ONO STATE STocK,-Ths. Auditor Of
State publishes a letter in the State Journal
In explanation ofso long withholding from
the public the particulars 10 the late for.
geries on the above bllls. He says that
il was a 6xed belief tina. unbroken silence
IN that quarter was essential to the discov-
cry Of the authors Of these forgeries, and
that seeming inability on the part of the
Auditors Office to relieve itself from sas-
%Picion, wonld tend 10 produce less caution
and watchfulness among those with whom
the fraud had really originated, has hereto
fore induced him to abstain pertinaciously
from all commitments or explanation,
whether by letter or newspaper. He says
that motives for this silence no longer ex-
list, and that important arrests at Cincin-
natl has already been made, and that he is
now at liberty to notice, without further de-
lay, some of the many erroneous statements
that has gained currency and states officially
as follows, which could not have been pub
lished sooner Gor fear of alarming the real
perpetrators of the fraud and then notify
them that suspicion must henceforth rest
upon them:
First. That the forged notes on the Ohio
State Stock Banks, or any part thereof,
were not stolen from the Auditors Office;
Second. That they were not lost from the
Auditors Offices;
Third. That they were never in the Au-
ditors Office and, i.
Fourth. That they do not bear the gen.
uine signature of the Register.
AS early as April last. the undersigned
became aware that a small amount Of forg-
ed notes on two of the Ohio State Stock
Banks had been put in circulation. An
immediate scrutiny was made into the con-
dition Of the bank accounts, in charge of
the Register, and the result Of the i%nyesti-
cation precluded all possibility that the
forged notes had ever been in the hands of
the Register or within the walls of the
A uditor's office. The mode of determining
these facts was as conclusive as 1t was
simple. On the first day of May, 1853, the
notes on hand were carefully counted, and
their amount duly noted. Next the re-
ceipts Of the various banks for registered
notes delivered to them by the Audltor,
were carefully examined and their aggre.
gate amount as certained. These two items
were then added together. The next steI
was to procure a full and careful statement
from the Engraver, exhibiting the amouni
of notes which had been sent to the Audi
tor up to the first of May. With these data
the following result was obtained:

incite in the human breast an exalted and
holy desire to raise up the children of len,
and bid them tread the paths of virtue and
honor. Law being OF Divine origin, must
exert Divine influence. A sincere stu
