How the South Feels.

A New York despatch 10 the Boston Post of
Monday states that the proprietors of leading
Democratic journals in South Carolina, Alabama
and Florida, with other prominent Southerners,
now in New York, declare their belief that the
1874 votes to:whch the South will be entitled at
Baltimore, will be cast in body for Greeley.
The reasons which are given seem to be stuff
cient to justify such action from their point Of
view, and considering the momentous interest
which they have at stake. With society nvert-
ed the country impover ished by carpet-bag
robberies, the tenure of property and life inse-
cure, and this state of things fostered by the
powers at Washington, the means of gett ing
rid of the Grant administration is considera-
ton that overrides all others. We of the north,
however much the necessity Of this Is apparent
to us, can have but little conception of the feel
ing of many and indignation which is forced
upon every Southern man. They. more than
the people of any other section may exclalm
Anybody but Grant," and take the surest
means to compass their desires. The despatch
to which we allude concludes as follows
They would be glad to be informed as to any
other mode of defeating GRAFT, but none has as
vet been made known, and they therefore con-
slider it important to remain no longer luke
warm. and TO organize at once for the campaign
with Greeley as their standard-bearer. 1t is,
they say. not very difficult m after to them to
differ with that portion OF the Democracy which
opposes Greeley, as they have not at all times
received at their hands that moral and political
support to which they considered themselves
entitled, and 1t will therefore, not be very easy
task to win them over to different views at
Baltimore. The colored people, they assert,
will also vote for the Greeley ticket.

Position o? MIR. HendrIoks.

Contradictory reports having been made
of the sentiments Of Hon. T. A. Hendricks,
Of Indiana, respecting the nominees of the
Cincinnati Convention, reporter of the
Enquirer. of that city, y,recently called upon
him. 1t is gratifying to learn that this
prominent Democrat of the west avows
himself 10 be in favor of awaiting and
abiding the result of the Democratic
National Convention. .as the position which
the party ought to maintain. He says
will make no effort to influence the action
of the National Democratic Convention, and
will abide by its decision. At this time in view
of the fact that there has been no concert OF
action among the leaders and prominent men Of
the party, it behooves all to move with pru-
dence, dignity and caution. The questions Of
indorsng the Cincinnati nominees, or making
straight out Democratic nominations, is one
that should be well weighed and carefully con-
sidered. 1t is impossible, at this early day, to
say what the feeling of the masses of the Dem
ocratic party in Indiana toward the Cincinnati
ticket is. As far a. can judge, the Democracy
of Indiana will not occupy any decided ground
until after the meeting of the State Convention,
which takes place on the 18th of next month
Th.t Convention will doubtless nominate a
straight Democratic ticket and refer the ques-
ton of Presidential nominations to the National
Convention. AS far as | am concerned, feel
IN duty bound to sustain the action of the
National Convention. If it nominates straight
Democratic ticket, Will support 1t with all the
zeal, influence and ability possess. If it in
dorses the nomination Of Greeley and Brown,
shall certainly support that ticket with equal
zeal and energy. Any other statement Of my
position in regard to this matter has been made
without authority.

iha Transit Of Venus.

The astronomical world is becoming
greatly excited and infested in regard to
the approaching transit or passage over
the suns surface, OF the planet Venus.
Only TWO Of the planets, Mercury and
Venus, have orbits within that of the earth,
and thus are able to present to Us this
phenomenon. The transts of Venus are
Of importance, as enabling astronomers TO
determine the suns distance, and, by the
application of known mathematical laws,
the distances of ali the other planets. The
last occurred in 1863. and was observed
with great care il opposite quarters of
the globe, by expeditions sent out by the
different European governments. The
English observations in the Pacific ocean
were by the celebrated navigator. Capt.
Cook, who soon afterwards entered upon
his distinguished career as an explorer.
the transits of Venus occur at alternate
intervals Of and lO5 years, and and
l2i years, The next one will happen
Dec. 5, 1874, and will be OF great interest
as test OF the accuracy of former obserya-
tons Scientific societies have petitioned
Congress to make liberal appropriations
for an expedition to the South Pacific
Ocean, the only locality where the transit
will be visible. Several OF the European
governments have also appointed scientific
corps for this purpose, and have made
ample appropriations to ensure full and
complete observations. Prussia and
Austria have been extremely liberal in
making arrangements for their scientific
corps, and our Government should not
fell behind them.
