Further Facts Atxrat Payment to the Daughters of the Late Mr. Greeley. »,

From the New York Trlbuno. The Tribune announced exclusively on March 5 laiit that a compromise haa been effected between William H. Vanderbilt, the proponent of the will of CommodQre Cornelius Vanderbilt, and Mrs. La Bau, the contestant, and Cornelius J. Vanderbilt, the plaintiff in another suit in thelsupreme court, which was merely a tender to the suit to break the will. It was stated at that time that it was "well known, though not generally acknowledged, that the termination haa been brought about by a copromise which involves also the pending suit of Cornelius J. Vanderbilt against W. H. Vanderbilt. Some

the evidence which the two plaintiffs, Mrs. La Bau and her brother, ware prepared to submit in the event of 'farther contest of their claims, was told to Judge Rapallo, and on the latter's advice negotiations and compromises followed. Cornelius J. Vanderbilt is to receive $1,000,000 and his expenses in the suit in the Supreme Coajrt, and Mrs. La Bau, now Mrs. Berger, a like amount and costs and the will of the late Commodore Vanderbilt is to remain uncontested."

This statement was indignantly denied the next day by several counsel in the case, and application was read at this office for statements that neither Cornelius J. Vanderbilt nor George Terrv had furnished the information. Verbal assurances were given to that effect, as could properly enongh be done, because it was intimated that the compromise might be repudiated bv william H. Vanderbilt if the repoi't hsd been authorized oy either 01'the above named. But the fact, nevertheless, remained that the •compromise had been effected and the terms agreed upon were practically as •tatcd. The round sum of $1,000,000 •which it was agreed should be paid to Cornelius J. Vanderbilt was sub-divided, as now appears, but it was not then stated, as follows: The debts of Cornelius J. Vanderbilt, to an amount not exceeding

$300,000,

$500^00.

which they were estimated, were to be paid, and that to the Greeley estate first of all. C.J. Vanderbilt represented that this

would cover his indebted

ness to the Greeley estate, George Terry, Z..E. Simmons, and all others, with interest, and it was understood that any balance of the

$300,000

over and above

these debts should be paid him in cash. The $aoo,ooo left him by his father in the •will just admitted to probate was to be paid—that is to say, the income of this sum. In addition, William H. Vanderbilt agreed to pay his brother

Pending the invest

ment of this latter mm, William H. Vanderbilt was to gurantee his brother 4 per cent on the half million named until Cornelius could select other securities in which to invest. This Mr. Vanderbilt, the younger, did on Saturday last with the advice and assistance of Mr. B. D. Worcester, secretarr of the NewYork Central Baiiroad, who has been fer a.aay years a personal friend of ooth brothers, and who, in the proposed absence of Cornelius J. in Europe for some years to come, will have the direction ot all his investmentsr The payments to Mis. La Bau-Berge. were as already stated, but the details, as in the case of Cornelius J. Vanderbilt, are not yet ready to be made public.

The c'wA-exaraination in the will case which MrnWilfiam H. Vanderbilt »as desirous of avoiding had no reference whatever to his personal character, aa has been stated, put related solely to hi* financial conditicn. Naturally it would be a great drawback to a man iff '-Mr Vaaderbilt's position to be compelled to etate on oath the nature and amount of his immense investments, and coasequtfft}y Mr. Vanderbilt wished to avoid* interrogation on these points, The conattrdnflte followed, as stated in the Tribune of March

was practically cancelled In a legal point of view. But on December 1,1868, Cornelius J. Vanderbilt sent Mr. Greeley by mail two notes each for $23,Q6S at

per

cent interest and running seven years, to secure him for the moneys advanced at various times, and represented by- many notes and drafts for various amounts, all of which were surrendered by Mr. Greeley in tho bankruptcy proceedings. Mr. C.J. Vanderbilt claims to have received from Mr. Greeley in reply a letter saying that he (C.J. V.) did not owe him (Mr. G.) anything, but adding that he would retain the notes for bis children. Subsequently Mr. Vanderbilt drew upon Mr. Greeley for the following sums, all of which were paid: ISM—Draft from Washington...*^ 1W 1970—Draft from lg7o— Draft fro« Washington L|*2 1870—Draft from Washington MS

Total H.« Of course the latter sums have| boo*

outlawed long ago, and C. J. Vanderbilt was not legally bound to paf them, but on being told "that they were held by the daughters he at once said they must be paid with interest. An examination of all the claims outlawed and those still legal, with the proper calculation of interest, resulted in establishing that the total sum due from Cornelius J. Vanderbilt to the daughters of Mr. Greeley was $81,187.

To offset this were two claim*. The first was a payment of

$5,000

each to the

two daughters made by Commodore Vanderbilt shortly after Mr. Greeley's death. And as illustrative of the characters of the two men, and to correct erroneous stories, it may be as well to tell ia proper form the circumstances of this payment and of a protest by Mr. Vanderbilt to Mr. Greelev against further loans. Commodore Vanderbilt undoubtedly believed that his way of disciplining his son was the correct one. On learning that Mr. Greeley was advancing sums to his wild son, he called at the Tribune office and ascended to Mr. Greeley's room. The Editor of the Tribune was absorbed in writing an editorial. Commodore Vanderbilt was in a rage. He burst out on approaching Mr. Greely, with this emphatic remark: "Mr. Greeley, I want you to understand, sir, by G—d, I won't pay a cent of my son's debts." Without looking up from his manuscript. Mr. Greeley replied: "Who the h—1 asked you to?" Mr. Vanderbilt, on leaving the room, said to a friend: "What internal independent fellows these editor* are." Mr. Greeley subsequently said to Cornelius J. Vanderbilt, after relating tne circumstanceI don't want anything to do with these rich fellows they are impertinent." After Mr. Greely's death, Commodore Vanderbilt wrote to the Misses Ida and Gabrielle Greelev a note, in which, after calling their attention to the inclosure of Harlem for

$5,000

each, he added that he wished it distinctly understood that he did not pay the sum* as any part of his son'i debt to their father. Nevertheless, in the recent settlement concluded yesterday, this amount of

$10,000,

Total

above quoted. The other

papers of this city yesterday confirmed the news published by the Tribune month ago, without, however, giving the bove details.

It should be added that William H. Vanderbilt insisted that the debts

Cor

neliusj. Vanderbilt should be paid as a preliminary to further settlements. In accordance with this arrangmont, Cornelius J. Vanderbilt has paid a large sum, not definitely ascertained, to Z. E. Sim mens to George Terry

The** details of

the latter indebtedness and its payment have a special intereet for the readers of The Tribune, and are given below.

Mr. Greeley began to lend money to Cornelius J. Vanderbilt when the latter was a very young man. lie did so out of sympathy with him, because Mr. Greelev believed that Cornelius Vanderbilt, the old Commodore, was needlessly harsh towards his youngest son. Mr. Greeley may have believed the numerous stories of hii bad' habits if so, he diu not believe that harsh treatment and cruel depnvation of a boy trained to think he had "great expectations" was the tight way to cure him of evil course*. Mr. Greeley was a man moved almost as much by sympathy as conviction, and the case'oryoung Vanderbilt excited his pity to such an extent that down to

1864

ous amounts an aggregate of $45,93+. In the vear named Cornelius J. anderbilt *as* adjudicated a bankrupt, and being discharged as such bankrupt, of the debt of Mr. Greeley

of course

without interest, was deducted flora the total amount, leaving

$71,187

due.

Mr. C. J. Vanderbilt put in a further claim that several years ago he had paid Mr. Greeley

$4,000

in csah for which no

receipt had been given or asked. Mr. Vanderbilt expected that it would simply be placed to his credit on account, but Mr. Greely is represented as aaying in his grimly humorous way that he would keep it lor "CorritU" to borrow from thereafter. Mr. Vanderbilt produced as proof of this payment a written statement of Henri L. Stuart that he had seen the money paid to Mr. Greely. Scott Lord yesterday stated that other proof of the payment existed, but Mrs. Smith and Miss Gabrielle Greeley declined to to dispute the point, and the

was al

lowed, and this was also decuted from the total, leaving the aura to be paid in full,
