covered.

their horses and arresting the drivers. The ar
gument was adjourned TO Wednesday.
There was an increased number of horses on
the streets to-day, also an increase in the num-
Der of cars running on the different railroad
routes. The disease is evidently abating, but it
will be some time vet, from the condition of the
horses, before the disease disappears from the
city and neghbOrhood. A diSagrceable charac-
teriStic of the epidemic is the number of dead
horses inithe streets. Facilities for removal are
not equal to the demand.

abatement Of the horse disease.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.--The usual hustle and
excitement attending the eve of political battle
was prevalent to-day. Candidates for office
were industriously working for personal inter-
eSts, politicians giving instructions to their fol-
lowers.
James 0'Bren has an enthusiastic troop in
every ward, and feels confident of election to the
maYoralty, and hopes for over 20 600 majority
Many of his adherents claim that he has been
promised large republican vote. Large sums
oil money are reported TO have been distributed
IN his name among the laboring men in uptown
wards. The enthusiasm for O'Brien on the east
side has occasioned the report that a precon'
cered attack will be made upon the Hayemeycr
boxes tomorrow.
The rumor spread to-day that Havemeyer had
| WlthdraWn, and it was the theme of universal
remark, but it proved entirely unfounded.
Iammany Hall is crowded with politicians,
who exhibited much enthusiasm for Lawrence.
Its challengers have been instructed TO keep
close watch upon the ranks of 0'Bren, as it is
reported that fraud will be attempted in his in
terest on a large scale.
In betting, 0'Brieu il the favorite, with Have
meyer close on his heels and Lawrence far he
hind. The presidential question seems TO excite
little interest, but the struggle for governor
promises TO he bitter, as certain followers OF
Apollo hail. who have renowned Tammany,
are unwilling TO vote for Dix. Rumor says that
Herman tickets will be run out of all the Apollo
hall boxes tomorrow. Betting, however, is
nearly two to one on Dix.
Marshal Sharpe has instructed his chief depu-
t es to inquire calmly into all cases of arrest,
and allow prisoners to depart on personal appli-
cation. IT, however, they think the prisoner
should be held, he is to be sent with witnesses to
the nearest United States commissioner.

FAIR ALL RoUHD.-At last the spot where
equal and exact justice is administered, and
where the quality of mercy is not strained, has
been discovered The locality is the rural dis
trict OF Gacia, in Austria, where the modern
forms of law, jury abuses, and judicial corrup-
lions have not yet penetrated. The case was
that of man who brought charge of leyity Of
conduct against his wife, who had been some
what indiscreet with third party, who bore the
character Of gay dcCeiyer. The magistrate
heard the case, and promptly sentenced the
indiscreet woman to receive eleven blows,
and TO pay TO the court two gallons OF
schnapps for the trouble she had caused it.
The injured husband was sentenced to six
blows, on the ground that if he had looked
after his wife properly she would not have been
lndiscreet, no trouble would have occurred, and
the court would not have been bothered with
his domestic broils As the woman had no
money, 1t was further ordered that he should
pay the costs and hand over the Two gallons of
sehnapps. The gay deceiver was the luckiest
one Of the lot, as nobody could find him, aud
he therefore escaped punishment.

PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE TRANSIT OF VENUS.
NJ. Faye, few days ago, called the attention of
the French academy of science TO the part which
photography was likely to play on the occasion
of the transit of Venus, which is expected 10
take place in December, 1874. He stated that
England was getting eight heiop Photographic
apparatus ready on the model of that at Kew.
three of which were ordered by Russia which
has one already. The Germans will have four;
Portugal will send the Lisbon one to Macao !;
the United States are also having some made
but on quite a different plan; and lastly,
France intends getting four constructed,
according to the directions of the late
NJ. Delaunay. There will therefore be
upwards of twenty on duty, underIthe manage
ment of quite as many first rate hands in pho
Biography, at the various places in both hemis-
pheres, where the phenomenon will be best Wis.,
bic for the measure of the suns paralax NJ.
tavre added that in this vast Photographic I'M
dertaking two methods were to be distinguished
in the first, an object glass, having a short
focal distance, was taken, giving very small
image, which would have TO be enlarged by a
special optical apparatus, in order afterwards
TO PROJECT it on the sensitive plate, and in the
second, a long focal distance was adopted, where
by the image might be obtained at once of a
proper size The former plan had the advan-
tage OF requiring only very light and managea-
bic telescopes, but there was also the drawback
OF the risk OF getting an incorrect image during
the process of enlargement. This danger is
avoided in the latter method, but there remains
the inconvenience Of transporting and setting
up telescopes measuring between 80 and SO feet
in length, which is certainly not encouraging.
The Americans, it seems, have nevertheless Sc
lected this system. NJ. Faye is also in favor of
il, having had theeXperience of the lunar eclipse
OF 1858, which was reproduced by photography
with admirable exactness of the first trial.
