DesMorxes, Ia., Juno 26,—~Tho Attornoy-Gon= oral gives tho Btato Auditor n long opinion on the Railrond Tariff Inw, in which ho takes tho position that the State s tho powoer to onforco the lnw according to tho intont of tho Logisla- ture. If the railrond companies fail to mnko their roports, the Executive Council must bo permitted to obtaiv, from sny and all proper Bources, such information as may bo nocos- sary to mnko the required classifieation. The provisions of tho first section of the act aro oxplicit and positive, to the elfact that the roads ghall be classitied according to Lho gross amount of their respective annusl cnmlngn per mile, and thint according to their clussitication tho railrosd covporsttons shall oo limited in their maximum ohargos to {he 1atcs of componention for the traoeportation of pnssengors and freight pre- geribed in said sch. No conditions what- over are attached to ths direct and pokitive enactmont. ' ‘There no pro- virion that if the reports required by Bec. 7 are mndo by the various compauics, thon the claveification ehall bo mnde aud the sovoral clagaes bo limitod to the cbarges eutablished ; pothing of the kind, but, on the contrary, the simple, unqualified, but cxcoodingly poutive o= actment is made that tho claswfications shall bo made, and tho respactive classed shall be limitod in thoir charges for transporiing frolght and paseengers to tho maximum rato designed in s law, 1f, then, it is made imporative wupon tha fixecuttve Council to mnke the clusstfication, 1t follows, a8 & matter of courso, tlin, if tho corporations have fuiled to make tha voporls which should contain the correct infor- mintion necessnry to the proper dischargo of this imperative duty, ihe Council not only has the poter, but 1t becomou its positive duty, to look to other sources for such information, 8ec. 7 in oxprosnod terms provides that the Execu- tive Cuuncil is to adopt the annunl reportsof the various rajlrond currnmliouu 08 tho basis of the classification only in cpso tho Conncli shiall, on oxamisntion, bo satisfled of thocorrectnees of said soturn, 1t is quite clear that there is an impled diroction not to uso and adopt tho roturna and reporks taat wore known to bo wrong, and which the Councif wag fully sntistied wero incorgect and it would soem to bo reasonnbly clonr thut if the Council is dijected not to adopt as the basis for making the olavsifications tho roturns which i nnd at the same time iy dircoted to make o clusification, Lthon such information as the Councd should deem to be correct, no mutter from what sourco it was dorivad, should bo ninde nwo of. Corporations owning roads will uever bo peimitted, 1 sny coutt, to sot up their own neglect of duty ns & onson Why tha classifle sation should be doclared illogal. "It woulld be & vory strange condition of affairs, indoed, 1f & person can place obstncles in tho wuy of tho bperntion or suforcemont of = law, aud thon bo permitted in ecurt to plend the existence of such abulacles as a valid objection to the suforeement of sueh Jaw ; or, in other words, io plend his swn deliborately wrong act as uuflleiont oxcuso why tho Inw shiull not and cannot be enforced seainst him, 1 this shall bo Tcnnlt!.ml, 1t will be in violation of all well-sottled principles of 1uw aud oquity.

T'hore wore not many present. besides the shooters, tho heat being altogsther too .grent to ronder s vimt eithor pleasaut or profitable, The shooting began at 10 a. 18, the oconditious being too eluglo rizes por man from plungo traps, and at tho bLandicap distances given in tho score bolow. BIr. John Farnsworth acted a8 roforeo, and gave gencral satisfaction. ‘L'he champion one-armod shot of the world was tho first to toe tho mark, Thia gentloman ia tho Hon. Bolomon P, Hopkius, of the Genoral Assembly, familiurly known e ‘* Old 8ol." He killed nino straight birds {n fing stylo, and would have murdored the touth and 1nst without the slightest compunction, but for a disputo whiocb aroso. Lest thero might bo -omo trouble in tho future, which was by no moans likely, Bol dehborately threw away his chance for thio first prizo, bolioving that to be tha wisost policy undor the circumstauces. Tho remainder of tho shooting, with fow oxcoptions, was fully up to the Kounicolt-atandard, ~ Whon the acore was footed up, 1t was found that Abe Kicinman, shooting from thirty-ons yards, and Town Wil- marth, shooting from twonty-six yards, bad tied for the medal on ten birds oach, and that thera were sovon nines for the watch-oharm.

Spectal Disvatoh to The Chicagn Tribune, Doston, June 26.—The fifth gnmo of the champlonship serics botweon the Chicago and Boston Olubs was played In this city to-day, and proved to be a vory closo and exciting contest. Tho batting of the Chiongo nine was terrific, and should have won them the game ensily, but a single orror by both Davlin aud Moyerle in the aixth juning gave the Boatons fourunoarned rune and ulead which could ngtbe avercomo, although the Whites struggled "hard for victory up to the close of the jme, Owing to tho lame- nose of Meyerle's arm, he chauged positions with Force, the latter playing the basc to per- fection. Glonn also distinguished humself by maling somo fino catones in the handled the willow with telling effect. Tho fleld- ing of tho Boston nino was firat-olaes, considor- ing tho hot shots they hnd to face, but their ba! upg was vory weak comparatively. Tho atteu anco was small, a8 tho weather was threntoning, and doubtless mauy expectod it would be a ono- gided and uniutoresting game, THE GCORE ! sossown. |8/ AEI4lE|l omioacon. || 481alx EEER FEEEE of of of 1 3|1l 83l 1 1l 1) of ol of FERIE of of 118" of thal ol 1 o 2P s gy il 2 o v of 4| 3 Totale ...l & 415|510 7l 8 “Tnningi— [ Raston. 1381, 08117 y 35 ngn, 3. ra—1i , B3 OF )y 4. s s lotion b il 4 Umpire=Wiillam MoLaan, of Y’h]lnlulvhil. s ocasa, ot Fimlotgh BURGLARS CAUGHT. ‘Threo young cracksmen, James Mogan, Menry Martio and John Qlifford, the last uamod colored, were eaught in tho act of robbing the hardware store of Iamillon Hunt, on Lake streot, ono door from the - northoast cormer of State, 1ast midnight, by OMicors Oascy and Arustoin, Tho trio entered the storo by gomng up on the roof of a vacant building adjoining, and thenco through tho wouttlo of Mr. Hunt's bulding into the atore.

Important Decision on the New Bankrupt Law. Mr. Bcammon Has the Law on His Side, Miscellaneous Businesa. MR, SOAMMON GOES FREE, The queslion in regard to the practice un. dor tho amonded Bankrupt Ilaw ns to tho timo when $ho consont of ono-third i value and ono-fourth In amount of tho creditors should bo obtained, was conoluded yostorday, Tho questlon was raised Thursday inthe case of J. Y. Scammon. His attornoys wishod the Judgo to makoan order that the potitioning creditor should amond his petition so an to show that one-third in valuo aud ono-fourth in nmount of his oroditors had consonted to the commencoment of tho procoedings. This was resisted on the ground that the law did not roquire if, ot loast in casos alroady bogun, and thot 1t was in sufliciont timo after the dobtor had filad a list of his creditors sud obtainad a rule nisi. Yostorday Mr. U. P. Smith continmod his avau- mont of the day boforo. Ho held that the new provision was & mattor of defouso and avoldance, If it wore not rogarded eo, it would let open the door to great fraud and Injustico, as it was somo- timos nocossary, oa in tho cuso of an absconding dobtor, to filo s potition without » moment's time to hunt up other creditors and obtain their consent. Again, to requiro a man to state that ono-fourth in numbor and oue-third In value, of tho oroditors, had consonted, was to compel them to swear to & fact he kuew nothing about. Mr, Smith, howover, damaged tho force of his argumont fiy romarle- ing ay bo closed, that Lo was on tho opnosito #ido of tne caso in anothor petition, and that ho did not eare very much which way tho caso was decided. J. N. Jowett then srose and called tho atten- tion of tho Judgo and Barto tho clause in tho thirty-ninth section, *if such allegation be de- nied by tho dehtor,” This, ho said, was an jn- accurate choico of words. It secwed to rofor to somo previous allegation when thore was noue. An examinntion, however, would show that it was intended to rofer to tho statoment thint ong-quaiter in num- bor and onc-third 1n yaluo had joined, aud if the word '*fact” were.substituted, it would maio tho sonso olosrer. Ho thuught, fike Mr, Smith, thint it was not incumbent on croditors in cases already bogun to mako any allezation as to any particnlar numbers joining until the debsor fllod & schedulo of his creditors. Romarks wero also mode by soveral othor lawyers, Tho Judge declined to hear anything more from Mr. Ayer on belnlf of Mr. Bcammon, and rendered an upinion in thoir favor, which wo publish in full, as follows : Dy the rocent smendments to the bankrupt law, somo radical chanjes are made in tho proceedings for inyoluntury or compulaory bankruptoy. - “Tho Lhiriy-ninth cection has been roposled, and & now soctioh sulatituted, By thin section ap it now stands amendoed, variona acts are declured acts of bankeuptey, and the law then proceeds to say,thot any pereon guiity of sald acts, or any of them, *shuil Lo doepied to huvo comimnitied an act of baukruptey, aud subject to tho couditions bercinafter described, shall be udijudvud s bunkrupt on the petition of ono or more of his creditors, who shall constitute onc-fourth thereof, b least, jo number, and tho gulo of whouo dobts provable ubder smounts to at lsast ono-third of tho 0 provable, * * And the provisions of this nection aball apply o all cases of conipulsory or involuntary bankruptoy commenced sinco the 1at day of Docomber, 1873, on well as thone commenced hereaftor. And in all cases commenced sinco the 1st duy of December, 1673, and yprior to the passage of this act, as woll as. thioso commenced horeafter, the Court shall, if such allogation ny to the number'or amount of patitioning croditors bo denied, by a statement in wriling to that eitect, require bim to file in Court forthwith & full Dt of ls creditors, with their places of residence, and the suma due them respeciively, and shall sscertuin upon reasonable noticato the creditors whother one fourth fn numbor, and one-third in amonnt have po- titioned thut tho debtor be adjudiod bankrupt." TTho quustion now raised 1n whethor cases pending which hinvo been comnenced sinco the 16t of Decemn~ ber Inat can progeed without an smeudment of tiie pe- tition, 0o oa to show sflirmatively that the raquislte nuniber of creditors desire the debtar to be adjudi cafed bankrupt, ur must the debtor i cases ob- Jectin the first instsuce and fllo a sclicdulo of his creditors ? ‘Thero is no doubt in my mind that in now cases the petition must show afirmatively that tho requirite aum of croditors join "fn tho petation, Not tliat the creditors “petitioning must aswear positively that they conslitute a fourth fn number and third in valne of a debtor's creditors, but they should at loast nllego it according to their best infor- motion aud bolief, because wo alf koow that debtors frequently miestate the amouut of their dobts to their creditors, and oroditors bave no meaus in the first ig- stance of'verlfying tho truth of tho deblor'sstatoniouts to thom, So that I think anallegation that thosa peti- tioning constitute a fourth {n number of the cieditors, and a third in valuo of the provable dobts would make a good primia facle cuso 20 ‘ar a8 this clauso {s con- corned, If the debtor comce fn and denies this slicgation, then bLe can bo ruled to filo & correct 1lst of his croditors, with thelr resi dences, and the amount due thom rospoctively, aud a ttme ia given in which to obtuin tho assent of the requisite number of them to the proceedings. The evident spiri$ and intent of the ameudment s that all casos ponding, commonced since the iat of Decetber Taat, shalt conformn to, and jroceed upon, tho requiro. meilts of the luw in the ssme menncr sa now cascs, The langungo is, #If the allegatlon a8 to the numbor or amount of petitioning creultors be denied by the dobtor,” and this is declurad to apply as well to ponde ing cases as to thoee thereafter commenced, Nov, by all the annlysls from the rules of plesding, a party is not required to deny an allegation which Lisi not Leen miude, It scems to mo it would Le absurd to require a deblor to come {n and’deny tha allegation that & fourth in numbor and third in amount of his eredit~ o078 had not joinad in proceedings agalust him, whon tha record contained no such allegation, Tho cied- {tors ahiould first make tho ollogation, aud (hen It will ‘be time for the dcbtor to deny it, aud furnish a cor~ reot llst of hiscroditors, Nor do I ses thst thoro is any hardship in this, it being oloar that the proceedinge cinnot go on without tho sesent of tho requlsite number of creditors, “Iholr nsscnt seowms to mo indispensablo to ansblo the Court to refain Jurisdiction of the case, snd tho potitioning credltor moy as well amond his polftion {n tho frst iustance, by obtnine g the requislto number, os to require the dobtor 1o extllit his schedule in tho firat inatance. As I construs the law, tho debior ianot obliged to givo s achedule of bia croditors until a primo facle case is made against bim, Cortalnly a debitor agalnst whoni o now petition Ia filed, caunot be compelled to disclosa tho mamen and residences of his creditors, and the amounts due to each, without such yrims facle case being made, and I do not see why any different rule shiould apply to une against whoin procsvdings wers pending when the law pasved, > 1, therefors, conclude that, fo all cases pending, which buve boen commenced sfuce the 1at of Decem-~ Der last, tho petitioning creditor should take steps to necuro the jolning of s fourth in number and a third in anount of the creditors withiu some ressonable time, and that the debtors do not josn within such time 88 the rulo may roquire, tho proceedings ehall be dis- minsed, “Fliis anves tho rights of ereditora in nll cares where tha aimitations of the law would apply if tho petitions should be dismissed, and now procoedinge coms monced, The amondment and the construction givon will probably let Mr. Scammon out, as it is_doubtful whether tho requisito nnmber of oreditors will join.
