NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, MIB TRANSIT OF VENUS. eect The Amerlcan Commission for Observation Landed at Cape Town, Africa, A Quick Run on the United States Ship Swatara, PSE ye Aa ee! SCIENTIFIC ARRANGEMENTS | ——$—$$ Terrestrial and Oceanic Facts by a Herald Special Correspondent. UNITEP STATES STEAMER SWATARA, Care Town, Care or Goon Horr, August 5, 1 fhe United States steamer Swatara, with the Venus Transit Commission on board, arrived here this morning, fifty-nine days from New York, in- cluding four days spent at Bahia, Brazil, where we touched for coal and fresh provisions, This is an unusually quick passage, and gives us all the more time here for preparing the ship for the real work of the expedition, and affords ample oppor- tunities to the oflicers of the commission for rega- Jating their chronometers, arranging details and | patting the finfhing touches to their outfits, At the Cape there is no telegraphic communication with the rest of the world, and the mails are very ulcertain, otherwise it is pe- culiarly well fitted for a starting point for the transit expedition, Not only because it is a free Port, and sea stores, provisions and clothing of ai) Kinds are cheap and good, but also for the Yeason that the longitude of the place has been very accurately determined by the English National Observatory here, and conse- quently the astronomers of the commission wily have no aificulty in rating the thirty odd curo- nometers, upon which they will be obliged to rely in determining the geographical position of their stations, THE VOYAGE FROM NEW YORK, Cape Town 1s about 7,000 miles from New York, and lies almost directly to windward, so that in making the passage under sail a vessel 16 obliged to make three long stretches, crossing the Atlantic each time, ‘This swelis the distance to neariy 8,000 miles—loiig miles, too, tor they are made with the yards braced sharp up and the sheers hauled fat alt. First we sailed across to the southward and eastward toward the Cape de Verde Islands, so as to be abie to take advantage of the northeast trade winds, which we pick up about midway, carrying them as far as the Dolarums, or the Equatorial belt of calma, storms and variables; when, as if diagusted with the climate, they soar straight up and take the back track, leaving us to fur! our canvas and make the best of our Way across the debatable water between the two great trade wind belts under steam; across a region where the weather is [or- ever unsettled, where Eolus seems to be always tuning his bagpipes, where there is no Old Proba- bilities, no clerk of the weather; a latitude where the wind plays at merry-go-round, shifting thirty- five points in as many minutes, blowing high and blowing low; where the very mercury in the barometer seems to have given up all hope of keeping the 1un of things, and has crawled away down out o: sight, as if to keep out of the rain, which comes down in unceasing showers; where the sky isa mass of disorganized, savage-looking squall clouds, each one sailing, apparently, under ® roving comuission, and all convergin; vessel; where the sea is a tumult of waves, cruising around in a bewildered sort of way, as i! looking for the winds whicu had brought them so far and deserted them, YHE COMMISSIONERS NOT YROOF AGAINST SEASICK- N Hitherto the motion of the vessel had been rather insinuating, but graceiul and easy—a kind Oi Waltz movement, a combination of the glide and the Boston dip—and very few had been actively ick. But when the sip encountered the heavy, [eguiat sea of the Dolurums nearly every mem- er of the commission succumbed, Nature seemed to have a special and particular grudge against these scientists, whose business itis to pry into her secrets, and gratified 1t, accordingly. The motion was 80 violent, indeed, that John Foster, eaptain ol the forecastie, and Peter Wilkins, chief boatswain’s mate, in conclave with some half @ozen other old zoUphites and sea skimmers, de- sided, with heavy hearts, that the weather would not admit of the performance of the traditional, tume-bonored farce of “crossing the line,”’ and so the greenhorns and landsmen escaped for this time. However, alter tour days Of this batriedore and shutticcock, we crossed this part of the ter- tible zone and {ell in with the southeast trades, which begin to play their part in matataining the perpetual commerce of heat between the Equator and the Poles in latitude one degree south, and, hauling our fires and setting everything that would draw, one tine, breezy afternoon saw us at anchor in the HARBOR OF BAHIA, one-half of the distance to the Cape accomplished in thirty days. Bahia isa picturesque, unsavory pid city, very much like Lisbon in appearance, | with iis narrow streets and overhanging balco- ales. Itis situated upon the north shore of the large Bahia (bay) de Todos jos Santos, The real pame of the city is San Salvador, but in some way other the whole world have dropped into the habit of calling it Bahia. It 1s ‘amous tor the yel- Jow lever, for its oranges (the finest in the world), for its whale fisheries, tor being the outlet of the Brazilian diamond mines and for its churches and ponvents, it being the archepiscopal city of Bra- ti It is noted, too, for being the scene of the capture of the Confederate cruiser Florida during the war of the rebeliion, ana, finally, for being the ort from which Robinson Crusoe sailed upon his memorable cruise. MILITARY FACTS. They keep @ considerabie military stationed here, and jn one of the regiments the atron saint o1 the city, tbe blessed San Antonio, ids a commission. He rendered some miracu- lous service to the Bahianos during the old bucca- peering times, for which ne Was appointed a ser- geant; later, he was promoted to a captaincy, which he hoids,to this day, and the priests have rawn his pay and allowances for lignts, wash- oe fuel, &c., for nearly three hundred years, PHOTOGRAPHING THE EXPEDITION. They have two seasons here, the wet and the showery, and while we were here it rained every Gay, but this did not prevent the photographers of the expedition from taking dozeus of views of the city and surroundings. And here we lett one of the gentiemen, Mr. Seebonm, chiel photographer ofthe Chatham Isiand. He had been so pros- trated wy sea sickness that the surgeon of the Bwatars, fearing that another trip would prove fatal, recommended that he be sent home. Mr. Buuler, his senior assistant, takes his place. THR SWATARA—HER PERFORMANCE AT SEA. We remained here for four days—just long enough to fill our bunkers with coal and our lockers with oranges—then steamed out, bound for the Cape. Just outside we met with weather which Ee ug an opportunity, for the first time, of ting the seugoing qualities of our ship, and, Petra of proving the excellence of her en- cines. Th hands of the naval constructor, and is fitted with compound engines, designed and butit by the Navy Department, and, being the first of tne type ever used in ine navy, there was some question as to Whether they had power sufilcient to control the movements of she ship when we arnved in the stormy regions of the Crozet and Kerguelen stations, Which lie right in the track of the “brave west winds,’ the very heart of the “roaring forties,” Where, as the sailors say, ‘It blows hard enough to blow the teeth right down your throat.’ All douvts upon this pot were, however, soon eet at rest, for they carried us right to windward against the heavy beadwind and sea of the south- east trades—biowing a gale at this season—at a rate of from seven to nine knots, driving us along as though We were @ passenger steamer built tor speed alone, and furnishing convincing proof that we could more than hold our own against any- thing short of a hurricane. Speaking of uiust add that she 18 fast and what sauors call “handy” under sail, making upon More than one occasion from twelve to thirteen kuots, with her ards braced up and topgullant galls set, dragging | it four-biaded propeller. OBSERVATIONS WHEN AT SEA. We made avery good run across to the Cape Making 4,000 miles in twenty-three days. The early part of the voyage was very pleasant and ‘Was especially interesting to the astronomers, who had now an opportunity of observing—most of them Jor the first time—the brijllant constella- tions of the Soutiern Hemisphere and of speculat- ing upon the origin and cause of those phenomena, the Magellan clouds, and especially upon the most remarkable one, called tue Coal Suck, which lays right alongside of the Southern Cross; in spesking: of which John Herscnet says that, in looking through his large refecting telescope, “it appearet As & Olack, ragged rent tn the firmament, through which he could see out beyond the shell, so to speak, of our own celestial sphere into empty, im- measurable space.” The latter part of the voyage ‘Was rather stormy and disagreeable, bat this was soon forgotten in the pleasure of being in port once more. The oficers of the station were very kind | and attentive, ae 3 US 4 secure and comfortable berth in the dock, placing the observatory at the isposal of the astronomers and rurnisning the | ship with @ complete seb of charts of the Crozet ou Kervucien talanag. besides extending to ux all upon the | confused | forte | e Swatara is a new ship, just from the © the | Swatara aud her fitness for the expedition, I | sorts of social courtesies. We will remain here ‘-~ @ short time, just long enough to make our final Preparations, expecting tw sail tor the Crozet group about the 15th inet. DISTRESSED BRITONS, The British war sip Encounter was disabled on her voyage here, and Captain Chandler bas overed | to take the two English transit parties with us to Keguelen, so that 1018 possible that we may have al Opportunity of returning some of the nospitail- ties so kindly extended by the Enghst people at Cape Town, RAILWAY NUISANCES, No Locomotive Whistles to be Sounded in the Future—An Important Meeting of the Board of Health, At the meeting of the Board of Health yesterday Commissioners Sinith and Chandler reported that on September 10 they met by appointment John M. Toucey, Superintendent of the-Audson River Railroad; Charles M, Bissel, Superintendent of the Mariem Railroad; E. M. Read, Superintendent of the New Haven Railroad, and Chauncey M. Depew, counsel to these companies, The subjects of discussion were the methods of abating the nuisances of coal dust, ringing of bells and the use of the steam whistle. ‘The ringing of bells on locomotives is Teavired by law within eighty reds of every street crossing, thus preventing the com- pany irom discontinuing the bells, It Was agreed that the whistles should cease below the Harlem River. Great difiiculty 1s experienced in the burn- ing and uee of coal, but it was decided to abate this nuisance, as lar as practicabie, by the regula- tion of the fires on the locomotives. As a result of this conterence the companies issued the following order:— Manacen’s Orrice, Grann Cantrat. Deror, } i New Yorx, Sept. 12, 1874. By a recent action of the Iealth Board ofthe city of New York it is ordered that between Grana Central de- pot and Harte iver no locomotive whistles be sounded except in actual casex of danger. C 3 must see that all train hands are at their posts 8 without a call from en- much ax practicable. Bells must, however, be ‘all grade crossings ax heretofore. It is also ed that smoke be abated between Grand Ceniral depot and Harlem River as much as possible, To ac- couplish this fires must be ignited long enough before starting from Grand Central depot to insure coal being thoroughly coked and @ sufficient amount of stean: to carry the train to 100th street without repicnishing fires, Af possibie, aud keep train moving at the required spoed: Engineers of trains coming south must come prepared to avoid replenishing fires between Harlem River and 120th street and south of 100th street. Between 1wth and 120th sireet fires may be replenished and if positively necessary south of 100th street it must be done where it is thinly settled and prove as Little an- | noyance to citizens as possible. In passing through the | tunnel always run with furnace door open, Cylinder | cocks must alwavs be closed after passing Forty-eighth } street, going north. J. M.TOUCEY, Manager. Dr. Harris, Registrar of Vital Statistics, reported thatin the week ending on the 12th inst. there were 583 deaths, while in the previous week the number was 602, The mean temperature last week was 72.1. During the last jour weeks the mortality among infants decreased very much, The mortality of the last week was equivalent toa yearly death rate of 30,3. The death rate of Vienna has been smail this summer by reason of its new and splendid supply of pure water. Dr. Day, the Sanitary Superintendent, reported the routine doings of the Sanitary Bureau. The reports weré approved and the Board adjourned, THE FIRE GOMMISSIONERS, ‘rhe Fire Board was to hayg met at Fireman's Hail yesterday morning, but there was not a quortim of its members present, The books of the Fire Commissioners are now being examined by Commissioner of Accounts Howe, charges of the and apply and release bre ginee: | same character having been made against: the | Fire Commissioners as those the Commissioners of Charities and Correction are laboring to dispel. It 18 deciared that nepotism has been in vogue among the Commissioners, that supplies of teed, &c., were provided by their relatives to the De- partment without tueir having been awarded con- tracts thereior, in accordance with the pro- visions of the charter, which says that all supplies or materials for the departments, amounting in value to $1,000 or over, shall be advertised for. Commissioner Howe only began bis investigation on Monday, and it is, thereiure too soon now for any results to be stated. CHARITIES AND OOERBRECTION, The Commissioners of Charities and Correction met yesterday morning, but attended to little be- | yond the ordinary routine of business. They de- cided to forward their reply to the charges made against them by Commissioner of Accounts Howe to Alderman Cooper, Chairman of the Law Com- mittee of the Board of Aldermen, to-morrow, The Commissioners say that this document will be a compicte answer to the charges. When the reply has been sent to the Board of Aldermen the Com- Inissioners Will immediately make it public, QOITY EALL GO3SIP, The attachés of the Sherif’s office met yesterday and passed resolutions of condolence witb the fam- lly of the late Deputy sherit!, Charles A. Brown, who aied irom the effects of a fall from a car on Friday last. They also resolved to attend the juneral of the deceazed. The Board of Apportionment will meet on Friday at noon for the transaction of business. At she meeting of the Board of Aldermen on Thursday anew ordinance will be submitted for approval which will enforce on all dealers in hay and straw to give the net and gross weight of each bale, thus preventing the sale for hay or straw of heavy green wood. The ordinance is to take effect five months alter its passage. “OUR MODEL POLIOE. A Saloon Keeper Clubbed for Refusing to Give a Woman Liquor. At about half-past elght o'clock Tuesday night @ Woman of notorious character, who appears at the Tombs Court now and then in the role of pris- | oner, went into the lager beer saloon kept by Fer- dinand Genna, at No. 43 Mulberry street, and called fora giaas of beer. Genna gave her the beer, and when she had drank it siie marched to- ward the door, saying she had no money to pay | | | for her drink, Believing what she said to be true, | Genna issued from belind the counter and as- | sisted the woman into the street, Jn a few minutes she returned, in company with OMlcer Regan, of rest the proprietor for assault and battery. Genna was behind the bar cuttiyg bread, and as he does not understand Engush he did vot pay particular attention to what the officer said until he came up to tim and attenipted to drag him out. Genna’s wise ran to his assistance and the officer grabbed her and dragged her and her husband off to the station honse. In the station honse a charge of assault and battery was entered against the coupie by the woman who had refused to pay jor her beer. In the meantime the store and tts busi- ness were left to any One who chose to take pos- session of them. Yesterday morning, in court, the Judge dis- missed the case o1 assault apd battery, as he knew the complainant to be a person of unsteady habits and unworthy Of belief. Lhen Officer Regan, Nid had wade a boast that he would have the thought of the knife and entered a charge of as- sault and battery against Genna, which the Court entertained. Mr. Coman, the counsel for Genna, taxed the oMcer with having boasted that he would send the prisoner to the Island somehow or other, and he did not deny it, Judge Flammer thought what was called “the ousness and not on account of malice, and conse- quently he locked Genna up on the charge of tho omMicer, who, by the way, will not have the pleasure ol seeing the Italian go to the Island, as his fine | Was paid last night and he is to be released this | morning, This morning, at eleven o’clock, Coroner Croker will commence an investigation into the circum- stances attending the case of Jacob Hager, the in- fant two months old, who, it # alleged, was kid- napped by Elizabeth Munger, a discharged nurse, and clandestinely brought from the house of his parents in Greenpoint, L. L, to this city. The child, it will be remembered, was found in a pile of } lumber, foot of Nineteenth street, North River, with its skall fractured and in a dying condition, | but it lived long enough to be removed to Bellevue Hospital, when death ensued, During the exami- nation, which promises to be somewhat pro- tracted, witnesses wiil be called from Greenpoint, Jersey City, and also from this city. Kmineni counsel have been engaged for the prisoner. WESTCHESTER COUNTY FAIR, | The refreshing rain which descended upon the parched earth yesterday proved most inauspicious for the success of the Westchester County Fair, which was commenced on the grounds of the Ag- ricultural and Horticultural Society, near White Plains, on Tuesday. Throughout the day the num- ber of visitors.to be seen outside of the building devoted to the exhibition of fruits, vegetables and miscelancous products of domestic art and in- dustry was not calculated to make a favorable im- pression upon the minds of the managers, and even in the departments mentioned it was easily observable that the excessive moisture outside had proved au effectual “damper” on the spirits of the meagre attendance. Those in charge of re- freshment stands presented pictures of despair, while the proprietors of side shows and ‘live curi- osities”’ looked a8 though their tents had been | pitched in the wrong place, It was arranged that trials of speed and other attractive features would be introduced to-day, but owing to the heavy con- dition of the track it is scarcely probable that owners of fast horses will be anxious to test the | merits of their'respective ‘avorites under sach ad- verse circumstances, I¢ 18 not improbable that, in view of the weather, the racus Will be post: pongs until next weeks the Sixth precinct, who ssid he had come to ar- | ‘alian sent-up to the Island somehow or other, | boast” might have been said on account of zeal- | THE HAGER KIDNAPPING AND MURDER CASE, | THE WEBSIER STATUE. wa Letter from the Sole Surviving Literary Executor of the Massachusetts States man. The fohowing letter from Mr. George Ticknor Curtis was written and forwarded to the H&RALD before the writer had learned of the death of his brother, Judge B. R. Curtis, whose demise was an- nounced in the HERALD yesterday morning: New Yor, Sept. 15, 1874. To tux Eprror or tre Henao Tread in your paper a few du offer of Mr. Burnham to erect a coiossal Lrouze statue of Paniel Webser in Central Park, aud having been an intimate triend of Mr, Webster and beiug his sole sur- Viving literary ex Tnaturally read this proposal With the deepest in: T had not at that time the pleasure of Mr. Buruugin’s personal wequaintance, bat | Mminediately sought to know him, and w express to him my grateful appreciation of his pubic spirit and of the generosity of his noble offer, As I found him filled with &@ hearty zeal and a profound feeling of veneration tor the great statesinan whom he wishes to commemorate, no ove will think it singular that he should have my ‘warmest sympathy. 1tls a great thing that Mr. Burnham has offered to do. Itis no less than to transmit to posterity, by all that the art of sculpture can do, ap adequate idea bf the person of ‘one of the most remarkable inen that America hay pro- ‘ince the magnificent duced. tis not necessary to claim for Mr. Webster that he was the resiost statonman of his time. What he was, what he did for his country, in Whata peculiar rela- tion’ he stood to the people of the United states, what was his intellectual i pre-eminence, What was the union in him of vast mental power and ‘purest patriotism, all are weil aware. All, too, are aware that in himn'the physical man was, in ihe most extraordinary degree, an embodiment and éxmbition of the mind and character that were uniied with his mortal frame. We who knew him were accustomed to feel that there never Was such another human presence; and it those who never telt the influence of that presence may think that this was enthusiasm, there 1s yet upon the siage of lite hardly any onewho will say that he has ever encountered in any other human being so much that was grand andimposing. His image is now fixed in the imaginations of probably multitudes than 1 that of any man who las lived in the ant one hundred years, with the exceptions of Washing- on and Napoleon. But the generations Who knew him and can certity of him to future ages are rapidly passing away, It is not an idealized Webster that those who are to come aiter us will desire, They will want as we him; they will want our testimony, the seal of our atiestation that what he was in the flesh is what we Dave lett on the canvas, or M the marble or the bron: fas our conception of Daniel Webster. Tothis end what 1s needtul to be done js to follow nature with as careful adherance to fact and truth as the exigencies of art will permit, Fortunately for the treatment o: this great subject’ thatartist who can produce the most iaith(ul exhibition of Mr. Webster's person will produce the best portrayal o! the mind and character that his person embod In this respect, as in many more, he was uil- ike many other men whom we know to lave been per- sons of extraordinary mental gifts, so fully did’ his physical irame and presence bespeak the magnitude of is intellect and the strength of his character. Thave smd that Mr, Webster stood in a peculiar rela- tion to the people of this country. Permit me briefly to explain what I mean by this. | The generation that made and established the constittition of the United. States were so situated that they could not leave to us an au- thoritative and exact defnition of the nature of the Union which they formed. Many of their arrangements for the distribution of powers between the central gov- ernment and the states, as well as the character and forms of the representation in the former, were nece sarily the results of compromise ; and alter the coustit tion had been framed and nap itbecame necessary to impose limitations of power jn order to preserve the liberties of individuals and of States, Te. logical con sdquende Of these arrangements, as faing the character of the governivent, Was Hot foreseen with pFécision. There was, or appeared to be, fora consiverable period of time, room for fe and doubt as to the real nature’ of the Omon; while at the sa was certain that the truth lay somewh from the nature of th sm the purposes ior which they wére 1 ithe evolu- tion of political truth that practice ang Administration were destined to produce, therg must be discovered at some fime a sate ind oohsistent ground on whien “Liberty and Uniog, NOW and forever, one and insepar- ie” u ly rest_ason impregnable founda- served for Daniel Webster, on a single effort, to satisty this ture of the constitution id T suppose this to have been, asI believe Lha here sald, the only imtance in the hrstory of tree government ‘in which ie character of & great political system has practically turned on a single debate and on the argumentation of & single staesman. I sey practically turned; because I suppose it to be true, notwithstanding all that has since occurred, that Mr. Webster's great argument against Hayne, in 1880, did establish the theory of the Union on which'slone the late civil war can be justified, and which that war confirmed by arms. T should expand this letter to a most unreasonable length if were to touch on half of the reasons why this great person should receive the commemoration of a Starve in the chicf city of this Union. It isa case that needs no such discussion. All men teel alike in regard toit. All feel that we cannot afford to lose such an op- portunity as is now offered to possess a suitable statue of Webster. I um not specially acquainted with the reasons tbat have caused some hesitation in the acceptance of Mr. Burnham’s proposal, but I feel a strong conviction that all difficulties ought'to be and can be surmounted, so that the public may be enabled to thank both the generous donor who is ready to bestow and the Commis- sioners Who may receive this most appropriate oruag ment of the Central Park.
