The Pebble Printing.

rIotu the CnarleSJOn courier.
The editor Of the Wheeling MtslH-
qeneer lies with unusual vigor in his
late article concerning the Printing
Committees report. He lies when he
charges Walker with sending kilograms
at any time concerning the printing
Investigations lies when he charges
Walker with corresponding with the
REGISTER upon the subject, over another
persons initials; lies when he says that
a majority Of the Printing Committee
or sny part thereof, were appointed at
Walkers suggestion; lies when he
SAYS that John Frew's overcharges were
found to Re but s4l2; lies in every
material statement OF his article. and
makes the Printing Report, which he
processes to print, lie like himsel', when
he suppresses that part Of it which i'm
plicates John Frew to the extent Of
'our thousand dollars, in overcharging
on binding alone
He pretends to copy the report which
the Courier long since gave in full to its
readers. and with the most Infamous
impuderce suggests that the present
printer has been trying to keen it from
the public For months he has been
uneasy for fear that the Printing Com
mission would take notice Of the points
concerning Frew's official conduct. to
which attention had been called. The
silence OF the Mtellqencer man on this
subject has been everywhere noticed
and everywhere understood. Now that
he learns that Governor Jacob las
dealt lightly with his partners pro-
ceedings, the editor Of the HteWg.ncer
becomes rate and vociferous. 1t is
complained that Mr.. Walker has as
sailed his predecessor When Mr.
Frew came to this city last winter and
became active in pushing the proae"u-
ton AGAINST the Public Printer. and
when the hteMgencer man took IN the
howl that was raised here, Mr. Walker
did briefly examine into the M'eNioen-
GERS commission az public prosecutor.
He showed that the Mte'Hqepcsr crew
had drawn nearly twenty-five thou
sand dollars from the State Treasury
illegally: that Frew tried to steal
the whole, and did steal part OF the
Journals of 1871, in order to nrint
them and be paid for them; that Frew
had drawn nav for work which, as
Public Printer, he had never done and
in general that HE course bad given
neither him nor his partners the RIGHT
