"He had no further intercourse with Spirits, but lived upon the Total Abstinence Principle ever afterwards; "

I believe it is a play on word Spirit. Drunkenness was a concern at the time, and some Christians were in favor of abstinence from alcohol-- they drank no alcohol. "Spirits" can mean both something like a ghost or hard alcohol like whiskey or rum.

The spirits did not visit him anymore, so in a tongue in cheek fashion he could be said to be abstaining from them.

The Total Abstinence Principle in "A Christmas Carol" refers to Scrooge's vow to abstain from making poor decisions, mistreating others, and leading a selfish life after his transformative experience with the three spirits. It represents his commitment to changing his ways and becoming a kinder, more compassionate person.
