On Saturday last Dr. Herman Ko- bold and Messrs. Adolph Marcuse and Frederick Carl, members of the Ger-, man expedition tor the observation of j the transit of Venus, arrived at Aiken and registered at the Park Avenue | Hotel. Dr. Julius Franz arrived at | Graniteville on Sunday on the C. C. ! A A. Railroad, and came on to Aiken , by private conveyance. Dr. Franz is ; one of the astronomers of the Royal Observatory in Koenigsberg, and Dr. Kobold is the manager of a private observatory in Hungary; Mr. Marcuse is the scientific assistant, and Mr. Carl the raecl a ician. On Sunday last we called on these gentlemen, in company with the Hon. <4. W. Croft, and were received by Drs. Franz ami Kobold. We found them most agreeable and cultivated gentlemen, understanding the theory of the English language and pro nouncing admirably, when their lim ited opportunity for practice is taken into consideration, having only landed ' in New York on the 23d inst. We learn from them that they are liber ally supplied with instruments by the German Government, and that as soon as they definitely decide on a loca tion, they will build an observatory of iron, with two towers, covered with sail cloth and about thirty feet high. We inquired of them the num ber and nature of the instruments they used, and received for answer— four kinds: the first and chief instru ment is the Heliometer, used forgiv ing double images snd measuring the distance between the centre of Venus and the centre of the sun; second, two refactors to observe contacts of Venus with the sun and occultations of stars by the moon; third, transit instrument, to observe t ime and to make a telegraphic determination of difference of longitude between Aiken and the Naval Observatory at Washington; fourth, two altazimuths or universal instruments to observe latitude by and other employments. They are instructed by their govern ment to erect a pillar of masonry to mark the exact spot upon which their instruments rested while making these observations, so that in alter years the identical spot may be made use of to verify calculations or make new observations. The transit of Venus will occur on the 6th of December, but they will remain in Aiken probably two or three weeks longer, to finish up their work. We assured these gentlemen that every facility would be extended by the Mayor, Council and citizens generally, tor the prosecution of their scientific investigations, and after a short but very pleasant visit took leave of our distinguished guests. The German Government have sent expeditions to the following addi tional points: Punta Arenas, at the Straits of Magellan; Bahea Blanca, in the Argentine Republic; and at Hartford, Connecticut. On Tuesday next we earnestly ad vise the strictest observance of law and order. Let every Democrat rally at the polls and east his vote for good ’ government, popular education and ! civilization. But let everything be ; done decently and in order. Ihe' enemy are already whipped, all that we have to do is to record our victory at the Ballot Box. ELECTION NOTICE.

The , instrument was purchased in Boston, and cost about $000. The Coining Big Show. The Sells Brothers seem to have struck the keynote to success by con solidating their various tented exhib itions, and their monster entertain ment of six united circuses and menageries is winning golden opin ions wherever it has been exhibited.

And presenting, as it will, such an unprec edented array of arenic novelties, so many of the best skilled artists in the equestrian and gymuic profession, such an unusual programme of special features, and so colossal a collection of rare wild animals, the attendance will, undoubtedly, be large.
