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. It has. h< we ver! hoer,
presented in such imposing form that
the statement eau onh be dissipated
by the commodore hims,-'.'.'.

"WASHINGTON, August 22. The se- '
.oond day of Wirtz's trial dovol a.-J :. ;
brief and mysterious chapter. The \
commission met at the usual hour, I
counsel and prisoner present, and also ;
a goodly number of spectators. Th
counsel and the spectators were r .
quired to leave the room, and th:
commission went into secret sessj .::.'?
during which some important conclu? \
sion was arrived at: for. on opening !
the door, u motion was n ado by the
judge-advocate for au adjournment |
and the remanding of thc prisoner.
The counsel fur the prison< ria vain ,
endeavored to impure why this sudden j
step is Iahen, but, were told thu" lui :
debate weald bi allowed. The judge- !

trial proceeded with". The president, j
(bm. Wallace, said that all argument |
was out of order. This < mu d the j
matter. An adjournment took place,
and the prisoner wen. back to tia-Old 1

A good ninny conjectures are rife as !
to what course will be pursued. Many 1
think that the commission adjourned !

of charges and specifications will bc

l.vrrKNM.LV. -Yesterday n man named i
Anthony Dully, aged thirty-five, a ?
laborer in Washington square, was, on
returning from his w.-.rk. seized in I
Fourth street wit i' . hemorrhage from i
the lungs. Seating himself on thc
steps of a dwelling, he sum became
insensible, and rolled upon the paw 1
ment weltering in blood. While blood
was still streaming from his mouth and
nose, and he appeared gasping for
breath in tho agony of death I'romsuf- ;
frication, a physician appeared and :
[loured tho contents of a vial of chlo- j
reform -probably two toaspor-nsful ;
into his I P ?nth. rum fron) thal moment ?
the hemorrhage ceased. Twice after
ward tile remedy was repeated in
smaller doses, and the mun was re?
lieved, resma-!! as by a miracle ir? .:>.

Til.? Ivm;.u??!.y Election.
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?

Wc need not say that sue il measures
deter men from the polis. No one
would call such elections free. Wc
heard a great deal about conducting
the election according to thc laws ot
this Stiitc. and the military prom!: d

State d- not provide-that thc military
shall have anything to hi th? case, lt
does not provide mat voters shall m

R.:Y!< ". to the Baltimore
ric :?. says:
You wiilsee a good deal of nonsense
originating in a Southern paper about
Gen. Lee's reasons for applying for a
pardon. It is al! stiiff. (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. '.Chu hollie on
Franklin street, vir re ?y lived, is now
occupied by a Hebrew f; ruiiy.
DEATH.-Hot only decs death beau?
tify our lifeless form;;, but inc thought
of it gives a more beaut ifni expression"
to tie countenance even in life, and
ne-VECrcagth to the heart; as rosemary
is both placed as a chaplet on the
brows of the dead and gives life to the
faiutiug by irs vivifying essence.
