annum more than he is receiving here if he

of the financial difficulties under which it has
been lahoring for some time, aud place it upon a

TnE CoNcERT To-MOnnow NlGHr.-There are
still few seats, VIC understand, that have rot
been taken for the brilliant entertainment an.
nounced for tomorrow night. They should be
at once secured by those desiring eligible seats,
sby tomorrow evening there will be none to
be had. There Gun be no humbug about
this concert The reputation which this com
pany sustrins all over the country, forbids
any fear of this kind; and we risk nothing in
promising those who may visit Washington Hall,
Tomorrow evening, that they will never have
reason to regret the money or the time thus spent
Such another opportunity may not be presented
in long time, perhaps never, and the present
should be improved. We hope and believe there
will be an assemblage present on this occasion,
as will show our citizens do fully appreciate the
performances Of this cnviable company.

TnE DECISION OF CHrEF JUSTICE fancy IN THE
WHEELING INJUNCTION Cash. the BALTIMORE
Patriot, of Monday afternoon, We find the fol-
lowing synopsis of the decision of Chief Justice
fancy, in the case of the city of Wheeling VS..
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, be.
ing an application for an injunction to prevent
said company from repeating the extra dividend
resolutions, passed some weeks ago. The de-
cisiou was pronounced orally, at the opening of
the United States Circuit Court on Monday
morning:
The Court said its first impression was right
that the question of jurisdiction was not before
the Court, but whether the Court would grant
an lnterGocutory injunction to prevent the repeal
OF the resolution declaring the extra dividend.
The proceedings in Court of Chanccry of the
United States are not like those of a State Court
iHaSnluch as they are regulated by the acts of
congress. In State Courts they grant the in
functions and the arguments come up on a mo-
uOn 70 dissolve. In the United States Courts
!ney apply for an injunction and the argument
Is upon the granting of the Injunction, and the
Court can deny or refuse il in the first instance
Inc opinion further states that the answer of
thS railroad Company was putin under miss

the Company could not bring it's differences and

son the corPoTation) made the dividend, and
that same person, here in Court is parry to this
suit. IL the Company committed errors, it was
the duty OF said Company, in its corporate ca
paeity, to correct them.
The answer TO the hill did not admit or deny
thelegality of the dividend. The same person.
or persons, who made the dividend are here in
court. The corporation has made this dividend,
aud how can it deny tho fact. That part Of the
answer was inconsistent, for they say in these
resolutions adopted by the Directors that they
made it They cannot admit ono fact here 5un.
