Several excellent photographs of the sun at the periods of the planct’s con- tacts were obtained. All the instruments of the Americans vorked with great satisfaction. (Kerguelen, or Desolation Island, is a barren tract of land, situated in the Indian Ocean, in latitude 49 deg. 54 min. south, longitude 70 deg. 10 min. east (from Greenwich).

While the success(ul record of the moments of the contacts of Venus with the sun’s rim as noted at Kerguelen will not be of very great importance to the scientists employing the Delisiean method of calculation, it will be of vast consequence to the American astronomers who are to use the method of Halley.

So far as he (Mr. Morton) was per- sonally concerned, it afforded tim no pleas- ure to advert to this Louisiana question again on the floor ol tne Senate. He would be quite Willing to have the vote taken witnout say- ing a word, but for the tact that a number o! new Senators were present, Who probably were not as famitar with all tne facts as the old Senators, He, iherelore, leit it to be his duty to present to the Senate again the ground upon whiten tae Com- mittee on Privileges and Elsct.ons reported itn navor of Pinchoack, Mr. Morton then reviewed the organization of the State government in Louisiana, tue organiza. tion of the Legislature whien eiected Pinchback, &eo., and said the first question, he would pre was—what are the rights’ of Mr. Pine back under the cervilicate of election now betore the Seuate? iis first proposition was that Air, Pinchback had a prima Jucie case wnien entitied him to be sworn tu, and any objection as to the manner O! bis election oF the character of the body which elected aim must be inquired into alterward, It haa been hela irom the beginning that the certificate of election sigued oy a Gover- | nor was the proper evidence o1 a rigat to a seat upon this floor. tle tien reierred to the contested cuses of Spencer, from Alabama, 1 1871; Gold- thwatte, rom the same State, in 1873; General Shields, trom illinois, in 1849, and the Rhode Island case of Potter against Robbins, in 1832, and are gued that it was indispeusabie to the integrity of the Senate that it should be the inflextole rmie that a member holaing the proper credential | should be admitted to a seat; olherwise one-third of the body might be obiected to. and exciuued. ‘The organization of the Senate must be complete, and it could not be in the power o! any party by ,tactious opposition to exclude Sen. THE STATUS OF KELLOG The next question he desired to present was eae Keliogg was Governor of Loutsiana io 873, aud was entitled to be sworn in, The action vf a Governor of a State must be received until it was aetermined by both houses of Congress that he was hot the iawlul Governor.

STATE ELECTION TO-DAY Lively Doings on the Last Days of the Campaign. —_—~. A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY PROPHESIED, ConcorD, March 8, 1875. The State election tn New Hampshire to-morrow Promises to be @N important and interesting event im politics, It is not going ro be one of those ye od serene occasions, like other elections in the Eastern and Northern States, but it 18 Keriousiy threatened with scenes of disorder, and, perhaps, dangerous violence. It is, of course, to be hoped that these feariul anticipatious will not be reailzed; but the party feeling all around is 80 oltier ana the charges and countercharges of fraud so pumerous and well founded that fears Of riot and bioodsned are justifiable, This ts more especially true of the neighboring city of Manches- ter than any other section of the State, althouga here in Concord and down in Portsmouth party animosity ts almost bordering on a state of spon- taneous combustion, DEMOCRATIC WAYS THAT ARE DARK. The democrats are the alleged offenders, and, if one-half of the charges made against them by their opponents are true, their acts to secure a fresh lease of political supremacy are at least open to criticism and investigation, 1! ts claimed,that in Manchester alone three or tour nuoared dis- qualified 1oreigners have been put through a nat- uralization process, and that they will attempt to vote the democraue ticket to-morrow, eitner oa their own names or clse by personating dead men and non-residents, 1t 1s also urged that pro- lessional repeaters have been imported, in large numbers, and that they are to work in the interest of a democratic success, This latter allegation is possibly an exaggeration, but that there bas been a good deal of “cooked naturalization accomplisned is undoubtedly & fact and it will be by = resisting the balloting of these newly made voters that a riot in Manchester 1s tikely toensue. both par- ties grasp at tlhe Jatntest straws to make capital, as bas been mantiested by the threatened troubie in Manchester to-cay. The early trains this morn- ing were loaded with democratic circulars, the purport of which would lead the nervous and un- suspecting to believe that the State 1s on the eve of a rebellion instead o! an election. They alleged, in heavy black letters, that the United States oMcers, at the dictation of the republitcans, are | attempting to intimidate voters and the civil authorities of Manchester, and that they will make a desperate howl about it being necessary to secure bayonet rule to have a fair election. The document all through abounded in astound- ing language about federal interference, and, in conclusion, expressed the opinion that i circu, Jated among the ireemen of New Hampshire tt would help the democrats at least a thousand votes, : REPUBLICANS ON THE RAMPAGE. The republicans, too, sent out a “blood and thunder” circular during tbe day about the wicked devi of the democracy, gross frauds in naturalization and the infamous practices of the democratic leaders. “See to it,” the circular says, “that the party which dares to insult you and heap dishonor on the graves of your sous who died in battle by bringing here the revel Genera’, Gordon and Lamar, who stlil swear by the lost cause to Instruct you concerning your po- litical duties. Behave in a manner which wil! effectually prevent @ repetition of the insult. Come on ali, in your might, and strike down tne perjured Bourbon yeariing dynasty and once more Taise over our beloved State the standard of an honest government.” A LIVELY CAMPAIGN. Both the democratic and republican circolars are documents which their authors will be ashamed of alter the election, and itis to be noped they will not ignite the torch of riot and violence. ‘This 1s not certain, however; but it 18 safe to as- sume that if there is an outbreak between the fac- tions the United States Marshal will endeavor to suppress ir, and his arrangements toward that end are believed to be more complete than 1s gen- erally known, During the past week or Jortnignt the campaign nas been exceedingly lively. Even to-night, the very last betore the election, meet- ings of both sides have been held In all important cities and towns in the State. The democrats have had the most distinguished and logicai speakers; but the republicans have surpassed them im numbers with orators of only local fame. The former have done the most quiet and effective electioneertng, in a personal way, but then repud- lican opponents have indulged more largely in | splurges and popular demonstrations, Between saonld | the two, therei there has been an abundance of political volcanoes all round, and the sturdy voters ought to be able to vote understandingly to-morrow. NATIONAL POLITICS DISCUSSED. The points discussed by the rival speakers have | been almost exclusively of a national character, and hence the resuit of the election will be of great importance and significance jast now. Tho weakness through their extreme partisanship tn | State affairs ducing the past year, but they argue 1n @reasonable Manner that their losses in this direction wilt be more than overcome by the popuiar rebuke by the republicans, of the crimes and bluaders of the National Administration, CHANCES OF BOTH PARTIES EQUAL. Both parties claim to have made a thorough canvass of the State, and each openly proclaims that their own side will win. This air of conf- dence, however, is chronic with New Hampshire politicians, The vanquished never admit tt until the returns are all in, ‘The chances appear so provokingiy equal this year that both sides ought to be pardoned for being so much more than usually confident. Great shrewcness has been displayed both by the repablicans and demoorats in the management of the campaign. The latter, profiting somewuat by the experiences of former years, have kept away the old beats and hangers-on of the democracy, and have only put into the flela men of ability capable of discussing the issues of the period, Senator Gordon, the ex-rebel General of Georgia, who made his opening speech at Littleton on Saturday evening, surprised even his opponents by his calm and dispassionate discussion of matters at the Sonth, THE SOUTH AND ITS PROSPECTS. | cae it is true, have gatned some littic | | be the jrutts ot bad government, and he belteved they would not be improved until the North was of the color line which is now maintained by fed- eral authority. Representative Lamar, of Misstssippl, in nis speech at Nashua, the same evening, was equally character, and bis address was remarkably non- partisan, consisting merely of a statement of facts, braced by reports of Congressional investi- gation, and & logical tracing of quietude that exist, containing scarceiy an allu- whatever to the approaching election. He spoke for about two hours, not concluding till nearly eleven o’ciock and retained the closest attention there were loud calis for him to continue, The address Was earnest and foreible and made a deep impression upon those Who iistened toit, The speakers on the republican side, it must be con- Jessed have not been So dignified in their arguments their opponents, bat itis not to assume that they have not been effectual in carrying con- viction to the minds of many wavering voters.

PROPHECIES OF THE RESULT. There Is scarcely a man in New Hampshire to night who would risk uls reputation prophet by openly anticipating the resnlt. Your corre. sSpondent, perhaps, is one of the few who ailido this, and wishes to say, by way of pretace, thas the conclusions are not gives asinfallible, The only positive prediction I wili venture 13 the eleo tion of Frank Jones, democrat, ta the Portsmouts Congressional district. The indications other Wise also point to a general democratic victory, the election of the democraite ticket and the eleg ton of the democratic Congressmen iu the re maining districts, A democratic Legisiature sno inevitable, therefore it may be the United State Senatoriai election next summer will result in 4 republican victory. Mr. Kolins, the industrioue manager of the republican forces during the campaign, has hopes, if not confidence, tn tni¢ direction, apart irom the legislative results of the election which { decline toreckon on, The judgment ofan impartial! correspondent is that returns to-morrow night will show the elections by a close vote of a democratic State ticket an@ an entire democratic Congressional delegation, ~~ OBITUARY.
