Justice TO the Attorney General requires
that we should correct any impression which
might be created by the article in yesterdays

taken all possible steps to bring to a judicial
determination the charges which have been
repeatedly made during the past few months
against the State Printer The Attorney Cen
eral has taken every possible step to protect
the interests Of the State. He directed the
Treasurer to refuse payment of the forty-two
Thousand dollars OF warrants held by the
State Printer. The latter then applied to
Judge Monroe for mandamus upon the
Treasurer. On the trial of this mandamus
the State will be represented by the Attorney
General and the State Printer by his counsel.
All the facts will be brought out In the testi-
mony, and the truth or falslty of the
charges iudlcially determined and forever set
at rest This Is all the Attorney General can
possibly do and 1t is all the State Printer can
do, unless he is expected to come forward,
acknowledge that he has robbed the State,
