re- We see that Mr.. Clarke has intro.
dueed into our Legislature a bill, amending
tho 10Th chapter of the Revised Code. con-
corning county courts granting licenses for
the sale of spurious liquors. And Mr..
Cox, of Perquimans, a bill to amend the

concerning the sale Of spirituous liquors to
Iree coIored persons, except in certain cases.
We have not seen either of those bills and
40 not know their provisions, but presume
they are for making the laws more stringent
than at present. The Temperance men of
the State have had nothing to do with agi-
tating the question of legislation on this
subject at this session-consequently, move,
ments OF this kind are freed from the preiu-
dlees which hitherto have urlounded them.
But the evil has grown, and will grow. until
the Legislature viii be compelled. for the
common good, to move in the matter. Then
the reforms made will be permanent and
effective. Let the representatives of the
people look to it..
We see also that in Congress steps are be-
ing taken for more efectually preventing
the introduction of spirituous liquors into
The territories. The ball is moving onward

and forty were present, and quite a spirited
meeting was the result. Two gentlemen and

Ra~ A revival in the Temperance cause
In North Carolina. at the present time, is as
essential to the safety and ~wellbeing of So
ciety as is the thunder-cloud when the in
tense heats of summer have filled the atmos-
phere with disease and death. The MAS
matte poison Of alcohol has infused itself in
to every ramifcation Of society, and it re-
quires the health-imparting agency of tenn
perance to arrest its destructive march. The
poor inebriate stretches his arms for help
the wall of stricken women and neglected
children cries for help humanity pleads,
and God and His word command Will not
every good citizen aid in the noble work?
