Thoso Land Speonlations, About a month ago, Tanne Groonebaum, 9 membor of tho banking firm of Houry Greeno. baum & Co,, filad a bill In tho Cirewlt Court against hia former partners, fn which ho oxhib- ited in rosoate colors the advantages to be dee * rived from establishing a banting buviness, and the conntloss thousands of precnbacks which nro waiting to be showerod unaaked into the tape of those privileged followors of Piutun, Anothor tone, howovor, was imparted to this brilliant pletura by tho anawor of IMenry Groone. baum, one of tho dofondants, which was gieg Tueaday, This anawar, howovor, owing to (hy omission on the part ofjto attornoys to perform striding but indisponsable duty, tho characte, of which will probably bo inferred from the ange geativa words written on the papora,—quy $1.50,"—was loft to darkness» and oblivion In the drawor of tho clork wutil exhumed by the handy of one of thoaa necessary mortala who ate gex, erally supposed to possess onty to & vory limiteg degree the powor of keoping money. Aftor prndontly inlimating that ho dosirey to rotain the right {o make uso ot his pleagure of any mistokeu that his antogonist may hare made in his painting, Mr. Monty Grosnebaog immediately bogins to lower the tons of rom. plainant's coloring by stating that in Lin opintog the complainant, Isanc, NEVER WAS A PARTNER in the monoy-making dim of Greenebaum & Co, Tho Chicago and Now York firms though en. gaged tn tho same gencral business woro differ. ent and distinct in many respects, ang employed 8 different class of clerks, dn July, 1869, an agreement waa mady hotwoon Henry Groonebaum & Co., of Chicago, and Isaac Greenabauin, by whiol Isaac became an omplosa of the Chlengo firm at a salary oqual to 10 por cent of tha net profits of the business, and atill farthor limited to an interest in tho deporit aud discount buninees, purchased and gold domestic oxchango, Government bonda, and bullion, In other respect, Teaac wae a lin. ited partner. Ife was not authorized to sign the firm name, oxcopt in issuing or indoralng clocks, drafts, or othor vouchers, and in conducting the correspondence of tho firm in the legitimate resection of their business, Bo was also lim. ited to drawing not to exceed 8400 ® month, er. copt by consent of the dofendanta, Henry and David 8, Greonobanmn. Tho defendant also alleges that hy the agree. tont it was specially agsertod that he and Dayig ‘woro THE BOLE OWNERS OF THR CAPITAL STOCK and tho real and parsonal property of tho firm, having solo contiol also ovartho clerks, N° partnership rolations, the defendant charges, wore creatal by the agroamont. sano waa net mado rasponsiblo for any losaca, nor did Lo con. tribute any capital, but bo was placed in bis position elmply to provido for him lucrative employmont and amplo remuanrration. The defendant donios that Isaac had any right to de mand an account, but it was provided that once inn yenr the not profits should bo ascertainal, and Isnac’a abnro deducted and paid over to hin, Nover in the courso of business wes tho latter eallat ‘on to pay losaow or to manage tho firm ale airs. aAbont January, 1871, Honry proposed to Tex that he should take the office of Vice-Presidens of tho German National Bank, and tako charre of its nfairs, but still nominally retaining his connection with the banking firm, and thatbe should be paid 86,000 instead of the 10 por ceal of the profits. Toll this ISAAC ASSENTTD,* and tha proposed change was made in 187, In January, 1872, at tho expiration of tho fint contract, Henry mado another contract wid Tsaac, a6 he says, by which the Inttor was to cos tinuo in the employ of Henry Graovebaum & Co, at Chicago during tho yenra of 18720! 1873 for $5,000 o your, Henry also agrooing pay $6,000 and intorest, which was duo by Iau on bis hougo on Calumet avenno, In additioa ia this, Honry says he gave Inaaa n gratuitous div chargo fram = dobt of $5,151.48, which he had overdrawn, and aldo surrendored to him notes td the amount of 87,000 “na gratuity, in the bor that the samo would bo roccived as a tokeo of the nataral love and affection which this defendant bolievos he sincerely cherished for him.” On tho 22d of January, 1874, Henry atates Isang gave hint a recoipt for .€24,793, it full forthe balance duo him as hia whare of profits from Junanry, 1872, to January, 1874. The defendant algo denies that he PMYATILY AND @ECRETLY INSENTED ina papor of limitod ‘circulation a wotice of the dissolut{on of tho firm in May, 1974, butale loges that the publication was mada with the full knowledge and consent of the complainact. In support of this allegation, Mr, Monry Greene baum shows acopy of a written consent girn him by Ieaao, in which tho latter aoknowiedge: that his connection with tho firm hod torminat by limitation, and authorizes Henry to git notice of such fact, In regard to the MUDSTITOTION OF ZLIAS GRERNEBADM in tho firm, tha defendant states that Is, know of the proposed attumpt to havo lin takes into tho firm, and that np early og Febru, 1873, he wroto to Elina, ** Whonavor you step. horo, I stall go out." Besides all the documentary proof ag to tht nature of the rolation, Henry in sdditlon myt thot Isaac showed by lita convorsation that bb did not concider bimactf aa a parinor; thathe complained to othor partios that ho was nota! lowed tobo takon into the firm; that he ws dovignated 23 “limited partnor,” and thi though ho, as a brothor, was troatod differen! from 6 olork, yot tho tegs! relatlonabip never changod as between thomuslves, oon thous thero might be 6 queution raizod as to his listili- ty by third partios..

TARELEVANT AND IMPRRTINENT to tho isaue, and objects ta their introductlos. ‘The defondant, however, admita that be my have purchased some roal estate, and probstly tunda some profits from It, which were duly & counted for.
