The Press and the Politicians.

A few days ago the Senate of the
United States passed bill aimed at the
liberty OF the newspapers. Though COW
ering other matters, the New York
Herald says 1.-THE bill was framed with
special reference to the American press.
All the leading newspapers maintain
correspondents or agents in Washing
ton, and the real object of the bill Is TO
facilitate libel suits against public jour-
nails and compel them TO make their de-
fence in Washington Court before n
Washington jury. Senator Bayard o.

exception of cases OF libel and SANDER

The New Comet.


We clip from the New York Herald
the following notice OF the celestial
stranger now blazing Its way through
the northern heavens:
This new cloud of cosmical dust is TO
become in 3 few weeks one of The most
/ splendid meteors ever witnessed. Ii
was first discovered on April l7th nii..
/ by Nj. Coggia, at Marseilles, small, but
having an Intense nuclear condensation.
It's polar distance was about 20 degrees,
10 minutes and 90 seconds. aud 1t was
moving slowly towards the southwest.
II was first visible in the early morning,
but is now also visible in the evening.
1t has been increasing in brightness.
aud, by sharp aud somewhat prartised
eye, can be seen in the constellation
Camelopard in right ascension about
seven hours aud declination about 70
degrees north. II isnow receding Fl ON
the sun and is diminishing in actual
size and brightness, but as IL is ap.
preaching nearer 10 us its briliance is
apparently augmented.
| This luminous meteor, which IL nam
cd Comet III. of 1874, is wholly outside
OF the carth's orbit, but, as II moves on
its fiery track, will on the Sd OF August
attain its maximum beauty and bright
ness for us. When first deserted by NJ.
Coggia its brightness was only one in
The scale, now it is nearly seven; but
'aner the LIST of July it will reach a
much higher degree OF luminosity, aud
Oh the Sd of August will have bright
ness Of two hundred and fortyfive.--
These figures will afford the reader an
idea Of what an astronomic heat he may
look forward TO in August.
Some preliminary, but not perfect,
spectroscopic examinations have been
already made of the new wonder, for
which, no doubt, scientists and the pub
lie generally will wait eagerly. There
is something so wonderful to the human
mind and SO surprising all attempts to
fathom in these enormous volumes of
cometasy matter whirling on fixed
paths through planetary space, that ev-
cry effort should be made to analyze
and spectroscopically test their nature.
Already the telescope has revealed
nearly seven hundred comets, and every
year we have one or two new ones
Greater activity among well equipped
star-gazers would probably show n
much larger number rushing along on
or near the carth's orbit. The disturb.
ing effect on the earth's atmosphere Of
such comet ms iIailey's, whose tail
was nearly ninety thousand miles long
and whose temperature was more than
twenty five thousand times that of the
MONDAY sun at the Equator. is prob
lem well worthy OF more accurate in
vestigaton than ii has ever received -
AS yet it does not appear that C0ggia's
comet, the second of 1874, is associated
with the stream of August meteors ;
but that also remains for investigation.
Let our astronomers and spectroscop-
lists make the most Of this new visitor
from the distant fields Of the stellar
world and, If possible, remove the re-
proach which the ignorance Of The con.
sttuiion Of cometary bodies has so long
entailed or the science of astronomy.
