WE publish to-day a very interesting
letter from Professor LANGLEY, of the
Western University. The Professor was
one of the party of astronomers who ob
served the recent eclipse from various
points in Kentucky. And every one
must feel gratified at the success of their
important labors.
TICE FEcnuaits - are giving signs of prep

is a pity tlaat a few hundred of these er
ratic enthusiasts; who seem to care more
for a scrimmage than for the freedom of
their countrYp cannot be caged and sub
jected to the tender mercies of the Eng
lish authorities. Hanging would prove a
wholesome antidote for their over zealous
and misdirected patriotisin.
NrrrwrEam DATES only intervene be
tween this and the elecUon on the ques
tion of a public park. Let the matter be
thoroughly discussed, and let no vote be
deposited for or against the project unin
telligently. The Park will come whether
or not the people. now decide in its favor.
It is a necessity, and sooner or later the
people will make up their minds to have
it, and perhaps delay will entail, large
cost. _

We have reason to anticipate an , uniform

of the present season. The press-reports
by the new line show an improvement in
quality over rthose Which, by its elder
rival, have been very regularly one-half

This event occurs periodically, but at
alternating intervals of remarkable
irregularity, the periods being 8 and
1221 years. After 1872, L the transit will
be again visible in 1880, 2002, 2011 and
2133, arid so on, beyond* the ken of even
the youngest inhabitant now of earth. This
transit will be observed with peculiar in
terest, since its conditions will aid in the
elucidation of several questions, among
others that of the exact distance of oar
earth from the sun. The last transit was
I seen in 17:50.

to the contrary, their agents are every

people at large, and planting seeds which
may grow and ripen to the dismay of
Protectionists. A counter effort should
be made by those friendly to a tariff, and
the longer such a movement is delayed
the worse it will 11, as the enemy are

FRANCE AND SPAIN.
Whether the Emperor Napoleon has
been actuated by purely selfish dynas
tic' considerations, in his recent exchange
of a personal for a constitutional govern
ment of France, is at present a vexed ques
tion with European politicians. What
ever may have been the secret motives for
this remarkable change of policy, there
are no two opinions expressed, even by
the most unfriendly of his critics, concern
ing the iminediate consequences; France
is more heartily Napoleonized at this mo
ment than in anything her people have felt
since those days of glory which preced
ed the march to Moscow.
More than this; the Imperial forecast
now presents to other European powers,
and especially to Spain, which waits for
a sign and for a king beyond the Pyre.
nees, the example of - an absolute govern
ment quietly converted into an constitu
tional monarchy, as not only the latest
but the most inviting of Napoleonic ideas.
If the Prince NAilorsois be really the
coming candidate, favored by all parties
in Spain fdr the vacant throne, the wis
dom of his Imperial cousin, in France,
cannot fail to reinforce most powerfully
their kindly regards. In dissociating be
(ore Christendom the two ideas which
have heretofore been inseparable—of Na
poleonisin and of the absolute irrespon
sibility of sovereignty—the Emperor has
perhaps contributed; both by intent and
decisively, to a solution of the Spanish
question • which shall give the govern •
"meat of all Southwestern Europe to the
heirs of the dead prisoner of St. Helena.
A POLITICAL DEATH.
•
PRNDLE.TON was but is no more. The
action of the Ohio Democracy in forcing
upon him the gubernaiorial nomination
indignantly spurned and refused by the
gallant ROBECIUNB, seals his political fate
and never more will he rise to the surface.
He is powerless. 14 other course than
to accept the very doubtful honor of
leadership is left to "Young Greenbacks,"
and in BO doing he necessarily offers him-
Self a sacrifice to his party, and blots out
the vaulting ambitions of his life. The
ungracious declination of Gen. ROSE
main plunged the Democracy of our
sister State into a fearful dilemma, and
one which even the unlearned in political
matters interpret to portend ;great dis
aster to Mr. 'PENDLETON. Popular with
the,massee, the acknowledged lather of a
pernicious though fascinating financial
doctrine, a shrewd and cunning politician,
if not a clever statesman, Mr. Per nuvrort,
over and above all others of his party,
seemed the coming Presidential candi

ing for higher honors, and willsasldeb, at
the thought that a man of iqtk . .gitiPti .
strength and of such mighty 'proMlife
should be crushed to save his party , 'pins
disorganizing into fragments.
Mr. PENDLETON was the only available'
man left the opposition in Ohio. He is
popular and strong, but it will be no very
difficult matter to bring about his defeat.
He can have no hope of election, for his
party has none. He fully realizes the
position in which he is placed, and clearly
sees political ruin to himself no matter in
which waylie turns. To refuse to sacri
fice himself for the good of his party
would be unpartisan and reprehensible;
to accept the nomination is to accept de
feat, and consign himself to a shelf where
he will grow dust covered and mouldy
before again called to serve any portion
of the people as a candidate. Alas! Poor
PENDLETON!
UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.
Eighteen States have ratified the XVth
Article of the Federal Constitution, with
so complete a precision of formalities that
no partizanship can be found so stubborn
as to raise any objection thereto.
Three other. States have taken action
thereon, which has been clah4ed as suffi
ciently affirmative, but as, to which
objections are earnestly made, .by an
opposition which is wholly sincere in
its resolution to combat the amen
datory proposition to the last prac
ticable moment. As to two of these
States, Missouri and Nebraska, it is
beyond dispute that their legislative acts
of ratification were imperfect, by reason
of their recitation, in ; each in
stance, of a mutilated version of
the text of the Articlk It is
manifest that the ratifying intent of
each of these States must be regarded as
having failed through this imperfect
description, and the legislative act
in each case must legally Count for
nought. The next Legislatures in those
States will take up the proposition as a
new one, ratifying or rejecting it as their
majorities may incline. There is no
doubt as to lifissouri, since the
same Legislature meets again in
January next, and will then correct its
record. The probabilities,_ fortunately,
are also in favor of a Republican prepon
derance in Nebraska, but our politicians
can better rely on the certainties after the
election shall -be held. As to the third
State, Indiana, the circumstances attend
ing her alleged approval of the Article
are familiar to our readers. We need not
remind them of our often expressed in
ability to concur with those who defend
the legality of that ratification, as pronoun
ced by a body of men whose, legislative
functions for any purpose whatever could
not be recognized under the local Consti
tution.
We hay only to add, now, that
if the Amendmen shall-finally secure only
just twenty-eight States, for one of which
Indiana shall be by this action claimed.
the people of e United States may
prepare themsely s for the inauguration of
such a political trite, upon their precise
constitutional $ his in this connection,
as will be endless unless it be ended most
mischievously. at one course , in this
situation, can be egarded as statesman
like, whether in a partisan or patriotic
llght f The impe ect act which thus as
serts the full action of the State
authority, must count for nothing, and
the question be regarded as still open,
awaiting the formal decision of a legally
constituted Legislature.
Three other States, Minnesota, lowa
and Vermont, will ratify, theist in Oc
tober and the other two in January next.
Rhode Island hesitates. One branch
has assented, and the other is expected to
-do so in January. i
Of the States which have rejected the
Article, a question has been raised as to
the right of Ohio to reconsider her ac
tion, when her next Legislature con
venes, but it does not meet with a favora
ble consideration among Mir Republican
friends in that State. Eight other States,
New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Ken
tucky, Tennessee, Oregon, California and
Georgia, are also to be counted against the
Amendment, and it is idle to hope for aid
in that direction.
But three States remain —Virginia,
Mississippi and Texas. The Article will
be ratified, we think, by each of these.
Thus we see that nine States are hope
lessly in opposition to this important
proposition, and that, of the remaining
twenty-eight, its adoption will require
the support of all, including not only the
eighteen which have acted, and the five
more which are reasonably certain to ap
prove it, but still the other five, Indiana,
Nebraska, Virginia, Texas and :Minis;
sippi, as to four of which there is no posi
tive result to be reckoned on, until their
elections shall be held. If all these States
shall be finally secured, the Article will
then have just twenty-eight votes—the
bare three-fourths required by the Con
stitution.
We have lost Tennessee by gross mis
management and a shameful local quer
id./ The interests , of the Republic forbid
'the possibility of such a result in the two
States yet to be reconstructed. In the
pending Article,' is presented the most
vital issue for %lugs ogming &W on.

NEW PROCESSES IN IRON MAKING.
A New York journal announces an
other "revolution in iron," basing its
enthusiastic assumption upon .a recent dis
covery made by a Dr. Field, of Wilming
ton, Del., of which we are favored with
the annexed account:
We have been shown various specimens
of Iron and Steel made by the new pro.
cese. That they are all of extraordinary
excellence, no one at all familiar with
Iron can doubt after seeing them, and
from the Steel have been manufactured
Files, Razors, &c., of the finest quality.
This Iron is made

per tun of Iron. Dr. Field says that he
can thus make a superior Iron of any
Pi, and at a trifl eense. That
sh g own us was exibited side xp by side with
the famous Lowmocr (British) Iron, sold
here at 21 cents per ponua, and is fully
its equal; and it challenes comparison
with the best Norwegian or Swedish
Iron. Dr. Field also claims a like super
iority for his Pig Iron, and that his cast
ings are five times as strong as those
made by the old process. He asserts
that Iron made by his process does not
stick to the bottom of the furnace, is
more uniform in quality, exceedingly
tough and tenacious, and can be run out
of any existing furnace with a saving of
some 25 pounds per day now wasted in
running out.
Much attention has been given of late,
to the investigation of existing imper
fections in the reduction of this very use
ful metal from its ores, and in the refin
ing of the first products, as taken crude
from the smelting furnaces. Within a
few years past, various important discov
eries have .been heralded to the world,
but, looking at the actual state of the
trade, so far as it has succeeded In making
these discoveries of practical profit, we
are not able to find such cause for
congratulation as to justify the sanguine
predictions of inventors. It is neverthe
less true that, while many of the expected
results have not been attained, there have
still been secured many valuable addi
tions to tile Stock of practical knowledge,
and it is reasonable to believe that the
• way grows,, with every forward step;

best possible methods for the preparation
of the most serviceable of all the metals
for the use of our race.
THE ECLIPSE.
[Correspondence of the Plttsbuab Gazette.)
OAKLAND, Sy., August 9, 1869.
The very extensive preparations, which
had been made for the observation of the
total eclipse in this section, appear to haire
been rewarded by a full success.
Four parties, working in conjunction,
occupied as many points from Falmouth
on the Northern limit of totality, to Oak.
land on the- Southern. The principal
station was at Shelbyville, to which, in
addition to the eqUatorial belonging to
the college there, and a very complete set
of instruments of precision, under the
charge of the United States Coast Survey,
several large telescopes for photography
and other purposes, and numerous-spec
troscopes, had been brought from Cam
bridge.
Tne telegraph brings the information
that eleven bright lines were seen in the
rose-colored flames during the eclipse,
only nine having been hitherto detected,
and the existence of more than five of
these having been deemed doubtful. This
observation can hardly tail to give us
more definite knowledge of the constitu
ents of the solar atmosphere than we have
hitherto enjoyed.
The writer was one of those to whose
share it fell in the division cf labor to
observe, as closely as possible, to the edge
of the shadow, and where the duration of
the eclipse was of the briefest. The Chro
nograph and some of the other instru:
meats belonging to the observatory of
our University ln Allegheny, were dia•
mounted for the purpose, and brought to
Oakland, a station on the line of the Louis
villa & Nashville railroad. At the same
point an apparatus was so arranged that the
current of electricity on the main telegraph
line was broken every second during the
progress of the eclipse, by the motion of
a pendulum, each beat of which was re
corded on the Morse registers of every
telegraph station on the main line. The
operators were requested- by telegraph to
strike their keys at the commencement
and close of the contacts, and an accu
rate register was thus, it is hoped, ob
tained at many points where there could
be no trained observers.
The phenoniena of the totality were of
a most impressive' character, though
necessarily comprised in a brief period,

lieved the site possessed the natural ad
vantages for a great city. At that dine,
in the infant West, railroads were not; -
water communications were all we had,
and likely to remain so, and to all appear
antes it was reasonable to look tor a grand
convergence of traffic thither, as of carts
and omnibusses to-day at the south-end of
City Hall Park, New York. Cairo is
precisely such a focus, the two great
rivers being represented by the broad and
busy avenues which there pour their mul
titudinous throng into one turbulent
mass.
The transient visitor wonders yet why
a great metropolis has not grown up
there, in spite of the low site, the annual
overflow, the presumed unhealthiness, all
of whichobstacles could have been over
come as easily as at Chicago. The san
guine citizens still anticipate a glorious
future, and attribute their moderate pros
perity hitherto to Chicago jealousy and
misrepresentation.
Perhaps so; perhaps Martin Chtaziewit
should shoulder a part of the blame; per
haps no system of water communication
can give permanent prosperity to an in
land city without extensive facilities for
speedy land transportation. Whatever
the cause may be, Cairo to-day, instead
ot 200,000 - inhabitants, contains barely
12,000, of whom about one-quarter are
indigent freedmen, who found their way
there as refugees during and since the
war.
It may be imagined that Cairo does not
wear an aspect of great prosperity. The
numberless eating and drinking places
that line her costly leven, stand with
doors invitingly open; but few, alas! are
the hungry and thirsty way-farers to
cross their thresholds. The traveler
whose fate compels him .o pass a night
there is startled by the •ghostly echo of
his own foot-tall through the long corn
dors of the St. Charles. He dispatches
or neglects the business that brings him
there and hastens.to some esa lonely spot.
Cairo approximates a nearly as any
place I know of to a " nished' town.
The Government is bui ding a Custom
House, an elegant struct're of free stone
1
to cost, if ever completed, about $300,000.
1.
The Freedmen's Bureau s putting up,a
school house which will be worth $3,000.
This is all Uncle Sam'S work, besides
which, in rambling for a couple of days
through the town, I found one frame
dwelling erecting. I could not hear that
there were any accession to the popula
tion, except in the old I way, that even
even dull times will not hinder.
The future of Cairo is "in the lap of the
gods." Whatever may have been said,
there are much worse plaCes. Her people
assert the location to be a healthy one.
They say that the great mass of water
contributed to the Ohio b rivers flowing
from the south raises its temperature con
siderably above that of the Mississippi,
and that the result is a constant current
of air over the peninsula and town. This
is scientific, and I. rather think true, and,
if eo, it must be conducive to a healthful
climate. It is said very few people die
there, which may be accounted for some
other way. People don't like to be
buried under water, and the nearest
ground suitable for: a cemetery is twelve
miles off at Villa Ridge. Thither 01 rail
all funerals go, at the trifling expeele of
sixty-five dollaTs a car. It is easy see
that dying is about the most expel sive
luxury one can indulge in at that city.
Whether you go to heaven or to—Chicago
from Cairo, you must take the Illinois
Central. don't know the fare to Chi
cago, but it is not sixty-five dollars. •
Southern Illinois taken kindly to its
nickname,"Egypt." The county of
which Celo is the capital.' is Alexander.
Thebes Is not far off on the Mississippi.
Dengola is on the railroad; some thirty
miles north. Thin beer is brewed at the
Egyptian Brewery, and the shores of the
Nile are not more regularly overflowed'
than the streets ot Cairo. There is no
Pasha that I know of, except the mild
ejaculations of travelers. ;And so we
leave Cairo.
Let me give the Illinois. Central credit
for promptness, speed and good coaches,
not to forget a capital supper at Centralia.
"Like a good deed in a naughty world,"
this shines among western eating stations,
and deserves more than this notice.
'BITTY MAGINN.
Washington Items.
A leading member of the Republican
party or Mississippi, who left here some
days Bind to see the President, has just
returned from Secretary Fish's residence
on the Rudson. He had a long inter
view, during which the politics of Missis
sippi were fully discussed, the President
himself leading off in a free statement of
his own views on the coadition of affairs
in the South. If the gentleman who had
the interview felt at liberty, without the
President's permission, to give in detail
the views so fully expressed to him, there
would no longer be the slightest doubt
that the former _heartily sustained the
party that supported Wells in Virginia,
Stokes in Tennessee, and now opposes
Dent in Mississippi. There is not .the
