SAYS HE Is NOT THE MAN.

Thomas Lanihan, according to the statement
yesterday in Supreme Court, Chambers, before
Judge Donohue, OF his counsel, Mr.. william F.
Howe, is the victim OF suspicious circumstances.
A few evenings since he was waiting-so ran the
story-at the corner OF Fifth avenue and Fifty
fourth street TO meet young lady to whom he
was engaged to be married-a young lady VINO was
sitting in court by the side OF Lanihan being
pointed out as this young lady. While thus walt
ing he heard man cry out, and running in the
direction OF the cries met policeman. who asked
hlm what was the matter. to which he replied,
''Don't you hear the cres2n and still ran on. He
ran as far as Forty-egnth street. when he was ar
rested and to his surprise charged with having as
saulted with piece OF lead pipe Mr.. Horace Gal
pin, OF No. White street. 1t was stated further
that two gentlemen who witnessed the as
sault, and one OF whom gave chase after
the real assaiant stood ready TO prove that Lani-
han had nothing to do with the assault. Upon tnls
state OF facts application was made to reduce his
bail from $4,000 to $2,000 the police magistrate
committing HIM having fixed the bail at the for
mer sum, and which, 1t was stated. was more than
he could procure. Mr. Dana OF the District
Attorneys ONCE, stated that, inasmuch as the DO
lice magistrate had acted upon afda Wits submit
ted to MIN, the Court should not interfere. Judge
Donohue thought that the matter should be left
with the police magistrate, and until some more
positive proof was submitted showing, as alleged,
the arrest OF the wrong man, he considered 1t his
duty 10 deny the application.

EX-ASSISTANT TREASURER BUT
TERRIFIED.

In the suit OF the United States against Daniel
Butterfeld. ex-Assistant Treasurer or the United
States, and his sure lies, G. X. Garrison, W. g.
Fargo, j. McB Davidson and s. G. Wheeler, Judge
Blatchford yesterday rendered a decision In favor
OF the attendants. The following is a condensed
statement from the Judges decision On the 23d
OF June 1862 Daniel Butterheld was appointed
Assistant Treasurer OF the United States ana
Treasurer OF the Assay once in this city. Un the
Goth OF June, 1869, he and his sureties executed
bond to the United States reciting his appoint
ment, and conditioned that the bond should be
void If Butterfed has truly and faithfully exc
cuted and discharged and shall truly and faith
duties OF SAID once, according to the laws OF
the United StaJes," &c. The plaintln brings suit
on the bond, and assign In the declaration,
as breach OF the conultion OF the bond, tnat
the defendant, Butterheld, did not truly and faith
fully continue to execute and discharge all the du
ties OF said office according to the laws OF the
United states. and did not transfer all the moneys
In his possession as Assistant Treasurer. General
Butrerfeld entered upon his duties in June, 1869,
and resigned The following November on the
evening OF the 2lst oil August, 1862 deficit was
discovered in the currency funds TO the amount OF
OF 500 in gold was found Ii the cash room.
Neither amount has ever been recovered Neither
plalnun nor defendant has ever been able to dis
cover the cause OF the disappearance OF the money
SO lost, and every effort was put forward to ascer-
tam the manner OF the loss. me same never
he IN any way responsible for Its loss through neg
lect or actual wrong, except as he might be held
IN law. Butterfield, during his term OF ONCE,
sold number or revenue stamps, for the accom-
mediation OF the public, to the amount of
$I,669,637 so. On this sale he was entitled by law
to five per cent, which amounted to $S3,4Sl 81.
In the settlement OF this account with the govern
ment he was allowed the sum OF $73 645 "a, and
afterwards put IN claim for the deficit $9,s36 %.
Such claim was rejected The foregoing facts are
not in dispute. The defendants deny the liabiiity
OF Butterfeld for the money lost and, il liable for
1t on the bond. CAIN to have allowed IN ex tin
punishment OF 1t SO much Of the $s,S3e % as Is sui
ncient for that purpose. While there cannot be
any doubt, upon principle and authority. that the
defendants are liable on their bond Tor the money
lost, think 1t cannot be recovered in this suit
because the defendant Butterfeld is entitled to
the allowance claimed. Judge BlafchfOrd con-
ciudes by reciting at considerable length the law
and reasons for this decision.
