GOV. JACOB.
M Editor:
Since we read the order Of Governor
Jacob Of The 29th Of August, to the effect
tina, "if by construction Of law The Office Of
Public Printer still exists, and tho said
Henry S. Walker be considered the iucum-
beat thereof then the said Henry S Wal.
ker is hereby removed" We have travel
ed over nearly every portion Of NnSoo
county and couversed with the best aud
most honest men Of all parties, aud there
seems to be but one sentiment prevailing 10
regard to the difficulty between Governor
Jacob, Henry S. Walker and the State,
aud that is. that the time has come,-in'
deed was here eighteen months sgo-When
John J Jacob Governor Of West Virgin.
ia, aud grand Watchdog Of the Treasury
thereof, should either take such steps as
the facts might warrant and the law auth
orize" 10 this matter, or forever stop bis
cIamOr.
ThepeopIe Of Mason county, as else
where over the State, are tired of the eter.
nal whining about "serious overchargcs, v
and "cbarges unauthorized by law, by rea'
s,n Of which the State has suffered much
pecuOiary loss"
IfMr. Walker has been guilty Of these
charges as preferred by Gov Jacob why
the Governor has the power to bring the
"said Walker" before the proper tribunal
and have him punished. and the "pecuuia
~ loss" to the State made whole Let
Governor Jacob do this, even at this late
date, and Notwithstanding he approved
aud endorsed all these SERIOUS over char
ges" and "also charges unauthorized by
law" without which approval aud endorse
ment from the Governor would availcd
Mr. Walker nothing, yet with all this be-
fore the pablo, let Governor Jacob carry
this matter into the Courts, and il he can
sustain his charges have Mr.. Walker
punished and the State made whole, and
the people will be disposed to tolerate this
clanor yet awhile longer. But the truth
Of the matter is, no one in this county now
believes that Governor Jacob ever had the
least idea that be ccuId sustain the charg-
cs he has so often preferred against Mr..
Walker, or such was his peculiar affection
for him. after be failed to get through him
The support Of the Courier for his re'DOm-
nation for Governor, and afterwards the
bitter denunciation Of bis Excclency for
bis treuchery and infdelity to the Demo-
cratic party, thst he would gladly have
seized upon anything that promised to ez-
pose, punish or weaken Mr.. Walkers in.
Huence or position in political or social
life, if for no other purpose than to graft
fy bis own private, selfish ends.
The people Of Mason county feel now
that Gov Jacob having made use of the
"serious overcharges," &c, during bis
late Gubernatorial campaign, to affect and
break down the Democratic party and to
promote his own selfish interest with the
Republican party, and thea after succeed
ing, to turn truaut to the party that elect
ed him, and seek again to piu himself TO
the coat-tail Of the Democratic party, which
Indignantly spit 10 his face, now again
seeks to reinstate himself 10 the good gra.
ces of the Republican party by renewing
his attacks on Mr.. Walker and the Demo-
cratic party. This is too thin, " the bet
ter class of Republicans in this county
have as sublime contempt for Governor
Jacob as it is possible for the Democratic
party to have, and bis trcacbery aud inf
deity TO both parties, shows bin to be
fool and knave, Then, since Governor
Jacob has not the courage or mnnliness to
confront Mr. Walker 10 the Courts,-A
thing we never had the least idea he'd ever
dare do-one voice comes booming up "let
him then forever keen closed between his
