THE A N OF N

At about a quarter to two on December 2
the planet Venus began her passage across the
disc of the sun--an event for which astronomers
of all countries have for years past been anxious
ly waiting and carefully preparing. by half
past six the Transit of Venus of l84 was a
thing of the past. At the commencement of
that mornings Transit the sun marked noon
and was overhead near the Eastern Coast of
Australia at the end, the sun was vertical over
the middle region of the Indian ocean; during
no part of the Transit, therefore, was Europe
or America on the side of the earth turned to-
wards the sun. The inhabitants of the most
civilised countries of the world, therefore, less
fortunate than their forefathers in the last CEN
fury, nave not been privileged to get even a
glimpse-such as HORROR and Crabtree, and
they alone, obtained in 1639-of one of the
rarest of natural phenomena. We took oc-
casion, when the carefully equipped Expedi-
tons which England was sending to various
parts of the world were leaving US, to call at
tention to the astronomical side ofthe problem,
and we dealt with it so fully that there is no ne
cessity to refer to it now but the astronomers
point of view is by no means the only one of
general interest connected with the recent
Transit. We have, first of all, the remarka-
Bile spectacle of trained observers of almost all

The trial of Mr.. Russell's process of nacera-
fIon and second crushing has been continued at
Bel Air. with results which have established
its commercial success beyond the possibility
of serious question. 1t has been demonstrated
that at least one fourth mare sugar can be OBJ
tanned by second crushing after maccration,
equal in quality to that of the first crushing
and at less than half the cost.
The shore end Of the telegraph to connect
this colony with Cayenne, and thence by way
of Para and PernambuoO with the whole OF
South America, and also with Europe Uaa Ma

steamer NorSeman, chartered by the Central
American Telegraph Company for the purpose.
The Norseman also brought out about one hun
dred miles of the deep sea cable which she is
now engaged in laying. The Hooper, with the
balance Of the cable, left England on the 10th
December. FL. M. Corvette Druid is herebyor-

The weather continues extremely favorable
for the growing crops, but the heavy rains which
alternate with g!eamy sunshine and steaming

A DISCORDANT SCHEME.

Col. Cochran has been industriously cir
culating some printed petitions, which arc
about the purcst article of Buncombc he
has ever attempted to palm off on the pco-
pie of the County. They rccitc that the
producer is equally interested in the weight
| of his cotton with the buyer, and that he
ought to have an equal voice in the selec-
ton of the weighcr. They conclude by ask
ing the Legislature to make the position OF
cotton wcighcr q county officer, and allow
him five cents per bale, to be paid by the
seller for every bale weighed. This is UNI
Just, impracticablc and only intended to
produce discord and work mischief In the
first place, there is no justice in allowing
man who only sells ten bales of cotton to
have an equal voice in selecting the wcislcr
as the merchant who buys fifteen hundred,
for they arc by no means equally interested
in the matter. In the second place, it is not
lust that the eighteen hundred negro voters
who sell comparatively no cotton, should
vote for who should weigh the cotton for
our farmers. In the third place, it is unjust
to allow q man who sells his cotton at Bel
ton, Williamson, Pcndlcton or Honea Path
to vote for who shall weigh cotton at An
dcrson. In the fourth place, it is unjust, if
other producers are allowed to vote for the
weigher, that men living in Georgia, Oconce
or Abbevillo who sell cotton at Anderson
should not be allowed to vote for the weigh
or also. But just suppose the office Is made
a county officer, then every man must be
compelled to have his cotton weighed by
him. and must therefore bring it to Ander-
son to sell, or else must wait about selling
at other places, until this county weigher
can go around to the various places III the
County and while by an election in this
County We would probably get good man,
in three -fourths Of the counties of the State
incompetent and corrupt men would be
elected by the ignorant colored majorities
therein, and both buyer and seller greatly
ieopardized thereby Our people may rest
assured there is no good intended for them
in it, and we hope they will not sign the
petition if they have not already done so,
for if the Town Council will just attend to
their own business, the merchants of the
Town are determined to make such arrange
ments as will meet the appreciation of their
customers and furnish the weighing of the
cotton free of expense to the seller. There
is not county in the United States that
elects cotton weigher by the people, and
there is no authority OF law for, nor justice
in, any such course.

TOWN COUNCIL.

This body elected for the ensuing year
met and qualified on Monday 10th inst,
and have not up to this time disappointed
any person by their action. They have re-
duced the license of retail bar-rooms from
$3.50 to $3.50. Messrs Brown and Tolly
would have preferred leaving it at the
former price, but as the majority were
against them they could effect nothing.
They then proceeded to elect q cotton
veigher for the town, and the names of Mr..
J. B. MCGEE (who was recommended by the
merchants of the town. and Mr.. E. E. Reese
Ia brother-in-law of Col. Cochran) were
placed in nomination, and the vote stood as
follows: for Mr.. Reese, Cochran, McGrath
and Pegg; for Mr.. MCGEE, Brown and Tolly.
Hence Mr.. Reese was selected by the vote Of
his brother-in-law over the man who had
the recommendation of every cotton buyer
in town, we believe and the Council have
departed from precedent that has never
before been disregarded. This has Justly
been condemned by all who do not desire to
see our town governmet become the property
of one man, and hence the merchants do
not propose to abide the result as will be
seen from their proceedings in another COL
umn. On last Monday morning portion
of the Council rode around town to inspect
the streets, and we hope they will endeavor
by pushing work upon them to make some
amends for their unwarrantable course in
other respects.
Since writing the above two ordinances
have been passed. The one prohibiting the
sale of Intoxicating liquors to children un-
der sixteen years Of age, is good one, but
was not needed much, as very few chaps of
that tender age are enough beyond the paren-
tai authority to patronize dram shops very
extensively. The second is the ordinance
relative to the Town weigher, which is ex-
ceedingly obnoxious. The principal use for
such parsonage, if the Council had the
right to appoint him, is utterly ignored in
this ordinance, and we believe it was done
on purpose to array the people of the County
against the Town, and to scatter discord US
far as possible. We refer to the amount of
deduction to be made from the weights of
cotton on account of its being wet. There
are very few men who cannot tell how
much a bale of cotton weighs upon pair
of scales, and they need no man to take care
of their interests in this respect; but they
will frequently differ as to how much water
is in cotton and here is the chief use for an
impartial weigher, to act as arbitrator upon
this question. 1t is very incOnvenient to
the merchant, as it will require him to have
some one present to look after this in every
bale he buys, or risk losing money on his
cotton. The only effect of such ordinances
will be to injure the cotton market of our
Town. 1t is oppressive and injurious to our
merchants, and should be set aside as un-
lawful.

BRIEF MENTION.

On last Saturday, Mr.. VIM. Junkin, son oi
Capt. Robert Junkin, while running race
got his leg broken by the falling of his horse
His injuries are painful, but under the care
ofD syrnmes they are healing as satisfac-
torily as could be expected.
Owing to the fact that the crops in the
West and Northwest have been cut OH by
the severe freezes of last winter, the grass
hoppers of the past spring, and the recent
extensive and destructive foods, it behooves
our farmers to increase their acreage of small
grain for the fall sowing. Sow early and
largely.
We regret to announce the death of little
Leila, daughter of Mr.. W. F. Baker, of At
lanta, Ga, which occurred st the residence
of her grandfather, DR.. P. A. Wilhite, OF
this place, on Tuesday night the 18th inst
Though only fifteen months old she was
bright and interesting child, whose death
leaves = vacant place that is mourned oy
fond parents. The remains were conveyed
to Atlanta for interment.
There was social pic mic at Keys Spring
ON last Saturday, given by some OF the
Young people of our community. The en-
tertainment of tete tete and dancing, to-
sether with the demolition of tempting
pic mic dinner, constituted the enjoyment OF
the occasion, which those in attendance
speak of as one of the most pleasant affairs
of the season. We are indebted to the conf
mittes for an invitation.
We are informed that Double Springs
Grange, No. 214, will give pic mic on
Thursday, End of September, and an invita-
ton is extended to the surrounding country.
Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, Master of the State
Grange, with other distinguished gentlemen,
are invited to address the meeting. COL
Aiken is thoroughly conversant with the
wants and the necessities Of the farming
community, and his speeches are always dl-
rected to the advancement and improve
ment of the farmers, who ought to favor
him with large audience at Double Springs
on Thursday next.
The pic mic at Erwin's Mill on next We'd
nesday, 1st of September, promises to be a
large affair, and will doubtless contribute
greatly towards the success Of the proposed
cotton factory at that point. Invitations
have been extended to Messrs. T. B. Lee and
John B. Moore, of Anderson; Hon. w. D.
Simpson, of Laurens; Col. D. ". Aiken, Of
Cokesbury; Maj. J. N. Lipscomb, of New
berry; Col. Thomas Thomson, ofAbbeville; ;
w. A. Giles, Esq, Of Graniteville, and Prof.
in. Young, of Due West, who are request
ed to address the meeting in behalf of the
projected enterprise. We trust genuine
and generous enthusiasm will be awakened,
which will result in the speedy erection of
the factory. We thank the committee of
arrangements for courteous invitation to
be present.
