Public Optmloa om the R lectio. CMTtil, The London Post, of August IS, remarks that: Tbe tlection r-peeches and addresses which are already being made all over the country furnish not only a very preny btudy, but also a utelul collection of indications as to tDe politi cal ooinion which are likely to be in vogue, and the Vet" which tbe a.am current is liuely to take when all tbtse eireamlcis have been poured into it. Tbe most amusing that we have met wi'h is certainly one deliveied to the elec tors of East Cornwall, by Mr. Nicholas Kendall, who appears to be an extraordinary hue soeci mcn o( a fossil pot tician, no iv tor the first time exhumed Irom a long superiucumbdnt silence. It fbere is one single thing upou which all public men are in the present day agreed, it is as to the beneficial euYcts ot free trade, and yet Mr. Kendall, with an election unci an extended constituency iu full view, posi tively claims credit for having been oue of "the nineteen men who stood to their guns in Purlin-, m Lit on behalf oi protection," when the sjstem was bnady abandoued, aod not only tnat, but he gives a reason lor bis tenacity which is even more curious than the tenacity itself. He ap pears to be sorely badgered by trouble.-ome questioners; but ne answers them by proessiug his confidence in Lord Derby. Atd if that alone is a political virtue, or even a political quality ot auy intelligible bUoltJcatlon, perhaps Mr. Keudall may yet obtain a more or less respecta ble minority of votes. Sir John Trelawny and Mr. Brydges Willyams, the liberal catidida'es tor the same division of the countv, are men of a vtry diderent sort. The former declare s that he has al avs been an advoca'e lor the negro sutftage, which his now been conceded, and reminds us thai tbe wort of reform is as yet far from complete, since the re dUtnbuiion must shortly come on again for treatment, wi.ile he regards a complete scheme of education as the necessary comple ment of the measure. As to tue lush Cuurch, he frsnklv asks: "Is It right or proper that the EuclUh people should be bound to piy heavy taxes in oider to malo'ain an army wbicu is to compel tbe Irish to allow a Church to exist in thircoun'ry which they themsnlvei deprecate, and which is iu i'selt an intrusive Church aud rever will become au establish ment liked by the people 1" lie reminds usthtt the Government his, as far as we a' presen ; are informed and as fur as cau be ascertained from its variouB proposals and their savcral repudia tions, "no policy at all," aud that the only Temedy for the admitted evils of tbe case is that which ha been propped by the opposi tion, of which he avos himself a supporter, as does also Mr.Willjamj,bo seeks to nu returned with him. We imagine there can be liule doubt, ns 10 the choice wh'cb East Cornwall will make between these three candidates.

As the story ran, the poet arrived at Kneb wortb with a let'.er or introduction to Sir Ed ward, who, at the moment of the poet's arrival, was on tbe point ot leaving home on horseback.

We may add tnat one cause In operation and Dot sufficiently understood, is tbe affluence ot gold combined with tbe narrowing ot the field on which it must be employed. In a cons dur able portion of Europe, and over neiriy the whole of America, paper money forms a barrl r which does not allow the smallest stream of gold to penetrate. But it is in part to this Hftiuence that we must attribute the numerous and considerable accumulations ot d'-pjsm of bullion and coin In the Bank of France, and In the great credit instttut'ons of more recent da'e. In England also gold Is being healed up.

It Is said that the Emperor inttnds forming an agricultural academy, iu which he will take au active pan. ) am veiy cimous to know for what reasons. In tact, ask the first corn thresher that you meet what are tbe most essential members that agri culture requires; he will tell you that manual labor is watted. Now, if nothing Is done to icstorc these to him it is the nino years of com plicated service of twelve buudred thousaud men, by whose means the chief of the State has now reconstructed the army. As Emperor. NapoKon J II has perhaps every right to enrill twelve hundred tbousaud men. As member ot tbe Academy of Agriculture he will probably have some difficulty to make his colleagues understand that tbe more tbe barracks are tilled the better potatoes wilt be cultivated. I surely think there is some incompatibility between the two trades. Napoleon HI will find himself obliged to tacritice one ot them, and as a proof ot my perspicacity I Ulnk I know which he will not pwriflce. Elasticity of the Press Laws.

Apparently the political horizon is tree from clouds; there does not seem to be a question in dispute which is likely to lead lo a conflict, yet people here believe in an eiploslon in a short time.

BRAZIL. fn w HlsUtry Bcftlaa Its Work Ural Wabb'a Alaalfaato. The New York llera d' correspondent writes fiotn Kio Janeiro, July 26, as follows: "As the new Ministiy enters upon its func tions without a bi utile appropriation having been made to meet the expenditures of tha cur rent fiscal year, it is placea in the position ot being forced to assume a dictatorship, to levy taxes and meet expeuditurea without an autho nzatiou, and to make 1. vies of men without Laving legislative authority to a is pose of the lives and fortunes ot tbe people. But, we must allow, what difference is there in reality between this course aud that ot the ordiuary state of thiues, so Jong as a Brazilian Govern ment cau elect its Chamber ol Deputies to ap prove of its acts? The eietit needs at present are money and men.

There is, however, auother source, but of slower utilization, whence a large number of m u may jet be drawn wi bout re.-ort to the dissolutiou of the national guard or to suspending the nu merous exemptions allowed to commerce, bureaus, and tbe lettered class, toat Is to say, from the pmserves of men who had Ven pro tected by Influential meu of the liberal per. suBsioij-the Clientelle which all inrluemlul men in Brazil find bo usclul to iberu as voters, as doers oloirty woik (eveu murders), and as cheap laborers on their plantations, a-id wuo are, of rourt-c, much more willing and economical when the choice lies bet weeii devotlou to a great man and djlue in a 1'Hraguayan swamp.

In this 8 ate, tbe immediate point ot attack Is the loyal Government and the law excluairg Rebels from sut)rate; in Southern Stat s it aims at tbe over'hrow ot existing state governments; in both, it is composed mainly ot Rebels, and is a complete military organization, and though its name differs in oitlerent States, nil branches are clo-ey in connection. Whether it has yet any existence in holt hern titatcs we cannot positively say. At tbe South, it woiks actively by assassina tion of leading Republicans; in this State, a few mysterious murders have occurred, aod in several localities we have proof that lists of radicals "to be removed at the earliest oppor tunity ," have been made. But its first object here is to carry tbe election Dy force if possi ble. To this end, as the papers given below will show, a picked band of meu, limited in number, is to be orgauizod in every locality, It is a military organization in every psrtisular; its purposes are concealed even from tbe body ot Democrais, for no Democrat not a member is allowed to be present at any meeting or "roll call;" its members are bound by a secret oath to obey the orders of ttielr leaders, and every com pany Is required to meet every week lor roll call, to send constant reports ot effective tore-, and to keep the force up to the lull number.

Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph. Bt. Louis, Aug. 27. There is Intense excite ment among the Democrats since the secret circular of instructions to registrars has been brought to light, and serious troubles are anti cipated. These instructions, if they are carried out, will undoubtedly give the coming election to the radicals by an immense majority. They prohibit perssns from registering who have since the Rebellion affiliated politically with the secessionists and Southern sympa thizers, and also those who have a general repu tation for disloyalty or Incline to secesslonism in feeling, together with those who claim to be naturalized citizens and are unable to produo their papers or establish their loss by competent evidence, such to be furnished only by persons who were unconditional Union men since and during the war. The Evening Tespatch charges the agent of the Associated Press with prostituting his official position by scattering political calumnies broad cast throughout the country, and Instances the bending a telegram abroad regarding the exist ence heie of a Democratic armed organization as a false statement, arising from the publica tion of an unauthentlcated circular in which nothing is said about arms. The piper calls on the gentleman to resign his position. A Double Murder Tbe Colored Btate Convention. Bt.

Yesterday morn lnf? gnard from Major Putnam's command, stationed at Camp Hamilton , Ya., some three miles distant from the fort, proceeded to Nor folk, to take charge of Harrison Tount, a colored man, and convey him to Warwick Conrt House, where he Is to be hanged at 10 o'clock to-day. The prisoner, together with three confederates, was convicted of murdering Mr. Wootten, of Warwick connty, In the fall of 186C. Tbey have been confined since that time in the Norfolk County Jail, and have been icprieved three times once by Governor Pier pont and twice by Governor Welles. Hlsasso elates have succeeded in having their sentences commuted to an imprisonment for a term of ten years; but tbe evidence against Yonng was too conclusive to admit of further clemency. Major Putnam left for the scene of execution at an early hour this morning, accjmpauied by a strong guard to suppress any disturbance tht1 mipht arise among the colored population in tlat vicinity. The prisoner will bo taken to the scene of exccntlon by the military guard, where he will be turned over to Sheriff Molle cott, of Warwick county, and by him be hanged. Personal.

Troops Deeertlnir from General Baez Army He ported Kxacntlon of Cabral Ureas Klro at Axua. By Cuba Cable. Havana, Aug. 27. Our latest advices from tbe Dominican rcpublio are to the 20th inst. President Baez was mobilizing large forces to put down tbe revolution: but desertion seemed to be a national failing of his troops nnd was prompted for the most part by the misery that prevailed among the government forces, A rumor was in circulation to the effect that official news had been received from Hayti, an nouncing that General Cabral, ex-President, with twenty leading Domiulcans, had been cap tured there, aud immediately shot. The report is probably a part ot Baeclst policy to terrorize the people oi the South, who are, however, as well posted as to General Cabral's movements and whereabouts, as the Haytleu friends of Baez cau be. General Manzueta was atLlamaza. A great conflagration bad taken place in Azua, destroy ing lorty buddings, including a warehouse Oiled with petroleum. A band of independent patriots desire General Ulysses Espaillot for President. TEE EUROPEAN MARKETS. This Morning's Quotations, By Atlantic Cable. Lonoon, Aneust 27 A. M.
