NEW ORLEANS.
Resignation of State Auditor

The Charges against Him UnfOunded.
New ORLEANS, July Estate Auditor
Clinton has sent in his resignation 10 Gov.
kellogg, to take effect Dec. Is, 1870. He
saws: ! fix upon that date for the reason
that an earlier resignation would compel
YOU, under article 20 Of the Constitution, to
order a new election to fill the vacancy, and
this would involve large expense TO the
State, which / know you desire to avoid.
He states that he had long desired to re-
sign, but waited until his character had
been vindiCated, which had been done by
the report Of the experts aud the evidence
adduced at the recent triaS, though UnfOr~
tuuately he was not permitted TO testify,
aud consequently many facts in his favor,
known only to himself, remained undevel-
Oped. He assigns as one reason for retir-
ing, inability to get along harmOniOusly
with the State Treasurer.
Gov. kellogg in accepting the resigna-
tiun saws. Though in the discharge of nv
official duty / ordered an investigation to
be made into your accounts, and directed
the law officers of the State 20 prosecute
charges preferred against you, ] have never
for one moment believed you to have been
personally guilty Of dishonesty lin the ad-
ministratiOn Of your office. Before the eN-
perts made their report, l had examined in
70 many Of the charges urged against you,
and found Them 90 be gr9uudless. be
says subsequent conversation with the eX-
perts, of whom was the President Of The
Cotton Exchange, aud the testimony ad-
duced here, only confirmed him in that
opinion.

The funeral Of Mr.. Haney took place

where the deceased had passed his last
days. A large number of the citizens
in carriages proceeded there at an early
hour, to accompany tn. relatives in the
removal of the remains TO the Methodist
Church, where the services were held
The Mayor and Common Council at
tended in a body. The bells of all the
various churches were tolled, and places
of business generally closed in token of
regard for the good man gone. A vast
audience crowded the church to the ves-
tlbnle, and many stood outside, unable
to find room in the building. The
choirs combined from the several con-
gregaticns of the city, and rendered ap-
propriate music for the solemn occa-
sion. The two brothers Rev. A. H.
and H. W. Houghton who have been
identified with Mr.. Haney for years in
the business and other interests of the
place, assisted in the religious service.
Rev. Jas. W. Haney, a nephew of the
deceased, preached the sermon. His
tender illusions touched tender chords
of sympathy in every heart, and drew
tears from eyes unaccustomed to Weep
ing. An unusually large procession Of
carriages and wagons followed the
hearse to Oak Hill cemetery, where the
remains were deposited; every mark of
respect possible was paid to the honored
dead whose life had been so identified
with the interests of our city from its
first beginning and whose unblemished
character had SO long commanded the
esteem and confidence of the communi-
ty. His virtues are his best monument
and his memory the choice inheritance
Of his children who survive him.
Mr.. Haney was seventy-eight years
OF age at the time of his death, the
10Th ult., and his last illness was not
traced to any special disease, save the
decline of advancing years and decay
of bodily powers.

Dip the potato, just pefore planting,

Stop That Cough.

Many hesitate to try remedy for
disease, on account of the expense, con-
nected with the uncertainty Of its bene-
titing them; while at the same time,
had they confidence in that remedy, the
expense would be the least objection.
With this fact in view, we make the
following proposition: Any person suf-
fering with cold, cough or sore throat,
that will call at F. A.Pooles Drug
Sto- and purchase a bottle of HA1E's
COUCH CORDIAL, use one-half of it
and if they then conclude that it is do
ing them no good, they can return the
bottle and receive back their money.

reports show that in Missouri, Indi-

be harvested. In the first named
State much damage has been done
by grasshoppers, and much more is
anticipated. In several States the
fruit crop will be total failure, and
in all States the prospect is poor
