fcrred it shortly afterwards 10 Col. Fletcher.
 1Tr. Walker, in reply, charged that he was stock holder, and read letter from Col. Drennen, as eYi- dcnce, wlichsmply stated thattherewa no evidence on the books of the Bank of the transfer. strange letter by the way Why did not Col. Drannen atate all the facts in his possession tbe subject instead of stating simply that the books did not show tle transfer3
 Gov. Yell came forthwith to Little Rock ah1 published circular. explaining the whole matter So fully that any fair opponent would have said no more about it. But drowning men win eatch at etr2ws. Men will sometimes resort to shadows 10 support bad cause. The GAZETTE of last week contains a circular from Mr Walker, with remarks by the ed itor, still urging and charging that Governor Yell IS sroeKuoLDnR. \ man who builds his hope of success upon fsehood. cannot succeed with the intelligent voters of hrIanaas The facts are t8esa. When the books of the RaaI Estate Bank were opened. Gov. YslsHbacribad for 5l shares. Shortly afterwards, not having borrowed any money upon them, he, following exactly tae requirements q the Baah Charter sold and duly made deed of cen yeyance of his stock 10 Col. Fletcher. The decd bears 3afa February 2s5f, IS40 tqas acknowledged by Gov. ell, on the same day before Justice of the peaee as ih charter required aad directly attef wards handed or sent to Col. DreHaen, President of the Bank at Van Baraa.
 Gov. Yeil had now done ali he could do, and aIl inc law required hin to o, in order to complete the transfer Of lis stock Itwas the duty of Gel. Bren- nen to lay tba transfer before tie Board. If they rejected i, 1t was his duty to inform Gov. Yeil of the fact. If they confirmed the transfer, was the duty of the proper officer to make record of their action on the subject Gov. Yell was not informed at any tima afterwards that his transfer had been re- jected he therefore properly considered that il had been confirmed and there can be no doubt that it was eon6rncd otherwise he would have been in formed of tac fact
 In proof tine coTrectness of ths conclusion early in the year l8l3, THREF YEARS after Gov. YclI had set his transfer 10 the Bank, he applied to Col Drennen for ectJe1ce that he lad made the transfer and was NOT THEN I STOCKHOLDER. Did Col. Df5nnen then inform him that bis transfer had been rejected and that he was still holder of stock Not at all But as shown by his letter, hearing date Feb al, 1st3, he furnished him with . copy Of lis transfer, knowing that Governor Nell wanted to use it as evidence that ha was not then soc!hoIier.
 The conclusion Of the whole matter must be, that Gov Yell made legal transfer ofhis stock, that it was legafig confirmed by the Bank, aad that tbe off cers Of e Banl, have neglected to make the proper record Of the transaction.
 No reasonable man will contend that Gov. Yellis responsible for the failure of tba Bank officers to do tbeir duty He wifi not be held responsible by the coarts eflaw, by candid men, nor by any one, save such unfair and unm2alY opponents as Mir. Walker and his wiling and pfiaat advocate, tae edior of the GAZETTE.

The Clerk would be answer able for his noafeasanee in office, but the law weRd regard tae deed a recorded from the line it was d. posiie9 for record.
 Gov. Yell completed his transfer of his stock ae- cordng to law, and deposited 1t with the Bank. f my thing remains to be done, ii arises from the na- geet of the Banl, officers. and he is not responsible His defence is complste-HE IS NOT 4 STOCK HOLDER IN THE REAL ESTATE 5 INK, and his opponent and the GAZETTE know it.
