THE RAILROAD INJUNCTION CASE.

1t has been announced that notice of an
application for an injunction had been given
by resident of Baltimore named Tyson,
against the President of the Virginia and
Tennessee Railroad Company Gen. Malone,
to be heard before Judge Hugh L. Bond, Of
the United States Circuit Court, in cham
bers, in this city, on the 20th instant.
Much interest was felt in this proceeding
by the public in the south side half of the
State. A negotiation for large sum of
money had just been matured by the At
lantic, Mississippi and Ohio railroad COM
pany for the completion of its great line to
Cumberland Gap, and for rclaying and re-
fitting its road in every part. 1t was the
most important negotiation that had been
made for the State of Virginia since the con-
tractwas signed for completing the Chesa-
peake and Ohio road.
Some ten or twelve millions of dollars
were thus hung up; and the proceeding
was taken just at time when the utmost
mischief could be done to the railroad COM
pany, to the State, and to the great section
of the State especially interested in the
negotiation. The plaintiff was not bona
fae stoc!sholder in the Virginia and Ten
nessec company, i'll which character he
claimed to be damaged. He had purchased
his shares Give in number) i'll that company,
only few days before his bill was filed.
He had bought himself into the suit.
The bill could not have been maintained.
We are informed that it rested on neither
law, equity, nor the semblance of either.
1t seemed to have been designed for vexa-
ton merely. 1t had the effect to stop all
proceedings under the negotiation which
had been concluded in New York. The
officers of the Atlantic, Mississippi and
Ohio Company refused to proceed until this
stab at its credit had been foiled, and this
cloud could be cleared away from the fair
escutcheon Of their corporation.
They prepared promptly to meet the bill
and resist it. The President and directors
of both the Virginia and Tennessee, and the
Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio companies
came to Richmond. The State appeared
in the person of Attorney-General j. G.
Taylor. The companies were represented
by Judge w. w. Crump, and James Al
fred Jones, ESQ.,, of Richmond, and r. w.
Hughes, Esq, of Abingdon. An answer
was drawn refuting in strong and conclu-
sive terms, and with powerful and inter-
esting array of facts, the allegations of the
bill.
But strange to say, on the day set for its
hearing, yesterday instructions were re-
ceived from the plaintiff himself, to dismiss
the bill! So delay has been inflicted upon
great enterprise, and the company charg-
ed with it put to cost and vexation for no
other apparent object than wanton mischief.
There is no punishment for such things but
that which just public may infict by
frowns and condemnation. :

DEATH OF PROFESSOR SOCRATES
MAuPIN.-We announced yesterday the
sudden death, by accident, in Lynchburg,
of DIR. Maupin, professor of chemistry in
the University of Virginia. The Lynch
burg Ne,cs of yesterday, gives the following
particulars of the sad accident:
Professor Maupin, Mr.. Martin, and four other
gentlemen were returning from the fairgrounds
in an ambulance, and when near Polk and Fifth
streets, the horses became frightened and started
to runlaway. The negro driver, instead of en-
deavoring TO stop then dropped the reins and
leaped to the ground, escaping unhurt. The per-
sons in the vehicle. seeing no means of stopping
the frightened horses, also jumped out, all es.
Gaping with only slight bruises except Dir .Maupn
and Mr. Martin. The former fell to the ground
the back of his head striking rock, producing
concussion Of the brain. Mr.. Martin sustained a
fracture of the right temporal bone, and severe
confusion about the right side and shoulder and
also slight concussion of the brain.
Prof. M. died at III O'Clock on Thursday
night. He was born in Albemarle county,
but resided for many years in this city.
He was closely identified with the cause of
education and science, and to his labor, en-
ergy, and zeal many of the educational in
stitutions of the city and State owe their or
igin and success. The Wing of this city
remarks:
becoming universally known in the Common
wealth as one of the most finished scholars and
most successful teachers of which Virginia could
boast, and being also greatly distinguished as a
chemist, he was, about fifteen years ago elected
professor of chemisty in the University of Virgin
Ia, and soon afterwards chairman of the faculty.
Devoted to the interest of the University, he was
Jealous and indetatigable in his efforts 10 advance
its fortunes. He earned not only q solid and
widespread reputation as professor, but dis
played the highest administrative qualities in his
management of the affairs of that institution dll-
ring the long term of his craftsmanship

COMMENTING, in terms of sympathy
which find an echo in, every heart, upon
the recent disastrous fires at Chicago and
other localities in the West, some of our
city papers speculate upon the prospect of
these sad yisitahons turning the tide of inn
migration to Virginia, incoming foreigners
probably being deferred from going West,
and possibly families who have lost their
homes in the Inflated localities, turning
their faces to Virginia.
In this connection we hear the old famil-
lar cry of welcome. We would receive as
we should, that addition to our population
sent by Providence, with cordiatity and
kindness, and would endeavor to make Vu-
ginio a pleasant home TO them.
Little do those who utter these pleasant
syllablcs, realize tie stuff Of which the
hardy men are made who have carved the
cities and villages of the West out Of the
primeval forests or they are insincere in
what they say; or their actions in the past
are no indication of their intentions for the
future.
The men who cross a stormy ocean in
search of liberty under Republican institu-
tions, will avoid State where it is boldly
announced that Republicnaism is bm a
name, and where social rank is not only the
stamp, but the c,nrea unlue Of man.
The men who have made the West what
it is, and who are following the star Of en-
pire on its westward way, will not be de-
ceiyed by such an ignis fatuus as is dane
ing over the inhospitable social and financial
quagmires of Virginia, under its present
rule or ruin policy, and proclaimed to be a
cordial welcome. The tide of immigration
will not set in Yirginiawards until there is
assurance of more federation, let alone cor
dial welcome than has hecn extended to
those who have thus far sought homes
within her borders.
