Why are the journals containing the
proceedings:o of the last General Assem-
bly, withheld from general distribution!
They contain the proef Of the charges
which have been brought by the dem
ocratlc press against various republican
officers, and should be laid before the
people. They should have been dis
trlbuted long since and the people, the
tax -payers, have right to knowl-
edge of the facts of which they are the
evidence.
The " long heads" who sit day and
night with both paws in the State
Treasury, and who control the desti-
mics Of the Republican party of Iowa,
for their own personal benefit, dare
not distribute the evidence Of their ras-
cality and, We venture to say, will with
hold the Journals from the public I'M
til after the October election.
If they are not AFRAID of the effect
of the facts which these records contain,
let the State Printer do his duty and
distribute the Journals

We had grand democratic rally in Knox

on National and State politics.
Mr.. Trimble handled the questions of ma.
tional character with skill and knowledge
which commended him to the people of Ma
rion county. lie showed up the fallacy of
their position on the bred Scott decision and
kicked the black republicans off of the Gin
cnnat platform. Convinced his hearers
that the republican party instead Of pro-
mitigating set of principles upon which to
fight the present campaign, have gone into
the conflict with the expectation of stealing
their way into power again by a non COM
initial course.
Mr. Ellwood took Up the important ques-
ton which is the real issue before the peo-
pie of Iowa. the extravaganza Of our State
government. lie showed up the corrup-
tionists in bold and uuanswerabe man.

More about the Comet.

We clip the 70 flowing facts additional to
those already published by us. in regard to
the great comet now visible, from the St.
Louis Republican:
Those who look upon the small nebulous
star now visible can hardly realize the ter
rifle appearance Of this same object when,
in 1864. it approached the sun with tail
one hundred deyreee IN length Its tail came
streaming up in the mornins; several hours
before its lead and when it's nucleus was in
the zenith, the train stretched below the
Western horizon. 1t is said to have disap
peared October Sd, on the day of the death
OF Pope Urban Nv. 1t was, of course,
thought special forerunner Of that event.
The excitement and crude speculation re-
lative to its anticipated near approach to
the earth last year is still in everybody
memory. There Is no necessity of repeating
that were a comet to strike the earth it
could not penetrate tie -earth's atmosphere
on account Of the superior density of the
latter. But the inclination of the Comet to
the earth's orbit being go great, (36 deg.)
there could scarcely be possibility of .
brush" from its tail at any time. 1t is in
teresting to consider this object in light of
a traveller, Xix Won Humboldt A journey
Of two hundred and ninety two years is no

In 975 it saw the earth in the midst of
the dark ages, Basil and Constantine VIII.
reigasd over the Eastern Empire. In Eng
land. the horrid murder Of Edward, the
martyr, by his step-mother. Elfrida. had just
been consumated. The Norwegians were
making discoveries in Greenland, and soon
after descended upon this continent.
In 1864, on its next visit, it witnessed the
first regular Parliament in England, and the
success Of the Pope in his struggle for tenn
pofal power over Italy. The crusades had
begun to tell in their effect upon the culture
of tho age.
In 1856 it found America discovered and
greedy Spaniards rioting in wealth and
blood ct the ancient capital of the Actecs
and in the Peruvian citiea Queen Eliza

Accounts which have reached us
from all portions Of the State contain
intelligence cheering to the heart OF
every democrat and tax payer.
In the first Congressional District,
where the republicans have made their
great battle ground and have mustered
all their forces in support Of Curtis, the
'..greaahydraulic," theylhave been met,
and again and again, have been defeat
ed by Col. Trimble, the democratic
candidate, single handed and alone.
Expecting to meet only the "Great
Hydraulic" in discussion, Mr.. Trimble
has frequently found himself opposed
to two, three or four, republican orators
who had been dispatched by the "long
heads" to prop the wsning fortunes Of
the republican canoidate-but relying
UPON the justice Of his cause and the
truth contained in his principles, he
has met the enemy but to conquer
them.

mail brings US renewed evidences O,
