PUBLIC PRINTING.

The correspondent Of the Knoxville
Chronicle says that thirteen Democratic
newspapers under the name of Paul, White
& Co, have in "red ink asserted that the
Public Printers have charged about three
times as much for printing the Legislative
Journals as the law allowed Neither Mr..
Paul nor Mr.. White has any newspaper.
How many and what papers the GO" own
we cannot say. Mr.. White is not
printer; Mr.. Paul is; the "Co" may be-
Mr.. White and the GO" were not exam
ined by Messrs. Gibson and Baxter be-
fore the investigating committee. Mr..
Paul was. On that examination Mr.. Paul
stated that the House journal of lS69-7O
according to his measurement, contained
l,7l6,550 ems, without counting any alter
atlons Of copy, running over of forms, lost
time, or other incidentals properly charged
as composition and of which no one
can make a correct estimate except
the man who prints the book. In the
House Journal of 1S7O-T1 Mr.. Paul esti-
mated ,467,5G0 ems, making a difference
between his estimates and the accounts of
the Public Printers of only about one hun
dred and fifty dollars, without making to
the printers those allowances which every
printer testifies that they pay for and are
entitled to, and which, when added to Mr..
Paul's estimate, would increase the accounts
Of the Public Printers.
Relative to the ''open' work in the COM
position on the Journals, Mr. Paul states
he cannot say whether the printer is iusti-
fed or not. But the journals show that
such is the rule, and the evidence shows
that it is a bad rule for the public printers.
for this composition for which they only
get sixty-seven and half cents per thou
sand costs them over seventy cents. Hence
the more Of such compo sition, the worse
for the public printers.
Mr.. Paul further says:
desire to state that in estimating the
amount # composition in the several
books submitted to me do not claim entire
accuracy. Ihave measured as carefully and
as closely each book as the limited time at
my command would admit of, and believe
that my estimates will be found to repre-
sent very nearly the amount Of composition,
paper, presSwOrk actually contained in the
volumes. l would beg to state also, in
strict justice to the public printers, that
there are considerable expenses, attendant
upon the printing of a book in
the best regulated establishment,
aside from the wages paid TO employees,
which have been suggested to this commit
tee, and which enter into and make up
part of the cost of composition, and which
it is the custom of many printers to estimate
and count as composition. This is pecu-
harly the case in table and figure work and
work requiring great accuracy in execution,
such as reports of public officers aud insti-
tutions. and law reports. 1
Such is the substance of "the red ink"

A Contested Seat,
PITTSBURGH
Marriage by Proxy.

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 12.-Among the
marriage notices published in the Chronicle
yesterday afternoon is that of Fernandez de
Chimney and Miss Leila Addison, an ac-
complished young lady of this city. The
ceremony was performed by the Right Rev.
Bishop Dominer. An unusual occurrence
in connection with the affair is that the
bridegroom, who is the Spanish Charge de
Affairs in Rome, was represented by proxy.
The late Prime Minister of Spain a4ailed
himself of privilege granted under the law
OF the church, and appointed brother OF
the bride to represent him. The lady will
sail for Europe in a few days. Bishop
Dominer says this is the first ceremony of
the kind ever performed in this country.
although it is not uncommon in Europe.

GEORGIA.
Claims Against the State-MOre RadI-
cal Corruption.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Messrs. Henry
Clews q Co. have filed in the Governors
office at Atlanta, claims against the State
of Georgia for money advanced by them to
pay notes and drafts of Foster Blodgett to
the Superintendent Of the Western and At
lantic Railroad, and many of them having
the approval of Gov. Bullock, amounting to
S377, o22.45. 1t is estimated that Clews d
Co. have clqims amounting in the aggregate
to Sl,2OO,OOO. 1t is not probable that these
claims will be paid until they have been
thoroughly investigated by the Legislature
now in session. The Atlanta Sun claims
that the money has already been drawn
from the State treasury to pay these claims,
but that it was used for other purposes by
Bullock, BlOdgett, and Kimball, etc.

From the Columbia Herald.

The Joint Committee Of the Legislature,
appointed to investigate the chargeSSOf John
Baxter, of Knoxville, against MessrS. Jones,
Purvis 81 Co., State Printers, made their re-
port to both Houses on the first inst The
report is quite lengthy, and reviews every
charge, declaring them all unfounded and
unsustained ry the proof. Neither fraud,
Overcharges, corruption nor violations of the
law, has been committed nor attempted By
the Public Printers. The Committee say,
that upon a review Of the whole testimony,
it is impossible to conclude that Jones, Pur-
Wis & Co., have done or intended to do any
thing to defraud the State, but on the con
trary have been reasonable in their charges
and Just in their demands.

months to visit Europe, he would only have

issued as collaterals, to prevent them from

Akerman,s Idea of Justice.



Recently a committee from South Caro-
I lima, composed Of men of great weight.
called upon the eX-Rebel Gen. Alderman,
now Attorney General, presented a strong
] petition in favor of the pardon of two per-
! sons who had been wrongly convicted I'M
/ der the Congressional election law in the
case of Delarge and Bigamy-Bowen. The
( Attoney-General declined to 90 into the
merits of the case, as he said there were to
be large number of convictions of Demo
Gratis in New York, and he would not allow
any Republican to be pardOned now for fear
1t would be used as reason why the Dem
ocrats should be pardoned hereafter. The
committee urged that it was not Just to per
init men improperly convicted to suffer to
enable the President to stiffen up his own
back for another and different case, and the
pardon of Bowen being all ended. Aker-
man said he wanted it to be understood that
was his affair; that Bowen had Mr.. Grant to
promise il, and the President was not dis
posed to carry it out, and held it back for a
week, but finally allowed it to issue.
.. A Contested Seat.
There is going to be an animated contest
over Delarge's seat, which Bowenis contest

Gently assumed, there is very little doubt of
Delarge's maintaining his right to his seat.

or has been abandoned.

the ground that this was Territorial case,

United States Marshal. The higher court
affirmed the decision of the court
below. An appeal was taken by the coun-
