the market? Ifa man has them, and is
willing to run the risk, he may eat and
die, but he may not hold out induce
ments 70 others to initiate his folly.
We give a liberal extract from the
Times article without further COM
ment
!" Extravagant love Of fine clothes,
and ornaments leads to mischief,
especially among the young who can
not afford them; and were it not for
the pernicious example set by the
wealthy, the poor would not be in
duced SO readily to ruin themselves
and families by these needless ex-
penses. Now, what we propose is,
that if sumptuary law" Is to be
passed by the Legislature Of Ohio, we
hope it will 60 the whole round of
needless extravagances; and If State
officers are to penetrate into peoples
cupboards, they shall take note Of the
quality and quantity Of eatables as
well as of drinkables; that they shall
inquire into the money affairs of the
family, and the state Of their health,
their constitutional diseases, &C., &C.,
with view to further legal action
and prohibition. Itmay be advisable
also to take an inventory of wearing
apparel-corsets, corset-boards, thin
soled shoes, silk stockings, &C., &C.,
and if debility, disease and death are
lurking therein, that they be burned
by authority. A vast amount of hu-
man suffering and crime, such as
forgery, desperate speculations, &C.,
&C., to keep up appearances, will
be saved, and orphans and widows
that might have been, will be plucked
from the very jaws of ruin. If the
thing is to be done at all, let it be
done thoroughly"

What Follows.

For a few months past, the laws
against retailing intoxicating drinks,
have been enforced in Akron, Ohio,
and the happy result is that there is
now but one inmate Of The county jail,
and that is Parks, who is a prisoner
under charge Of murder.
Such results follow every where
the abolition Of the traffic in intoxica-
ting liquors. They may be picked up
every day. In the face Of them,
who dare say that this traffic is not a
great curse, and who that has not
money in it dare say that it ought not
at once to be prohibited

Election Of Governor.

We have repeatedly said that, we
should follow out the wishes of the
State Convention, and direct our eff
forts only to secure a Legislature, who
are in favor of a stringent law of liquor
prohibition. Personally, we shall go
the whole figure, and vote for no
man, for any Office, who gives his in
fuence against us. Many feel as we
do on this subject, and we are receiving
letters, almost daily, inquiring as to
the temperance principles Of Medill
and Barrere, the Democratic and Wing
candidates for Governor. We take
this method of answering these inqui-
ries in a very few words. So far as
we can learn, land we have taken
some trouble to get at the truth, J
neither of the men named have any
sympathy for the cause we advocate.
Neither of them are with us, either
in principle or practice, and we sup
pose, honestly, there is no choice be-
tween them in this respect. We have
also been inquired of in reference to
Samuel Lewis, the Free Soil candi-
date for Governor. In reply, we
would say that, Mr.. Lewis has, for
more than twenty years, been an
earnest advocate of temperance, and
is warmly and zealously in favor Of a
law to annihilate the liquor manufac-
ture and traffic.
We have no confidence in either
party as a party, and unless men Of
all parties forget their party ties in
this emergency, nothing will be ac-
complished. So far as members of
the Legislature are concerned, we
trust temperance men, everywhere,
will be true to the cause, at whatever
cost to political parties.

Thomas H. Cummings, G. W. P,
no more

With heartfelt sorrow, we make
the announcement that our beloved
and honored brother, the chosen head
of the Order of the Sons of Temper
ance in Ohio, has been called to lay
his armor by and go to his reward.
He died, as we learn by letter, from
friend, near Alliance, on the morn
ing of the 29d inst. At the last meet
ing of the Grand Division, at Spring
field, his emaciated countenance, trem-
bling step, and feeble voice, clearly in
dicated that his time of earthly SER
vice was near its termination. His
disease was Of pulmonary character.
1t first manifested itself last winter,
when he was returning from an Off
cial visit to Cincinnati. He was at
tackled by severe hemorrhage Of the
lungs, and from that time forward his
health declined until death relieved
him from his sufferings. In his last
official report, he expressed his con-
viction that it would be his final mes
sage to the Order. His desire was
strong to continue at his post, and do
battle against the liquor traffic, unit
his State should cease to groan undel
this blighting curse, but he was ready
to submit to the will of God, assured
that he would do all things well.
He was an humble follower Of hi
Redeemer, and trusted alone in his
righteousness for peaceful and a glo
rious Immortality. Bro. Cumming;
was about 80 years of age, had beer
married, but the wife Of his youth pre-
ceded him to the spirit land. Fol
many years he has been much en-
gagged in successfully advocating th'
cause of temperance, and this cause
could not lose a more ardent friend
He was an ordained minister of thu
Methodist Episcopal Church, but sew
eral years since left the pulpit, on ac
count of an attack of bronchitis, which
disqualified him for the ardous labor'
of his profession. An aged and font
mother has been left to mourn tht
loss of a dear son, but she sorrows
not as those who have no hope.
The brethren of the Order, although
partially prepared to hear this an
nouncement, will receive it with sac
hearts. Being the honored chief Q
our Order, it is fitting that our col
umns should be clad in mourning.

ct emperance Tales and Hearth Stone ReYe-
ries, by THuRLow w. BRowN, Editor Of
the CaSayG Chief.
We have read this work with great
interest, and heartily commend i TO
those who are looking for something
|" both entertaining and useful.'
The first sixty pages are occupied
with detail of the reasons why the
author is Temperance man."
This part Of the work, though thrown
into form of series of letters to
friend, is powerful and conclusive
argument against Iegalizing the traffic
in intoxicating liquors. 1t is written
with force and earnestness, and we
envy not the man who can rise from
the reading of it, and vote, speak or
think in favor of giving the sanction
of Iaw to this horrible traffic. We
hope the Letters " will be widely
read and thoroughly weighed, and
that every reader of them, who has
hitherto stood aloof from the war /"
in which the author is engaged, will
be constrained to be, like him, a,
Temperance man."
The next two hundred pages are
covered with thrilling tales, most Of
which are designed to illustrate the
baleful effects of intemperance. These
are beautifully and eloquently written,
and are scarcely excelled in the vivid.
ness and tenderness of their scenes,
by any thing of the kind we have ever
read. Let those in fashionable circles
who justify the use of wine at social
gatherings, read Edward Carlton, "
and be instructed.
The remaining hundred and odd
pages are consecrated to Hearth
Stone Reveries." Some of these vie
in beauty Of style and description
with the " Reveries" of that pleasant
/" Dreamer" "I'k Marvel" The
author evidently has heart, and he
takes no pains to conceal it from his
readers. He lets it "stick out" Just
as if it were no discredit to a man to
have such an organ about his body,
His deep Jflid piety-his almost
idolatrous affection for his mother as
exhibited in the Dedication, and in
the last of theS" Letters" gives him
passport to our hearts. We demand
no other credentials of character.
Come in, brother, and welcome.
Happy mother, in son SO devoted.
If "a dark night rested upon her
childhood's heart and home "-ii
"The morning of her life dawned de-
solate and sad," we think its evening
must be clear and serene; refreshing
her worn spirit with its balmy zephyrs,
and filling the cup of her consolation
with its sweet dew drops.

ably edited and generally is found on
the right side. Perhaps no journal
in Cincinnati, commands wider in.
Auence than the Times. We were
surprised and mortified that the Editor
should take a position hostile to the
temperance reform in itsmodern move
ments. Of all the silly, simple articles
we have ever read on this subject, we
without hesitation, award the highest
prize to the Times.
The Editor says, he "can prove by
the highest, medical authority that
debility, disease and death, result from
gomandising, and that tens of thou
sands yearly are laid in premature
grave from the effects of eating too
much as well as too little" We sup
pose any amount Of testimony could
be accumulated in proof of the posi-
ton; but it is admitted without proof.
What has this to do with the matter
in controversy? How does this bear
on the question whether Government
shall prohibit the manufacture and
traffic of intoxicating drinks?
We will be told that there is the
same ground for interfering in the one
case as in the other; but is it so ?
Eating is absolutely essential to sus-
tain life; drinking liquor is not only
unnecessary for persons in health, but
the " highest medical authority" pro
nounce it ithighly injurious. The traf-
fc in articles of food and clothing is
absolutely indispensable; the traffic
in Intoxicating beverages is just as alb
solutely and universally pernicious to
individuals, communities and States.
II the Times Editor will name some
article of diet in common use that
universally destroys health, endangers
life, perils the peace of society, makes
paupers and criminals, and inAicts
upon the State countless injuries, with
out resulting in single benefit, then
we will lift up both hands for the ap-
plication TO that article Of food of a
law of annihilation. There is a neces-
sity for -four, meat and vegetable
stores, and the demand for these arti-
cles is natural demand, and if the
supply is diminished the demand in
ereases; there is no necessity for q
grog-shop; the demand for liquor i:
unnatural, and as the supply dimin'
ishes the demand diminishes in the
same ratio. Food is natural stim
ulant, and essential to animal exist
ence; it may be used inordinately, and
disastrous consequences may result
Liquor is an unnatural stimulant, de-
structive to health and lile-alway'
in health unnecessary and usually re-
suits in private misery and public mis-
chief.

ject fairly, but grossly misrepresent'
the object Of temperance men. 1t il

Correspondence of the Richmond Times.

WASHINGTON, March 10.
The city is full OF runlors-every hour bring
ing something new. To-day it was currently
reported that John S. Barbour had been appoint
ed Marshal of the District, in place of We'll
lock, and that the appointment had given great
offence to the Democracy of the district. The
reason assigned for the appointment, is that John
S. Barbour, the elder wrote to General Pierce,
stating that the recommendation ofhim to Cab
met appointment was without his solicitation;
that he wanted nothing himself, but would be
glad of appointment for his son.
The rumor of the appointment probably had
its origin somewhat in this way. The Virgi-
mans say that good fat places should be given to
the State, and that if Mr.. Barbour has not
yet been appointed Marshal he should be-.

occasions, render it necessary that the office
should be filled by well-bred gentleman. of re-
