The Sentiment in Washington.
Correspondence of The New York Herald

Correspondence Of The New i ork Hcrald.]
WASHINGTON, August 4, 1874.
There is q dearth OF politicians in Wash
ington at this season of the year, lamentably
so among the Democrats and Liberal Repub.
licans; yet there are enough to keep alive
the absorbing topic of third term for Grant.
The statement printed in the Herald of to-
day from Long Branch, to the effect that
Grant was anxious to be the Presidential
candidate of the opposition party in 1876,
was meagrely anticipated here by the press,
but enough came to whet the appetite of the
inquisitiye politicians for more, so the Her.
aid was in great demand this evening.
TIE PRESIDENTS EXPRESSED SENTIMENTS.
To those familiar with the PRESIDENT.
views during the last session of Congress his
reported utterances at Long Branch con.
corning the welfare of the South are reitera-
tons of sentiments expressed at different
times during the last winter and spring.
Perhaps none were more significant or en-
phatic than the remarks made to several
Louisiana and Mississippi Congressman
when he said, II begin to think it is time
for the Republican party to unload" AT
other times be declared that the South had
borne the burden of oppression long enough,
and hepeeforth his policy would be to ap.
point native southern men to Federal offices,
and should do all in his power to see the
wrongs of the South righted. So frequent
were bis utterances of good will toward the
South that Republican congressman began to
wonder what it meant. The shrewder ones
deyned it to mean aspirations for q third
term, and by that rule all of the Presidents
subsequent utterances were interpreted. In
fact, the purpose was so plain to prominent
Democratic congressman that in the hearing
of your correspondent the remark was fire.
quently made, "We will take Grant as oul
candidate if the Republicans don't want
him."
SOUTHERN LEADERS FAVORABLE.
Among those interviewed tonight the
| HerdldS important announcement respect
| ing Grants ambition and the path be is will
ing to take to lead him to victory for tht
South greater than any achieved over it doe:
not appear improbable. With provi>o thai
| he will not sign the ciyii-rights bill, or coun
| tenance further Federal ipsolence in thu
southern States, they all say, We would
only be too gla9 TO trust him another term
| The sentiment Of Senator BrOwnloW on this
point is wildly revived at this time wher
! he said:
"The people of the South, illiterate ant
educated, know that while Grants Presiden,
they have nothing 10 fear, and doubt MOI
that in the event of bis denomination be
would receive the votes of the southern peo
pie by acclamation."
WHAT fRE REPUBLICAN, LEADERS WILL DO.
There Is much inquiry also as to what thu
leaders of the Republican party will now dc
should the President halt, and whether We
are to have condition OF affairs politically
like that which marked the last years of Pre-
sident Johnson's administration.

From the Boston Advertiser.
TIE TRANSIT Or VENUS

The English press received report.
from a very large number OF expedl-
tions to observe the transit Of Venus
besides those from which we had in
formation. The fortune of the par
ties was various, but on the whole
favorable. Some facts reported by
astronomers are intensely interesting
TO those who have studied the pro-
gress Ct modern astronomy. For ex-
ample, DR.. Jansen, who occupied "a
station in Japan, telegrapaed that
Venus was seen over the SUMS curo-
ma before contact with his disc. The
existence OF this corona as a solar
atmosphere or envelope is one of the
modern discoveries, and the spectro-
scope has played an important part
la determining its character. Now
for the first Tune planet has been
seen projected against tins corona.
The ia cts AID theories of DR.. Jansen
will be awaited with abso, bins inter-
est. The question whether there
would be a "back drop"-that il,
whether the disc of Venus would
appear to be elongated toward the
edge Of the >un disc just at the mo-
ment of interior contact was much
di cussed before the transit. II the
surface of a pan Of water be barrel,
touched with the fingers end, and
the finger be then raised slightly
above the surface, everyone knows
that there will still be a conn Getting
drop. The black drop of astronomers
is very similar phenomenon. Seve-
raj Of the dispatches from observers
report that no black drop was seen,
and we do not find that anyone re-
ports that it was seen. This is as
good as absolute proof that the phe-
nomenon was only an optical illusion,
which better instruments and more
careful Oh .ervalion have enabled OBJ
servers to correct. The only other
point that we can notice at this time
is that the French astronomers have
relied mainly upon daguerreotype
plates rather than upon photo
graphs on glass, and strangely enough,
nearly all the astronomers ale now
saying that the silvered plate is by
far the more accurate. 1t Is pity
that they had not come to that CEN
clusion sooner.

CHRISTMAS OBsERVANCEs
VISIT TO THE JAIL--ITS INMATES
PRISONERS INSANE.

A VISIT TO THE JAIL--ITS INMATES
PRISONERS
Christmas was quietly observed in
Kenosha. Places IF public business
were generally closed and the day given
20 public and social enjoyment. As we
did not attend any public places or social
gatherings, and, as those who did have
given no account Of them, we can make
no report of them. From the County VIC
nave few interesting reports which are
printed in this paper.
The only visit or call we made was to
the Kenosha County Jail In the bas e.
ment story of thr Court House. We
found the Sheriff, though not dining nor
at the dining hour, in his dining room,
IN the same floor with the Jail.
Other duties requiring the Sheriff's
immediate attention, We made the
prisoners and the insane but q
short visit and only through the bars,
posponing q more social visit to another
time.
There ware six insane. thought to be
incurable, and two prisoners in the Jail.
The Jail is generally fortunate in having
but few prisoners, and unfortunate in
having too many ncurable insane. And
the Jail is generally fortunase in its in
mates enjoying good health, there sci.
dom or never being any sickness of
either prisoners or insane.
Both prisoners and insane are unfor-
tunate in being the Jail. The jail may
be and is suitable enough for the most
of prisoners, especially if those outside
will come to those 10 prison. The Jail is
entirely unsuitable for the insane, not
because there is rot room, not because it
~ not ventilated, not because 1t might
not be made comfortable, nor because It
is not healthy, bus rather because the
Sheriff is not elected for and has not The
suitable qualifications. and is not fur
nlshed with the necessary appurtenans
ces and suitable appliances and facilities
tol the comfort and care and cure Of the
insane.
Other places than jajls, with better
appurtcnanceA and facilities, and other
Ulcers than Sheriff's, with better qualif-
cations, and with their whole time and
energies devoted to the purpose. are
necessary Tor the comfort and care and
cure Of the insaue
