THE CHICAGO POLITICAL. The People of Ohio as Busy with Politics as Be- fore Election. Thelr Next Governor to Come from the North Half of the State. A Nomination for Governor Lying Be- tween Charley Foster and Gen, Garfield. Probabllity that Sayler Will . Lead the Democratic Host to Defeat. Bpactal Correspondence of The Tribuns, CLRVELAND, O,, Dec. 4.~It Is a pecullarity of the Amerlcan Institutions that one election Is put just over when another begins to bo talked of. Tte fall elections this year selected a Na- tional Congress, and were frmportant and inter- estiug. But tney are past, and the mind of the American citfzen begins serlously to consider the nest great event In the same line, All over fhe country the matter of who shall be tho next Presidential cand!dates s belog quite serfosly consldered, and among paoliticians is agitated to sconsiderable exteat. But, In this State, there is a matter that f{s even mere s thing of puhlle concern than this, becauss ft comes sooner, and fs nearer at pome. Ittathe question of who shall “sign notaries for young Republican, sud pardon Democrats out of the Btato Prison,” when Unecle Dick shail have passed In his Gubernato- rlal checks. That the next Guvernur of Oblo wilt be a Republican, does not admit of a serious doubt. The Biate at large bas had a sufliclency of Jack O'Conpors and Uncle Dicks, and wiil repudiate the party which clected them, Thero 1s, and slways has been, s large worklug major- fty of Republican voters i this State, and all thet s necessary fs to Ret them once aroused pod willlog to out. Bat, o seasuns when it is be- Jeved that the party deserves a rcuke, these “independent” Republican voters refuse to tarn out to the potls. This ouinlon prevalled ton considerablo extent in 1877, when Uncle Dick, the Cincinnati grocer, was elected, but ns happily now nll passed away, s was evinced by the wverwbelining Republican victory last m?l!:xln?;:unten among pollticlans will be ltkely to Le very lively when the time approaches lor the nomipations. Tho American people inherit from their English_ancestry n love for and ten- devcy towerd suything that looks like prece- deat, especlally when that precedent has been s turn success. It haw seemed to bave been conceded of late, both at bhome ana Sbroad, tbat Ohlo men .are In good demand {n the National political market, This is owlug more to peograply than to Lrains, per- baps, but fs none the Jesa truc. Ohblo is a compromise, fiuuvmphlnlly. between the Eanst and West, and, when the twoextremes contend, the tormer, like the monkey lawyer in ths fable, gobbles the clicese for the fecs of arnitration, Oug matter of precedent 1 Presidentlal mat- tera of late {s, that the tivo lust Presldents were Obio men, and the present wcumbent was tri- umpbantty elected Governor beloro he was nominated for the Chlef-Magistrucy of the Natton, Bhrewd politiclons imagine they sco that this year thero will be a contest between tho West and the East on varlous extreme mstters of currency nud tarill; and, whilu the_West wiil not feel ke trusting a man of tho East, New :England will never consent that a Westernranchemun should oceupy the White House. While this_suvpo- sititious stoto of affairs exiats fn the Couven- tiun, what could bo wore natural than to have an Ublo Governor who, from the reglon of Lak Erle, can appreciate tho wants sud necessil of the two contesting sections—ston forward from beuentt his blauket aud carry off the prizel ‘Thus thoy argue, und naught but tine can tell the wisdnm or unwisdom ot thio ealeuin- tion. .'This onc obscrvation might be well dropped by the way, bowever, viz.: Buch a schewe, to Ve o success, needs o bo kept, 1 d“ svrung at the Jass moment; whife, in tho pre: cnt anstance, much talk hus already been {n- duleed o relating to lts feasibility, * That fea- ture may spoil it.

Underwood, of Loulsviile, a committee of onc to address thie snid Governors upon the subject-matter. After sr, Davls, Duncan F. Kenner, of New Orleans, presculed somu sirong romarxs upon the levee matter. This was opposed by Linhan, of Dubuque, who thought that tacking this npun the main LIl would overicad ft.

Hogan directod his remarks to the river and ity dominlons, which he sald extendod from the original thir. tcen Brates to the Pacifie. He spoke of the pre- selenceof President Thomas Jellerson,who fore- saw the tmmense vaiue of the natural nutlet, and spuke of tho near approach of war between France and this country. Thereol he sald that the Misslasippl River bisccted the con. tinent, yet was the pond of unfon which welded in one the Euat and West, e cited as o differ- cence {n cost of tranaportation the trip of the steamboat Willlam, which, on one trip, brought toNew Orleans, in barzes, 37,000 tons, the fretght being only 814,000, which 'Ly rall would have taken 2,700 frelebtcars sud nincty locomotives or more, the frelght amounting to $178,u00.

Hartrorp, Conn., Dec. b.—While the defend- untalu the Charter Oak insurance-conspirucy case propose to depend for acqulttal to some ex- tent npon the evidence of the present officers of the Company that the acts charged as beine done for evil purposes have really resulted Lenefletally, there is an evident disposition to contest the case otep by step from the outsct. Whonever any tecinicality or other point can be utllized iu shutting off testimony for the proses ctitlon, it will be sought, sod this was manifest inthe proceediugs 10-day, The first witness brought for the prosccution stood aside this moroing ou a ruling by Judze Hovey that an sunual statement of the Company signed llxly but & single ona of the wecused could not be ad- mitted o evidence. Agaln, when Halsey Stevens, vresent Secretary of the Conpan, who herd a position through all the days of the fustitut'on's sribulatiuny, was called, the objec- tion was raised that the Company was not vroperly described |u the 1ndictinent, and the Judge sllowed swendmen When 1L was sought to show by Bteven aln tranuslers of stock In 1875, the defense ralsed its most fin- portant question,—that e, whethier the offenses charged i the Indictment are auything other than simple misdeyneanors, and, 1f nothing more scrious, then that, under the Connecticut statute of limitations, 1o cvidencu can be Introduced showing sny acts whatever vcuwsring more than one yeur betore the time of Uringing the accusation, In June last. ‘This viaim, If sus- tained by the Court, would bu a severa blow to the proaceution, as it might sbut out evidence of great fmportauce. ‘The polut is that, §f the oftenaes are stmple misdemenvors, the statute of limitations goes baek only tor a year from last June, but, §f the Lffeuses ure hiza crimes aud hign misdemennors, the etatute permits evidence of any scts withio thrue years. I'he yuestlon was argued during the entire after- 1on, the prosecution clulming that aconsplracy to defraud policy-holders s & bigh misdemeanar, and the defenso that not a single act alleged 1 properly thus fndictabie, uud that the purpose of thc Hate fs to try tu establish crimmatity by & charge of vouspirucy that couid not be catablisbed by any of thu alleged acts.
