THE CONGRESSIONAL PRINTER.-As we gave
yesterday the purport of charges which, accord
ing to report, would be made before the Con-
gressional Printing Committee against the man
agement of the Government Printing Office, We
feel it due to Mr.. Clapp to present what his
friends assert are the real facts in the case, to
the following effect:
Certain charges were made some time since
in an anonymous and irresponsible publication,
not one Of which, they say, can be sustained by
fact. These and other charges may have been
made by private communication to members of
Congress and correspondents Of the press since,
but as yet no charges have been made public
through the action Of Congress- and none have
beer referred to the Committee on Printing, or
to any other committee, for investigation.
The Congressional Printer not only does not
fear any charges that may be made Of misman-
agement and misappr0priation Of the funds
Of the Government entrusted to his official care
and appropriation, but he invokes the most
thorough and searching investigation of his
oficial conduct during the few months he has
been In Office, by any tribunal, either legislative
or judicial. Every legitimate source OF in
formation may beresorted to, and every means
Of reaching the truth may be adopted, and he
will welcome the result Of the effort to impeach
the integrity, economy, or efficiency of his ad-
ministration. He has been inspired by q single
purpose in his ofiicial action-to increase the
use fulness Of the Government Printing Ofice,
and to elevate the character OF its work. In
this he trusts that he has been successful; while
he Is not unmindful Of the fact that in accom-
plishing this end he has awakened the hostility
Of those who would have had It otherwise if
they could have controlled the result.
Endeavors have been made from the outset of
the administration Of the present Congressional
Printer, by those who were In no degree entitled
to control It's policy, to direct the Internal man
agement Of the Government Printing Once,
and his resistance Of this interference has chal>
lenged the hostility of o large class, who are
now busily engaged In an effort to dscredit
and ruin an administration that they could not
shape in accordance with their own behests.
All that the Congressional Printer asks, now
that open war has been declared against him, IL
Q clear field and fair fight, and he viii be en-
abled to show not only the animus but the impo-
tence OF his assailants. He asks no immunitfes,
but courts truth and justice in the brosdest and
fullest sense. He does insist, however, that he
shall not be judged hastily, under malicious and
sroundle0 allegations, before the truth shall be
reached and the justice Of the case be fully o.
tabliahsd through incontrovertible proofA

IHE GEORGIA Observation-Disclosures
were received here yesterday from General
Terry, commanding in Georgia, from which it
appears that he believes some members of the
Legislature who have taken the oath prescribed
by the recent act of Congress committed perjury
in so doing, and he desires to know what he can
or may do in the premises. The President,
General Sherman, and Secretary Belknap had
consultation on the matter, the result Of
winch General Terry was directed, where the
cases were OF fiagrant character, to deal Wig
orously In his own discretion with the persons so
offending. 1t is believed that under this discre-
tienary order General Terry will unseat at least
two OF three members of the Legislature, and
perhaps bring them to Punishment.
