OUR DAYTON LETTER.

A Golden Weddimg-A Politico- moral
Earthquake comimg-ComDatt Or
ganizatson, the Watch,oord-Prohs-
bition IN West Virginia &c. DC.
ED FREEMAN A very pleasant
social event occurred in this city
Jan. 2lst. John Kumler Esq. and
wife, celebrated their golden we'd
ding. There were present one
hundaed guests, among them all
their living children, ten in num-
Der. There are seven sons and
three daughters All of the sons
are lawyers and active politicians,
The Kumler family is numerous
and somewhat remarkable. The
Father OF John Kumler was Bish-
OPP in the U. B, Church. One Of
his brothers was also Bishop in
the same church.
An excellent dinner was served
by city caterer to which the one
hundred guests sat down at the
same time. 1t was nearly o'clock
when your correspondent adjourn
ed" and returned to office duty.
Eating for two hours is quite
feat for lean man, but it can be
done.
There is much interest felt as to
what the present Legislature of
this state will do with the question
of the liquor traffic.
There is much less hair splitting
about "sumptuary legislation" and
personal liberty" than six months
ago. Tie awful fact remains that
while men are theorizing, hundreds
are going to the devil.
The sermons of Sam Jones" and
"Sam Small' are being read by
many people and are making pro-
found impression. Cincinnati pa
papers are unwittingly, it may be,
doing a great deal of Temperance
missionary work.
Every thing indicates com bined
political moral earthquake in the
near future that will astonish many
a sleeper in church and state.
Many men ale beginning to
doubt seriously whether heaven
and hell can be brought SO near to-
gether, that man can be a Christ
ian and in any aoay favor the liquor
traffic 1t is becoming more and
more apparent that the first VIC
tories of straight Prohibition, as to
the future, will be in the South.
The absence of very large cities as
well as the absence of a large for
ejgn element in its population, are
the reasons for this thought.
Compact organization must be
the watchword henceforth.
The American Conscience is a.
tremendous thing when aroused,
and it is not sleeping as soundly as
it did. While there is much ex-
cellent temperance sentiment in.
West Virginia, yet there will be-
more unfair opposition to pure Pro-
hibition there than in any other
state in the Union.
| could name the leaders Of this
opposition. My canvass OF The
State gave me an important insight ,
of this subject.
| have many pointers.
