The On1o seuRfoE1hip.
AsJ the time is drawing near for the
meeting Of the Legislature, and the elsc-
ion of United States Senator, much in
terest is felt in whatever bears on the sub
ject. We quote the following from the
Washington correspondent Of the Cincin.

assert that it viii Be impossible to elect
any man Of strongly y-pronounced Anti

ing him, these gentlemen rather incline to
GoFernor Tod as on the whole, their most
available candidate.
aFrom the Republican ranks, Judge
Wade will, Of course, be the most promi-
nent candidate. His-friends claim that
his success is already assured. In addi-
ton to his last winters strength, they say
that, in any event two-thirds Of those who
then voted for Columbus Delano, will now
60 for him. That would, of course, npmi-
nate him on the first ballot. Then one or
two quasi Union men, like Mr.. Sayler Of
Cincinnati, who sat in the caucus last
year, and Of course did all they could
against Wade, have now gone openly over
to the leading Democracy. Quite num-
Der Of, the leading Delano men have volun-
tarily written to Judge Wade, informing
him that this session they will go for him
from the outset, and explaining why they
did not last winter. And, argue the Wade
men, BY his conduct last session, and by
subsequent events, Judge Wade has become
the distinctive representative Of the Wig
orous war policy. To defeat him would be
to confirm, by Republican legislative ac-
ton, the peace Democratic victory Of last
fall, to which, of course, it is not presum-
able that q Republican Legislature can
ever be brought.
ado not know that Governor Dennison
is really 8 candidate. If he should be, he
will have Il well-orgsnized party Of ardent
friends. Perhaps the time to vindicste him
from the infamous slander and abuse that
were SO causelessly hesped upon him dur
ing his administration has hardly come.
When it does come, there can be no doubt
Of the result; but under present circum-
stsnces, I hardly believe that Governor
Dennison will suffer his name to be
brought before the Legislature this win
ter.
at is not ascertained conelusively that
Columbus Delano is no longer candidate,
but it is believed If his claims should
still be urged, he will not receive anything
like the support he did last winter" z
