Mr. GrceIcy's Daughtcrs-Tho New
York Trib11ne,s Statement OF Their

From tie Neso York Tribune, Dec. 6.
With prompt and grateful, and, under the
circumstances, we may say chiyalrous gene1-
osity of which ITO can hardly trust ourselves to
speak it has been proposed by liberal money
subscription to show to the daughters OF Mr.
Greeley the public affection and respect accord
ed to the memory Of their lamonted father
This thoughtful proposition has been made in
that journal has rendered sum nominally large,
but understood to be considerably less than Mr.
Bennett really desires to give. We have
also received at this Office letters offering
assistance great or comparatively small, accord
ing to the means Of the writer's. Yesterday fur
ther subscriptions we're announced and this
fact obiges us to say that the Misses Greeley
are unwilling under any circumstances, that the
plan Of subscription for their personal benefit
should be adhered to. In the great sorrow which
has fallen upon them 80 heavily, they are Of
course in no position to Investigate their affairs
It will be work Of time to determine the con-
dition Of Mr. Greeleys estate; but however it
may have been impaired By Gberality perhaps
who proved unworthy of it, or by an over
weening confidence in mems promises,
there is. it is probable, enough remaining to
quiet all these generous approximations OF the
less, We must be allowed to say that the Misses
Greeley are in the hands OF immediate friends
who will care for them with assiduous fidelity
and unremitting tenderness, and who will recog-
nize and repay the debt Of grateful honor due
can never be adequately discharged. A sympa-
thizing public may confde in our assurance that
the young ladies' are now the wards Of those
who will be glad, as well as able, to care for
their every want and comfort, and to see to it
that the death of their father shall make no
change in their methods Of life and their re-
Eou1ces.
We announce the determination Of these Ia
dies at their own urgent request. While they
arc anxious not to be regarded as wanting IN q

to take the kindly will for the kindly deed With
