As tothe value of the assets heis unable to prouounce any opiniou. The probability is that Greenebaum Bros. & Co. will tile an amended schedule in a day or two, authority to do that baviog been granted them when they filed their nirst schedule a few weeks ago. About all. that _bas been done in the mat- ters of Henry Greencbaum & Co. bas been to make out the usual inventorics, and get things in shape for the Assignee to do some- thing towards converting asszts into cash. No collections to amouut to anything have been made. Now tbat Mr. Kimball has returned, there is a probability that some sort of progress will be made towards settling up matters. Day, manager of the German Na- i& In procgss of liquidation, expects to pay A Jirst dividend of 20 per cent this month. He is unabie to say how long it will probabiy take to close out the institution, but, trom the proaress tnus far made, the prospect scems fair that the depositors will not hiave long to wait. **No news ” was the cheerless reply to inter- rozatories after that article at the other banks.

THE WHISKY ASSESSMENT SUITS, The argument on the demurrer 1o the pleas of the whisky men in the assessment suits agaivst them was begun yesterday afterncon before Judge Drummond. The suits involved are against Pablman & Rush, assessment _$§24,- 000; aainst the Blackhawk Diszillery, $132,303; against Dickenson, Leach & Co., $16,575; against Dickenson, Abel & Co., two suits, $31,- 300: and ag: the Soutn Branch Distilling Company, §45,317. Al these defendants claim that the assessments were fraudulent and void. Dickenson, Leach & Co. also_plead immunity on similar terms to Roelle, Junker & Co., in giving up their property. The South Branch Distilling Comrany, or Hesing, who was the only one to plead, sets up 8 pardoun full and free, and also the siatute of limitations, that the assessment was not made within the time reguired by law. 'ne arguments were continued all the after- noon, snd_during the conversations Judge Drummond remarked that it might be that the ‘pleas, pledees, and promises of the Government officers amonnted to something, but it would take a goed deal of argument to convince him of such fact. Mr. Juessen contended that the plea had been admitted as good by Judge Blodgett.

INDICTMENT OF TWO STATE EMPLOYES. The December Grand Jury finished its labors at alate hour yesterday afternoon, and made its final return, consisting of twelve indictments and ecighty no bills. Among the indictments was one against L. P. Hilliard for perjury, and another sgainst Maji A. W. Edwards for the same crime, the offense being committed by both of them as officers of the late Protection Life-Insurance Company, in swearing from time to time to false statements of the condition of theconcern—itsassets, loans, mortzages, cash on hand, etc., the Notaries before whom the sbove false oaths were taken being Arnold Tripp and . J. Turpiney. The indictments cbarge, among other things, that they swore that the assets at one time were $413,558.74, and the mortenzes or deeds of trust on real estate, $192,500; the losses unpaid, $10,000: and the emount received for interest for the year, £8.449.13, all of which was known to be false and fraudalent in every particular. TAE PREVIOUS GRAND JURY brought in a blinket indictment against Ed- wards, Hilliara, Ryan, and Jobn Reid, for per- jury. ‘It was noticed at the time that, while the indicted ~ones were capiased, no. addi- tiopal bail was required of them. Tie explanation of this is that the State's- Attorney found that the indictment was worthless. It appears that they were indicted for perjury on one singic point,—that they had sworh that the Company’s paid-up eapital stock was $200,000, wherens, 1n reallty, capital stock bad been paid up to the amount of $500 only. On this the perjury indictment was b most immediately after it was returned, how ever, 1t was discovered that the law docs not require oflicers of Jife-nsurance companies to swear to their capital stock. It is required of oflicers of fire-insurance companies, but not of the others. This difference in the law bad pass- ed unnoticed, but wheu 1t was discovered it was seen that the indictment was vitiated. Hence no bail was required. Thc present one, how- erer, will unguestionnbly stick. B iy indictmant was also Fatarasd against Edwurds, Reid, Hilliard, and Ryan, and 3. H, KELLOGG, ACTUARY, AND R. L. 0ODS, State Insurance Examiner, for conspiracy to ob- tain movey under false pretenses by represent- ing that the Company was solvent, and thereby drawing the public into taking policies, when they well Kuew that it was not. The indictment contains five distinct counts, but the substance of them is cmbraced in the above statements. During the month of May, Maj. Woods, in conjunction with Actuary Kellogg, was engrazed in ap examination of the condition of the atfairs of the Protection Life-Insurance Compan: June 2, Mr. Woods made nis report to the Au- ditor.” Tbe examinoation, he says, occunied thirty-two days’ actual work,aud has been thor- ough and exisustive. The following is a schedule of all the assets and liabilities of the Company, ns shown by the books of the Company, and as allowed by the Exam- iner.” Thea thé Examiner went on and al- lowed assets to the amount of $372,736, and lia- bilities to the amount of $257,366, snowing 1 net surplus of $115,470. Maj. Woods concluded : [ have to say tnau the books aud accounts of the Compauy are properly’ kept, and exhibit detinitely and plainly ali thediflerent accounts.” The report then made to the Auditor in- cluded certain statements regarding the illegal trust associntions which were counected with the Protection Life. That portion of the report was submitted to the Attorney-General, in wihose bunds 1t remained for a couple of months before an answer could be obtained from hm. Ivwas never printed. The first part, showing that the Protection had apparently a net sur- plus of $115,000, was printed by the State Printer, and was scattered throughout the country. It was also used by the oflicers of the Protection as a superb advertisement. The Re- ceiverof the Protection, who took possession in August, two months alter the *tiorough and exhuustive ” examinativn of Maj. Woods, re- ports that the assets are $74,693, and the liabili- ties $571,179. 1T 18 THIS DISCREPANCY which constitutes one of the strong points against the Examiners of the Insurance Depart- ment. It must also be borne in mind that the facts connected with the illeral trust associa- tions bad been prioted in Tug TRIBUNE in 1875 and 1876, and had all been laid before the At- tornes-Geueral aud the Audjtor of Staze m April of 1877. No action was" taken, however, any State officer until June of 1877, and the action then taken was the publication of & report showing that the Protection was solvent, withholding the fact that there was 2 question whether the Company bad not orfeited its arter in engaging in these illegal trust associations. Uunder cover of this report, put forth by the Auditor of State, the Compuny did business for two months, paid out nothing, and collected from policy-holders about $50,000. SOME OF THE OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY have stated that Mr. Kelloge has for years been in the pay’of the Compauy, that the reports and examinations made by him were purchased, and that he had received from them, since 1574, about £4,000 or §5,000. Other officers of the Company bave also stated that Maj. Woods was paid #500 for making the report which he did. One person stated that, during May, Maj. Ed- wards said to bim that he was goinzto pay Woods this sum of money for the purpose of getting a favorable report, and that the person 10 whom Le thus spoke said the Major was sim- ply wasting his money—that the end of the company was assurcd—that 1t couldn’t live, and that it was unadvisable to throw away any more money. The Major, however, insisted that he could pay, and should keep the thing. runninz as long as possible. It must be borne in miud, however, that the persons who have made thesé statements have been indicted for perjury. Re- gardless of the sanctity of an oath, they are un- questionably equally reardless of their word when its falsicy involves no legal penalty, ond these statements must, therefore, until thieyare proved true, be regarded as untrde. % _ TIUE STRONG FOINT against Woods aud Kellogg is, however, that, but a short time after their report had been printed, THE TRIBUNE, with its jmperfect means of information, denied all access to the books of the company—made’ its report of the Protection's condition, of its liabflitics and of its assets,—proved the untruthiulness of the State Auditor’s report, and came within 2 few thousaud dollars of the figurcs subse- quently published by the Receiver afteran ex- haustive 2nd thorough examination of the *t well-kept™ books of the Company. It will be necessary for the defendants to prove that they were duceived and hoodwinked by the of- ficers of the Company, and that they were merelygrossly neglizens in the examination which they made. For instance, the Company claimed in May that it had $38,471 in_cash in bank. The Examinerallowed this, and theitem stands in his statement of the asscts. It does not appear that he took the trouble to 2o to the bank to verify this statement, or to_inguire of the officers of the bank whether that cash ‘was offsct by any indebtedness on the Compa- oy’s part. Had he made such an inquiry he would have found that against the ‘ cash on hand” stood a pledge of the Company’s stock, and notes given by it. There are other instances showing extreme carelessness on the part of the Examiners, which were noted at the time in Tig TriBoNE, and which it is unneces- ug to repeat now. ‘upiases for the arrest of all the indicted will be issued to-morrow, and in a few days they will have to give bail or %o to jail. with the exception of John Reid, whom the Sheriff docs not seem to be particularly anxious to tind. AMONG THE OTHER INDICTMENTS was one against Sextus N. Wilcox for perjury, alleged to have been committed in swearing in the Superior Court some time ago in the Faunt- leroy suit that prior to entering iuto partnership with Fauntleroy, Morgan & Pearsons, in the formation of a lumber company in Michigan, he had never visited the property, whereas it is_claimed that out of court he confessed that he had, and, asa matter ot fact, had. The jury ignored the case Friday, but reconsidered its action yesterday. The facts involved arc old and well-known, and have been passed on fn Wilcox’s favor, both fn the Superior and Supreme Courts, and the criminal prosecution is belicved to have been commenced with a view to having the case opened up anew in the civil courts. ‘The other indictments of moment returned were for abduction—one against L. H. Gilbert, Katie Comlin, of No. 100 Johuson street, being the compluining witness, aud the other aguinst R. B. Morris, of Valparaiso, the complainant being Ida Kerns, of Joliet, who, it is claimed, he brought to this ity on the pretense of get- ting her a situation. Both the latter are men of family and under arrest. ANKRUPTCY, ABRAIAM LIPMAN, better known as “ Your Uncie,” on the morth- west corner of Clark aud Madison strects, hav- ing exhausted all the portable property of his neighbors, found his occupation goue, and yes- terday afternoon was obliged to show up bis affairs in the Bankruptey Court. He owes an unknown amount for personal property taxes. His secured debts amount to $65,166, with se- curitfes yalued at $79,938.92, the largest credit- ors being_John D. Jennings, who is in for $15,~ 009, and Haiman Lowy, §14,843. The unse- cured debts are $57,620,46, due chiefly in smull amouats for merchandise and money borrowed. The largest creditors are Mrs. M. Goldman, 35, 850; William Smith & Co., New York, $4,800.92; Lowitz, Milwaukee, $5,180; and Samuc Stoyer, $4,087.50. The assets comprise the bomestead, No. 1157 Indlana avenue, worth §20,000, mortgaged for its full value, and sever- al other pieces of real estate, value not_given. Also his stock of jewelry, ete., SI8,357.50; bousehold goods, one cutter, snd ome cow, $1,005; personal property pledged as collateral to_creditors, $40,997.425 open accounts, $13,~ 437.70; fire insurance policies, $225%0. The usual reference Lo the Register was made, “foa reporter who saw him yesterday after- noon_asto the cause of the filing of the peti- tion, Mr. Lipmau said: *Ilost a great deal of money by the fire of 1871, and paid my creditors 25 cents on the dollar. T started up acain, and aofterwards paid them the 75 cents 1 owed tnem. But to do that I borrowed money from others. Thoped to puil through, but in the last two or three years I have lost $70,000 by shrinkasre in values, and, though Lcould have borrowed more money, the time would come when I would have been obliged to quit, 50 1 thought it best to do 5o now. " Busi- ness is fearfully flat, and we can sell nothing. I haveon my books $14,000 of money loaned with- out securities, and for merchandise bought but ot paid for. 3y intentions are good, and Ill 1ry to pay everybody in full if Ican, 1 expect to continue business—to be straighténed out in three or four wecks.”” *What about the pledges? ™ “No one need be alarmed about them. They are all sceured, and any oue who has anything Liere can get it by paying the money.” “You say you borrowed money to carry on your business?” Yes, aud had to pay 2, 2}¢, and 3 per cent a month, and; that would cat the life out of any §man. It’s very unfortunate, but I couldn’t help fit. D'l act strawht with everyone, and do the best I can by them.” MERELY SUSPENDED. There were no new aevelopments in the affairs of Messrs. Clement, AMorton & Co. yesterdsy. The statement in regard to their affmirs, as made in THE TRIBUNE, was correct. Yesterday the firm was in receipt of telesrams of the sincerest sympathy from their credito Nearly ail of them were of the most encourag- ing nature, and telling them not to worry, and to make no sssignment, and to awuit the ac- tion of their creditors. Their local creditors were also of the kmdliess turn of mind. Oue well-known gentleman, to whom the firm is in- debted §12,000, offered them $15.000 in bonds to use, whicn thev declined. ‘The creditor, how-~ ever, lelt his securities in their vaults. The firm of Clement, Morton & Co. stands high throughout the country, aud its_credit has not been seriously impaired Dy their suspension, because it is no fault of the members. The house s really solvent; the asscts, good, but not immediately avaiiable, are fully $1C0,000 in excess of tiabilities, and, with such a showing, their creditors cannot help but give them the vecessary extension. The fact of the long sea- son of mild weather and bad roads bas impaired their collections to the exteut of about $130, 000, and tothis alone is the suspension attributa- ble. The accounts, however, are all good, and a little time will bring matters all right. Mr. George Sickels, the casbier of the con- cern, was the only gentlemen fo the office last evenng, and he was busily engaged upon the books, which are fully balanced to date. A creditors’ meeting will probably be held Tues- day, when the firm wi'l be grauted such au ex- tension as may be needed to contiuue business, aud that is about all that will be done, excent that the firm will render a full and complete statement of its affairs. TUE OTHERS, The Plambers’ Supvly Company by, its Secre- tary, John B. Sullivan, also filed 3 voiuntary pe~ tition. The preferred’ debts due workmen are $613.95; the secured, $251.22, and the uns cured, $4,973.

RECORDER BROCKWAY. * THAT DISPUTED SALARY ITEM. Mention was made a day or so ago of the fact that Assistant County Treasurer Beyve had made demand on Recorder Brockway for the sum of $7.199.06 on account of the surplus fees reccived for the Recorder’s office during 1877, and that the Recorder had expressed his readi- ness to pay over all this sum with the exception of $1,000, which, acting under the advice of connsel, hie believed he was entitled to, as com- ptnsation for extra services rendered. The 1otlowing receipt shows that Mr. Brockway has turned over all that he considered himself bound to: Cnicaco,. Jan. 5, 1877.—Received of J. W. Brockway, Recorder of Cook County, I, $6,199.08, on account of surplus fees recelved at the Recorder's ofiice 88 per report May 31, 1877, and Nov. 30, 1877. ing of this sum shall not prejudice the rights of the county or zaid Brockway In reterence 1o his claim for the sum of $1,000 retained by him for his compensas tion for additional dutles claimed to be imposed on him by resotutions of the County Board, and claimed ander the Jaw to be outside his duties a3 Recorder, - S. H. McCrea, Conaty Treasurer. It appears that Recorder Stewart was allowed $1,000 a year by the County Board for recording abstracts, that being extra work not contem~ P{lmcd by the laws as they existed when the ecorder’s office was created,and not considered when the Recorder’s salary was fixed. Dauring Recorder Stewart’s administration the office cost the county a matter of $15,000 & year over ‘ana above the fees, and when Mr. ° Stewart left the office he failed to pay ‘over to the Courts the considerable sum which was in his hands is fees collected. During Recorder Brockway’s one year he has paiil out of the receipts ail the ex- penses of the oflice, and has turned over to the County Treasurer §6,000. He- has been more economical thag_his predscessor to the tune of about $25,000. Yet the County Board retuses to0 pay Mr. Brockway $1,000 a year for the ex- tra labor involved in running’ toe abstract de- partment, althouzh he has made the oflice a Source of income, while it willingly paid the $1,000 to Recorder Stcwart who made it 2 burden upon the country. Apparently such conduct ns this) nas a tendeney to encourage shiftlcssness, nealizence, and extrav- agance in_ the manacement of 2 public oftice. Apparently it would seem, fn accordance . with the eternal fitness of things to reward the. man whno does well, rather than the one who does ill. The work which the Recocder is now performing was not provided for at the time when his pay was originally tixed. It is 8 question whether he can be made 1o do it unless he receives ad- ditional compensation, and all the lawyers who bave been consulted—good lawyers, too.— agree that he is entitled to this additional sum. SONS OF VERMONT. THEIR FIRST BANQUET.

Invitations have been sent by the Committec to all Vermonters whose names tney have been able to obtain. It is possible that some have been omitted, and, inorder to provide for such a continzency, the Committee assureall Vermonters that they will be wel- come whether they have received a formal invi- tation or not. THE WEST PARKS. . BOARD MEETING. The West Park Board Leld its first meeting in its new and haudsoue quarters at the corner of West Washiozton and Halsted strects yester- day afternoun, President Wilcox in the chair, Commissioners Woodard, McCrea, Wood, Bran- nock, Bennett, and Secretary Kerr present. A commupication was received from P. N. Duval, a bounced policernan at Humboldt Park, complaining of his removal by the Superin- tendent of the Park. With the communic: tiou came a letter strongly recornmending his reappointment. Both documents were referred tothe Auditor, with instructions to report at the next mecting. A communication was received from Mr. Eligs Greencbaum, for the German National Bank, statini that the bauk held the old Co missioners’ note for $5,520, dated July 22, 1574, due March 1, 1875, witn interest at S’ secured by six bonds of the Commissioners, dated Nov. 1, 1869, due Nov. 1, 1878,~tive for $1,000 each, and one for issued to A. Rogers in _part payment of lands. The interest on_the bonds, it was stated, was paid up Nov. 1, 1870, and_the principat and interest were to be paid Nov. 1, 1877, in conclusion, Mr. Greencbzum stated tkat the bank must ollect, aud requesied the Commissioners to give the matter their favorable consideration, 1f not a preference, a5 oue of Lhose matters where the money wis nceded aud should be paid at once. Commissioacr Wood stated that there was s lezal question involved in the matter, and the note should not be paid until the question was fully investigated. . On motivn of ' Commissioner Woodard, the communication was referred to the Committea on Finance, with instructions to report at an carly day The Sccrctnr%’ read the aflirmation by the Su- oreme Court of the judzment for certain taxes Ievied for park purposes upon the appeal of the several detendunts. The document was received and ptaced on file. issioner Woodard offered a_ resolution « the Engineer to report the number of trees tiat had died or were o a dying condi- tion, aud dirccting the contractors to replace them with live trées as required by their con- tructs. The resolution wasadopted. . Commissioner Woodard referred to Heor Grecuebaum’s claim, in his bankrapicy proceed- ings, aoninst the Boara lor salary as Treasurer, and surgested that investigations mignt result showi at the debt was the other way, in icn caso the Board should tile its claim against the estat Comumissioner Wilcox stated that the Finance Committee had lately been interrupted in its worls, but that the intention was to pursue the investizations into Mr. Greencbaum’s accounts. From what he had ‘seen of the gentleman's ae- counts, it appeared that the Board bad not al- sways recelved proper credit for interest. More- over, Mr. Greencvaum bad stated at one meet- ing that he was willing to serve the Board with- pay; and there was no resolution on record authorizing the payaeot to him of any salary. Comuissioner Woodard otfered a resolution instructing the Finuuce Committee to make a tormal demand ou Mr. Greenebaum’s Assiznee for all thie sums of money that seemed to be due by Mr. Greencbaum to the Board. The resolution was adopted. g “Aiter some miscellaneous business of no gen- eral importance, the Board adjourned. DRIVING ASSOCIATION. THE ANNUAL MEETING. The Central Park Driving Association held its annual meetinig at Owsles’s Hall, corner of Madison and Robey streets, last eveuiug. There was a fair representation present. The Presi- dent, Mr. J. T.

THE C1TY-HALL. A case of varioloid was reported at 842 West, M adison street yesterday. The license receipts for themonths of October, November, and December of 1877 aggregated $12,220.80. Some exceedingly rich developments are hinted at in the Michizan avenue ifnvestigation when it comes up again. No intimations of what they will be have been made. The City Treasurer's receipts yesterday in- cluded from the Water Department $1,78, Collector $12,391, of which $12,000 was from the ‘West. Town Collector, and from the Comptroller 457, - THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT. Superintendent of Buildings, - Mr. L. D. Cleaveland, has just tomoleted his annual re- port, which shows an increase of 31,033 fn re ceipts for huilding permits for 1877 over 1876, aud {ncluding in the ipts the ‘ builders’ water-tax, collected by the Water Department, the total excess would agmrepate $2.725.73, which fs the amount 1n excess of the cxpenses of the department. The expenses for the year 1877 have been $6,725.11 less than in 1876. The number of fires investigated and reported upon is sixty-eight, most of which were previous to the reduction of the {force of the departmeat, March 1, 1877. In addition to this the Superintendent bas made a survey of all the theatres, public halls, churches, schools, etc., ond also the plans, now ou file, of. these places. Notices were served upon the lessees aud manaeers of these theatresand public halls when thought necessary by the Superintendent for public safety. Sowe of the maaagers have complied with the notices, and aone everything necessary for the public fafety, while others have paid no attention to them, there beins no ordinance to compel them to muke the required changes. Their places remawm as heretofore, and speedy legislation upon the subject is nee- essary. M Cleaveland naively says: 1 fear they will remain in thelr Spresent nnsafe condition until some public cnlamity simitar to the burning of the Brookiyn Theatre occurs, when public sentiment will be aronsed, but too latc to #uve valuable lives and property. the loss of which must inevitably result in cuse of fire in some of our theatres of public halls. The Superintendent acknowledges that the Police and Fire Departmeats have materially aided him. The Building Department now con- sists of Su%eriutend..-ut. Secretary, snd two In- spectors. The foree, Mr. Cleavelund holds, is 160 small to carry out the requirements of the letter of the ordinance. Most of Lis time, since Sept. 15 last, hos been consumed in preparing the plaus for the new City-Hall, and in super- intending the construction of the foundations.
