Special Dispatch to the IntolligeHrer.
CHARLESTON, W. Va, March II.
The Printing Fraud Investigation was
taken from the table to-dayip the Houst
OF Delegates, and all debate cut off by
sustaining the call for the previous ques'
tion. Three resolutions had been prepar'
ed by Mr.. Walker, the Printer, and giver
to DIR. Thomson, Of Putnam, TO presen
and ask their adoption as q whole. Thil
was refused, and they were taken VI
Oer1atim and disposed Of as follows:
"ReWIued, That in the judgment Of The
House, the charges against the Public
Printer have not, nor has any ono oi
them, been sustained"
This was rejected by vote Of twenty
seven to twenty-five.
"RSSOlUed, That this House deems It the
duty OF any executive officer who may be
in possession OF facts showing illegal dis
bursemeuts Tor public printing, to obtain
proper restitution in tho courts"
This was adopted by vote Of thirty
five to seventeen.
"ReSolred, That tho further cOnsilera-
lion OF the various reports upon public
printing be indefinitely postponed"
This was adopted by a vote Of thirty
ono TO twenty-five.
A vote was then taken upon the two
resolutions as amended, resulting in their
adoption by a vote Of thirty totwenty-
three.
The rejection OF the first resolution
pronounced Walker guilty, and the adop-
tion Ct the last two showed that the House
had not the manhood TO prosecute him.
All parties are dissatisfied. The white
wash Is too thin.
Senator Grantham, of Jefferson, intro
duced a resolution in the Senate which
was unanimously adopted, asking an in
vestigation Of the accounts OF Mr.. Walker
for printing done during the present ses.
sion. He made a long speech, in which
he charged wholesale fraud upon the
present Public Printer for all work done
during the last antpresent sessions. Mr..
Walker Is unhappy now charges arc to
be preferred against him in the House.
