Governor Oglesby delivered his Inaupural to the general assembly to-day. Ho dwelt at considerable length upon the different stages of develop' ment the state has passed through , as marked by the tbrao constitutions which have been adopted from time to time by the people. The remainder of the address was confined almost exclusively to a statement of his views upon the various phases of the criminal law , and to suggestions bearing upon registra tion and election matters. Governor Oglesby pointed out that many of the safeguards thrown around the individual as a protection against the cruel despotism of former agents are now obsolete , and ought not to bo urged In the interest of the criminal classes. Said ho : "Ono of the steps taken now by those charged with crime , and guilty of it , is to seek a change of venue. I seriously doubt II a change of venue should ever bo granted in a criminal case. It can scarcelyba possible that impartial jurors cannot bo found , in any county where the crime may be committed , to try any case which may arise. I _ believe _ that plain and simple justice requires that tno criminal should bo tried where the crime was committed. If , however , a change of venue shall continue to bo granted in criminal cases , I reccommend that the defendant shall bt required to make application for ttio change at the first term of court , when he shall be arraigned for trial , and not afterward. " The governor added : "I recommend that the stain to bo so amended as to allow prison ers arraigned for crimes punishable with death or imprisonment for hfn , a challenge of not to exceed six jurors and in all other criminal cisos no' to exceed three , nnd that the state bo allowed a like number of challenges , and that if two or moro , be joinodin one indictment for ono offense , that the state shall be entitled to a like number ol challenges , as may be allowed to the de fendants. I base this recommendation upon tha reason , which , I believe , experience proves , that no honest nnd peaceable disposed citizen can , in the nature of things , over bj his daily life so ariay ngaiiut him any largt number of hid neighbors , whoso secret hatot and prejudices would bo of sucli a serious character as to Ix carrioi into the jury box. ' Ho favored the abolition of the practice of swearing In votes on flection day. Ho be lievcd the hour for closing thn polls should be changed to an earlier ono than seven o'clock , and advocated alteration of the mode ol selecting judges of election , so as to mak < them elective , and providing that all of their should not belong to ono politica party. He invited serious attention U the whole subject of election laws saying : "Tho recent bold altemp' ' in Chicago to perpetrate upon the legal and qualified voters of that city , a shameful fraut which has become national in its infamy , ha : revived a general solicitude upon the subjec of our regUtrntion and election laws , through out the state , A body of men who deliber ntely conspire to rob the people of their vote' and carry an election by such meann , wouli without hesitation rob the community , estate state , of its liberty , and bo first in any move ment to inaugurate despotism , or to over throw the government by anarchy and ruin.
