TEMPERANCE EVERYWHERE.
Says the New York “Observer,” there is a positive temperance revival; or what is better, an advance all along the line toward such legislation as will effectually restrain the sale, and thus the consumption of intoxicating drinks. From Alabama we have good tidings. A letter from Tuscaloosa says that that State is now witnessing a most remarkable social and political movement, Petitions signed by almost every class of citizens, without regard to politics, race, or color, or previous condition, have gone up to the Legislature, asking for the prohibition or regulation of the liquor traffic, The people are thoroughly aroused, and unless there is a counter-revolution in public opinion before the next session of the General Assembly, a prohibition law as stringent as that of Maine will be enacted for Alabama. A Local Option Bill, prepared by the State Temperance Alliance of Delaware, has passed the House of Representatives by a vote of eleven to eignt. It is believed that the Bill will also pass the Senate.
