A PAYMAsTER's DEFICIENCY.-Benjam
r. Camp, jr., was appointed an acting pay
master in the navy, in 1861. On the settle
meFt of his accounts in 1864, il was alleged
that there was deficiency of SI,6S5.iS, for
which he was responsible to the government.
Suit was instituted against his official bond
TO recover this amount. This case came on
for trial yesterday, in the United States dis
trict court, Judge BlatchfOrd, Assistant
United States District Attorney Smith ap-
ptarng for the government, and eX-DiStrict
Attorney Garvin and Mr. Rufus +. Andrews
for Mr.. Camp. Counsel for Mr.. Camp asked
for "a reference To take the testimony owing
TO an afilictiOn affecting his speech. Dhe ex-
animation OF the witness, however, was be-
gun. The defence was that Camp had been
robbed of Il 600 from no fault of his own, and
that he had been obliged to pay for provisions
in gold, beng allowed by the government
only the face amount thus paid in currency.
Mr.. Camp took the witness stand and began
to testify to these facts, but it took him so
long to say anything, that the progress was
slow, and the further hearing was adjourned
TO this morning. Mr.. Camp testified that the
