Brought-PdtS Inaugural Address.
Correspondence of the Intelligencur.l
CHARLEsToN, w. Va, Feb. 8, 1874.
The printing imbroglio has about
struck . focuas Il Ia nearing an end.
The Governor has brought his long prom.
ised suit against Mr.. Walker, and al oil q
sudden the Dictator began 10 "cut In the
eye and run down at the heel" as well as
to "Trip and rave" The writ was served
by the Sheriff on tho 9th inst The attor.
neys employed by His Excellency to as.
sist the Attorney General are Mai. Nicho.
las Fitzhugh, and Smith j. knight Of
Charleston, and William r. Hubbard, Of
your city. II they "let out" as they prob.
ably will do, they will make warm Aght
against the Dictator and his cONdred sub
jects, the Hon. "Jeems" Ferguson and
"ColMLW, H. Hagermsn, better known in
this locality as "Bunty." The Dictator
has master intellect" you are aware,
and his gentlemen assistants have each q
skiIletiull Of brains, hence we infer that II
will be braiuy war.
TIE DICTATOR AND HIS HEAD MAN SPLITS.
The worst slam that has struck the
Dictator thus far, Ia his "iall out" with
his business manager, Mr.. John W. Gen.
try. Your readers are aware that Mr..
Walker some time since pushed Mr,
Gentry forward as bidder for him In the
matter Of the Public Printing. and got
him into quarrel with the Governor,
much against his own will. For Mr.
Gentry Is recognized by every one who
knows him rs high toned gentleman.
Mr.. Walker also pushed him forward a
second time to bid for him (Walker) In
his (Gentry's) name, and as before, the
contract was awarded 10 him GENTRY
Tor the use and benefit OF Mr.. Walker.
MIR. Gentry acted in good faith as a ser.
want Of his employer, and went on and
made up the required bond upon his own
responsibility. After the contract was
awarded, MIR. Gentry required bond Of
$17,00100, which was the amount Of the
bond that he Gentry had given the State
for the faithful performance OF his duty as
Public Printer. Mr.. Walker promptly re.
fused TO give any bond, and expressed
considerable surprise over Mr.. Gentry
demand; said that he knew him well
enough to know that he (Walker) would
not wrong him Gentry, and therefore
thought 1t out OF place to require him 10
give bond, One word brought on an
other, until Mr.. Gentry told him that II
he could not procure guarantee from
MIR. Walker for the non.abuse Of his
(Gentry's) name, that he would keep the
printing in his own hands, and do the
work himself. Mr.. Walker refused To
give the bond, and Mr.. Gentry Is pre-
pairing to do the work himself, which
leaves Mr.. Walker out in the cold.
TIE GOVERNOR COMES TO THE SURFACE
The Governor has ordered all OF the
State officers 10 direct their printing &c
Mr.. Gentry, who Is by law the P. P, and
has also ordered Mr.. Walker to deliver tC
the Secretary OF State all of the printing
material in his possession that belongs e
the State; also, TO turn over all of the State
work, whether finished or unfinished, into
the hands OF MIR. Gentry. Mr.. Walker al
first refused TO dc, either, but soon found
that as he did not have the Legislature
here to back him, and no lava beds 10
shelter himself, agreed to capitulate, and
to-day sent out large amount OF book
paper which the State paid Tor during the
late war dance OF the Solons
1t Is knowingly stated that there is
much more to come, which will be forth.
coming II it takes the militia to bring II
out Of the late P. P's. Notifications. II
was this, more than any other one thing
that threw the Dictator in the ditch. II
Is said that when a man gets TO going
down hill that everybody stands ready to
kick him as he passes. Many OF his best
friends are turning against him. They
now see that there Is no good in him, and
are cutting loose on every hand. Letthe
good work so on.
THE SPLIT ON TIE DISBURSEMENT OF THE
CONTINGENT FUND.
The Auditor has set himself up in opposi.
ton to the Governor in relation to tho dis.
bursement of the Contingent Fund. The
Governor has made general order direct
ing no money to be paid out of the said
Fund except upon his order. The Audi
tor has thus far refused to pay any Of the
Governors orders upon this Fund until
the Supreme Court Of Appeals decides
the case, which is now before it, and
which the Auditor claims will be decided
against the Governor. (Wonder If the
Court has been interviewedO
