From Canrnla. MoSTKEAli, August ll.-The exami? nation of tile witnesses in thc investi-j gation of the kidnapping raid has terminated in the committal of the prisonersfcr trial "before the queen's bench, some time next month. The evidence shows that the movement was organized und set on foot in the United States.. Two or more of the witnesses testified to the fact thal ti-." reward on Sanders was augumented i ron: 2?>.U0? to 75,UUO dollars, lt is: alleged (and sworn td) that thc celebrated Com? modore Vanderbilt, of Now York, was pledged to furnish 82?.000. 1 ur.Jt'r stand Sanders is unwilling to heh ve that Vanderbilt, has mad.- any ^uch committal.

This city contains a voting pop ?i i tion of not less than ten thousac : Monday, the radical ticket was carri* . by a vote the highest only 4,370. Louisville, in an exciting election, polls fewer votes than she did len or fifteen years ago. For some years, not long since, one side was .sup? pressed by clubs aud brass knucks. Since that time, a new era hus ar? rived, and now military orders and bayonets are brought to bear to dimi? nish the vote of the city. Two yearn ago, the same means were employed, and with a similar result. A law oi Congress Was passed to prevent such occurrences; but soldiers were placed near thc polls, under the pretext of keeping the peace, when there was no disturbance apprehended. These times arrests are made upon secret, information, and the citizen confined at discretion, and there is no redress. Any ono is, therefore, liable to arres^ and a number were arrested Monday ; for votifig wrong. At least, no other charge was leno vu Arrests were threatened under certain conditions before the election ma military order. Our citizens haw hui ' >o m icu expe? rience to treat such ihr nos asidle. Wc need not say that sue il measures deter men from the polis. No one would call such elections free.

(Jen. Lee's application for a pardou was drawn off and submitted to bis friends in this cit j two months ago, before he left for the country. It is a A- ry long docu? ment, over .eighteen pages of foolscap. Gen. Lee made his application . for pardon on his own account, and not on account of oth a :-, and without any reluctance - -at least, none expressed to his friends. Gen. Lee is not the man to excuse any act cf las by pretending that it is done for the benefit of others. By-the-by, speaking of him reminds me that ?ho does not in.end to return to this city ir-, reside.
