We are informed by the county Treasurer that the law imposing a penalty on Bankers for shaving with out license is defective, under the constitutional requirements, and that prosecuting these gentry would only be increasing the expenses of the county without a hope of getting the license. This being the case, and we are satisfied it is bo, the Treasurer is fully exhonerated from neglect of duty in failing to prosecute. This is another evidence of the result of hasty legislation the laws are defective, and the provisions inopera tive; and this same defect will extend to manv of the laws that will be passed this session. We are satisfied the present legislature have done nil they could to pass salutary laws, but want of time, and consequently, want of consideration, will make many of them defective. We ought, by all means, to have annual sessions, with their length unlimited. Hereafter free trade i will be the order, of the day, and there is nothing to prevent our being a broker-ridden people Corporation School. The Femalo Department of the High-School will be opened on Monday next.

John C. Walker and T. B. Holcombe, as editors, and C. W. Cottam as publisher. It is increased in size, with new type throughout, and we have no doubt will be increased in interest, as the new editors come with the reputation of able writers; Success to the Sentinel. jE3?The fire on Monday night was the grocery store of JLobt.

At the Temperance meeting on Friday, the 26th, the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That the passage of the present Prohibitory Liquor Law of the State of Indiana, based upon the entire prohibition of the sale of spirituous and intoxicating liquor, as a beverage, and the principle of search, seizure and destruction of liquor kept for illegal ' sale, furnishes an occasion for rejoicing and congratulation to every true hearted citizen. . t - - : Resolved, That it is the duty of every citizen to use his utmost endeavors to enforce this law by all the means and penalties provided . by the law. . - i - -. ' " - i .' Resolved, That in the adoption of this law a great moral victory has been achieved; that by this law the temperance party is now placed upon vantage-ground, which will give ten-fold efficiency to their efforts; and in every step of the struggle, and ill the glorious result we recognize the hand of Providence. - Resolved, That while the Temperance party of Indiana rests from the fiercer struggle of the contract, it is with armor on, and its line of sentinels unbroken that the advantage which numbers have attained, increased numbers will hold securely. - Resolved, That we highly approve the course the ladies of different parts of the State who have taken in hand, and have exercised with firmness the right of search, seizure, and destruction of intoxicating liquors, in anticipation of the adoption of this law; that in so doinothey have shown themselves to be sound and safe constitutional lawyers, inasmuch as they not only exercise the right of self-defence, which is guaranteed to all, but in a commendable public spirit, volunteered to abate a public nuisance, which is the duty of every person who has spirit and courage enough to undertake it.

: "Good Reading," for Old Skin-flint. It is, perhaps, a fact indisputable that the people of this republic are more a reading people than the people of any other government of the world. It is equally a fact that they are a people of more versatile habits than any other. These facts are the consequence of that unfettered and unbounded freedom of thought and action which is the birth-right of every citizen. The way is open to every citizen to engage in whatever business or profession he pleases; and as every man is part of the government, and individually as much an interested party in the administration of the government as any other, it follows that there is no interest of business unrepresented by talent, industry and energy, and no feature, condition or change of government, but passes under the scrutiny of the great majority of the people. "Newspapers, periodicals and books, treating upon all subjects, are spread before the people, almost without price. , Information all the world's knowledge is chewply presented. Prose and poetry, reason and song, truth and fiction, all that head and heart may produce aie furnished in profusion. , - - What do the people read, and why do they read? Some read newspapers. In towns and cities, perharps a respectable number do this; but in the country, but comparatively few ever see a paper, unless perhaps a borrowed one from some Sir Oracle of the neighborhood. There are a few farmers who being the grand political lights of their neighborhoods the satellites of county town luminaries take the party paper. Beyond these, how few are the tillers of the ground who take any paper or periodical at all. And yet we claim to be the most general reading people of the world, Is it true that we , are? When we overlook; the field and see how few of the many are readers of even the country newspapers, we say is it not strange does it not seem strange, if indeed we are the reading people of the earth? . But there are many of the people who do read the newspapers. In some families, politics, religion and literature, are all represented by some weekly or monthly newspaper or periodical. It would be better if in every family they were so represented. Then the family circle would be

blighter, happier and nobler. 'Do those who even read the newspapers read much else? If they do, what else and why? We are inclined to think that with our people, in this utilitarian age, the most reading that is done is done with a view to the money that lies at the end of the race. If the reading is about dollars, it is good reading; if not, poor. Don't you say so old Skin-flint? You like best to pore over the advertising columns of a newspaper; to watch the market; know the price of stocks and the like. No doubt, to your mind, such is "good reading." Well, the business matter of a newspaper is very "good reading" in Skin-flint's estimation, but it is not in ours the life and soul of the paperThere is other matter afloat in the atmosphere of typography, and which is found in the columns of all newspapers, far more elevating. A newspaper is valuable, and should be so held, far more for the moral sentiment embodied in it and breathing from its columns, than for anything else. Man has a moral as well as a mental part; feeling as well as perception. The moral, the fcelinn; part that which is capable of high pleasures and deeply impressive griefs is his noblest part. To make man better to improve him that is the part to touch. The dollar idea will never win the soul to a sigh for the pure harp-toned, heart-feeling of the spirit world. But who turns aside from the chronicles of stocks, to listen with delight to the Psalms of the old harper, of Israel as they fall, burning with eloquence, from the lips of the holy man of God who stands at the sacred desk? Such poetry will do for Sunday: won't it old Skin-flint? Don't like to hear it of week days, eigh? Don't you wish there was a dollar Heaven? a picayune Heaven? ', There are those who read for the pleasure of reading: who begin their immortal life on earth: who wander out along the paths of the poets, and dwell in the dream-land of spirituality; who venture into the far wild realms of imagination, that they may gather jewels of adornment for the graces of the immortal form. ' Old Skinflint, when you enter the portals of a Heavenly existence don't you think your nervous system will undergo a tremendous shock? - There is another realm of thought than that of the sordid mind. - There are other things to be read and thought about than those which minis ter to the mere animal life. ; There is a higher destiny for man than that which sinks him to the srroveler of earth. His character is of a higher standard than that which merely lives and dies, It is the education of the moral part that elevates it to its true dignity. The heart must be touched, and learned to sound higher, purer, grander tones. 'i - - ' - Old Skin-flint, turn over to the advertising column it suits your genius better. Loss and Gain. We copy, the following remarks from the New York Independent: It is an old saying that "where there is any greatloss there is always some small gain." We have just passed through commercial difficulties, long' protracted and unparalleled in the history of the country. " Less failures have occurred, it is true, than in 1846-7, owing probably to more extensive banking facilities, but more real capital has been sunk the past eighteen months, probably, than during the previous twentvfive years. In railroads alone, at least one hundred 'millions of dollars have been sacrificed. Now we believe all our financial difficulties may be traced directly or indirectly to the abuse of credit. We have borrowed money to do a legitimate business, and we have borrowed to speculate; we have borrowed to build fine houses; and we have borrowed to buy lands; we have borrowed to buy stocks, and we have borrowed to buy bonds.' We have borrowed of Peter to pay Paul; and when we could not pay Peter, we got "an extension. Ihus we went on with our Cob House structure untill "it all came tumbling , .. M , aown, lite many a wiser juvenile performance ol earlier days.

The gain to which we refer, notwithstanding our great losses, may be summed up in the following good lessons taught us not soon, we hope, to be forgotten: 1st. That any credit system not only ceases to be useful, but becomes positively injurious, when greatly extended. 2d. That there can be no real prosperity where there is a want of punctuality, and that any credit system which makes punctuality difficult should at once be abandoned or reformed. 3d. That no person should ask for or be. permitted credit, who cannot clearly demonstrate that, under ordinary circumstances, ho can promptly fulCl all his engagements. 4th. That no man is worthy of credit, whatever capiul he may possess, who has not an unspotted moral character. If he is as rich as Croesus, and yet is a drunkard, a debauchee a notoriously wicked man, he should be let alone severely. 5th. That all persons who have the ability, with a little sacrifice, to meet their payments promDtlv. even in hard times, and yet who avail

themselves of excuses such as tho "high rate of exchange," "difficult to make collections, "waitinr for mv produce to rise," etc., etc., are totally unworthy of credit.. , When a pinch comes, the m-omises of such men are not worth a rush 6th. That those who most frequently realize tho money on all their transactions 7th. That real soundness and prosperity does not consist in having large assetts, but having available assells, :ioie usseus, i. That capital diverted from a regular icss, to invest in any "outside operation," is Cth busiiu'all moonshine," and is usually fol-lmi-.-i! 1) nnxictv. disappointment, and mortifi- . j j , cation. ' 9th. That real happiness does not consist in the abundance of our earthly possessions, but in honestly appropriating what we have to ourselves and others, for the highest anu nooiest purposes 10th. That there cannot be real prosperity, without sound business principles, any more than there can bo real goodness of heart, without actual moral principle. . i . . . ' , - ; We are very much , mistaken if business men throughout the cuuntrv have, not well learned some of these lessons during the past two years. If not, any Providential teachings would be in vain, and worse than in vain. : Democratic Platform. The following resolutions were adopted by the late Democratic meeting, on the 22d February, as their platform. We place them on record, as the principles of one of the leading political parties, on the supposition that many of our readers have not seen them: , . . Resolved, That the first and highest duty of the Democratic party in Indiana is to take such means as will secure a thorough and perfect organization of the party, in such manner as will insure a perfect action of all who may desire the success of truly democratic principles, .. - i-, - Resolved, That the Democratic party are proud of their time honored principles, without change and without variation, and will ever cherish with fond regard the equal rights of citizens, tho constitutional privileges of every member of community, and the solemn obligations of every man to maintain the integrity of our National Union, the requirements of the Constitution, and the supremacy of the laws. . Resolved, That this Association recommend to the citizens of the State, a special organization of the Democracy of every county in the btate, which organization shall be based upon the National Democratic platform of 1852, involving no new issues, nor incorporating any new creed, which involves luc-al questions of jvcUoiihI issues. . Resolved, That one of the great and cardinal principles of Democracy is the inherent right of the people to govern themselves. .Resolved, That we congratulate the country on the present peaceful and prosperous condition of the State and nation under the auspices of our Democratic National and State administrations, and point with a high degree of pride and satisfaction to the influence of our present State ex ecutive in promoting the cardinal interests of the State. . ; , Resolved, That the elevation of our distinguished fellow citizen, the Hon. Jesse D. Bright, to the position of Vice President of the United States, is a compliment to the man and to the State of Indiana, which we receive with a high degree of pride and satisfaction. .. . ,; i Resolved, That this Association recognize as Democrats in good standing, all those who openly prefer and espouse the cardinal principles upon which our, party organization is based, and who are willing to act with us, upon the platform laid down bv the National Convention of 1855, . Resolved, That while we discard any new party tests, we believe it is right and proper, that the constituents of a representative and his fellow citizens should hold to strict accountability, that man, who, in the support of or opposition to measures, violate the letter or spirit of the National Democratic creed, and his professions and pledges. ' That we cannot countenance a departure from the true principles of Democracy in the legislation or administration of our National or State Governments, and that we will have no fellowship with the avowed or secret enemies of constitutional rights, and of the Union of the States. ' ' ' ' ' -" ': ' 'm; Resolved, That in our system of government, free speech and open discussion are essential, not only for the purpose of consultating the public mind, but also, to secure a due responsibility to' the people in regard to political action; and that all societies which deliberate and determine upon measures of public policy secretly, and apart from their fellow citizens, pursue a course which must become dangerous in a popular government,' and will destroy in the end that fraternal feeling and sense of common interest so necessary amonocitizens of the same State or confederacy! ' Resolved, That the establishment of" religious freedom in this country was one of the great objects of the constition of the United States, which provided no other qualification for office, in point C t '.I .1. , .... . " . oi iaun, man an oath to support that constitution, which prescribes "That' no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States," and declared that free exercise thereof. Any political combination thereof, which seeks in any manner to attain these ends, thus prohibited, violates the spirit, although it may evade the letter of. the constitution, as fully and completely as if the same were accomplished under the form of law,' Resolved, That the liberal principles embodied by Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence, and sanctioned by the Constitution, which make ours the land of liberty and the asylum of the oppressed of every nation, have ever been the cardinal principles in the Democratic faith, and every attempt to abridge the right of becoming citizens among us ought to be resisted with the same spirit which swept the alien and sedition laws from the statute books. jTSTls it generally known that the office of City Marshall is worth from 82,000 to $3,000 a year, and the Mayor's more?

Pacific Kailroad. We are under obligations

to the Hon. J. G. Davis, of Indiana, for a copy of the discussion of the Pacific Railroad bill, in the House, on the 17-19th of January. We find the following remarks by Mr. Davis, which fairly represent the people in this part of the State, interested in that road. " I stated in my speech at the last session of Congress, that no bill that might be presented to this House, which left the power to establish the eastern terminus of this road to the company that might undertake its construction, would meet my approbation. The bill, however, now presented, leaves to the company that undertakes to construct this road; the right to fix upon the point of terminus, both east and west. I he point of terminus of a great national road, intended to accommodate the trade, travel, business ana commerce of the whole country, is left, sir, to be decided by any irresponsible company that may undertake its construction. Beiug interested in the Central road, I desire to know, if I have to vote for this bill, the point, at least within six hundred miles from where this road shall start when it leaves the western borders of the States. By the provisions of this bill, it starts at some indefinite point upon the western borders of Iowa or Missouri, according to the. discretion of the company that may undertake to construct it a wide margin, sir, of six or seven hundred miles." The following amendment from Mr. Davis was adopted, and the bill passed the House, by ajrote of 109 to 97, but was afterwards recommitted and referred to a committee of 13. One grand trunk central railroad and telegraphic line from some point on the western boundary of the State of Missouri or. Iowa, between 36 and 433 of north lattitude, on the nearest and most eligible route to the city of San Francisco, on the Pacific ocean; and also two branch railroads and telegraphic lines, one diverving from the said central road to some eligible point east' of the Rocky mountainsbetween the 103d and 105th parallel of west longitude, and . running through the Territories of thu United States, in the direction of Memphis in the State of Tennessee; and one diverging from the said central road at the point last aforesaid, and running through the Territories of: the United States to the most eligible point on the western shore of Lake Superior. . -!--. u !. . . - ' -.
