LITTLE ROCK, Dec. 10, 1874.
The Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad and It's
land grant OF 100000 acres was sold to-day under
q decree from the United States District Court OF
the Eastern district Of Arkansas, and foreclosing
the mortgages given to Charles W. Huntington

The road and lands were sold for $4,000, and

tee representing the bondholders and the pur-
chasers will organize q company and proceed

to-day proposing to issue s2,oooooo in bonds
OF the State, and hypothecate the same

A Corrected Report Likely to Calm
the Public Feeling.

LONDON, Dec. 10, 1874.
Our correspondent reports from Madrid
that the Spanish press is greatly excited by
the receipt of garbled extracts Of President
Grants Message to Congress. A considerable
amount of language of very undiplomatic
character has been expressed in consequence.
CORRECTED AND roNINa DOWN.
The Madrid government has, however, re-
ceiyed corrected version of the paragraphs
from the American State paper, and there is
an expectation that the publication will
calm the uonnlar feeling.

Times for publication. The editor says that
the telcgrams which Mr.. James Gordon
Bennett, of the New YORK HERALD, enabled
the Times to publish, show that although the
weather was unfavorable at Nagasali (Japan),
nevertheless the observations made by the
American scientists were admirable.
TRIBUTE TO THE AMERICAN AsTRoNoMERs-
The same article AYERS that the exhaustive
methods of observation employed by the
American astronomers, so skilled in expedi-
tionary work, constitutes sufficient guaran-
tee that the results of their labors will go far
toward influencing the grand calculations
which the problem involves.
IMPORTANCE OF PROFESSOR HALLS WORK.
The details of the observations of the
American party under Professor Hall at
vladivostok (Siberia) have caused much re-
joicing in scientific circles here, in conse-
quence Of the applicability of the observers
records to the method of Delisle in estimat-
ing the distance Of the sun. Delisle's
method is, of course, in fashion here, and is to
be used by the Transit Commission and the
Astronomer Royal The Times expresses the
fear that Professor Halls observations will
prove useless in the employment of Halley's
method, but will be of great moment in the
use of Delisle's system by the English and
Russian astronomers. The careful determi-
nation of the instant Of the first two contacts,
as indicated in the American telegram, says
the same organ, renders the Vladivostok
observances of momentous Importance.
THE CHIEF feature OF Professor Haps observance
OF the transit was an accurate determination or
the instant OF time at which Venus seemed to col
Tide with the SUMS rim or limb the astronomers
call 1t. Inasmuch as the scientists in Africa thou
sands Of miles west OF Professor Hall, have care.
fully ascertained the moment when Venus passed
between them and the solar sphere, the time
which elapsed from the contact as seen at vadi-
vostok until the contact as seen In Egypt must
be the time consumed by Venus shadow
in flying from the Siberian to the Egyp-
tan meridian. This period once determined
the problem becomes capable OF solution accord
ing to the method or Delisle, as has already been
explained in the HERALD OF the 8oth ult. In
Halley's method, however, which Is to be en-
ployed by the American observers, the mapping
Of the Planets track across the face Of the sun
becomes matter OF primary and paramount i'm
portance, and at vladivostok the means OF de-
termning said track could not be used in conse-
quence OF the unfavorable state OF the weather.

Trusting That Congress Will DO tho
State Justice-A Journalistic Attack
General Emory.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 10, 1874
While the hostile feeling against the Returning
Board continues, and belief Is general that they
will not proclaim the democratic legislators
elected-the whites consent to trust to Congress
for relief If it comes before the meeting OF the
Legislature ON March 4. The Bulletin tonight
makes q furious assault upon Emory. Such an
assault, II uttered during Buffers regime,
would have led to the suppression OF the papers,
and have sent the editors 70 baSt1le. The cause
of the attack is said to be Emory's report decar-
ing the necessity or keeping the troops in the
South to sustain federal government. The article
attracts great attention, but In army circles espe
cIaly 1t Is deprecated. Marshal Packard declares
that he has no fault to find with Emory, and does
not join the gentlemen now in Washington en-.
deavoring to get this veteran soldier removed.
