Of this, hore- " ceivedin cash the sum of $£15,091:20, and has collested the remainder; principally with- ont euwt. The licbilities of the bankrupt, 88 alrcady proved before the Register, amount to about Ptha sum of 81,649,000 The. * Yisbilities not proved before the register, both contingent and ofherwise, amount to the sum of £648,145.65.

Bogue in trust for him, ~ Mr. mmon 8 the right to eet off his individual claims sgainst tho bankrupt_for losses sgainst this indebtedness, which is denicd by the Astignee. The matter ig in litigation in the United States Circuit Court, hes been submitted to the Court, and wi soon be Qecided by that Court. The decis- jon will be given in season for either party who desires it to appeal to the Tnited States Supreme Court st its mext December term. The Assignes holds the notes of Alonzo Rewson for the aggregate sum of $45,000, secared by moflfi!ge. H. C. Honors has filed his bill in $he United States Circuit Court, clziming that he is a joint debtor with “Rawson, and & joint owner of the property ‘which is held as security for the notes, claiming the right to set off = his individual claims ageinsy tho company for losses, amonnting to the sum of £15,000, sgainst the sim 8o due from Rgweon. This matter is also in litigation. Of the remaining outstanding” sssets or claims of the bankrapt, exclusive of stock notes, the sum - of 291,083.65 is claimed from various individ- als, some of whom are unable {o pay the full amount of their indebtednessat present, sud some of it is ot yet due. TEE TOTAL AMOUXT COLLECTED on the stock notes of the bankrupt is $104,667.~ 50, exclusivo of intcrest. The amount due, not puid, upon such stock notesis £56,155. Some Aare in suit, snd others are in jndgment, and the * Assignee lizs assurances that the remainder, ora Zarge part thercof, will soon be paid. The claims of the debto:s of the bankrupt to set off liabili- ties of the bankrupt, either ovned originally by them, or_purchazed by zbez?finfl,er the. failure of e Company, agalust ihe cluims of the bankropt, has been the chief sonrce of dif- fienlty and cxpense in the _collection of “the aesets. Very few of the assets of the bankrupt were ifree from these elaims, The right of set-off was brought by the ‘Agsignen before the courts, and the question was Fully cenvpesed. Tho decision was favorablo, .3nd, in consequence of it, the Assignee has been ensbled to coa-zcb léhs large amount of money h in his repo: ehornin s QEPLSHDX\'S ANSWERED, It wes asked whether the Assigree was push- sng the collection of the stock notes.

There being 1o objection to the report of the eignee, it was approved. The next guesticn was =s to THE DIVIDEND. - The Register s3id there was enough hand to mske one of & i'jnctle over 7 per cent. Since they would have to snother dividend, it was perhaps better d f,’flio make a {ractional d.i\'idendp now, it caus- ing ek trovble. Desides that, other auditors - Inteht come in to-morrow and prote their clais, .and thescupon be entitled to their per cent. It a8 best to fix adividend which would cover all airns. gvernor Bross ssked if Mr. Sesmmon's £40,000 claimg Would bo included. 5 Mr. Biblard ssid not. [ Amen."] BARWING CLADIS. 3t wos asked how long it took to ber & claim, The Registerssid by the palicy 2 euit ghould pe brought within'® & year. Ho had beld fhat, whero the loss was sdjusted within tho yesr, by r anthority, that that clauso o tha policy was abrogated, and the claim became 1 new promise—it was asettle- Iment. Many polity-holders had bad. claims ed- justed, bat Dol proved in Court. The dividend ‘would be psid only ;\ausa wgme c}n‘amu had Cbsen s and proved in oart. édh’m who had adjuted but not proved claims, ¥ gt take their 7 pelcent in the next dividénd. Those who had not paid premioma would be roquired to pay at the time they Teceived the dividend or the premiums would be_deducted from it. The dividend warrants would be pre- pared by the Assigneo and countersigned by the Register, and m;g; for delivery in nbont fonr~ teen deys, He would sond & notice to each creditor, 2 i : Mr. Kimball esid & fair proportion of the claims before the Assignco were among the poor Deople, who failed to_make proof, through ig- nco, and who conld ot wait'fora second ividend. Was there no“way of giving them their money? The Register did not see how it could bo done, conformably to the law. Gosernor Bross then addressed the meoting as follows: REMARES OF GOVERNOR BBOSS. GESTUEMEN: As President of the Mutual Se- curity Iusurance Company at_the time of our great fire, T feel it to bo my duty, with the per- ission of this honorablo Court, to give to its polics-holders o brief history of the Company, uud to state the reasons why-the dividend made to-day to its creditors is not 93¢ instead of 7 per cent.’ - That reascn i5 found in the fact that Hon. J. Young Scammon, the Treasurer of the Company, has, in his hands, some $40,000 of its funds, collected in small suins from the policy- Lolders, against which he claims the right o offsat tho policies ho holds in cominon With othe ers ; thereby securing to himealf somo 66 per cenf, whilo the other creditors canuot hope to Teceive more than 12, or, at most, 15 por cent. This matiér i8 now before the United States Court for adjustment, and whother MR. TREASURER SCAMMON succeeds or not, by a legal fiction or quibble, based o the asth of the * thimble-rigging” jug- gler, s as fo whothor Mr. Scammon, as ‘Tressurer, can sustain the im' of 66 per cemt for IMr, Scammon 28 an individua, his attempt to do Eo shows most clearly his dishonesty of purpose, I refer so to this matter with the groatest concern and sor- row. Ihad known him 25 a neighbor, and, a5 T thougbt, a friend, for nearly a quarter of a con- tury. Our aésociations, socially and politically, have alweys been plessant, A gomtlo- man of great vwealil and “ the highest culiure,” B0 man among us _ seomed to me o have a more commanding inflzence upon the development _and the welfaro of our city and of the entiro Northwest. I have boen an officer with him, and am_pow, in our Histor- ical and other socioties, to which ho always gontribufed Libezally, ~'as am __forced d position 28 Treasurer of this Company now to remembor, provided ho bad the keeping of their fands. I may bo par- doned, therefore, if I state_frankly that with the very greatest reluctance, I have been foreod to the conclusion that Mr. Scaamon is secking MEANLY AND DISHONESTLY tosppropriata to hisown losses the money which, s one of its leading and responsi- ble _oficers, _he a1} and s I Dolieve he now holds as Trusteo far the policy-holders of this Company. Surel; e is morally bound, by the construction whicl tho other ofticers of the Company and the com- munity put upon his official position as Treas- urer, 2ad not by sny mere legal assumption which he may choose to advance in his own be- balf. In this matter Mr. Scammon msay deceive himael?, but HE CAN DECEIVE NO ONE ELSE. As Thave been an officer of this Company from its organizstion in 1864, aud at the time of the fire was its President, and, with the exception of = Mr. Scammon, ils largest stock- holder, I beg = leave to group together a fow facts in rolation to ita history. Mr. Scammonhad obtainedthe charter for the Ma~ ‘tusl Secarity Insurance Company some years bo- foro 1964, and in thespring or summerof that yoar heinvitods number of our citizens to fuke stock in it. The Firoman’s, up to that fime, with only 5 per cent of its_capital paid in, had proved 8 grest success, snd it was proposed to repeat it Tho Compsny was duly organized; took rooms in Mr. Scammon’s buifding, and the capital paid in, 880,000, was placed on deposit with Mr, Scammon as 3 private banker. In or- der, as & spocial favor, a5 it was then claimead, and to help the Compsny along, ho Erud 10 per cent for the use of the monoy, As ho bad organized the Company Lo was al- Towed to put in IS SPECIAL FAVORTTES AS ITS OFFICERS, and it was managed with more or less effi- ciency and guccess—but principally the want of them, until 1868 or 1859, when the Company had sunk sbout all ifs paid up cepital, and an effort wss mado to wind it up. If 1 mistako not, some £15,000 or $20,000 had been paid to Mr. Scammon Timsolf for losses. Mr. Scammon stontly ro- sisted the winding up policy, and an aseessment was made on thestacknofes. To save the Company from being wound up by the Auditor, Mr. Scammon took these asscesments, and turned over to the Company sundry securities, DAN M. BOWMAB, a young, energetic, and excellent insuranco man- ager, was elected Secretary. I was electsd President in 189, The company, under Mr, EBowmar’s management, began to doa prosper- ous business, These assessments and tho busi- ness medo the paid np cspital $118,3%5, with a sufficient reserve for reinsurance, and’ alarge balance in stock notes. B, GCASDION WAS ALWAYS ALLOWED TO HAVE 700 MUCE CONTROT, of this Company. In 1867-8 he introduced a Foung man into society as the son of & wealthy frieed of his in Boston, by the mame of Bradstreet. Mr.. Scommon, it is sid, gave him a position in the Oskwood Cemetery, where he defaulted for some amount, but, instead: of sending him home, Mr. Scem- mon put him into the office of the Mutual Secu-~ Tity Insurance Coi:lpug;, and hefzxge Mr. rg{fizéir, hen managing tho Company, discove o peculstions of this pet of T ‘Bcammon, HE HAD SBTOLEN SOME $5,000. M. Seammon refused to have him arrested, nor has ho ever found it convenient to py 1 money. The office of the Qompany was kept in ., Scammon’s bauk building 4l Januery, 1871, . when the _ Directors voted to remove to No. 112 Ls Balle strest—a much better location, at only §1,000 per year rent, instesd of 21,800 to Mr. Scammon; of course to his great disgust, and against his most earnes{ protest. 1In 1870 Mr, Scammon was elected Treasurer of tho Company, and agein in 1871, In all the ad- vertisments and in all the cards of the Company e was named as the Treasorer. If, with THE LOW CUNNIKG OF A SHARPER, under the technicalties of the law he had for yeara been roping in his friends to furnish capital, snd_ the community o pay_premiumé on policies that, the money bewng deposited with him, he might grab it all, and indemnify himself for personal loss, it does seem to me that in sccepting the y:msceexfi of those fonds ss Treasurer, all his suppos right of offsota was waived and destroyed. True, be was permitted to have hisname used on checks drawn by the Compauy on him without {he word Treasurer affixed; but the excusehe e for this was that it would not Jook weil for m a5 Treasurer to appear to pay interest at 10 per cent and his bank could not payit, for it would sppear from tbat that they were hard up. Ihegto assure you that thia iy the true reason for the omission of the word * Treas- rer;” for, had the Directors snd officors of tho Company supposed for & moment that there was the remotest possibility that Mr. Scammon could in any great calamity GRAB THE ENTIRE MONEYS in his hends as Treasarer, and apply them as an offset on his own policies, and thus swindlo the other creditors out of their just_dues, ho never would have had the opportunity to do it. True, ke claims, and I heliave aome of the first officers of the Company admit, that- some arrangement was made by them in 1864 to put the money in his and for him psy in- terest on i, thereby giving some slight color of awopportunity for an offaet ; but 1o record of such a transaction appears on the books of tha Company. I ASSERT WITR ONFIDENCE that nine out of ten of the Directors never Deard of such sn arrangement. They never did ssnction it, with any supposition that Mr. Scam- mon conld claim an offset. To do it would be a cbeat and = fraud of the Dasest character, ‘whether done under the forms of 1aw or not. To attempt it must, in my judgment, injure the g£ood opinion of Afr. Scatmmon smong all honeat men, and, therefors, no 6ne can regret hig course in this matter more sincerely than I do. E. B. MoCagg, Esq., tho firat President of the' Compzny, and for many years the law partner of 1r. Scammon, and the only one exeept Mr, Bcammon and ryself, never heard of such & con~ iract, 2nd, if ever mado, it must have been dona by two or three special pets of Mr. Scammen, Toth he and they knew ‘the transaction to bo {randulont, for they did not dare to record it on, the books, and & very coneiderable part of the capital of the Company, if I mistake not, $171,- Sf)g, was in tho shspe of stock notes, The oapf. fal ‘which they Tepresent had never been paid in, It was simply promissory capital. ~And yet, their Honors, Judges Drummond and Blodgets, have decided that original policies for -losses, in tho bands of - the stockholders, cannot 'bo nsed as en offseb pgainst theso notes, The stockholders vho have lost by tho firo must lose 85 per c¢:nt on their policies, ©oven if they got their maney from Mr. Scom- mon, and PAT TEET ZOSES IN FULL ‘besides.

It cannot be thet the law will permit Mr. Scammon, the rich banker and. capitalist, to pay himself 66 per cent from the mopey of these poor people, and leave them to starve on 15 per cent.

When it was first discovered by the Passongors and rin-men thoy thought, as o matter of course, that in due time the “engineer on the approaching train would blow_down brakes and stop ata proper distance. But the heayy traincamo straight on, and it wds not until” it was within a short distance that, the engineer gave the signal for tho brakes.
