Maine LaW-Signs.

The manner in which the people
have sustained the Name Law in those
States where it has been enacted, and
the promptness and success in resist
ing all efforts to secure its repeal, have
driven the liquor-sellers to look else,
where for aid and comfort. The
almost miraculous changes wrought
in the condition of society where the
law has been enforced, are creating a
public opinion in other States in its
favor that cannot long be resisted.
Where, in this emergency, are the
liquor fraternity looking for shelter :?
We answer, to the judicial tribunals.
They hope that the Constitutions of
the States and of the Union may be
made a shield to protect them in their
unpopular and nefarious work. In
some of the States, the one-horse fllI-
buster courts have already decided the
Maine Law unconstitutional and in
Ohio, they have taken another step
and actually decided that any law re-
straining the traffic is violation of
that sacred instrument, the Constitu-
ton. The telegraph tells us very
briefly, that the Supreme Court of
Massachusetts have decided the anti
liquor statute of that State violation
of the organic law. We shall wait
for other advices before we indulge in
any comment on the decision. Some
of our brothers are really alarmed at
this report, and seem to fear that all
is up with us.
For ourself, we see nothing to alarm
the most timid and fearful temperance
man in the country. We expect that
the votaries of Bacchus will take every
possible advantage, and fight every
inch of ground up to the very last.

Letters and Miscellauies

We have been kindly permitted tc
peruse the proofsheets of a new work
with the above title, now in course oI
publication in this city, by LOUISE
ELLEwAY, a lady of the South.
The fair author devotes a lengthy
chapter in her interesting work, tc
Temperance and the Temperance Re-
formation, and treats the subject in an
original and mastery manner, regard
ing it as the great distinctive feature
of the age-the age of moral reform,
as contra-distinguished from past ages
of war and chivalry, in which mind
was subordinate to matter.
We shall take great pleasure, when
we have cleared from our desk the load
of o:her matter now pressing upon our
columns, to give an occasional extract
from Letters and Miscellanies.

A great State convention was re-

Great Convention IN New Bruns-
wick.


The friends Of temperance in the
British Provinces in North America,
are determined not to be behind their
brethren Of the United States, in ef-
fectually outlawing the liquor traffic.
A convention was held the last week
in October, in the city Of st. Johns,
N. b., in which all the counties were
fully represented but three. The best
spirit prevailed, and they were united
in sentiment in favor Of the Maine
Law, undRaied. The last Provincial
Parliament passed a law somewhat
similar to the law Of Maine, and the
friends Of temperance are determined
that it shall not be repealed, but
amended and made more stringent.
Having labored in that Province, we
know the character and standing and
. influence of temperance men there,
and we are confident that what they
resolve to do will be done. Unlike
/, our people, they do not 60 by flis
| and starts, toNay one thing and to-
! morrow another; but they deliberate
and determine, and then 60 steadily
forward, without shrinking, until the
end is attained. This Province, bor-
dering as it does on Maine, became,
after the passage of the law in that
State, favorite retreat for liquor
sellers along the border. They were
compelled, in self.defence, to pass a
law to drive the scoundrels back again.
; We honor their judgment and their
decision. There is a powerful SYM
} pathy among our brethren every
where. We know no geographical
boundaries, and we rejoice just as
heartily in triumph secured in a for
eign country, as if it was in our own.
There is no place on earth for a grog-
shop, and every one demolished, if it
was in Kamschatka or Hindostan, fills
us with profound delight. The peo-
pie of New Brunswick saw that their
Province was destined to become the
great drunkery of Maine. The little
town of st. Stephens, for example,
near the border, had forty liquor
stores established in a brief space Of
time, and drunkenness, roting, and
I disorder, were prevalent. They, O.
d course, regarded this influx of a low
r order of foreign population as unbear
d able. They could tolerate RUNAWAY
l. negroes from the States, but the.
4 were unwilling to become the asylum
or for any liquor-selers.

How it Works.

The people of the Western States,
having determined to have the Maine
Law, are deeply interested in knowing
all about its operations, where it is in
force. We intend to keep them posted
up, as far as lies in our power, and in
pursuance of this design, we give the
report of the Mayor of Providence,
Rhode Island. 1t being about tax
paying time, il will be a favorable
season f r our tax paying readers to
reflect little on the subject Of high
taxes and the reasons for them:

History Of the Temperance
Reformation.

We learn by the last New York
Tribune, that Fowler & Wells have
Just published a volume of 4O8 pages,
embracing history of our Reform
in this country. The work was pre-
pared by the Rev. Lebbus Armstrong,
one of the members of the first Tenn
perance Society formed in the United
States. We have long wished that
some competent individual would un-
dertake this task, and we had hoped
that John Marsh, the veteran secretary
of the American Temperance Union,
would enter upon it. We hope that
the work has been we'll and faithfully
done, and we shall peruse it with great
pleasure, as soon as it is within our
reach.

"southern Organ" +"


This is the title Of the new Temper
ance paper just issued at New Orleans,
by Bro. John w, Harman.
The first number which is before us
is well executed in its typography, and
its form is undoubtedly the most de-
sirable and convenient for such a Jour-
nal. The editorials of the S. Organ
are well written, and from the general
appearance of the paper, we think that
the friends in New Orleans and the
South should be proud of such an able
advocate ofthe cause, and they should
at once, go to aOork, and secure self
sustaining list to their paper. We
believe that those noble and devoted
friends of our cause, the Booths, Nc
Garitys and others, have been prin.
cipally instrumental in getting UP this
paper. 1t worthy offspring.
Terms of the S. Organ, $2 per ar
mum in advance, which is very reason
able for Southern paper.

MAYoR's OFFIcE

Providence, Nov. 4, 1884
To obllge large number Of citizens, who
have made inquiry touching these matters,
present the following statistics:
Committed to the watChhouse for drunken
ness, and small assaults growing out of
drunkenness, from July 10 to October 8,
1852, (the first three months under the
new liquor law,) 1T
Do, do. do, for corresponding months
of last year, $50
Do. do. do, for one month Immediately
preceding the operation of the new
law, 153
Committals to the county Jail from July
10 to Oct. 10, 1852, Jthe first three
months under the new liquor law
for State offences, II
For city offences, 22-99
Do. do. do, for the correspond
ing months of last year, for
State offences, llO
For city offences, 51-l6l
Do. do. do, for one month pre-
ceding the operation of the
new liquor-law, for State Of
fences, 40
For city offences, 32--72
From these statistics, it will be seen that
the comInittals to the watch.house and
county Jail, for the first three months under
the new liquOr-law, are one-third less than
during the corresponding months of last
year; and the average monthly committals
for these three months, are about 60 per
cent. less than for the month Immediately
preceding.
On the first day of this month, there were
but ia paupers in the Dexter Asylum, be-
ing the smallest number of inmates of this
season Of the year, since l645. The num-
Der of inmates on the lst Of November, last
year, was 146, and that is precisely the ay.
erage number, at that date, for the past six
years.
The number Of insane persons, supported
at the Butler Hospital, has also been con.
siderably reduced. l have not, at this mo-
ment, the papers at hand, from which to
give the exact statistics, but can safely
say, that the number is about one-ffth less.
(the present number being A, } and the cost
of their support the last quarter was three
hundred dollars less than the average for
each of the three preceding quarters. 1t is
true that several were transferred from the
Hospital to the Asylum, in the month Of
June last; but had not that transfer been
made, the present number at the Asylum
would have been so many less, and the
contrast betw this and former years, so
much the greater.

aster to this boat. A large number

the officers of the boat, on pre-.
vious trip, were drunk, and this was
probably the case at the time of this
fatal occurrence. The Legislature are

apply the Maine Law to steamboats,
