CHARLESTON.
Report Of Printing Investigation
Six of One and Half a Dozen Of the
Other.
Frew and Walker Both Censured'

spe cial Dispatch to the Register.
CHARLESTON, November q.
Governor Jacobs printing committee
made a report to-day that has caused
some squirming in several quarters
The committee reports that Frew aud
McDermot, former public printers, have
over charged the State for work done
several hundred dollars each. Only a
portion OF their accounts were exam
ined by the committee.
Mr.. Walker, the present Public
Printer, is reported to have overcharged
about nine thousand dollars on fifty
thousand dollars worth OF work. The
committee reopened the charges on
which Mr.. Walker was acquitted last
winter and found against him on them
to the extent of Four Thousand DOL
lars. These accounts and thosewhose
correctness was certified by Governor
Jacob himself make up the bulk OF the
alleged overcharges. The committee
do not report the testimony in the case,
but give merely their own estimates.
The Governor does not seem to have
much confidence in the accuracy Of the
report, as he has given to Mr.. Walker
the printing Of this years department
reports, which are very large.
The committee having excluded the
Public Printer and his legal counsel
while they were in session, it is now re-
ported that Mr.. Walker will ask
the House of Delegates to allow him
to introduce evidence sustaining his
official acts, which it is believed he
can readily do.
The committee make no report on
the item of binding. The first witness
examined in this respect showed that
Mr.. Frew had overcbarged the State
about eleven hundred dollars for bind.
ing the code alone, and that branch Of
the investigation was, therefore, speed

discussed. The meeting recorded its
approval Of the report and resolved to
maintain the demands therein con-
tanned. This action is viewed as tend
ing TO increase the gravity of the situa

F11Es.-A curious calculation has been made. lately by sarant, well known in Paris for hls peculiar antipa- to the fly. He collected 5000 flies in room measuring two cubic metres. On the floor he spread 6 pounded loaf of sugar. At the end of four days he went to investigate the result of his experi- ment. There remained teaspoonful of sugar. This statistician, therefore, cal culates that, sugar being at the rate of thirteen cents sa pound, fly costs the country twenty cents from its birth to it's demise, that is, if fed on loaf sugar.
