in which the Fifteenth AMENDMENTS

The Democracy carried Indiana, be-
cause similar issue was made, and
because Democratic candidates spurn-

In Ohio tho policyitcs gave us a

A Rare Phenomenon

The Chicago Tribune says that a Gu
r'ous and very rare planetary position
will occur OIL the Sth and 9th of next
month, TO which no attention has hilh.
erlo been called, and it seems to have
escaped the notice even Of the comp,lers
OF the Astronomical Ephemeriles. For
the space of two whole days and five
hours the planet Venus will be behind
the sun, as viewed from any part of the
earth's surface. Tie planet is then on
the further side Of her orbit and her
relative motion only l5k minutes Of arc
daily, while at the instant of coniunc-
ton she will be within forty eight sec.
onds OF arc Of the suns centre. The
brigh Int planetary spot will apparently
touch the Western edge Of the sun at
eleven o'clock, P. Nj. on tho 9th of De-
cembcr, Chicago time, and emerge from
behind the solar disc, on its Eastern
edge, al 4 o'clock on the morning of the
9th. The phenomena ofimmcrsion and
cmerslon Will not be visible at Chicago,
the sun being below onr horison on
both occasions, but the two bodies may
be seen through the telescope as almost
IN contact late in the afternoon of the
9Th and early in the morning Of the
9th of December. The emcrsion will
be visible in Europe. The phenomc.
non is about AS rare as the transit of tho
same planet across the suu's disc, which
occurs only once OH tho average in 57I
years. The next transit will occur in
December 1874.

fastened it's beal and talons into the

Of tho four members to Congress

phia Evening Bulletin, three are nc.
groes, and one is white man mcaner
than the meancst negro. Whatever
the faults Of the white people of the
State may be, it is undeniablc that
they arc among the most respectable
and intellectual in the country. Is it
not humillnting to every American to
soc thcm ruled by horde of ignorant
half-barbarous negroes? Do not the
people of the North feel indignant at
the fact that their present condition
has bcon brought about by the terror
ism exercised over them by armed mobs
of savagcs, backed by the Federal
military and civil authorizes. Let the
people Of South Carolina bear their
Ills with patience aud dignity. Two
years hence tho voters of tho North

when they reduced tho South to sub
iection to the Union they had no in
tention whatever of placing them at
ut tho mercy Of ponnilcss, unletterod

themselves Othello Clark VIM. Green and R. NJ.
Wilson, hailing from Taylor Co., W. Va, were
arrested by J. T. Parent, Chief of Potice on
Monday last as horse thieves. They had in their
possession, at Burke's Stable, three horses accu-
rately answering description of three horses
stolen from a Mr.. Hooker, in Brooke county, W,
Va, on March oath, the description of which had
been forwarded from Steubenville, Ohio, to our

When the sun his rays was sheooln &, ,

AS entranced there was listening,
To the melting, merry music on the breeze;
When beneath tree reclining
Where no ray Of sun was shining,
LolI saw afeloa-being on the ground;
Though no other feature shifted,
Quickly, soon his eyes nplifted,
Upward lifted, as he wildly looked around.
