The PuBLIcArioE o. rhr LAws.-The
SciOto Gazette of yeslcrday, has the follow
ing:
"Ws eammence to-day the publication Of
the new School Law. The contract for
Publishing the laws for this county having
been swarted by our county Off, ers under
the law, 10 other publishers, we are not,
therefore, publishing 'by authority" and
without pay, for The Information Of our read
ess.n
The Wings Of The Union have yet an m
portant lesson to learn in politics. Ross
county Is Wing all over. and yet the Publi-
cation of the laws is not given to the only
Wing paper in the county. In Fairfield
county, the job is given TO the two Locofoco
papers, without regard 10 circulation, and in
direct violation Of the opinions of two at
least Of the county officers who have the
matter in charge. Their own popularity
seems to be OF more regard than the ~sanctity
Of their o~ficinloaths and their candid con-
v%ictiOns. We should except from this de-
nunciation. the Probate Judge. We think
he desired to do what was right; but was
oyerruled by the Auditor and Prosecuting
Attorney. The latter, too, mry have done
what he supposed was right, Us we know
nothing OF his opinions. We arc sorry that
re cannot sny the same of the County Au-
ditor. A year since he was a candinnte for

Telegraph clique, he gave that paper the pub.

pended upon such a course, aud thrice he
spoke to US personally upon the subject and
once. sent a mutual friend. Through thi,
source, he promised to the Gazette the publ
cation of last winters laws. When the tint
came, he bucked out by saying that his con.
tract with the Telegraph was so wordcd thaI
he could not fulfil his promise. We let the
matter rest, saying but very little about it
and when the law vas changed and the price
reduced, We supposed he would take tht
earliest opportunity to convince US that ht
was a man Of truth and veracity. He hal
done 1t by renewing the contract with tn,
Telegraph and thus convincing US that hi
promise is worthless.
Personally, we have little interest in tn
matter and Of course care but little about /,
We have probably said more than we woul
have said, had the Auditor based his actio
upon the simple ground that he wished t
Patronize his own party papers. But he ha
pursued a different course, and il is right tina
the friends Of the Telegraph should learn no,
their votes were purchased.
The laws, In each county, should be pub
lished in a Wing and Locofoco paper 70
