December will occur an event of utmost importance to the astronomical world?the transit o , Venus across the face of the sun; and j I all civilized countries will send out, | scientific partics-to take observations. I ; The United States alone has under- j i takeu to ecuin ei<rht carries??75,000 ! j having been appropriated for the ex-i i petitions by Congress?and of these ' | four are to sail for.'foreisn stations, at j ! the Cape of Good Hope,Xew Zealand. Fatasronia and Chili. The other four will take observations at "Washington, at San Antonio, Texas, at Cedar Key.i, ; and at Fort Thorne, New Mexico, j The importance of the event is partly due to its rarity. The last transit was on Decembers, 1874?eight years ago?but the next one will not take place until June 7, A. D..2004; Transits occur always in pairs with an interval of eight years between -the two Tinf liifftrroJ tlx* | pairs is vast. There are only four transits to every period of two bun-' dred twenty-five years. Their periodicity is so well known that the date of future transits, and ev?n the hour and minute, has aiready been calculated to the 30th century of oar era. Thus we know that in the 30th century of the Christian era the first transit will occur on the 17th of June, 2976, at I precisely twenty-thcee minutes and ; thirty seconds past nine in the morn-! ing, and be of short duration; while I ^l\A fAAAiir\ mill aaah ?' r\i\ TmiO 111 K urc o^wuu. n in va vuuw j 29S4, at two minutes and twenty-two seconds past three in the afternoon, and will last for seven hours and fifty-two minutes. The interval between transit pairs is 113A years, plus- or-- minus eight years. The great intrinsic importance of the transit is, of course, in the fact that it affords the most certain means of ascertaining the.exact- distance between the earth and the sun, in the previous calculation of which there, still remains a possible error of half a million miles.: Besides this method, there are five J .other w.ays ot calculating me sun s j distance: First, by the swiftness of} light: second, by the aberration of light daring' telescopic observations; third, by the movement of the moon; fourth, by the muss, of the planets; fifth, by the opposition of Mars, Flora, j etc- The result of all six methods j combined yields very nearly the same j figures. The present transit may, uu- j der favorable conditions, give us such j oi\<l PACilltc tlliif tll^rO I pvciu* Ci?IV * J/J VV/lv-V/ IVCUilC) *&4v?v V??V4 v j will no longer be auy <Luibt as to the distance of the sun. If all the planets .moved with eqnal speed such phenomena would never occur, or' would assume permanent form. Venus would either appear continually like a bright moth between j the earth and the syjiw-QTwimM never cross his flaming disc before our eyes. JJut the comparative swiftness of the planets in their course is very different. While the earth moves with a Telocity about sevcutv-Sye times j greater than that of a ri3e ball/Mercu- j t-t- fiMvnk n:io Vi 11 nr?vorl mid COVPMtfWHI ! times more swiftly?and while the: earth nmkes 643.000 leagues a day, Venus travels 7-50.000, and Mercury 1,012,000, or 3,036,000 mi'es. It is when Venus, %pnr-suimr the earth in her race around the sun, overtakes her and passes by that the transits occurs. ?ei" i Political Eotes. It turns out,that the n<imi-nec<if~the Greenback-Radical Convention for Adjutant General is a clerk in the store of Mis John Kuker,. a Florence merchant. Mr. DeJough has had rather a Taned experience. He has frequently failed in, business, and, being once arrested for fraud, had to pay himself out - of the scrape. He speaks bad, very bad English, is extremely awkward in person, and is-altogether just .the man to disgrace the office for which he hopea to be elected by negro votes. Mr. Stanton, the Greenback-Radical candidate for State treasurer, is a barkeeper in Pickens. McLane had his meeting in Summervill on-,the 14th, there being present ..1 i. .ft r__ V .1 ^ i J. j auuui, lurty wuue men aim a nuuureu negroes. The whole affair was flat, and may be put down as a failure. The meetings held under the programme of the Democratic State Executive Committee have, been well attended, and the speakers have been received witit an enthusiasm that re- . calls^he stirring times of 1876. It is not easy to get np -feeKng in <j^iet .times such as.we now enjoy, and the success of .the State canvass up. io.tbzs^ time augurs a triumph in .November. The nomination of,- Col. Asburv Coward for Superintendent of Education is received-with universal .favor. A-betteKrSelection could not have been made, and the Statfe--Committee deserve the thanks of the people for the wisdom thus .shown. Colonel .Coward .. is-a teacher by. profession-, and for nearly thirty years?except the time he gave up. to gallant .service in the Confederate army?has-devoted him- . self assiduously to his calling. His . experience as an organizer aud- his great executive ability will make themselves frit in the school svstern of the State. We congratulate him upon this . unsought tribute, and predict for him a career that will reflect equal honor : upon himself and upon the State. Col. Win. Wallace has been nomi- . nated for Senator from Richland and will be elected. He has many friends in. Fairfield who are pleased to learn j that he has received this high honor at | the hands of his fellow-citizens, and who will watch his career in the Senate with pride and pleasure. As usual, the "splits" in the Radical ranks have closed up, an.fl the rogues present a solid front as they walk hand-in-haud with their. Greenback allies. < Mr. W.- "WY Ruesell, the- Greenback i chairman, is on,the war path?and ; wants money. He publishes a card, j. addressed to General Izlar. chairman : of the Democratic State Ej^utive .Committee, notifying hiya. "that any.. atteniDt to divide time, according to the methods herefore practiced by tl*e Democratic partisans, will be resisted as an invasion of the right of free speech and assemblage. These rights are guaranteed both by the Constitution of the State and of the United States, and we will resist ell interference by all lawful means." Mr. Russell also -publishes an address "to the friends of the reform movement in Smith Piimliiii"' dnr-lariiio- that "the BourboiiS have the treasury to back them, while the Greenbackers have only willing hearts and ready hands." and saying: "it will require money to canvass the State and I appeal to all Greenbackers to coma forward and contribute aid to canvass the State. * *" * Eet Greenbackers give from twenty-five cents up." "Not honor but money is needed !" JS~QTJL'S JFliOJI COL UJI2SIA. What is Happen In r on the Banks of the Conga roe. Columbia, September 13.?The capital of the State is wide awake and in good heart. The meeting of the Greenback convention, several Radical powwows and the Democratic ward meetings to elect delegates to the county convention, have stirred the people up politically, whille the promising wop prospects, presaging a good fall trade, the reopening of the University and the increase of. labor applied to developing the canal,, makes business men enter upon their preparations for the future with renewed hopes of prosperity*. The Greenback ticket bas been sufficiently discussetlin the papers already. It is too frail a strfiE to bear the. Radicals into power again. TIa>y.caudo better by launching a bark of their own upon the political waters. As usual, the Radicals of Richland have split, and send congesting, delegations to the Congressional convention of the black district. It is now said that Smalls will favor Mackev against Lee, as "he prefers a white man to a white negro." The mutual jealousies ^c o ,,11., t ,.u UI OU1 ill 15* <WiU - JLiUCj CULl 1 C311ill?? IV/ prevent the other- fro a becoming the negro leader, may end' in allowing Mac-key to slip in. The county Democratic convention of Richland meets shortly. It consists of one hundred and twenty-eight members. half from, the city and half from the country. "All interest centres on the Senatorial election, the candidates being Col. F. W. MeMaster and Col. Wm. Wallace. The county is fortunate in having two such good men to /.lii.ncn fmm Vni'v t'nw /?finH5Hntna have yet appeared for the other offices, and it is impossible to say who will be nominated. At the last meeting of one of the county clubs a large number of members were admitted, who had formerly been Greenbackers or antistock-law men, but who have come to the conclusion that their iuterests lie with the Democratic party. At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Penitentiary, a few evenings ago, it was decided that work 011 the canal was not being pushed vigorously oiii-l oc t1m fniml(ivr?r1 fiiv UUU ug. UI\. Av/tvv v*? * / ? sonic time has been less than one hundred hands, it-was resolved that for the next four months the minimum number-must be one hundred and twentv, and additional force shall be employed, if available. The director? also appropriated S-'OOO, which, with $4,000 given by the city council, will pay the damages assessed to private parties for right of way, etc., so that the work will be pushed at once. How this can be called a local matter, or a grab in favor of Columbia, it is hard to see. Much of the opposition to the development. of this water nower sorinirs from a Oii^coilCPytiou..-- CCho-Stirfe' vrriV-crErn ine power, and private parties can secure the use of it only upon payment of a royalty. If the State gets back a handsome dividend yearly for the labor of the convicts, it matters not where this enterprise is conducted.i Columbia, it is true, will derive benefit from factories, but she will pay the State for them, just as the phosphate companies pay wages for the convicts. The remuneration in the latter case is direct, in the former it is secondary, but the result is the same. By the expenditure of one or two hundred thousand dol lars the Stale will eventually secure an annual rental of fi'tv thousand. Thss Is a capital investment. Much of the revenue of Georsria is derived from tlis-. lease of the Sttfe railroad. Illinois levies no State tax, simply bccause the revenues from the Iliiuois Central Kailroad are more than enough to defray the expenses of the government. In the same.- way may, South Carolina hope: in-*.the future by the lease of the water power, the phosphate royalties and the leasing jof convicts to diminish greatly the burden of taxation. It is to the interest of all sections 01 tiie state to am in any wovk that will accomplish iiusre^nlt. Were the masses better informed upon- all such matters the occupation of the demagogue would-be at an end. The faculty of the University have elected Professor John M. McBryde as chairman, to act as president -pro tern. Mr. McBryde is a native of Abbeville, in this State, was in the South Carolina College two years and bore off distinguished honors. He left college on account of his health, but subsequently pursued a course in the University of Virginia. Served _ in the war. and after the surrender settled in Virginia as a planter. His success in that line and his prominence in the scientific deliberations of the Grange* caused him to be elected us a member of the Board of Visiters- of-'1h.s. -Virginia University, in which capacity lie served some time. In-. 1879 he was chosen, professor of agriculture in the University of Tennessee, and in three years conducted a system of experiments that attracted general attention. The fanners of Tennessee were so much attracted b*- his scientific attainments and his-practical knowledge. that they protested against his removal from Knoxville, and offered 'most tempting inducements to .him, to remain. Like many other-South Carolinians, however, he was drawn to his native Stare, and has; come back, bringing with him large experience and great zeaj and energy. Jn the prime., of life, and possessing more than ordinary executive ability, Professor McBryde is well qualified (o preside over the institution. His genial manners will make him deservedly popular. D. A IX ABOl'T EXSII.A GE. Process-of Preparing this Valuable Food? A Hint to Our Farmers. Columbia, September 14.?In a conversation with Professor McBryde* a few days ago-j he- mentioned-ineideutally that he had put up nearly two hundred tons of ensilage (I forget the exact figures) on his* experimental farm at Ivnoxville, just before leaving to assume his. duties -at the University here. As the subject of ensilage is much discussed now-a-days, I asked him something about it, and he referred me for information to his agricultural report , for 1SS0. The article therein contained is full of interest. I will mr? o cvtmnaic fl?r ihp hptlpfif nf thfi e>" ^ ** *V ""I farmers of Fairfield. Ensilage is said to be nothing- more than preserved green forage, and is analogous to canned vegetables or canned .fruits. The green food is packed away in airtight compartments during summer or autumn, and is thus kept green for winter use. As none of the juices are lost it can. b.ej:ea<lUy seenjtfi&ih&.&od, L, thus preserved ir ust go very much farther than the dried product. All sorts of food can fce pitted, but Indian corn gives the best results. Articles heretofore published have given elaborate descriptions of bricked I and ceuiente3 sihs, or- p:ts, the very ; cost of which would deter almost any ! farmer from making the experiment. Professor McBryde, however, made his first ensilage as^follows: "A pit was prepared on the northern j side of a small grove and 011 the edge I of a dry knoll, nine feet long, six feet j wide and six feet deep. The soil was 1 a strong, firm clay over a close, dry and compact red clay subsoil. The sides of the pit were neither bricked i ! up nor cemented. Owing to the long continued drought the corn was dry . I and wilted. It was cut down, when I the ears were beginning to fill,, with! sickles?about th?> middle of Septem- j ber?and imuiedia'ely carted to the pit i after being weighed. ]t was carefully; , laid lengthwise in the pit and closely ; down, laver by laver.. The mass was carried up vertically six feet above the | surface of the pit iii order to allcw for i 1 its settling. About three feet of the clay was then thrown on top. and it j .! was allowed to sti.nd for twenty-four \ j hours. At the expiration of.that time | I it hassettled down almost to the stirI face. It was then heavily tnunped ?| and more clay thrown on the top and , j sides. In a .day or so more the mass j had settled down well into the pit. j The pit was closely watched for some ; t?mo onrl oil fftVPl'pH nrv Tf I held 13,000 pounds of *lie green corn. As its-capacity was 3-4.cubic feet, the ensilage must have weighed about forty pounds to the cubic feet. " When opened on the 13th of December last, three months after it was tilled, the mass within was found to be sound aud fresh and but slightly changed in appearance, the edges and ! top alone to the depth of an inch or so I being somewhat damaged. One eirc?i . only of the pit was-opened,1 The soil | was taken from this end and the e'nsi- j lagc removed by cutting a slice out j j vertically downwards. An axe had to j the compression of the mass.' After a | few hours' exposure to the a;p-alcoholic fermentation set in. This food was greatly relished by the stock. The end of the pit was left uncovered, except that a little straw was thrown 011 top of the opened section. The ensij lfigetwas fed out during the months of i December, January and February, i remaining sound ami. unaltered to the lad. "From a careful comparison of the (published results of..numerous experi! tnenls, I have every reason to believe j I that corn will keep as well in pits dug I i in the naked clay as in bricked up and j 1 cemented silos, provided the clay is cL:y and compact.. ! "The great object to be-attained is j the exclusion of air, which contains J ! oxygen, tnc grear agent 01 decay.:.The walls*- of.the pits mu>t be perpendicular, so as admit of tlie set- j tling of the mass. It is also advisable I to chop up the food before pitting1; but | : this is not necessary. The cost of cut| ting, hauling, chopping up and packj ing the corn in lhe pit was 6-^- cents i per ton, with labor at seventy-five 'cents a day. Th3 corn should be! j packed away immediately on cutting, j I and before it wilts; and a little rain on j : it docs no harm. The best covering is j ; carth,.. which affords a "continually ! 1 descending pressure." The feeding value of ensilage is two : ?/M.c Ai. of ( /mii nnnjliii'i] v/i uuiuanu <?l u\i;u vuvtmni i*y | one-half that of hay. From two to five tons of hay can be produced on an | acre of best meadow. The same land ! should yield twenty-five to thirty tons of Indian corn with the same treatment. In France the average is from twenty-six to thirty-five tons of corn, j and even sixty-six tons per acre are reported. Goliart claims 1S3 tons from an acre from the gigantic maize of : Central America. It is contended by no one that eusi. lajre alone will fatten an animal. It I must be enriched by the addition of -i-ctmr mrar, "whrm,?'?ran, Shlp~~5nTfl~. OTP " cake, etc.- A successful farmer fed'to each of his fattening steers-daily two ! quarts of corn meal and twenty-seven i pounds of ensilage witu most satisiacj tory results. The general testimony of dairymen is that no other feeding : stuff will compare with green Indian ; corn in increasing the yield of milk; , heinie the value.,el* ensilage in thewin! ter for milch cows. j A great deal more of valuable in: formation is contained in this article, j but I can qi*o*e no more. I wish that i some of our progressive Fairfield ' farmers would try this experiment- of ensilage. The. process described is very simple.ahd economical-. It would be a capital idea to try the millo maize as au ensilage corn. Its luxuriant \ growth is evidence tliat it would make ! an enormous yield- home . of the j patches-are in good condition now for the experiment, 1>. * SOTES JFItOtT* COLUMBIA, The Dem<?cratic County Convention -The Vici?nitndeK of Circus ]L.ife-Ju^jcaJfcnJc^5's Double Somerset* : [Correspondence of Tbe News and Herald.) Columbia, September 16. ? The Djeiuocwitic County Convention met j yesterday. One hundred and twentv; eight members were enrolled, embrac5 in?r the best elements in the county.

The chief interest, as i I wrote before, centred on the Senatorial contest, and the friends of the two candidates were actively engaged in canvassing, while quite a number of other gentlemen were "shaking bands" with the Legislature or county eommissionership in view.
