“ Mr. Justice Harlan there said:
'It is clear from the above clauses, construing them all together, that the right of removal, at any time before trial, on the ground of prejudice or local influence, is restricted, by the act of 1887, to suits in which there is a controversy between citizens of different states; also that such right, in suits of that character, involving no Federal question, now belongs only to the defendant who is a citizen, or to the defendants who are citizens, of a state other than that in which the suit is brought. ”

“ The 1st subdivision of § 639 of the Revised Statutes was a re-enactment of the 12th section of the judiciary act; the 2d subdivision, of the act of July 27, 1866 [14 Stat. at L. 306, chap. 288] ; and the 3d subdivision, of the act of March 2, 1867. The act of March 3, 1875 [18 Stat. at L. 470, chap. 137, U.S.C.omp. Stat. 1901, p. 508] , repealed the 1st and 2d subdivisions, but left subdivision 3 unrepealed. Baltimore & O. R. Co. ”
