DEATH IN THE GREEN ROOM.

On Saturday evening while one of the largest and
most brilliant audiences seen in America was enjoy
ing the splendid performance of LINDA d Chamouni in
the Philadelphia Academy of Music there was scene
Of startling contrast behind the curtain very worthy

long experience, very valuable, died suddenly in

disease of the heart 1t shocking and solemn in
sdent and created great deal of agitation among the
performers especially among the ohorsters who had so
long been associated with her and accustomed to fol-
low her directions in the performances.
1t was some time before the singers could recover
composure sufficiently to enable them to GO on But the
vast audience before the curtain knew nothing of the
sad tragedy that had occurred and it was not deemed
advisable to inform them of it. There was deay of
ten fifteen minutes in the commencement of the ner
formance but then the curtain rose and the Swiss vii
layers appeared smiling and gay in their rustic costume
and thought that within few yards Of them Law

BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD.

The Board of Directors Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, at special meeting held Monday dselam-
ed by decisive majority the that had been fled
in reply to the writ of injunction sued for by the City,
and directed the counsel employed to oppose
cessary or technical delays to early decision in the
case of the thirty per cent bond dividend. Practically
by this action, the company refuses contest the app
cations for nuncons against the extra dividend asked
for by the City and State and viii allow these eases to
go against by default At the time the company
took measures to defend itself against the injunction
asked for by the city of Wheeling in the United States
Circuit Court This injunction, will be recellected
for purpose directly the of those asked for by
the City and State, the latter being prevent the
summation of the bond dividend whilst the former is to
restrain the company from repeating its action in rea
ton to that dividend. The company, therefore now
ceases to defend its right to declare that dividend and
goes into court the question whether it may not
consider its act and resend the resolution declaring the
dividend In this decision the City and State represen
tations united and for the present least have
Withdrawn the active control of the road from the hands
of the stakeholder directors.

ATTEMPT TO REMOVE JUDGE.-Several of the Boston
papers chronicle certain preliminary proceedings on
Tuesday having the removal of Judge LoRINe as an OBJ
ec This action is based upon the fact that the Judge
yenured to perform what he conceived to be his sworn
duty in the case Of Anthony Burns The Journal thus
presents the matter:
The Committee on Federal Relations sat yesterday
afternoon IN the hall of the House of Representatives to
listen to arguments in relation to the petitions for the
removal OF Edward G. Loring from the office of Judge of
Probate Brief speeches made in behalf of the pc
itioners by j. Ingersol Bowditch and John w. Brown,
Esqs The main point in their arguments was that Judge
Loring trod the personal liberty law under his feet by
acting In the woold capacity of Judge of Probate and
Slave Commissioner
The provision Of the law upon which the petitions
Tor the removal of Judge Lorng founded singu
ar instance OF political zeal oyerreachng itself and los
ing all by grasping too much The fourteenth section
on the personal liberty bill provides that any State Judge
who shall for ten days continue hold office as United
States Commissioner shall be deemed to have violated
good behavior to have given for loss of public
confidence, and furnished sufficient ground other for inn
pcachment or for removal by address This is plainly
unconstltHonal as it is attempt to consrue the Bill
OF Rights by statute which the Legislature cannot do

the act is constitutional
