The crowning achievements of the Ameri-
can expeditionary parties, as officially re-
ported by the astronomers, are chronicled IN
our columns this morning The southern OBJ
servatories we're all-important. and the sue
cess Of the Halleyan method of calculation,
adopted by the American Transit Commits
son hinged to a great extent on success
at Tasmania and Kerguelen. At the
former station no mathematical de-
termination of any Of the planets
contacts was possible, the sun being wrapped
the planets rim-another confirmation of the
theory that such phenomenon is due to tele-
scopic imperfections. The Tasmanian sue
cesses comprise many valuable photographs
and an elaborate estimate of the geographical
position of the observatory. The obserya-
tons there are closely paraleled by those
made at Kerguelen, except that several
measurements Of the phases OF Venus
between the first and second contacts
were made with wondrous accuracy by Pro-
fessor Ryan. This favorable incident may
rescue the gigantic problem from the cruel
fate of being given to the photographers. The
solution OF the question by them depends on
the measurement upon the photograph Of the
distance between the tracks Of Venus as
viewed respectively from a north and q
south station. This must be effected to
within the fifteen-thousandth part of an
inch, if it is hoped to rival the French and
the English in accuracy of result. We are not
too sanguine Of such microscopic marvel. 1t
is not probable that our astronomers can an
nounce the grand result without consulting
the records of the foreign scientists. Many
years must elapse before the task can be fully
performed, and the most perfect solution
of the whole problem will be that
obtained by the astronomer Of future times
who will review the works Of the observers OF
the various nations. We have every reason to
expect that our own country will not be last
among the honored ones on that occasion, and
that the historian will chronicle in our behalf
victory in the domain Of science as brilliant
as that we have already won in the solution of
material and social problems.

Every member of the last Congress has been
nominated-Barnum by the democrats, and
Hawley, Kellogg and Starkweather by the re-
publicans. The democrat, Barnum, ought
to be defeated, but he has good chances
OF reelection. With the exception Of
Hawley the republican candidates who have
been renominated richly deserve defeat
Judge Foster, who is running against Stark
weather in the Norwich district, is an admir-
able democratic candidate, and would be
worth the whole Connecticut delegation in
the last Congress; and Judge Phelps is inf
nitely superior to the republican Kellogg. If
these excellent democratic candidates are de
feated the democratic party will have no
reason to rejoice over the Connecticut cleo
ton. According to present appearances the
result in Connecticut twill not encourage demo-
cratic hopes, although Governor Ingersoll viii
probably be reelected by diminished ma
Jority

Mr.. Blafne,s speech

| The great problem Of the republican candi-
dates for the Presidential nomination is to
save the party without surrendering it to
Grant TO raise the party above all possible
danger would be to place it exactly where it
was III 1S72-at Grants feet. On the
other hand, unless the Generalization
Of last year is checked, the whole
party will run down the hill into the sea,
like the sacred beasts into which the
devils entered, and like them will be de-
stroyed. (See Mark chap. v, verses IL
AZ. Either Of these events would be re-
garded as dreadful calamites by the republi-
can statesmen, and it would be hard for some
Of them to tell which they would the more
regret But they hope that both evils may
be ayerted. Thus they would emancipate
the party from servitude to Grant by demon
strating the disastrous results of the third
term plan, and would succeed to his power by
proving that the democracy are not fit to gov
ern. This requires able management 1t is
their policy to keep the republican party like
a sinner on a sick bed, now revived by hopes
Of recovery, now alarmed by fears of death.
They nearly killed it last fall, and are trying
to medicine it into convalescence this spring.
That delicate part OF the republican party
which exists in Connecticut has Just had

whose speech at New Haven last evening may
be compared to dose of quinine in a case Of
chills and fever 1t is rumored that he is a
candidate for the Presidency, and in this
speech skilfully endeavored to keep the Office
still within reach. He had not word
to say Of the third term. The bane
having done its work for the present, he
promptly presented the antidote in the shape
Of an unconditional Impeachment Of the
democracy as a party which cannot be trusted
| with the control Of the government. His
horrible prophecy Of ruin is compounded Of
dreadful ingredients-Jeff Davis, the war,
new revolution, the sullen South, the am
bilious North, are pounded in his mortar
with the ghost Of Buchanan, and the
pills are not sugar-coated. Their effect
upon the patient will be soon known. But to rs
it seems that this is rather heroic treatment of
the goose that lays the golden eggs, and some
Of these days it may lift up its reproachful
voice and address its experimenting doctors

Carlist Prospects.

The interesting letter we publish to-day
from our Spanish correspondent shows con-
clusively the deep hold which Cariism has on
the people Of the Northern provinces. Not
even the detection Of their most trusted chief
can shake the devotion Of the brave noun
taineers to their king-for Don Carlos is
truly king in the power he exercises and
the chivalrous valor he displays in his fight
for the Spanish throne. Not for this, how
ever, is his success assured for while his par
tisans are powerful in the North all the great
centres of industry and intelligence are
unit to resist his accession to the throne of
his fathers. The very theories that make
his cause hopeless in the rest of Spain.
He may continue the war indefinitely, pro-
tected by the difficult nature of the
country where his chief strength lies, but
even here time must prove fatal to his cause.
Already some difficulty is found in victualling
the immense army which has rallied for Sod
ard the King" and forward movement
must soon be made or the army will be forced
to dispense. In view OF the superior strength
Of the Ahonsist army and its more complete
organization a march southwark might prove
fatal to the cause Of Don Carlos. Even if
Madrid were 10 fall into his hands the con-
quest of the country or the establishment
Of his throne would be far from complete.
Owing to the important victory Of Lucar the
detection Of Cabrera has made little impress
sion on the minds Of Don Carlos followers
no doubt the cry Of treason will again be
used as an excuse by the soldiers, who are
tired of the proitless struggle. for deserving a
hopeless cause.

Such an opportunity and such Inducements
as are offered by the Centennial regattas
should not, and doubtless will not, be lost by
our oarsmen. We would call their attention to
the fact that, even though they have never yet
shared in public contest, they can with the
long notice given, if they are men Of the right
energy and determination, thoroughly pre-
pare themselves in the interval, and either
force the Beaverwycks, for example, 10 cut
down their time far below the best they
showed last summer-for il was far inferior to
that made in the University struggle-or in
trust the amateur championship to more de-
serving hands.
Again, it is high time that in the matter of
crew rowing there should be uniform and
standard style Of boat Our students row in
six-oars; but for years hardly any one else has
done so, and for many reasons it would seem
better to discontinue the practice and resort
to fours. They cost less, last longer, are more
easily handled and transported, and guarantee
far closer and better racing There probably
never was a six-oared crew in this country
which had not one man in it who could not do
a sixth Of the work, while four good ones can
about al ways be obtained twice as readily as six.
Again, the foreigners, when they come, cannot
row in skies, for most of them never even saw
one, Fights and tours being the kinds to which
they are accustomed. To make the crew races
for tours only, as there IS already tendency,
can work no hardship to the club that has
eight good men, and will insure the very best
material in each case, while the danger of OBJ
iections being raised afterwards, because this
or that man was not in his best order, will be
practically done away with, owing to the ease
with which, as should always be the case, O
good spare man can at once be substituted.
Moreover, another very desirable end can be
attained Instead of as now, having, in order
to get at the relative merits of present crews
with those Of the past or future, to make an
allowance Of so much per oar, q matter
practically little better than guess work, the
question can then be settled at q glance, and so
men and boats and styles and currents can be
compared in a way at once satisfactory, be-
cause evidently correct. And as when our
student oarsmen went to England to row
they had to adopt plan new to them, and
on straight course useless-namely, OF car
rying coxswain-it will only be graceful on
the part Of our guests to fall into the fashion
in vogue here of dispensing with that en-
cumbrance. The London Rowing Club
learned from the Atalantas what an improve
ment it was, and the English professional
crews which visited US in 1871 quickly
sho we'd themselves adopts in the same direc-
ton. Once expunge the ooxswafn and make
the four-oared race the national one, and not
only will the best rowing DO had, but the
standard will then be uniform all over the
world.

RENFoRcEMENTs FOR THE SPANISH ARMY
continue to arrive in Cuba, but in such small
driblets that they are really useless as q
means of crushing the instruction. With q
criminal disregard Of human life these poor
fellows are sent out at a most unhealthy
season of the year to fall victims to the dis
eases Of the climate before they have even .
chance to become acclimatized. 1t would be
better for Spain to give up Cuba and keep her
soldiers at home.

EIlfhY Streets.

The indifference displayed by the Street
Cleaning Bureau TO the condition of the
streets in the poorer districts Of the city
offers q curious commentary on the efficacy of
popular government The officials charged
with the duty of keeping the streets clean
evidently think that the poor have no rights
they are bound to respect, and there does not
seem 10 be public spirit enough among the
rich to defend the rights Of the working
classes Under the present system Of clean
ing one or two favored streets and leaving the
rest Of the city in a state Of filth injurious
to the public health the Street Cleaning
Bureau acts in u way to invite pestilence. No
doubt it is the poor who chiefly suffer from
diseases induced by the bad sanitary condition
of the neglected districts; but once disease
has gained footing it is just as Likely as not
10 extend its ravages TO the homes Of the
wealthy For this reason, If for no other, it
might be we'll If the solid men would use their
influence with the politicians in favor Of re-
moving the garbage and rubbish which is left

went perhaps a little further than was worth

then he did not know the sort Of people he had

honest and capable man in the Office he held.
and Of supposing that, therefore, they would
sacrifice some crumbs Of patronage if he we're
firm enough. But they would just as lief
have dishonest and incapable man there
perhaps little rather; for an honest man is
a restraint, and capable man, if they tamper
with his department, has to be an accomplish
