From the Cumberland Daily Times.l
In its appropriate place will be found a
notice Of the death of Ms Mary l.. Wei

untimely demise We were called upon to
record only few short months since
Both passed away in the prime OF youth,
and lust when a life full Of honorable and
happy promise had b-gun TO dawn upon
them. DIR. Weisel moved from this, his
native place, to Wheeling, some years
since. Rapidly establishing himself IN
nractice. he soon became known as ply
stefan of great ability, while his exquisite
manners and genial disposition made him
\ rare favorite. On the 18th Of Septem-
Der. 1872, he married the present subject
of this notice, lady of unusual character
and accomplishments. Only a little more
than a year of happy married hiG had
passed when he was called away. In the
agony of her distress his stricken wife
pravcd that he might soon return for her,
and, strange enough, 1t occurred that she
died on Saturday night, precisely at the
same hour that had severed them. On
the 25th of last March she gave birth 70
daughter-Mary Henrietta-who still
lives. The life OF this young couple, to
those who knew its incidents, affords pc
ture of purity, nobility Of character, unal-
loved happiness and devotion seldom wit

that she would not tarry long, and prayed
him to come for her. She has gone on
her her journey, and, ii blameless lives are to
be considered. they are now in the land o

THE CLINTONIAN STYLE OF BUSINESS


If anything was wanting to show h0" hose
~ the financial affairs of the Stat. have been
managed by Clinton. the evidence to BE- gath
cred from his books complete the WORT Day
after day has the BULLETIN exposed hi, bare
faced actions, and open defiance OF i4w and
right and yet the catalogue is not ended
Il will u remembered that during tie ses-
sion Of the Kellogg Legislature for 1874 there
was Joint Committee appointed by both
branches of the General Assembly. with
James Il. Wan i Is Chairman the pant 5f
| the House, and AL b. Harris as Chairman on
the part OF the Senate, to examine into the
accounts of the Auditor of Public Accounts.
After employing two experts as clerks, and
going through the tedious routine Of examin-
ing the books, there was report drawn up by
the experts to be presented to the General
Assembly for its action.
The report never saw daylight for Mands
and Harris quietly Ike, II it in their possession
for fear the truth might soil the purity Of the
mma .ulate Auditor. In fact, it is generally
stated that, in all probability, Clinton would
have been invited to place very much like
Baton Rouge if this document had been
published. Numberless false entries, orasures
and alterations Of the books would then have
been brought to light, and how the littlr
game had been worked would have been
seen.
Clinton's own report, sworn to as correct,
however, is enough.
On page s. of this report of the value Of
property in the parish of West Feliciana, he
gives his grand total Il ,0Gi. 299. 1t shout | be
81. 81, 293 making difference of $500 900;
also on same page, giving the grand total for
the parish of Orleans, First Ward, he made,
III his report to TIE Kellogg Legislature. that
there is in the First Ward 81. 546 800 worth Of
taxable property, when it should foot up
50, 5iG 40, making difference Of 800.
On page 50 Of the same report he gives the
total value Of property in the Third District of
the parish of Orleans az being $50, 1876 542,
when it should be s5S 1876. 5l2, making a
difference OF two million three hundred and
forty thousand dollars.
Also on page s. of the same report, his
grand total OF the value Of property in the
Twelfth Ward, parish Of Orleans he foots up
So 735. 300, when il should have been 81
49, 300, making a difference OF one million
dollars
AS tue Auditor report is made up from his
books in the Office of the Auditor of Public
Accounts it will be seen that false entries have
been made time and time again, without even
An attempt at hiding them.
