 THE STATE BANK OF ARKANSAS.
 In his inaugural address Nov. 6, ls40. Gov. Yell gave his views fully and freely. "The banks of the country are stretching forth their countless arms to grasp all that may be worth preserving, and too often we find Legislative interposition either tacitly ap- proving or openly justifying their acts of usurpation; and still we submit to this most odious and unjust oppression without seem ing to comprehend the hcartless tyranny with which we are bur dened. Are we ready to see the price of all our staple products raised and depressed at the will and caprice of these corporations, with their paper appreciated from twenty to fifty per cent. discount, to suit the convenience of stock holders and debtors, and the ava rice of brokers and spectators! Rightly to remedy the existing evils, as far as prudence and sound policy will dictate, should be your first object Let the strong arm of lawful authority interpose to teach brokers and stock -jobbers salutary lesson, who would pawn the industry and property of the country. Let no political or per sonal consideration swerve you from scrutinizing and fearless discharge of your duty, to enforce all proper means to bring back your Appreciated paper to sound specie standard, or lay the axe at the root of the evil. Your firm ness and decision in restoring them within their chartered linn its may confer some of the bless ings contemplated by their fcun- ders, and by sacred preservation of this rule, public confidence may again be restored, the price of property become more steady, and the laboring classes receive q just compensation as thc reward of

A Judges Sentence.

At Morris, Grundy county, Illi nois, three saloon keepers, one woman and two men, were indict- eel and convicted of selling liquors to minors. Hon. J. N. Reading, the presiding judge, In pronounce ing the sentence of the court, used the following language:
 "The jury having found you guilty of selling intoxicating liq1 uors to q minor, it remains for the court to pronounce the sentence of the law. The penalty of this ofcnse, fixed by the legislature, indicates that it considered the crime of serious character. By the law you may sell to men and women if they will buy. You have given your bond and paid your license to sell to them and no one has a right to molest you in your legal business. No mat ter what the consequence may be, no matter what psverty and des- titution are produced by selling, according to law; you have paid pour money for this privilege and you are licensed to pursue your calling. No matter what families are distracted and rendered mis- erable, no matter what wives are treated with violence, what children starve or mourn over the degredation ofa parent; your bus mess is legalized, and no one may interfere with you in it. No mat ter what mother may agonize over the loss of a son, or sister blush for the shame of brother; you
