To the Editor of the Union


SIR: In your report of the proceedings of the House
of Representatives Saturday last, am represented to
have uttered the following sentence:
'The object to appropriate So, ooO to enable the
Secretary of the Navy to send corps of scientific gentle
meu on an expedition South America, Tor the purpose
making observations of the planet Venus, the time of
her approaching transit the face of the the
point OF greatest elongaon for the purpose OF obtaining
data for the determination of the distance of the
from the earth"
This report is not only entire Misrepresentation Of
what said but it contains very ludicrous absurd
ties and contradictions. There cannot be transit at
the point of greatest eongation" and transit of the
planet Venus will occur for more than quarter of
century to This error is carried not only through
out the whole of my remarks, but into those of
other gentlemen who participated in the debate.
The proposition was to make observations upon the
planet at the times of her rerograde motions, pursu
ance of new method of obtaining the suns parallax
proposed by Dr. Gering, of Marburg
There other inaccuracies in the report; but
the subject is not of general interest content myself
with the request that you will make this slight correc
ton.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
FRED. p. STANTON.
