a card from Storrs and Manning,

1871, defending their course and
that of their counsel Williams,
The Tribune states that with the
exception of six shares of the Tri.
bune stock there is scarcely dol
lar of available money, or an acre Of
productive real estate, and that IF
the executors can make it worth
5000, 900 in cash and productive pro-

of the orphans and the approval of
all good men.
The Tri6uaae also publishes tile
text of the proposition Of the
compromise made on Jan 50th, in
behalf Of the Misses Greeley, through
Whetelaw Reid, which was promptly
and peremptorily rejected by the ex-
ecutors. Therein Miss Ida Greeley
offered and the offer was cordially
sanctioned by her sister, to first ex-
ecute to her sister any absolute title
to -halfthe entire PROPERTY, which
any respectable lawyer may devise.
Second-She offered the absolute
release of all Chains by the other
heirs under the will of 1871; the de

Children's Aid Society, that they
have nothing to do with the contest,
and the resolution they have adbp-
