property in atmospheric air, called ozone. Its
presence or absence in the air was thought to

so much discussion as to the effects of this as

fact of its existence at all is disputed so strongly

Gen. Hawley's majority is 500; but every

must have at least twice that number. Two.

little either way from 10000. 1t is as likely to
be more as less, and is the largest ever cast.
We Judge that very few voters were left at

the canvass was one affirming that a large sum

in Connecticut; not 50, 900 in the Loyal League

raised here on the other side as on ours, and
more money spent on that side than by the Re-

those who largely used it to divert suspicion.

convicted and sentenced to be hanged. This
sentence was commuted by the President to
imprisonment for life. While in prison they

facts stated ought a writ of habeas corpus
to be issuedl 2. Ought the petitioners
to be discharged from custody ). Had

mission "had no jurisdiction legally to try and
sentence said Mulligan and others in the man
