Grant Sold-He is Dined and Wined Out Of
an Office for Swindler.
Fran the New York Sun, 9th.

| From the New OK ouu, otn'I
ANTEcEDENTs OF NOMINEES.
The antecedents of the gentlemen nom
| mated for various Federal offices in this
| city BY General Grant have been the
| subject of considerable Investigation
during the past few days among Office
holders, cffice-seekers and politicians
| 10 general. The numerous class who in
dulged in conversation on the subject
were generally uuchariiabIe enough to
! attribute the success Of the nominees OF
the President 20 their libereliiy in sub
scribing to the expenses of his election.
| They have been unable, however, to ac-
count for the nomination of one gentle
man, whom they regard as notorious
swindler.
The lucky citizen to whom we allude
is said TO have been introduced last sum-
mer by a millionaire to General Grant,
and the millionaire had accidentally
formed his acquaintance about year
previous to the introduction to Grant.
Both purchased residences opposite each
other, in region known as the Garden
of New York, and Of course they became
friendly neighbors. The millionaire knew
nothing of the antecedents OF his friend,
except that be had purchased splendid
mansion, which be had judiciously set
tied on his wife; but the acquaintance
ripened into friendship, until at last
General Grant, as the embryo President,
became alternately The guest of both.
During one of the costly entertain
ments, at which the chief magistrate of
the nation was the highest guest, he was
informed Of the desire of his host to pro-
cure certain Office in this city, and he
pledged his word of honor that the sine
cure should be given to him.
The President was reminded of his
promise about three weeks ago, and he
at once ordered his secretary to write the
name among others to be sent TO the
Senate for confirmation.
\ II has since been ascertained that this
lucky individual is notorious swindler.
II is charged that he procured goods on
credit to the amount Of 500 at oHe of the
leading dry goods establishments in this
city, aud when judgment was obtained
against him for the amount it was found
to be practically worthless, as he had
| settled his property on his wife. His
wife, however, died soon afierward, and
the shrewd lawyers of the merchant
whom he had previously defrauded made
the judgment operative, as the property
reverted to him, and recovered the
amount before Grants nominee had time
| to sell his real estate. The same gentle-
man has been defendant in suit be-
fore judge of one of the district courts,
| in which he was accused of defrauding q
widow Of $4500.

THE GREAT SOLAR ECLIPSE.
Times Correspondent.

The solar eclipse of August z attracted
great attention throughout the United
States, and in most places was observed
with advantage, the sky being cloudless.
In America the eclipse was first visible
at noon, near Sitka, Alaska /; and thence
the line of total observation ran south
easlwardly, through British America, en-
tering the United States about the centre
of the continent, passing through the
southwestern corner of Minnesota, diago-
nally through Iowa, crossing the Missis-
sippi zeal Burlington, Iowa; thence
through Illinois just north of Springfield,
through Indiana, crossing the Ohio river
near Louisville, thence through West
Virginia and North Carolina, passing near
Raleigh and Newbern, and entering the
Atlantic Ocean on the North Carolina

The moment the eclipse became total the
tame-Ilke protuherances were seen with
wonderful distinctueSS. One very large
one on the lower limb of the sun, and
three nearly as large on the upper limb,
together with three or four more, were
visible. The one on the lower limb had
somewhat The appearance of a full-rigged
ship with sails set. In its part nearest
the moon were two or three jet-black
spots. TO the naked eye it seemed as if
there were assures or openings in the
mo0n, two on the east and one on the
southwest side. Just after the total
eclipse, through these openings the lurid
glow OF the sun was distinctly visible.
The corona was not as usually described
In the books, a halo of light surrounding
the moon, but was distinctly seen to be a
tve-polnted prong on The lower, and two
pointed prong on the upper, circum.
terence OF the moon These points pre-
sented a radiant appearance. The astro-
nomerS' report that the generally received
theory regarding the corona, that it is the
atmosphere of the sun, does not appear
to be sustained by their observations at
Mattoon. They conjecture that the CO.
roma is formed In some way by the phe-
nomena Of light passing through the
earth'S atmosphere. Search was made,
but no planetary bodies were discovered
between Mercury and the Sun. The
temperature sank from ITO to 45o, and
returned to 700 during the eclipse, the
thermometer being kept in the shade.
A thermometer SET on the grass in the
sunlight, however, sank from 1920 10
600, and rose again to 800. At the Shell
byville (Kentucky) University the astron.
omerS, In addition to the phenomena men
toned above, report that the spectroScope
developed eleven bright lines in the spec
trum of the protuberances of the sun, only
five having heretofore been determined.
There was also a shower of meteors OBJ
served between the earth and the moon.
No ntra-Mercurical planets were dis
covered, nothing fainter than Regulus
being seen near the sun. Some minutes
before the total phase the usual signs of
distraction among the birds and cattle oc-
Cured. Boston announces that flying
clouds obscured the eclipse. At New
York, where fve-sixths Of the sun was
covered, it is reported that no protu-
berances were visible. At Washington,
where extensive preparations had been
made for viewing it at the National OBJ
servatory, clouds prevented IA satisfactory
observation of the eclipse. The only
matter reported is that the fowls station
ed about the ground did not, as a%ntici-
pated, go to roOst, but, on the contrary,
continued to peck away in the fields,
while cattle also were not p~erceptibly af-
fected. The sun was eIeven-twelfths OBJ
scured at Washington. Throughout the
, 1869-10-05

non OF q total eclipse OF the sun has not
been visible before In this country for
many years. Elsewhere ii was seen as a
partial eclipse. Long heraIded, extern
sive preparations were made fer observing
the eclip se at various points along the
line of total obScura;ion, and luckily ii
cloudless sky flvoured the astronomers
nearly everywhere. The eclipse was
preceded on the night of August 6 by
a brilliant. aurora boreoIis and "a change
to very cold weather. In PhiladeI pima
the thermometer sank during twenty-four
hours from go to Coz Fahrenheit. On
the night Of The 9th there was snow near
Montreal ami on the White Mountains,
while frost was reported from many parts
of the country. The eclipse, therefore,
began at Il time of unreasonable cOolneSS,
and had Il less p~erceptlb.e effect on the
thermometer than would have otherwise
been the case. The scientific observations
reported from various towns along the
line of total observation are of interest.
At Des MoineS, Iowa, the first contact
occurred at 3h. Ann. 43S. the total OBJ
security began at Ali. 45m. 30S. ; ending at
4h. 4Sm. OPS. and the last contact was
at 5h. 45m. lis. These periods are said
to be from six TO twenty-five seconds later
than the periods calculated. at Washing
ton. There was also a discrepancy re-
ported between the Calculation and OBJ
servaIiou of the corona. 1t was nearly
rhomboidal in form, very distinct, and
extended at some points halt IL degree
beyond the edge of the sun'S disk. The
rose-coIoured protuberanceS appeared to
the number of five or six, the greatest
being on the suns southwestern quarter.
The observations of the protuberanceS in
the Spectroscope showed a different spec
tram for each. Bat Il single band was
thrown blythe corona. The thermometer
showed a fall of 130 temperature during
the progress of the eclipse. During the
total observation Venus and Mercury
were visible TO the naked eye. The dark
ness exceeded that of night. The largest
protuberance was Semlcircular In shape,
with a finger extending downward one
eight part of the suns diameter. The
greatest length of the corona was in the
direction of the e%cIiplic. AT Springfield,
Illinois. the observations were IN charge
of Professor Pearce, OF Harvard, and 100
photographs of the eclipse were taken.
The corona was of a brilliant amber col
our. Mercury, Venus, and a number of
fixed stars were distinctly visible; but,
though search was made, no planetoidS
were discovered between Mercury and
the Sun. At the Illinois University, Mat
toon, Illinois, observations were made by
Professor Hough, of Albany, and Profess
sor Murray, of Rutgers College, New
Jersey, using only ordinary telescopes.
