Mr.. Watkins, late an auditor in the
Treasury Department, has been arrested,
and is now in confinement at Washington,
charged with having traudulently obtained
money from the Treasury. He has been

is naturally excited by this unexpected
discovery. We cannot but hope that he
will be able to offer satisfactory expIana-
ton for any apparent malepractice.
