The TRANSIT OF VENUS, preparations for
the observation Of which are now being made,
be visible in any part OF the United States, as
the time will be night on our side of the globe.
Congress has made an appropriation OF $50 900
to properly organize parties to observe the
transit, of which $50 900 is to be applied TO the
construction of instruments. Ii has also auth
orized the Secretary of the Navy to detail two
vessels to transport the expedition to the points
Of destination. The work Is under the general
direction of q commission, consisting of Admir-
al Sands superintendent of the National Obser-
vatOry, who is the president of the commission;
sors Of mathematics; Prof. Henry, president of
national academy of sciences, and Prof. Pierce,
superintendent of the coast survey. Prof.
Hardness has charge of designing the in

-Four Of these will be in the southern hemis-
phere and located in the Kergulin Islands, in
the Indian ocean; Hobartstown, Van Dieman's
Land; Bluff Harbor, New Zealand, anu the
Auckland or Campbell Islands. Four In the
northern hemisphere will be established at
Nagasaki and Yokohama, Japan; Valadinstah,
Eastern Siberia, on the sea of Japan, near the
COrean boundary, and at some point In North
ern China, either at Shanghai or Pekin. The
observing parties will start from Washington
next June. Each observing party will consist
OF one chief and one assistant astronomer,
one principal and two assistant photographers.
The time occupied in the transit will be four
hours, and the purpose is to take two hun
dred Photographic views during the pas
sing. Shelter for the instruments will be
put up here, and the expeditions will go out
fully appointed. so as to be entirely iudepen-
dent of the locality to which they are destined.
There is now at the observatory q working

Among the valuable instruments now being
constructed under the superintendence Of Prof.
Hardness is field telescope of five-inch aper-
tnre and six-fOot focus, mounted automatically
with clock woTk; portable transit instrument
Of two-and- a half-inch aperture, arranged for

Geographic apparatus, magnetic instruments,
pendulum apparatus to determine the figure

Additional Compensation Bills.

NAsHINGTON, ID. T., j une ~, 1873.
Nr. Editor A brief but well-timed article in
your issue of yesterday on the subject OF care
and economy i'm District appropriations sug-
gests this communication. Aessrs. Hunt q
Williams, contractors and builders OF the JEFF
ferson school building, are persstently urging
q claim before the District Legislature for SIo,-
600 additional compensation over and above
the sum for which they contracted to do that
work. IL IL becoming too common an occur
renee for PARTIES who take q contract 1t the
lowest bid, 70 subsequently present a heavy
claim for reief, and IL IL noteworthy that by
sore hOcss pocus they invariably succeed in
their demands. In this way the people are de-
frsuded Of the benefits of competition in such
cases, and are compelled 20 pay the highest In
stead of the lowest prices. To guard against
this evil Congress has enacted In the 15th sec
ton OF the organic act that "the Legislative
Assemblysshail never grant or authorize srtrd
Compensation, fee, or dIlOlocnce, 20 any public
officer, agent, servant, or contributor, after ser
race hdt been rendered or a CONTRACT ssade." And
again In the Eth section, that 1.-THE Legislative
Asse mbly shall have no power 20 release or en-
tinguish, in whole or I'm part, the Indebtedness,
liability, or obligation OF any corporation or an
