GEORGE €, SMITH.

Judeo Drammond delivered his long-expected @ecision vesterday morning in the matter of tho sula on George C. Smith to show csuse why be shon!d not pay over to the Assignee of the State Insurance Company the sum of about £157,C00. ‘The facts of the cass are yet familiar, and will also be found stated in the opinion, which isgiven in fall as follows: I bave come to the conclusion that the rile to stow caure shall be made absolute, eudject to come qualifi- cationr, Whils the bankrupt proceedings were pending tn the D.strict Court, 2 stipulstion was made in that Court ‘Tuctween the prties toa rulo which had been entered requiring George C, Smith and others to show cause why the eum of $112,078.24 should not be paid_to the Ataiguee of the bankrupt, that the rule sonld be dis- charged on the payment cf $157,613.12, The stipals- fion was made subject to the approval of the District Court.

South to pay over to the As- Hignee the balance of the money in his hands. Tho minapel objections made to this are: First, that Bhuth’ the Treasurer of the insurance compsny, dis- putes tke amount due, a8 weli as the right of the 4s- fignee to demand payment, and, therefore, eo sum- mary a way of givng relief fs not allowatile, the party peiug thireby deprived of # regular trial or hearing, aud of the privilege of 3] or of a writ of error. Second, tiat the creditors who ask that tho rule shall be made absolute are estopped from doing so becante Rie accepted a dividend oat of the money paid under the stivul.tion, ‘The oicers of the insurance company and of the bonk were the en-ne, George C. Smith being one of the principal mano,ers of both, and it was manifestly their purpose to use the capital of the insurance company aud. any funds that it might buve on band in the in- terest of the bank,—that is, to operate the latter with the money of the’ former; this is the explanation of tke unecrufulous appropriation of the United States tonds b-longing to the Company to the necessities of the bank, and to which George C. Smith was a party by direction or sanction. ‘Tae money of the insurance company wes deposited toits awn credit with the bank, The Treasurer, by the by-laws of the Company, had control of its fands. The depcsit and the use of the funds were with the knowitdge and consent of the Treasurer.

He was the Treas- urer of the Company, « bankrupt, subject to the prdera ef the Court in bankruptcy, ‘The fact that an officer of the Company may question the amount of the claim, and even deny ths right of the Court to order‘bin to pay, connot deprive the Court of the pow- ex to Frotoct the creditors, A corporstion acts through Sts officers, and the Court acts on the corporation by the same manner, It it were the case of an individual Dankropt there could be no doubt of the power and duty of the Court, and a corporation cannot claim for Its officers an immunity not conferred on = natural ® ‘Tho right of the bank to prove up fis clsims was ‘partly on the ground that they were ed with the money of the Company then in the in the manner al stated, and the parties who bad been concerned in that tion were mananers and trustees of the Company* and therefore whet they did must inure, if to the benefit of any one, to that of the psny. It may be proper, therefore, in this view of the case, to consider what- ever was pzid icr those claims a s deduction from the amcurt inthe hands of the bank and of the Treasurer. ‘ It seams to me that, under the facts established in this case, the Treasurer cannot claim exemption from {ability on account of the tosbility of the bank to re- ‘spond, He was a party to the fraudulent oombins- kion entered into, ta deprive the creditors of tne Com- ny of the. assets which justly belonged to them.

BILLIARDS, BAW BEATS BUBLEIGE. : The fourth match game for the championship of the North and Southwestern States was played last evening in tho Academy of Music, on Hals:ed street: The diamond badge, which indi- cates the supremacy referred to, was then for the first time made the object of a contest in the Northern States, tho previous three matches having taken place in New Orleans. ‘The badge was fitat won, a8 will be remembered, {in this city in April Isat, whea the J. M. Brunswick & Balke Company put it, with severs! money prizes, up for competition. The players at the tournament were Maggioli, Miller, Hos, Burleigh, Shaw, Carter, Gallagher, Honing, Liverman, Parker, snd Ithines, and tho emblem was won by Miller by main strength rather than by skillful play. "After the couclusion of the tournament Mil- Jor was suffered to remain wn possession of the badge undisturbed only s short time, when Rhines wont down to Now Orleans after it, and came home without it,—a resolt which Dump's bad condition pbyatcally had more to do with than Miller's play. < ay Withia the specified timo Mageioli challenged for the badge, and, on mecting bis former an- tagonist, Miller, beat him with comparative ease. Burleigh, the ho'der of the badge until last night, was third cha!longer, and Dec. 9 last mot Maggioli at New Orleans, and beat him 135 points in 500, making an average of 9 23-53, The badge having thus gotten up into the Northern country. Shaw challenged for it, being encouraged thereto by the fact thatthe bad been baying good Jack with Carter, and that he was undoubtedly playing a better game than fora tong time before. ‘The betting before the match evidenced that the eporting men had very little choice, but still that they rather preferred Burleigh. The attendance was as good as the size of the house would permit, and was in the main orderly and decent in be- havior, Umpires were dispensed with, and the referoo’s chair was satisfactorily filled by Heary Rbines, the handsome. Charles Matthews marked the game. as he has many apotherin the billiard history of Chicago. i ‘The game was announced by Ar. T. Z. Cowles, who said that it was 500 points for $500 and tha championship badge of tho Northweat and the Southwest. At 8:23 the plavers STRUNG FOR THE LEAD, which wis won by Burleigh, who scored on tho lay-off but failed on a kiss shot, and Jeft the balis well for Shaw, who tao 15 and slipped up on a eimple singie- Cushion carom. in the fourth inning, after both sides had missed on s couple of easy shots, Bucleigh got G6 and was put out on a four- cushion for position. After Burleich bad put up 7 at the next aitempt, Shaw drew three rounds of app'ause by that oumber of hard shots, After bis next failure Burleigh marked small runs and left what seomed a run-giving position for hg antagonist, but they got away for 6. The Chicagoan opened his ninth inuing with a ratcler round the table and within e few shots made a huddle and scored 17 out of it, that being the Jargest run of the game so far. Shew opencd his terth torn with a very difficult five-cusbion shot which, with resulting position, yielded bim only 11. Burleigh opened the succeeding inning with a fino leave, which he was_ working well enough when he froze at 11, and failed to count on the iay-off. x Tho Chicagoan showed a beantiful gathering shot in the beginning of the thirteenth inning, and, with the balls in the corner, seemed on the lucky road whet he slipped up on a masee. In hia half of the came inoing Shaw seemed for tho first time to wake up, sod played well for 16, his beet up to that time. Burleigh followed with 10 and shortly after with 11, taking him to 97. Shaw came in bis eighteenta mning with his firet fine work of the evening, and succeeded in turning before bis opponont, His run waa a lightly-played 38, nearly all madoin the upper right-hand cornet. Ibis seemed to work upon Burleigh’s fealings, and he mado a pretty ralls, Fielding him 21 pomnts,-all captured in the lower right-hand corner. This made a second call necessary, and showed Barleizh again in the lead 118 to 109. It was bat a momentary triumph, however, for Shaw, aftor a prelimmary shot or tio, got the wanderers in tho lower left- haud corner, and worked them across tbe lower rail and up the side until he had piled up 63 by very clever nursing, ending ion a freee and a miss from the lay-off. ‘This put Shaw's score to 172, and his averaye to 814 near- ly. Batleigh began his twenty-second inning with the prettiest shot of the aes and followed it up to 20, carrying bim to 144, After a couple of no-accounts, Shaw started in for a big run in the eame piace that his other was mado, and, after putting up 23, froze, and cuunted from the spot, but cessed after he bad caused the second call.’ which was: shaw, 201; Burleigh, 145. Shaws averaze was then 81g. Burleigh opened bis twenty-tifth ioning with need of 8 ruo, and the evident determination to make one. Hisruo was as fine billiards as any one could wish to see, mainlv made on tho lower end rail, his excelient judgment in returuing the ob- ject ball enabling him to keep the pair well to- gether. Tne :un ended ac 53, and necessitated acall, which showed Burleigh, 203; Shaw, 201. ‘The twenty-seventh inuing took Shaw in front again, and be farther increased his lead by 10 in his pext inning. In the thirtieth inning Bar- leigh captured the lead fora moment with 14, but Shaw took it back with 4, oaly to have THF STRINGS EVEN aT 231 in the next inning. Even allwsa the showin: in the next inning. A great bit. of good luc! happened to Burleigh in his thirty-third inning, when, in playing for a round-tho-tablo, he was first kissed off and then on again. This double accident gave him the baljsin the oapper right- hand corner, where he improved them along the end rail in mest beantiful style, sending one and another up and back until he bad put up 87, which caused a call of Burleigh, 821; Shaw, 234, with the leader's average at nearly 10. An intermission of ten minutes was then had, the only perceptible effect being to lessen the average by cooling off the players. The first double figures after tho break were by Shaw, who made 10in bis thirty-seventh turn at the balls. Matters then lagged a httle till Shaw, on his fortieth ioning, put in some exceltent work, and, aided by 3 most: horrible scratch at his thirty-third shot, put up47 points, freezing at his forty-sixth and counting —‘ thereon. This put bim to 296, and left his antagonist at $33. Four innings further on Burleigh came ‘up with a finely aud quickly played 20, which carried tim to $55. In his forty-third inning Shaw put on record au- other frightful scratch,—the oxact parallel of the one in bis fortiath inning. This uncalied- for good Inck on his sixth shot enabled him to increase his run to 67, necessitating a call of Shaw, 366; Burleigh, 355. After the latter had made a pretty gatheriug-shot and fallen down on a comparatively easy one, Shaw took the balls in a very easy position, and by fine play put up 33, giving him a lead of 44, with the call at 401 for Shaw and 957 for Burluigh. With this odds against him, Burleigh made as nervy @ tup as bes ever been geen on a table, and sent 37 buttons to the good in splendid style. This put him within 7 points of bis ad- ye:eary, who was at 401, The latter seemed to have everything bis own way, and, after getting the balls on the lower end rail, worked ont as shortly and well executed 57 as has erer been seen in French billiards. Tnis put him to 458, or Gi abead of lis adversarv. Chicago came at once to the rescue, and, afrer balt-a-dozen fine position ehots, got the balls in the lower left hand corner, where ho put in 55 28 pretty ones as ever wera secu. By some side-rail play after- ward ha got his azgregate bp to 75, which ne- cessitated the following call: Burleigh, 409; Shaw, 458. Shaw eeemed to weaken, but after he had missed and Burleigh bad made 4 he put up 5, and then again 3, and the score was 473 all on the 52d ining. From this point to the end of the game the re- porter is sorry to sav that it looks as if Burleigh didn’t want to win the match, and bis scoro shows it. In the absence of positive proof, it is hard to make the sesortion that THE MATCH WAS BOLD, but the only thing that can be allowed to the loser is that be had every apposrance of baving given away the match4or somo puspose to bim- seif best known. The losers, and even unpreju- diced persons, certainly, and with good reason, believed thie, and it is due to the betting public to make an investigation of the subject. Itis said that not a dollar of the main stake remained after certain law proceedings which were nad agsinet it, and if this be so it gives a sort of reason for tho belief. It is to be noted in this’ connection that, when the intermission came, betting was two to one on Burleigh, and, if the game had been played bonestly up to that time, itatforded an excellent chance to make a stake. ‘It is certain that the belicf in dishonest prac- tices waa very general last evening, and it is due that tbe refereo take action in the matter at once. If his beef coincides with that of those men sho do not believe in corrupt practices, then it is his plain duty to declare all bets off. Even if be thinks this too radical a measure, the Teast be can dois to investigate matters, and, in ‘the meantime. forbid the payment of all wagers, Mr. Rhines must do something at once in the Premises, the more so that ho has always been considered an honest billiard man. +, Owing to the peculiar.character of the gamo, figs is useless to give the score..

Commeut would be thrown away. ‘The club which adopted the ‘ protest” alo passed a resolution sdvocating an admission fee of 25 cents, and refosing to play with clubs that charged more than thet. ‘This is the wornout old siory of the self-called ‘father of tie game.” To view of the doings of the Phiindel- phia Club last year, THe ‘Tripuxe thinks 25 cents sdmission to their games euough—consid- ering the chances as to whéther they propose to play or sell out. One of the most extraordinary recommenda- tions of the season is made by ‘the veteran.” He wants the League clubs to go into the Na- tional Association, because they can contro! it, and im the same breath be shouts out tora full attendance on the same Convention of ail the cluos in the country, professional, semi-professional, and all the rest. Good time tae eignt League clnps would have * ¢ontrol- ling” itty or sixvy ike the Live Oaks, Covitig- tons, et al. ‘Eho ssme paper ssys that Tae Tripuxe, while givin- ‘\e figures of the Chicago receipts in New u..en, does not give the Bartford receipts in Chicago. This is amply untrue. The figures forall the Eastern games played by the Chicagos and the Chicago games by the other clubs for 1874 avd 1875 were given in these columns Nov, 21 iast. At that time it was shown that the New mid the Chicagos 380 a game as gate money, while it was noted that the Hartfords that sum for game. Now that tho been brought up, it is say that the Chicagos received in Philadelphia an average of $58 per came with tae Philadelphias, which was the smallest average paid them by any club,—smalier than the Now Havenoe, Atlantics, Hartfords, or Mutuals. Atthe sama time the Chicazos paid, ap avorage of five times as much as they ro- ceived. In answer to the Philadelphia Club's loud pro- test the St. Louis Hepubtican says: Whether a reply to this dicument is tobs made we cannot state, but the fact {s that the “ Quakers” have suffered some very suspicious imputationa for officiul conduct Isat season, and wo have no doubt the “League” had excellent reasons for making an cx- ample of them, Steps in the direction they have taken were abwolutoly necessary, and they bave been made we know in the best interests of tho national game. Any reference to the prejudice or good faith of the manegements now in the League js uncalled for, as the geatlemen composing them are entirely above reproach, and their action has been for general juterest, severely a6 it may have fallen upon the Quakera, their — smaliest i has TAPS. ‘The Seoretary of the New Haren Club was in the city Inst week and bad a covference with the President of the Chicagos, to whom he appiied all the arguments known 10 favor of allowing his club sdmission into the League. It is under- stood that the anewer of the Chicago Club man- agement has not been given to the application ; and 19 further said that the Hartfurds, Bostons, and Athletics, are in favor of the admission of the New Havens. ‘The emissary went from here to St. Louia, with the intention of visiting Louis- ville and Cincinnati Lefore returning, While there is no wish to prejudice any club's cause, it may be well to suggest that some car-fare would lave been saved and just as much good accom- plished if the New Haven man had staid at home. Spalding bas rove into the base-ball business —or will soon be—at No, 118 Randolph street. The only members of the Chicagos who are now in the city are Spalding, Gleun, McVey, and Addy. ——= TrE TURF. THE GREAT $30,000 Rack aT SAN FRANCTEOO. The great 4-mile heat race for a parse of $39,- 000, under the management of the Pacific Jock- ey Club, will probably be run over the course of the Bay District Fair Grounds Association. Tho purse is divided into four prizes, of $15,000, $6,000, £5,000, and $4,000 respectively. As there were eight entries at 83,000 each, even af- ter deducting the amounts allowed for expenses to the Eastern horses, the generosity of tho Pacific Jockey Club is rather more apparent than actual. The following are the entries and the weights to be carried : ‘M. Walden’s ch, b. Revenue, Jr., aged, by Revenve, jar] bh.

The race was a bogus one, a3 several of the horecs were let in without pay- ing entry, and the repeated postponements, finally, till Christmas, proved the swindle. The money ‘vas all locked up in the pool-box, snd as nearly all the horses had the epizootic, and the conditions under whien betting men had mada their investments were altering daily, the trans- action caused much svandal. Finally, though too late to saveits good namo, the Pacitic Jockey Club declared the race and bets off, and opened a new stake, whose conditions and entries haya been descnbed above. ‘THE RIG cracorr, The officers of the Cleveland Club, Bnffslo Park, Utica Park, and Hampden Park, met in- formally at the Fifth avenues Hotel, New York, Feb, 12, and interchanged viows in regard to a programme for the Sentilateral for 1876. It was agreed that Mr. George J. Whitey, President Rochester Association, should be requested to call a meoting of the Cleveland, Buffalo, Roches- ter, Utica, Poughkeepsie, Hartford, and |Spriog- field managers, at Rochester, in March, to con- clude ail arrangements, ‘Those present at this informs! meeting were in favor of oach Agsocia- tion offering $25,000 in purses, making the mag- nificent sum of $175,000 for the whole number, The Hartford plan for eutries eeemed to bo in favor and will likely be adoptod, and the opinion that they should offer free to all 2:20 and 2:23 purses was unanimous. Speaking of this meeting and the general pros- pects WidXes’ Spirit says: In regard to the closing entries there was x diversity of opinion, and we think. considering the large num- ber of horees in Eateru New York and New England, that Poughkeopsie, Hartford, and Springfield would eooure Larger eutrics by closing after the Cleveland and Buffalo meetings. Mach might be s.ud on this sub- Ject, but we think the Western assoclations would get mote Western horses, and the Eastern sssociations more Eastern ones, on this plan by ali closfag entries at the same time, ‘and variety in the fields would add to the interest inthe contests, We hope the stewards will conclude to give but thres moneys in pursés, di- viding 80 as to give the first horse 70 per cent, the sec- ond 20, and the third 10, The reduction in pursea is a good move, snd the Hattford plan will insuro large entries, We predict fhere wil ba moré good horses on the furf this eeason than ever before. scars.

Acolored man named Yeats, of Springfleld, IL, was lucky enough to get a colt, threa years ago, from a very inferior dam, the sire of which was Mambriao Gift; ana now the owners of thar stallion, Nyo & Foster, of Flint, Mich., have bought the colt from Yeats for 22,500.
