now, five suppose that he believed
Packard elected, and sold him out for his
own advantage, he Is so base a. to merit
no respect whatever, ,and his conduct was
as damnable as though he had bought ms
office directly with money. The only
other alternative of defence for hls con-
duct and the bargain his friends Is that
they did not believe the Packard Govern
ment was the choice of Louisianas peo-
pie.
That granted, there has never been q
scintilla of evidence produced to show
that the Hayes electors were by many
thousands as nearly the choice of Louisi-
ana as the Packard State ticket. over
whelming testimony from all sides proves
on the contrary, that Packard might
have been elected by large majority
and the Hayes electors defeated. The
Irresistible conclusion of logic therefore
is that Hayes was not elected even ac-
cording to the showing of his friends,
that they knew it and he knew 1t, and
that his words, "there must be nothing
crooked on our part" were insincere.
Mr.. Morey's testimony aso proves
what needed no proof-that Sherman
and his colleagues He'd when they ,swore
they did not discuss the effect ON the re-
suit of the throwing out or counting In

were not kept informed Of the result OF
their manipulauons on the general re-
suit. ...

DISCOVERY OF VULCAN CLAIMED BIZ
PRoFEssoH WATSON.
DENVER, Col, July 30, 1873.

DENVER, Col, July 30, 1873.
The strange and unexpected results of
yesterdays eclipse observations have
agitated the astronomers gathered here
to high degree. Not few pet theories
have been utterly demolished and al
ready signs of diametrically opposite
views on the part of some of the most
eminent of the scientists are becoming
visible. All are agreed that more i'm
portant eclipse never occurred. 1t re-
vealed many things hitherto unthought
of and it promises much greater results
when its details are worked out. At
Rawlins last night there was much joy
and congratulations. A number of the
citizens, in commemoration of the sue
cess, serenaded DIR. Draper and the mem-
bers of his expedition. This morning
the party left Rawlins for Denver, ac-
companied by your correspondent and
representative of the London press. To-
morrow they will meet the astronomers
of the various expeditions, many of
whom have already arrived. The re-
mainder will probably reach here during
the day. Notes will be compared and
results discussed.
is 1T VULCAN?
Professor Watson, of Ann Arbor, feels
confident to-day that the planet which
he discovered Is Vulcan. He calculated
its distance at about seventy-eight mil
lions of miles from the earth. Its dis
covery was made during the last minute
of totality The professor is positive that
it is not a small star grown brighter,o ,or a
comet. Vulcan, it will be remembered
received its name in 1859 when Mr.. Les
caubaul, of France, claimed to have seen it
crossing the disk of the sun. Since then
until yesterday all efferts to again bring
1t into view have proved futile.
THE coRoNA's SPECTRUM.
The absence of lines in the corona's
spectrum is considered most extraordi-
nary. All previous eclipse observatio rs
have revealed them. Ali sorts of theo-
ries are bel ng advanced to account for
their absence That the corona is composed
Of material, not SHINING by its own light,
is accepted by the astronomers. What
effect the quiet condition of the sun, as
shown by the almost entire absence of
protuberances, will pro obably have on the
climate of the earth will tomorrow be
earnestly discussed.
THE PHOTOGRAPHS.
The photographs which Mr.. Draper
succeeded in obtaining of the corona's
| spectrum are much admired, SO continu-
Gus spectrum of the corona having

gree Of satisfaction. The photographs OF
the corona without the spectroscope are

On motion this committee was in

organization.
Mr.. VIM. Fl. Quinn moved that the
delegate election ON Saturday next be
held between the hours of 3 and O'Clock
p. NJ.
Tue motion was discussed for some
time when Ii. X. Pennington, Esq, stated
that the hours for holding the delegate
election were fixed by the party rules
and were from II noon to- O'Clock,
=. NJ. A failure to observe this rule
might result in disiranchlsing Ward at
the State Convention, or at least give
favorable grounds for a contest.
Thos. r. Lally said it was proposed
IN Third Watd to hold the Delegate cleo
tion next Saturday evening,in the Water
Witch engine house. He expressed
himself in favor vi holding the election
at the usual voting places of the Ward,
so as to have free ballot, and and not
aprocess suggestive OF packed meet
ing.
Esquire O'Neill and others stated that
the action of the Third Ward Democrats
in ordering the delegate election to be
held ia the Water Witch engine house
had been taken without thought of the
rules anu SOlely WIFI ueSlre 10 save ex-
pense. 1t was also stated that the &C.
ton of the meeting would probably be
reconsidered, and the election held in
the usual manner.
The question of selecting judges fol
the mayoralty nomination was next dis
cussed, some of the Wards having ap
pointed only one judge, while Others
have appointed the full complement
Finally the matter was settled by au
thorizing each Ward to appoint one judge
and two assistants, and each candIdat,
TO appoint one representative.
The meeting then adjourned to NEE

- LONDON, July 80, 1878.
The debate on Lord nartington's re-
solution against the governments Eas-
tern policy, which began last evening In
the House Of Commons, is regarded as
the most important which will have
taken place in Parliament In many years.
At hslf-past five O'Clock Lord Harrington
moved his resolution. The motion was
received with cheering ON the liberal
side of the House, especially among the
radicals. The House was not very much
crowded. a.' .-
LORD HARTINGToN'S SPEECH.
| Lord Harrington said very inadequate
idea of the Treaty of Berlin was to be de-
rived from mere contrast OF its pro-
visions with those of the treaty of San
IStefano. Russia previous to the war,
made demadds which did not 90 anything
like SO far as the Treaty of Berlin YET
England never approved them nor urged
them upon Turkey. He said he did not
make serious charge against the gov
eminent regarding Greece, as the other
governments shared the responsibility !;
but the British government had incurred
special responsibility in the promises
gwen 10 Greece, which had not been fu,-
filed. .i
Ii the conservative party accepted the
amendment of Mr.. PluHkett, he said ,Chey
approved the conduct of the liberals,
who throughout endesvored to induce
the government to refrain from war.
GENERALLY PLEASED WITH THE TREATY
Lord Harrington generally approved
the treaty of Berlin, as-although not
final settlements it left the future Turkish
dominions 10 be determined by natural
causes, uninfiuenced by foreign military
domination. He made powerful attack
upon the Ang glo-Turkish Convention, and
asked If the British Government would
have deemed similar agreement be-
tween Russia and Turkey .justifiable. The
island of Cyprus was useless for the de-
fence of Asia Minor. Even granting the
governments contention that a necessity
existed for the convention, the necessity
had been created by themselves by not
advising Turkey to accept the original
terms of peace, which would not have
materially increased Russia's dominions
in Asia.

There is no circumstance in connection
with the present Investigation of the al

SO strongly and convincingly argues the
guilt OF the accused parties rs their eff
forts to prevent witnesses from testifying
to facts within their knowledge. Ever
since the inquiry commenced, the Adj
mlnistration, from the de facto President
down TO the meanest official in his EN-
ploy, have been active in searching out
men privy to the devices employed by
the pirate Sherman and his fellows to de-
fraud the people of their franchise, and

sought to seal their lips or TO procure
evidence from them favorable to the ac

GALVESTON, June PA telegram to The

miles from Newton, the place Of crossing and about
eighteen miles east Of Saragossa where they met

Valdez drawn up in line OF battle.
The Mexican commander inquired the purpose OF the
inyason; Informed General Mackenzie that he had
orders TO repel American INVASION and that the Amer
can troops should proceed further As the Mexeans
position obstructed the progress Of the Americans Gem
eral Mackenzie warned them TO get out Of his
way, saying that If they did not do so BY
4 O'clock that day, he would shoot where
the Mexicans were standing. The Americans then
formed in order of battle. At the appointed time the
Americans advanced. Their number appeared to over
awe the Mexcans who hastily withdrew TO a safe dis
tanee but kept IN sight OF the American troops.
Geneta Mackenzie then asked Colonel Valdez II he In
tended 20 again Obstruc the route OF the Americans, 20
which Colonel Valdez replied that it General Mac

would soon come again. Colonel Valdez offered q

that he was able to take OF himself Ihe MeXleans,
