Dr. Watkins was practi cally 4th Auditor, 2d Comptroller and Sej cretary of the Navyl 'His word was law, and his request -a command. Upon his request " oral or written," unchecked by ibe Comptroller or any other officer, requisi tions were issued for thousands, which he put into his own pocket. This irregular improper and dangerous practice, Mr. Southard now says is the practice of the Department? 1 If he had said that he was induced by confidence in Ur.. waiains, oy his talents, and his usefulness to the aami nistralion, to deviate at ; rus request irons the regular and safe; mode of doing busi ness, he would have deserved more mem Tor bis candor, and not less for his truth. MR. LIVINGSTON. It is not a little remarkable that the pa pers which have evinced so much sympathy for Dr. Watkins, and especially , the Wat kins Journal of Jhis city, should venture to speak. about defaulters, much more that they snouia assume tue task oi puouc censors. Discomfiture in thr assault ; upon Major Lewis seems to have taught them no dis cretion, and Mr, Livingston, has now been marked out. Jt happen, however, that he also is beyond the reach of their malicious invective, and his case will make ho better screen for their. Jrierid ,Dr. Watkins than that of Major Lewis. Mr. Livingston doe not owe the government .one cent, Ol this fact the Journal writers were prooably lu(ly a ware, but as their ill-humour has no spice : of patriotism in it, it was no doubt increased by the knowledge that Mr. Livingston had paid in full all that he ever owed to the go vernment. We owe an apology to Mr. Livingston for introducing his name, evert for the purpose of vindication, against the assaults of such a paper ; but it is due to our readers that they should be informed of the. truth, and it is for their satisfaction alone that we now allude to the subject. I It is generally known, that Mr. Livings ton bad long , suffered in silence under the odium of being a public defaulter, but it was also known to an extensive circle of friends, that his debt; was incurred under peculiar circumstances, , over which be had no con trol, and though legally he was not morally responsible ' for the default. When this event happened Mr. Livingston was in the meridian of life. The debt amuunted jto upwards of Q09V.tbmiras no hope ; of recovering the money - from , the actual peculator. ; He soon after went to New Orleans, and with a perseverance and well-, directed skin that does him infinite credit, he labored to repair his fortune tweniy-tive yeais, and succeeded, notwithstanding ma- ; ' - ''' . :' I .1 it ny untowara .circumstances, anu tue sacri fice of the properly " he left behind, ih ac quiring the means 6ff satisfying' the ; whole of the claim, which, including interest, was upwards if pri hundred t thousand dollars It is believed hy those best acquainted with: the property -of -Mr. Livingston; acquired since his misfottuhe. sold by the U.
