Correspondence of the Tribune.

CobuMsus, Dec. 3. 1871.
While the Wings hereaway fee! justly proud Of
their glorious tribute TO the worth and the patriot
ism CT Henry Clay, they also have IN atarpace for
rejoicing when they reflect upon their State trophies,
and look upon the good men and true who now have
long sought-for opportunity 10 redeem this beau
,iful State from the evils which havcthus retarded
her prosperity snd crippled her enterprise. No
Commonwealth in the Union has suffered more from
Loco. Fococ hcanery than Ohio Medary, Broush,
McNulty, and The Ursa Majors Of +" the party" have
,inkered at the currency, and packed the Congress.

Hards and Softs' sent us an able Wing Senator.
KELLEY and PERKINS of the Reserve are streng
men, and will aid vastly in clearing up the rubbish
of by-gone Democracy In the House. Alfred
Kelley and Seabury Ford, Jno NJ. Woolsey and
J. e. Coombs with many others, are already ma
turing measures that must tend To disburthen the
State, and build up sound Currency; as you we'll
know, greatly needed.
In the organization Of the House, yesterday, every
thing weat on with despatch No time was lost, and
old Members tell me that at no Session within their
remembrance was so much effected in SO brief pc
Rod of time. The Locos so astonished that
they did not even once demand the cas- and Nays!
absence of mind up to this tire unparalleled.
Acting Governor BARLEY, Jf. sent 10 ms message
this morning. and it read 10 but dull audience;
the cause of which you may readily divine when you
have glanced at mot ready the document.
MoRDEcAI BARLEY, the Richland Farmer, was
thu introduced and, after taking the oath OF ONCE,
spoke for an hour in sty lie OF sensible ana
sagacous observation that went far TO convince all
who heard him that he was every way worthy OF the
high trust confded TO him as Governor OF Ohio You
will receive copy of his Inaugural by this days
mail
The views OF the Governor on Banks and The Cur
rency will be stouty advocated by some OF the leGd-
ing Members, but I doubt the success OF them.
Members take hold Of the entire question with eau
ton and Judgment and will go for no Bill that does
rot promise success beyond al! possibility otfailnre.
Whatever plan is adopted will be wisely guarded,
and Ohio may look for resi- for few years at least
