The observations of the transit OF
Venus seems to have been generally at
tended with great success. Many pho
tographs were taken, and measurements
made. The object was TO ascertain the
exact distance of the sun from the earth,
and Venus being the nearest planet TO
the earth, il was selected for measure
mrnt OF the distance The distance Of
the earth from Venus being known, then
that OF the earth from the sun can be
calculated, and this distance can be used
rs II basis for calculating the accurate
distance, from the great luminary, Of all
the other planets. It is said that an
error Of one sixteenth part of minute
Of time in making the observations, will
make an error in the computation of

aoverpor Harvey senator.

.F,.r fooliug away an entire week, the Legis-
-. on Mouday, elected Ex-Governor James
" Harvey United States Senator. We have not
shought that Gov. Harvey possessed the necessa-
rr talent and energy for the position, but he is
infinitely better than many others who aspired
Z, the place The PlsiH truth is, Kansas is not
remarkably rich in frst-class Senatorial timber.
II has been said that Mr. Ingalls, desired the cleo
tiou of a man who would serve as a mere man of
s,rsw. while he bore away the glory, and monop-
olized the patronage. Whether be has attained
IN. object Of his desire, it remains for Harvey
himself to demonstrate.
But if NOT the man Of our choice, it now be-
comes the duty of every Republican to uphold
the new Senator, and give him all possible en-
couragemeut There will be enough who will
strive to pull him down. Gov. Harvey, if not
brilliant, is 8 msn Of good common sense, and we
believe bis honesty has never been questioned.
We predicted, At the beginng of the session, that
however strongly the person who might be elec-
ted should favor Reform, he would be an un-
doubted Republican. The result verifies our
ursdictiou. Gov Harvey is one of the stauneh-
est Republicans in the State, and supporter of
the Administrator. He is a practical farmer, or
was before he entered politics, aud is in sympa-
thy with that interest; but we understand that
he is not member Of the Grange. He is one of
those who believe that all needed reforms can be
accomplished within the Republican party; and
that the longest possible road to reform is to
break up the great party, and place the country
at the mercy of malcontents, soured political rem
egades, and the odds and ends and ofal of all
parties.
Having wasted week in the Senator business,
at the rate of 81 900 per day, the Legislature ad
journed over for one week, at the same price.
And this is a specimen of the Reform expected to
how from the great uprising.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS HEALTH.

The liver being the great depurating or blood
cleansing organ of the systenl-set this great
"housekeeper of health at work, and the foul
corruptions which gender in the blood, and rot
out, as 1t were, the machinery of life, are gradu
any expelled from the system. For this pur-
pose, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, with
very small daily doses of DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
IurgauVe Pellets, are pre-eminently the articles
needeo. ihey cure every kind of hunor, from
tue worst scrofuia to the common pimple, blotch
OF eruption. Great eating ulcers kindly heal I'M
der their mighty curative influence. Virulent
blood polSens that lurk in the system are by
them robbed of their terrcrs, and by their per-
sevcring and somewhat protracted use the most
tainted systems may be completely renovated

THE FREE CIRCULATION OF COUNTY PAPERS,
There are strong indications that the.postal laws
will be SO amended, at this session of Congress
as TO permit the free circulation of weekly pa.
pers within their respective counties as under
the old law. The matter has heretofore been
urged upon the attention of Congress, and we
see that Postmaster General Creswell holds the
same views we have advocated. Iu message TO
the Senate the other day, giving information in
regard to the working of the abolition Of frank
ing, he says:
There is one restriction, however, which he
never advised, and which, in his opinion, might
be safely removed-that is the provision which
tor6ids free transportation of weekly newspapers
wlthin the counties of their publication hereto
lore authorized by the law. The grounds upon
which this recommendation is made are, first
mat such papers are so evenly distributed over
tne entite extent of country and confined to lines
OF transit so short that they have never been
known TO impede the distribution or transporta-
tlon OF the mails; aud secondly, that the amount
oi postage levied npon them as at present collec-
ted, whilst afiordiug but a trifling revenue TO
Ine department, is yet heavy enough to be Sc
Vereiy fet by proprietors and patrons and to
opstrnct The dissemination of local intelligence"
- III this recommendation of Postmaster-General
CresweiI Is framed into law by Congress, we
the people.

ANOTHER MYrH ExpLpDEo.-we have always
opposed, in the Legislature and ont Of if, the
subscribing Of newspapers and the buying of
postage stamps at the expense of the State. We
have regarded the newspaper business, in that
way, as useless expense, and wrong upon the
people. The other side always brought mp the
argument that their constituents wanted to See
what was being done, and wonld not begrudge
the trifiing expense; and that the publishers OF
newspapers eonld not afford to employ reporters
to take down the proceedings, un!ess they were
literally patronized by. the Legislature. But
that Is disproved this Winter. The newspaper
proposition was voted down with but one vote
IN its favor; and yet the Topeka Commonwealth
is giving as complete and reliable Legislative re-
ports as were ever given under the other plan,
Every man who wants TO see the proceedings,
can nov subscribe for that paper, and get them
at his own expense. Formerly, few were Ia
vored with the reports at the expense OF the
whole.

u The newspaper patent outside business
has its little mishaps. The last Germantown
(o.) Register comes to us printed on the outside
of the Monongahea (Pa.) RepubiicaR. The pa
pers are both Of size, and get their patent ont
sides frum the same shop. BY mistake at head
quarters the package intended for the MOnonga-
hela paper was scnt to GeTmantOwn, aud rice
uersa. There was no time to rectify the error,
and the only alternative was to use the Pennsyi-
vania outside or miss an Issue of the paper. But
theonly difference was in the name for the reading
matter on the patont outside is the same. But
il will doubtless necessitate many an eXplana-
tion to the staid old farmers, especially the Dem
ocratic ones, when they come in to ask the editor
why he called his paper the Monongahela Repab
licaR for one week. However, he can fix that all
right, by telling them that the Republican was
intended for his Republican readers, and the
MOnongahela for the Democrats.

II The Topeka Blade has "petered," after a
brief but earnest effort to smash the Republican
party of Kansas. Mr.. J. Clarke Swayze came to
Kansas last Spring, with pitiful tale of how he
had been ostracised and prosecuted in Georgia,
because of his labors in behalf Of the Union and
the Republican party. Having got here where
there is no such persecution, he took a contract
for closing out the Republican party. Had he
published snch paPsr in Georgia as he did here.
there would have been no occasion for him to
light out; for such doctrines could not but have
been acceptable to the average high-toned Geor-
gle Esbel. But perhaps it is j. Clarke Swayze's
nature to buck against public sentiment, wher-
ever he may be. Well. he has the consolation of
knowing that he is not the only person who has
ingloriously failed in the same glorious under
taking. The place is now vacant for the next
blow-hard who imagines that he has a call to
play ont the Republican party in Kansas.
