Wonderful Progress of Temper
ance Legislation.

DR.. Crosby's Calm View," was
but the precursor of an overwhelm-
ing storm of prohibition sentiment
Indeed, the good mans most unrea-
sonable and pernicious sentiments
touching the great question of the
time were thrust osuddenly intothc
public ear, as to shock and startle
the public conscience, causing re-
action of active and indignant ar
gument, that spread almost instan-
taneously from lakes to gulf, and
from ocean to ocean, until now the
great public heart, and conscience,
especially throughout the South,
boils, bubbles and overfows in tor:
rents of enthusiasm, diffusing every
whore the spirit of abstinence for
the citizen, and prohibition for the
State.
In different localities, different
shades of sentiment mark the char
acter of Temperance legislation, all
tending in the direction of com
plete prohibition. License is in
itself prohibition, to certain de-
gree; and just in proportion as Ii
cense laws are enforced, do they be-
come prohibition laws; and through
whatever intermediate states, be-
tween the free traffic in liquor of
former days, and the complete sup
preston of the ruinous business,
of the days soon to come, the great
body of good people, with all the
innocent women and children, may
be doomed to struggle and suffer,
they are fully persuaded that the
victory and the glorious fruits of
the victory will bevastly more than
commensurate with all sacrifice of
trial and suffering, while every
step in advance, and every position
gained in the struggle against the
legalized crime of intemperance,
bring to the friends of humanity

EVANSVILLE, O., May 25.-Much
connection among saloon-keepers
exists in this city owing to the ac-
ton of the Grand Jury yesterday,
when 143 indictments were presen-
ted against them for illegal sale of
liquor. Judge Ball, at the Februa-
ry term Of Court, gave them a light
punishment, but plainly gave them
to understand that for future
offenses he would impose such pun
ishmentas would end in the COM
plete suppression of illegal sales.
Many of the saloons quit business

Ohio Temperance Conventions.

The Peoples Temperance Reform
Convention, in session at Column

grand affair in every way grand in
its representative character, in the
conduct of its business, and especi-
ally grand in its practical work
and far-reaching results. DR., c. II.
Payne, whom our people heard
with so much pleasure in a tenn
perance address here some time
since, was president of the conven-
ton, and in most eloquent adj
dress before the body, held up
a derelict Legislature in terrible
arraignment, and urged an outrag-
ed people who had been denied
Local Option, now to pass by all
half way measures, and demand
prohibition.
Among the Inscriptions on the
banners across the stage were
First Beer, then politics." Bre,oers
Congress. First Temperance, after
ward Party" Citizens Of Ohio. "For
God, Home and Native Land.
Among the series of resolutions
adopted, was the following;
Resolued, That no member of the
late Legislature who. is known to
have aided either directly or indi
rectly, in the defeat of the local OPP
ton bill, receive the vote of tenn
perance men for. reelection.
The Ohio Christian Temperance
Union met IN the same city the
day following the adjournment Of

There is to be great temperance

July, and Neal Dow will be there,
1t is fact that the liquor
dealers themselves are doing most

hibition.
The Kansas people say that the
statements made by whisky drum

turned away from that State on ac-
count of prohibition, is falsehood
of large dimensions.
FLOOD OF INDICTMENTS That
was by no means water-haul made
by the Fayette county Grand Jury
the other day, but rather "mirac-
ulous draught" to make among the
responsible parties who deal out whis-

able Senators had given their
voices in favor of the bill, it would
have passed the upper house and
might have become the law.
Among the twenty-five Senators
who voted against it there were
more than three who had given
promises to their constituents that
they would labor and vote to put
down incompetence and the evils.

were more than three whose con

WATTERsoN, under the head of
penny Wisdom at Washington,
goes for the Democratic Senators
for preventing the complete organi-
cation of the Senate, and thus
delaying business that should be
attended to. He gives his reasons
for the stand be has taken, from
which We make the following ex-
tracts:
It is the Constitutional right of
the ma ority to organize the Senate.
This right the Democrats conceded,
and with it they surrendered all
that was worth contending for, when
they gave up the committees. The
wrangle over the Offices is lowering.
If it could be won, it would not be
worth the struggle, No one is
justified in engaging in fight
where he is bound to lose,
no matter who whips. x x x
Behind all this imprudent palaver
and misunderstanding a real
issue stands waiting. This is not
merely fight between the New York
Senators and the Administrations
feud between Mr.. Conkling and Mr..
Blaine-a question Of who shall be
and who shall not be collector of
the port of New York. It is this
Shall the President of the United
States exercise his Constitutional
prerogative and duty Of Federal APP
pointments to Office, or shall the
Constitution be set aside in favor OF
corrupt ring Of Senators by a pro-
cess of COLLISION and usurpation
It is the interest of the public service
that this question be settled.
Instead of pursuing this obviou:
policy, the Democrats of the Senate
have been doing all they could t.
keep the Republicans together. W.
have opposed this. It is penny wise
and pound foolish, but characteristic
of the crossroads leadership tn
: Democratic party has, and has had
in Congress; missing great oppor
: tunities to organize ideas; Pudding
and petifogging with public ques
tons; trusting nothing to mora
forces, and, thus allowing the shar]
r practice of the Republicans to over
8 reach them in a vain endeavor t.
, meet it with sharp practice, an en-
counter wherein the Republican
have all the advantages.
t This all, We believe.

THURSDAY, APRIL 7 1881.

THE credit of the State has been
saved, and Tennesseean8 abroad no
longer need be ashamed to own their
nativity. 1t is true the contest was
long and bitter, and for days the
honor of a great State trembled In
the hands of a few individuals, but
Mr.. Smith, of Fentress county, nobly
came to her aid, and by his vote
placed the name of the State upon
the roll of honor, as one Southern
State not willing to repudiate her
indebtedness. Yet when we take
retrospective look, and see how near
this proud old State came to making
shipwreck of her honor, and that by
a single vote in the Senate, we
tremble. The voters Of the State
gave unmistakable evidence Of their
desire to see the State debt question
settled, and the people at the ballot
box said plainly, We do not want to
repudlate. The debt-payers of the
legislature on joint ballot were very
largely ia the majority, and yet one
vote in the senate came near reyers~
ing the verdict of the people and
placing a stigma on the fair name OF
the State, from the effects of which
the present generation would never
have recovered. We are glad the
matter has been settled and put GU
of the politics Of Tennessee, and VI
can now hope for men of capital and
enterprise to seek investments in
our State, and that our natural re-
sources will be developed, causing 3;
new era of prosperity such as w
have never witnessed heretofore. T.

nobly fought for the salvation of ouI

THE Courier-Journal has a
lengthy article on the politics of
the day and the tendency of lib
eral views coming to the front in
the South, and gives the Demo-
cratic party some wholesome advice,
which, however, it will scarcely
heed. 1t closes the article with the
following sensible remarks:
In a word, the country cares more
for measures than for men, and will
follow those only who appeal to it's
confidence through its intelligence.
On the old sectional lines, the South
stood, as it must always stand, at a
fatal disadvantage, the result of the
dispute Ringing on the law of force
against force. Hence we are indif-
ferent to considerations of solid
arity. Let parties divide in the
South as much as they like; we
shall side with those who
are right and against those who
are wrong. That side alone can be
right which stands by the public
credit, the public morality, the public
development and progress; which
proposes tangible methods for max
ing the best of the gifts God has
given US; which sets itself against
ignorance and prejudice and sloth
and intolerance and lawlessness.
We would rather be out of power
forever than lower the flag of an
enlightened truth and honor to the
jobbery OF the present race of cross
road leaders who infest both the
Democratic and Republican parties.
But our notion is that venality
and demagogism cannot last always,
and, in spite of many Discourage
ments, we live in the sunshine of a
blessed hope.
