New Yong, Juno 18.—Peterson & Co., of Philadelphis, sustained no injury through their business with Horton, His intercourso with them waa porfectly logitimate. Horton's prin cipal oporation was in ralsing bonds. Ho hoy ‘beon living in Lancaster, Pa., for tho last six or oight years, excopting tho brief periods he has rosided in Now York. /Tho “oporation that ro- sulted in tho discovery of his systomatlo wicked- ness was mode with the firm of Reed & NMe- Gromo, of that city. On tho 20th of May lnst that firm govo him 200 shares of FPonn- eylvania Rarosd -stock in_ oxchange for 200 sharos of Roading stock. It waa undoratsod by tho Lancaster bankers, that Horton stood in gxcellent favor with Now York financiors, 8o the stook was givon him without hesitation. On ‘Tuesday, Horton Eropoaud to anothor Lincaster firm tho eame exchange, That firm, discovering gomo snepicious marks on it, rofused to transact business with him. Their suspiclons wero aroused, and examination proved that tho atock bad beon ralsed from onp share to 100 shares. It did not tako long for this roport to got on tho street, and an examination of the stook hold by Reed, McGrame & Co., dis- closod the faok that it too hind boon ralsod from onoe ghare to 100 shares. Meantimo Horton had loft Lancastor, but subsequent proceedings jus- tify the boliof that ho did not do it from au; fear that his misdoods had boen discovero: Roed & McGrame made tho discoyory on Wodnosdoy, but Horton was thon finishing up his businoss in Philadelphia. ~ Telograms wero at once sent to DPhiladelphia from Lan- caster, but the Dbird again flown, 88 yot unconsolous of his danger. On Thuredsy he appeared in Osgood & Co.’s office, Broad stroot, with his lottor of crodits, but, by this time, his operations wore the proporiy ~of Philadelphia busingss-men. This accounts for the dispatch sent by Petorson & Co. Tho most romarkable thing happened while Horton was in Osgodti's offico yostorday mommq waiting for s tolegraphic transfor from Philadelphis. Ho sat on the sofa in tho.oflice for ovor an_hour, and noarly opposite him was Dotoctive Elder. Thoy conversed togothor in the ploasantest manner.

Horton continued to incroaso his orodit account by depositing sevoral chooks, until Wodnesdsy, whon ho stited that ho wished to go iuto certaln atock spoou- Intiona in Now York, and Petormmon & Oo. granted him lettora of orodit on two houses horo, authorizing Horton to draw urun thom for 30,000, Yesterday'Iorion mado hia appoarance in the offico of Osgood & Co., in Broad streot, and prosantod a lottor of crodit for 37,000, remarking that ho ehould probably want to draw ail of tho monoy and_porlinps moro, 68 ho wishod to go into tho atreot and speculate.

The trausfor was promptly made, and, ovurythhngi being satisfactory, 26,780 in gold was boughl and pald over to Horton, who il meanwhile remainod in the outor oflico, and then vanished, Latora dispatoh was rocolved from Potorson & Co., cautioning thom against snylnu any monoy to Iorton, as the chocks and ratta cashiod for him in Phifadolplua had boon diucovored to bo forgerios, 1t was too lalo, Horton's ewindling oporations, it turns out, in- clude 200 shiaros of Roading Iailrond stock, re- coived for a cortificato of 200 shares of Pennsyl- vania Iatirond stook, from Reod & McGrama, of Lanoastor, Ia., whlol o Lisd Talucd to that amount from ono shars, Horton has resided during tho paat six yoars in Lancaster, occasion~ llIIv visiting this oli{‘. t I8 understood that tho plon to bo sot up in tho Walworth cano will bo solf dofonso—that tho young man was goadod on to murdor by his fathor's thronts, Tho ploa of insnnity will not Do roliod on In this cnso.
