fesssor William Harkness, Professor

. Should the astronomers arrive safe-

safe to predict that the results deduc-
ible from the American observations
alone win be Of very high value. +
Among the numerous Investigations
that have been instituted in connec-
tion with the preparations for this
transit we notice one by Bakhuysen,
Of Leyden, who advances reasons for
believing that the annoying phenom-
ena of the black drop" is mostly .
phenomenon Of diffrac,ion, having its
origin in the telescope. The photo
graphic processes that the American
parties propose to use, win, however,
be in great part entirely free from any
trouble on this SCORE, - the Commis-
sion have decided not to rely, to any
great extent, on the observations Of

TIE Republican Congregational Con-,
vention held here yesterday was quite
exciting, though the horse was short
one and soon scurried. There was.
however, 20 far % we heard, moth.
ing but commsndltlon of Judge
sampson, the nominee, by every body.
In . close contest st-so close - was
the Convsnl In Of yesterday-it is not
uncommon for fault to be found with
individual action. We are inform
ed and are confident beyond oil
question that tho information 10
correct, that the friends of Judge
Loughridgs, DR.. Warden, Gen. Drake,
and the Hon. John Morrison, agreed
that neither of these gentlemen could
be nominated and agreed upon Judge
Sampson, preferring him to Gen.
Weaver. That upon this appearing
both Judge Loughridge, Dr.. Warden
and Gen. Drake declined to 60 into
the Convention, and so saying TO their
friends, expressing themselves as salts
fed, and that II Judge Sampson could
bs agreed upon they were content.
We know from what DR.. Warden
has said that the action Of the Wapello
county delegation In not taking his
name into the Convention was with
his full and free consent on the
ground that he became satisfied he
could not 10 any event be nominated,
while majority Of the Convention
could agree upon Judge Sampson.
Judge Sampson IL 90 we'll and
fsvorably known throughout the State
and especially In this district, that he
will. beyond all question, make most
magnificent run and be elected by .
large majority.
