GTThe Revernsd y editor OF the Bel
mont Chronicle is at his old Tricks again
Last week he published portion Of the
Laws of Ohio and had appended thereto a
forged certificate Of the Auditor, certifying
that they are correct copies as per lies in
his office.-Independen, Republican.
Our only reply to this, is that the proper
officers will decide whether the proof Of the
laws as we publish them 10 read, and pro.
perly certified 10. The false charges o
Captain JSmes F. Churlesw orth are no,
