BAYARD is known out in Ohio as a ram
pageous gold-bug, His recent victory over
the solt-money Democrats in the Senate does
not, therefore, set well on the stomachs of
the Ewingites. 1t places the party in a
very inconsistent attitude to be recorded as
hard-money organization at Washington

SENATOR GROVER now has cause to rise
and explain. The charges against him,
printed in yesterdays NATIONAL REPuBLI-
CAN, were made by his tellow-Democrats,
and furnish a sufficient basis for an investi-
CATION by the Committee on Privileges and
Elections under the rules adopted by that
body in the cases of Senators INGALLS, and
KELLOGG. But, it is proper to remark, that
committee will not do anything to add TO

THE Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle fondly i'm
agincs that the presence in Washington of
Senators GORDON and LAMAR is greatly
needed just now, and roproves them with
the remark that they "were elected to serve
the people in Congress, not to ornament
college rostrums." This is all very well
in the abstract; but the idea of LAMAR be-
ing an ornament to anything outside of q

YES there was one lawless, murderous
rifle club in Illinois a few days ago. We
admit this for the benefit of the defenders
Of the Southern Democratic clubs of similar
character. But we are constrained to add
that the lawlessness and murder committed
by this one single club will be duly punished,
while the bloody outrages and wholesale
assassinations of which tho thousands and
thousands of Southern clubs-save the
mark-have been guilty, are all condoned,
and the perpetrators 20 free of punish

Record OF Ozone.

The following record Of ozone
was taken by Sergeant Barwick OF
the U. s. signal Office of this city
for the Michigan State Board OF
Health. The greater or less amount
OF this substance in the air, rend-
ers the climate healthy or other
wise. Ozone is supposed to be
oxygen in a pure state, caused by
the combination of negative cleo
tricity and moisture with the oxy-
gen of the atmosphere, thereby
producing ozone. Ozone is a pow
erful disinfectant, and in that ca
pacity acts as purifier of the air
we breathe. There are two obser-
vations taken-one, day observa-
ton, from 7 A. NJ. to 3 p. M.-and
the other, a night observation, from
8 p. NJ. to 7 A. NJ. There was
more at night during January than
in the day. In too great an ex-
cess, it has been thought to pro-
duce the catarrh, influenza, and
very greatly effects the whole vas
