n, I. Express.
The Republican managers seem now to
be holding the nomination of Grant an
terroren over the heads of their opponents.
with the declaration that if the latter are
not very careful they will ''let slip the
dogs of war" General Garfield puts it in
this way: Whether Grant will be re-
nominated depends largely upon the be-
havior of the Democrats next winter In
Washington. Senator Hoar, OF Massa-
chusetts, makes quite similar declaration,
and the sentiment is echoed along the
whole line. In other words. they say II
you Democrats do not toe the mark and
accede to all our demands, if you attempt
to carry out your policy of fair elections
under the laws. if you insist on keeping
the army away from the polls, or refusing
to allow Republican supervisors aud their
deputies to arrest Democratic voters
wherever they are too numerous, we will
punish you with another four years OF
Grant" 1t lis terrible threat. Really,
it is almost enough to make any peaceable
and patriotic citizen submit to anything.
ANY torture but that!" will be the almost
universal exclamation. But the threat
means q good deal, and shows the real
animus and designs of the present Repub-
llcan managers. And as the Herald well
says: "When the party in power begins to
talk about needing general, so that be
may put himself in Office and that he may
keep down anybody. that means that
they are considering unconstitutional and

Three comets are now visible in the
northern heavens, Two of. them are 10 the
Great Bear, not far apart. The second
comet, discovered by Palisa, is very bright
and can be seen with quite small tele-
scopes, The third comet is faint, but
covers quite a large space. This comet
was observed Wednesday morning at l
o'clock with a three-inch telescope and
comet eye-piece. The comet was so faint
that it could not be we'll defined or kept
steadily in view. 1t was seen by flashes,
whichswe quite bright and seemed to
proceed from a center, If the last two
comets have not already passed their per-
ihelion, they may yet be seen with the
naked eye. Have these comets any con.
nection with the August meteors? The
radiant point of the August meteors i;
is near the great cluster in Perseus. anC
near that cluster Prof Swift discovered the
first comet of the year. This proximity o.
the comet to the cluster, however, is not a
sufficient reason for connecting it with the
