The TRANSIT OF VENUS.
Success Of Two American Parties.

The Observers in Nagasaki, Japan,
and HObart0n, Van Diemen's
Land, Report Their Partial but
Gratifying Success.
LONDON, Dec. TO- The following dis
patch has been received from Prof. Da-
wilson, chief astronomer of the Ameri-
can expedition to Nagasaki:
NAGAsAKI, Dec. 9th.
During our observations of the tran
sit of Venus to-day the weather was
unusually cloudy and unpromising. and
the time at which it was calculated the
transit would begin passed away with
our being able to record the exact mo-
ment of the first contact, with trust
worthy results.
After about quarter of an hour,
and before Venus reached the stage Of
her second contact, the observer at the
equatorial caught a glimpse of the Sun
and planet, and was quite successful IN
taking several measurements of the
planets cusps, during the interval be-
tween the first and second contacts
The time at which the latter contact
occurred was obtained with success anc
recorded.
Shortly after the second contact
further measurements of the distance
between Venus and the Suns western
edge were made with micrometer. II
all there were taken one hundred ant
fifty micrometic measurements of thu
line between the cusps. Be
sides these thirty Oh
micrometic observations were made o
the passage Of both edges of the SUI
across the meridian of the station, AM
similar views of the right and left rin
Of Venus in crossing the same line
Eighteen micromeiic surveys were mad
of the respective declarations of tn
Sun and planet, by observing both tn
upper and lower limbs while passing tn
meridian. About sixty excellent pho
tographs of the transit, during variou
periods of its occurrence, were taken.
Extreme good fortune attended tn
, astronomers, for, just as Venus depar
, ed from the Sun, the clouds began
5 gather and threatened rain.

ence of longitude to Vladivostok, 5
, that the location Of the position here
definitely determined.

the Speakership, or to a committee, and
some of whom have great opinion OF
Mr.. Woods fertility of resource, were
also demoralized. They thought it
rather sharp practice, and some OF the
profane began to use strong language;
several of them went over to Mr.. Ran
sier's seat and satisfied themselves that
the invitation was really from Mr..
Wood, and they returned to their own
side of the House more astonished than
pleased. At last, the excitement grew to
overpI wering, and a member, holder
than the rest, was dispatched to hunt
up Wood and ask him what in thunder
he meant. In five minutes both sides
of the House looked happier, for Wood,
after moment of puzzle, exclaimed,
"Confound it, that's where Ransom's
invitation went, of Counsel" 1t turned
out that it was Gen. Ransom, of North
Carolina, and not Mr.. Ransier, Of
South Carolina, who had been asked to
dine, and that the invitation had been
obscurely directed and gone astray.
There was general feeling of relief on
both sides of the House when this mis-
take was discovered.

NASHVILLE MARKETS.
UNION AND AMERICAN OFFICE,


TUESDAY, Dec. %.
A review of the general markets for the
past week shows no development of special
interest. The holiday activity noted in
our last review has been kept up briskly
till now, when il is considered about over
in most departments. Prices have been
kept down at the lowest notch, and have
undergone little luctuation.
On the day following our last review
there was further depreciation in cotton,
which, though no further decline has en-
sued, has not been repaired. The week
has been one of unremltting depression and
inactivity, presenting nothing Of local
character worth rejecting upon. The mar
ket has hung with unusually sensitive de-
pendence upon the New York market, and
has been influenced by its slightest and
most transient fluctuations. Our mer-
chants have done comparatively little but
discuss the situation. They have managed
to carry their large stock so far and may
succeed in Juggling it through till the re-
action which they so confidently expect.
The quotations of the market a week ago
were lOb II, 12s, 13t and 1876, against
lOs, III, I2i, Is and l8sc to-day. The
following is i comparative table of the past

gust.
Washington Correspondence Of the New York
Herald.
There was a sudden commOtion in
the House, with signs of distress among
the Democrats and of CONSERVATION
among the Republicans. Members
whispered together, with anxious faces,
and a few of the more excitable rushed
over to Mr.. Ransier, the colored men,
Der fir N South Carolina, and were
presently seen retreating, with indig-
nation or fright on their faces, accord
ing as they were Democrats or Repub-
hcans. The paper In Mr.. Ran
sler's hands, which produced these
effects, was an invitation from
Mr.. Fernando Wood to dine
with him, to meet a few choice
Democratic spirits, which Mr.. Ransier
had received that morning. There has
been n Tumor for some DAYS that the
Democrats meant in due time to CAP
ture the colored vote, and the Repub-
licans, seeing this invitation, naturally
concluded that the perfdious and fatal
work had begun. Nor, in their pres
ent demoralzed condition, were they
treasured by Nj. Ransier searnest pro-
testation that nothing should swerve
him from the path of duty and Repub-
licanism, and that he was just then en-
gagged on a letter politely declining
Mr.. Woods invitation; not that he OBJ
jected to Mr.. Woods society, but that
his political course had long been such
as to make it embarrassing to Mr.. Ran
sier to visit or dine with him.
On the other hand, the Democrats, a
good many of whom look forward to

Kew YORK Dry Goods Market.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-The trade move
ment was slow in package and piece de-
partments. Cotton goods moved steadily
in small lots at unchanged prices. Chintz
and shifting prints are in fair request, but
dark fancies are quiet. WOrsted coatings
are in good demand. Black alpacas are
selling well in low grades. Business was
suspended in the morning on account Of
the funeral Of Thomas =. Eldridge which
was very largely attended.
