This article reports on several political and economic issues. There is a telegram from Missouri of a curious kind about the relations of the politician Gratz Brown, whom many people begin to regard as the coining man-with "the labor reform party." He has been waited on by a delegation from it, and has said, it is reported, that he approves of its "three fundamental principles-the ballot, the issue of money by the Government for the benefit of the people, and the right of eminent domain in public lands." According to another report, how decidedly the advantage in these engagements has been on the side of the Prussians, appears from the circumstance that on Friday, the 9th, the French Government at Tours seriously began the evacuation of that temporary capital, which is now replaced by Bordeaux, France.
