Cot, and we should be sorry to say anything lnju-
rious to his position as a gentleman, or an opera
manager. We have, however, been furnished by
the other side Of the question, DR.. Watson, with
his statement, which it seems but fair to give, in
order that justice may be served out 60 1aly to

Mr.. II. A. Colt made statement, that had acted
In what deem most dshonorabe ma to friend
This state ment has been circulated to the injury Of
my reputation but, until about three weeks was
unable to trace its originator. Immediately called
on MIR. c and represented to him that he had done
much injury that his ftiend had never been under
asceraiDed that his friend had been nded BY
. medical man Of my name
required formal apology from Mr.. c.; he did I'D.
dress me letter. but he neither apologised did he
express the slightest regret.
in conseauenc Of Mr.. CT refusal to afford me an
apology gave instructions to legal sentemsn to

demonstrating on his extraordinary conduct in not
making reparation when had satisfied him that ne
had mistaken me for another individual Of the same
name. and in this put an end to disagrsea-
Bile law suit To my reasonable request for expla
nation bs paid attenton, but abruptly left me- in
the heat Of the moment, declared him liar He
then attempted to strike me-the blow instantly
returned. ALEX. T. WATSON.
According to all accounts, DR.. Watson is a pro-
fessonal gentleman OF unquestionable res2ecta-
bllty. His statement seems fair and candid. It
must be annoying, indeed, for medical gentle
man, in his position, to be talked of around town,
with practices with which he had nothing to do,
and which attached to another physician Of the
same name Mr. Colt 1t seems, made mistake
OF one Dr. Watson for another DR.. Watson; but he
did not sufficiently recfy the bunder, IN the esti-
nation of the right DR.. Watson. This s'.ms
strange, TO come from gentleman OF so much re-
spectabity, and OF such position in the fashion
able world as Mr.. Cot is represented to be. 1t is
very easy to recfy the whole matter, and we trust
that delay will take place in adjusting II to the
satisfaction Of both gentlemen, who have found
themselves precipiated into disagreeable posi-
ton before the public, in the parquete of the Opcr.

THE POLITICAL DISCUSSION.
On Tuesday, the 18Th inst, Major Rollins
aud Judge King addressed the citizeas Of
Louisiana and vicinity, in canvass speeches,
touching most political topics of the gensr-
algoyernment, ss well as matters Of State
policy. Major Rollins spoke first for an
hour and q hall, and commenced BY telling
the people he had undertaken the canvass
Of the State. notwithstanding the fact that
older and more experienced men had shrunk
from the duty-that the wings he'd been SO
often and 30 signally defeated in Missouri,
that the shining lights in bis party had not
the spunk to enter upon the canvass. He
launched out then upon the sea Of national
politics, ~endeavorej to prove that the wings
of the present day were the same in princi-
rls Of the wings Of the early government.
He made an elaborate argument in favor Of
. National. Bank, quoted Washington and
Madison to sustain his argument, and en-
deavored to prove it was the measure Of the
Republicans, without telling the people who
were its true advocates and opponents -
That Hamilton urged and Jefferson opposed
It as a measure, while Washington signed it
with reluctance and doubt. After building
up his argument in favor Of the Bank, how
ever, he demolished it himself IS a child
would slap over a Clubhouse Of its " con-
struction, BY telling the people that under
all the circumstances he thought ii sOOtid be
bad policy to charter a Bank nosO. The
most Of them talk so before elections, but
when they get power, circumstance change.
He was opposed to the use of the Veto
Power, and thought It the only Federal fes-
ture in the U. s. Constitution new def
milton Of Federalism, truly. Every Presi-
dent we ever had, from Washington down,
sEesPs n. Van Burcn, used the veto power,
and We believe were always sustained BY
the people. From his arguments n would
infer he was in favor (of what he dared not
proclsim) Of amputating the Constitution
to strike on this federal feature.
On the subject Of the Tariff he was in ia
vor Of protection. He underworld to show
that all our former Presidents, down to
Jackson, were in favor Of that policy; to
prove which be talked long Of the fostering
tariff passed during Washington's admins
t~rstion. He did not tell the people, how
ever, that that tariff act ranged at about one
teath, and in soms instances one twentieth
rart as high ss the tariff Of '42, which he
advocated.
On the SUBJECTED Internal Improvements
BY the General Government, he was with
the wbig politicians Of the day. He eharg-|
ed the democrats with opposition to every
kind Of Improvement by the general gov
eminent, and lsbored to show an ~inconsis-
tsney in the resolutions upon that subject
passed by the last two National Democrat
ic Conventions. He charged falsely that
the resolution passed in 1874 by the Balti-
more Convention did not contain the word
"gene.ar' before stsystsm Of internal i'm
provements," in which he said II differed
