American swimmer in the race with

if he could have gone twenty minutes
longer he would have won the race, as
johnson was mile and a hslf behind

stats,AudiGor clinton Resigned.

NEW ORLEANS, July 23.-State-Au-
ditOr Clinton has sent in his resignation
to Governor Kellogg, to take effect De-
cember Is, 1875. He says: Il fix upon
that date for the ress0n that an earlier
resignation would compel you, under
article seventy of the constitution, to
order 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 de-
sired to resign, but vailed until his char
acter had been vindicated, which had
been done by the report OF the experts
and the evidence sdduced at the recent
trials, though, unfortunately, he was not
permitted TO testify, and consequently
many facts in his favor, known only to
himself, remained undeYeloped. He
assigns as ore reason for retiring, ina
bility to get along harmOniously with
the State treasurer. Governor Kellogg
IN accepting the resignation says:
HThough in the discharge OF my official
duty l ordered an investigation to be
made into your accounts, and directed
the Law officers OF the State to prosecute
the charges preferred against you, |
have never for one moment believed
you to have been personally guilty OF
dishonesty in the administration of your
Office. Before the experts had made
their report, had eXaminedinto many
Of the charges urged on against you and
found them to be groundless." He says
that subsequent conversation with
the experts, one OF whom was the pres
ident OF the cotton exchange, and the
testimony adduced here, also confirmed
him in that opinion.

DiHtFseG-A Fishers Removal
only a question Of Time.

WAsBINGTON, July 22.-The removal
Of District Attorney Fisher is merely a
matter OF time. Ii will take place on
Tie return Of his designated successor,
Ex-Governor Wells. Fisher sought an
interview with the President last night,
but was unsuccessful in obtaining it.
The Star If this evening says among
the numerous charges against Fisher is
one that be conducted the negotiations
on behalf Of the government in the
transfer OF property necessary for the
extension OF the capitol grounds with
lOOseness almost ineXcussble. 1t is
charged by the property-hOlders that
Fisher, although United States official
suG acting for the government as pur-
chaser, made them pay him for his serv-
ices In making a deed, in prices ranging
from twenty 10 five hundred dollars
each. 1t now appears that all the lots
on the enlarged grounds have besn as
sessed in the names Of previous Owners,
and are charged to them severally; in
other words, no notice is taken Of the
governments occupancy Of this hereto
fore private property. This could only
have arisen from 8 failure to record the
deeds or shows glazing deficiencies and
errors in the district plst-bOOk; in short
the government has no official record Of
being owner OF its own estate.
