Especial Dispatch TO the Wheeling Resister.l
CHARLESTON, November 27.
Governor Jacobs printing committee made
report to-day that has caused some souirm~
ing in several quarters. The committee re-
ports that Frew and McDermot, former pub
lie printers, have over charged the State for
work done several hundred dollars each. Only
a portion OF their accounts were examined by
the committee.
Mr.. Walker, the present Public Printer ia
reported to have overcharged about nine
thousand dollars 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 Dollars. These
accounts and those whose corrections was Ger.
tlhed by Governor Jacob himself make up the
bulk of the alleged overcharges. The cons
lnIttee 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 Pubs
lie Printer and his legal counsel while thew
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.

OF binding. The FIRST witness examined in
this respect showed that Mr.. Frew had over,
charged the State about eleven hundred dol.
lars for binding tie code alone, and that
branch of tho investigation was, therefore.
speedily abandoned.
