BeraIdse SnObism

Washington correspondence Boston Jour
nal: Zone of the characteristics of Washing
ton society is the passion for the display of
armorial bearings. Mr.. Spofford has good
collection of books on heraldry in the con-
gressional library, and when old man Snob
bought his way into the house of representa-
tives, his daughters soon found the arms of
Sir Hugh de Snob, who was knighted by
them. as the jackass took possession of the
lions skin, and the Snob arms have been
made to do much duty. The lion rampant
as a crest, with the shield bearing three
chevrons azure on a field gules, is painted on
their carriage doors, Is stamped on their note
paper, is engraved on their silverware, and is
embroidered on their parlor fre-screen. Yet
they have neither obtained these armorial
bearings by royal grant, by hereditary descent,
or by capture. 1t is obtaining responsibility
under false pretenses."

The Wabnsh Halfway Company.

TOLEDO, April 3.-The Commercial, of
this morning, has the following in regard to
the recent suits against the Wabash railway
company in the alleged interest of holders of
bonds of the old Toledo and Wabash railroad
company and including the application for
the appointment of a receiver for the Wabash
railway company. Information has been re-
ce1ved at the Office of the Wabash railway
company here that the recent erroneous ac-
counts of the legal proceedings against the
company ate all traceable to one OF the part
ners IN firm of brokers in railroad securities
in New York. These accounts are calculated
to iDjuriously effect the stock of the corpora
ton, and their frequency Is thought to denote
the existence of a desperate short interest
The protested object of the suit is to fasten
upon the Wabash railway six hundred thou
sand dollars of unsecured bonds, issued in
1862 by the old Toledo and Wabash railroad,
and on which no interest has been paid for
several years. New bills are filed weekly,
and One-sided accounts are Immediately sent
out. Five different attempts In as many
years to fasten these bonds upon the Wabas a
road have already failed, and none of the
! recent proceedings have given thus far any
promise of different result.

Radical Rage.

The new apportionment of Indiana into
congressional districts by the Democratic leg
islature has thrown the Radical rampants
into a fierce rage. As these districts will now
stand, the Democrats, basing the calculation
on the vote of last year, will have nine GER
tain districts and the Republicans one, while
three are left ia doubt. 1t should be borne
In mind that the Democrats have Blk repre-
sentatives from Indiana IN the present house,
out of thirteen, though they carried the
State at the last election by nearly fifteen
thousand. For years the State was most in
famously gerrymandered by the Morton Re-
publicans. For long while the Democrats
could Only secure three or four representa-
tives, though they lacked but few votes of
carrying the State. One district alone, in
the southeastern part of the State, was
carved out especially to keep Mr.. Holman
out of congress. 1t was over one hundred
miles long, and the people in the lower end
of the district never saw or heard of the peo-
pie at the upper end. OF course, in the eyes
of righteous Radicalism, it is revolution
ary' for the Democrats to correct this wrong.
