholders their interests at par up to this timo, THR SURSCRIPTION, The subscription to the syndicate aggregates nearly $7,000,000, with favorable prospects of its increase to $10,000,000, while assurances are ample that the bank with nearly its former line of stock and com. mercial business and such additional custom as the | solid guarantees of the stability and careful man- ageement are sure to bring it In addition to the subscriptions to the syndicate all the subscribers will give it their business and most of them will make heavy deposits from $50,000 to $1,000, 000 in gold coin at once. Tho hank has now about one million in the vaults; Sharon will deposit $1,000,000; Keene, $400,000, and a largo number of brokers and operators from $50,000 to $100,000 each. ‘There are assurances that on the day of opening the vaults will contain from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 in gold coin, Under the showing made it is not likely that the syndicate will necessarily be called upon for a dollar; but as a pre- cautionary measure and to strengthen the institution an assessment of ten per cent upon the amounts sub- scribed will probably be levied and paid in at once when the subscriptions are complete. The names and amounts will be published, from which the public may judge of the guarantees of stability and good faith of- ered them, No such terms would have been offered to capitalists had not the principal stockholders of banks been very wealthy men and got tired of the banking business, resulting from- the recent ter- Tible seare, These inducements offered to the syndicate would probably never have moved the capitalists who are rushing to the assistance of the Bank of California wore it not forthe other fact that the men who deal in great wealth here are afraid of any one bank ever getting the imperial control that was once in the hands | of the manager of the Bank of California. Finance and commerce will be healthier when divided between the Bank of California and the Bank of Nevada, soon to bo opened, than when entirely controlled by either. This syndicate business is already an assured success, and the Bank of California will resume its business between the 15th and 20th. THE HAYDEN SURVEY. THE REPORT OF THE ATTACK ON THE EXPEDI- TION CONFIRMED—SENTIMENT IN WASHINGTON REGARDING THE FIGHT—PROBABLE FEINT OF THE INDIANS TO SCARE THE PARTY OFF— CHARACTER OF THE COUNTRY. Wasmxatox, Sept. 5, 1875. Your correspondent called upon Acting Secretary Cowan, of the Interior Department, to-day for further particulars concerning the attack on the Hayden survey- ing party, and was informed that from the latest and most reliable information from that portion of the expedition operating in the San Juan region in Southern Colorado, no lives were lost. and “nobody hurt,” and that, too, after an engagement of twenty-one hours with dhe Indians, and a running fight for a distance of fifty miles through a country with which the Indians aro perfectly familiar, this particular locality being their home. Later private despatches confirmed the report that no personal injury was sustained by either party, although tho surveying expedition lost their valuable instruments, such as chronometers, mercurial barometers, &c., a8 well as provisions apd outfit, A short time since Mr. Gannett’s division of the Hayden survey was stopped by the Ute Indians, and a despatch to that effect was received bY the Secretary of the lnterior and also by Professor Hayden, then in this city. Mr. Delano promptly telegraphed to Ouray, chief of the Utes, directing him to permit the scientists to proceed. Soon after that Gannett’s and Gardner's di- visions formed a junction not far from the Sierra Abajo, the point at which they were attacked, and, both parties being aware of the fact that the Utes had resolved not to permit any kind of scientific work or surveys to be made in their country, Gardner and Gannett determined to JOIN THEIR FORCH and remain together for mutual protection. The two parties united number sixteen men, composed of James T. Gardner; H. Gannett, of Bangor, Me. ; Robert Adams, of Philadelphia; G. Aldrich, of Chicago; Dr. A. C. Peale, of Philadelphia; Mr, Pearson, of Washington, D. C., to- gether with packers, cooks, &c. ‘The Indians have ever exhibited:a spirit of opposition to surveying parties, but nothing more serious was ap- prehended than the stealing and running off of the stock of the expedition, and those here who have an intimate personal acquaintance with these Indians and their country are satisfied that nothing more was designed by the Utes in making their attack upon the surveying party than to get rid of them WITHOUT KILLING A PERSON. Had the intention of the Indians been otherwise, it is the opinion here that it was only necessary for them to follow the expedition up closely and killaman or a mule whenever an opportunity offered. And such op- portunities would have been constant in a country like Southern Colorado, full of deep winding gorges, ravines andcanyons, and high, craggy peaks, all perfectly familiar to the Utes, for it has been their home for cen- turies, and in every nook and corner of it have they hunted the deer and the mountain sheep. Such was the character of the country in which tho attack was made on the Gardner and Gannett parties, and such was the character of the Indians who made the attack. The telegraphic report says:—The bullets fell as thick as hail,” and yet no ono was even wounded. Scientific gentlemen hero, per- fectly conversant with the whole subject, express a con- fident belief that the whole thing was but a trick on the part of some of the young men of the tribe, who are always on tho alert for mischiof, to scare the scientists and run them off. Itis not believed here that the ac- tion of these Indians received the approval of the chief, and that in their attack they did not design killingany member of the surveying party. The two or threo mules killed were probably killed by the miscellaneous firing of the party attacking. THR LOSS OF THEIR INSTRUMENTS will prove serious, not omly on account of their intrinsic value, but it must delay for a time the work of the survey in this important antl interesting region of our territory, and prevent its being brought to a close this season. The region is but little known scientifically, and it is the portion of Colorado which is now attraet- ing special attention on account of great mines known to exist there.

On the road Major Matthow J. | Petry, the representative of the Sixteenth ward in the municipal government of Brooklyn, was thrown from his horse. After guard mounting yesterday a sham battle wat fought, Colonel Rochr taking command of the Cadets, Schuetzen Corps, and two companies of the regiment and the battery with two small pieces of artillery, the op. posing force under Lieutenant Colonel Rueger consist- ing of the cavalry company and six companies of the ‘Thirty-second regiment, Skirmishers were first thrown out and then, after areconnoissance, the attacking party, under Rueger charged up the hill Roehr was defending, The charge was gallantly repulsed, but a sortie lett the vantage ground vacant, and Rueger, when he saw Roehr’s troops following closely, detached one company and the cavalry to make a flank movement and attack the enemy in their rear; and then, a moment later, rallying, commenced slowly to drive Roehr'a forces back. . ‘The sceno at this trme was a brilliant one, The rattle of musketry and booming of artillery in mimicry of war, the shouts of the combaianta and the cheers of thousands of spectators, with tho clouds of smoke rising and again covering the ficld, made up a picture rarely seen except in actual conflict. few moments later the scarcity of ammunition robbed the concluding movements of their greatest effect, but tho flanking was done handsomely, and a gallant charge from the front on the whole line con- cluded the engagement, as Colonel Roehr, finding him- self surrounded, surrendered his forces. General Franz Sigel, who was present, compli- mented the affair in the highest possible terms, and congratulated Colonel Rohr on the success of -the les- son on warfare thus practically given. During the sham battle and, in fact, during the day several casnalties occurred more or less serious. Bre vet Major Frederick J. Kercher had his foot injured by the horse of Lieutenant Colonel Rueger stepping on it, the horse shying at the artillery fire, A member of Company F, name not ascertained, was prostrated with ‘coup de goleil and taken home in’a wagon. One man, name unknown, on the “charge,” stepping into a hole, sprained his ' leg so severely as to produce insensibility, and in that condition was taken home by his friends. ’ Still another member of the Thirty-second regiment was injured by a stone thrown by ono of a crowd of rowdies who attempted to force their way inte the park, the missile inflicting an ugly sealp wound. The regiment broke up the encampment after dark last night, and, reaching the armory about ten o'clock, were dismissed with the thanks of Colonel Rohr, OBITUARY. JOHN J. BROWN. John J.
