Kingstanv, Mayor, Huntington remained iu enstody, as wa bave said, for several days. His bail, we understand, was fixed at $5,000, anc be could nos procure sureties even in that smal! amount. A letter in our possession says that the District Attorney—the late Mr. N. B Blunt—refused to reduce the bail, and at len; only consented to do 60 atthe urgent eptreaties of Mrs. Huntington, who repre- sented her then celicate state of beaith, ihe noed she stood in of her busbanc’s presence, and the riek toher life i she was deprived thereof. These arguments had their eifect on the kind hearted Hiant. The bail was re- ‘6 forthcoming, he was discnarged iy, indictment was found agsinst bim the Fe)ruary by the Grand Jury,of which Mr. Elias 1., was foreman. For some cause or other, which we have been unable to ascertain, he was never brought to trial under it. Neither the indictment nor complaint bas any endorsement on it explanatory of the non-prosecution. No roile preeget was entered. The accused has been a resident of this and yet, as we baye said, no eflort to bdrin, bim to trial. Perhaps, Tistl, the present District Aattorney, was at that time the assistant of Mr. Blunt, can exclaio this apparent mystery. A respect for the laws under which we live, and a peceseity for their lair and impartial execution, require an explana- tion to be made. We are far from imputing any weeng motives op the part of the officers of the law, and we upderstend that tt is always most difficult to procure a conviction under a prosecution for false pretences: but ‘stil', a8 the records of the court gire no cluc to this appa rept lapse of justice, we think tt due to the pabhe that a suilicient excuse be put forward, Was a »¢cond compro- mise made with the principal witness, and justice thereby defeated? If so, let us koow, ‘We have referred to this case, and published the lead- ing documents in it, not for the purpose of prejudic the interest of the financier now in the Tombs, but showing that mapy of the financiers of Wall stroot ought to be, if they had their deverts, in the samo delightful retreat, llere was the man publicly arrested, examined, imprisoned and indicted, only four ehort years 0, for one of those ingenious bank swindies which, more than any other offence, ought to bave branded him forever in the {inancial circles of the city; and yet, without an attempt at disguise, without cbapging a letter of bis mame, and with ali bis police marks fresh upon him. he is taken toto association by there note brok! bili shaving brokers of Wall street, petted and fostered, tapped om the back, encouraged and trusted to an unlimited extent, util the time comes when in the course of things the bubble must barst, and the eyes of the community be opened to the aoings of the dep of thieves that nestle under the shadow of Trinity church.

Halsey, the de‘endant the assignee under Huntington's aati 10, 1856. ‘The plaintif! secks to aet aside the frat assign. ment as fraudulent and void. and aeks for an injunction to restrain the defendant from going on and taking pesression of Huntington’s property. The compiaint ip this case charges that the first assignment was made while Huptipeton was in duress, &, and ‘e void for that reason, aud also for its terms tn giving a preference to Beiden & Co., and Harbeck & Co., and making no provision forthe surplus after paying their ciaims. The answers of the defendant deny under oath any and every charge of Huntington being under restraint, or duress, whem the assignment was made, and siate thatbe made the assignment to Belden & Co and Harbeck & Co voluntarily, and that the second as signment to the plaintiff was mado in collusion with Huntington, and is fraudulent and yoid. The decision was reserved {t iy not unlikely, therefore, that in the squabble be tween the assignees this salo may be tponed. In connection with this subject we deem tt but right to y that we have received a communication stating that the allegation a¢ to Belden & Co., or Harbeck & Co, bav- ipg received $24,000 in gold from Huntington, or any sum of money, or security, or inducement to become bis bail. fs not true. They state that they became bis bail solely and only from their entire beilef at that time of is innocence, and surrendered him the moment they bad any reason to suppose him guilty.

T. ‘d testified that ihe signitures to the two checks were forgeries of the pames ot the'r Urras, and that they believed the checks had been abstracted from their books. The most important witnesses were Mr. J. 8. Teneyck, .Jr., teller of the Bank of Albany, and Mr. John Templeton, teller of the Bank of the Capitol. It will be recotlected that the check on the Bank of Al- bany was only endorred as to its genuineness at that bank apd that it was casbed at the |‘ank of the Capitol. mr. Teneyek, to whom the check was (rst presented, tes Uied that the perron who appeared at the counter wore beavy whiekers and movustacbe and tbat his eye was but thas he poticed no single — oe Or person whereby to distinguikh him.

Mr. Templeton, the gentleman who cashed ibe check st the tisrk of the Capitol, testified that he bad no distinct recollection of paying i check. He thought be remembored the pro- file Of a stranger who was tp the bank that day, but be could not testify positively with regard to bis appearance.

The countenance of tho prisoner was familiar to bim, he thought, but he could not #+y when, where, or if be bad ever seen bim before last Friday, wden be came down in custody of the officers. Mr. Hiram Perry testiied that be was in the bank at tLe time the check was cashed: he observed particularly ‘he strapger who received the money: Le wore whiskers on the cbeeks and ander the chin, but no moustache, and the general appearance of the prisonor accorded tore closely with bis recollection of wat stranger than any one he bad elnce seen; but he would not swear that be was the man.
