AGAINST THE READING. The Biddies File a l'etltien In the Circuit Court. Philadelphia, Jan. 20. Themas A. Biddlc, Harry Peale, Henry W. Biddle and Alfred Biddle, trading as Themas A. Bid die & Ce., filed a bill iu the United State circuit court this afternoon against the Philadelphia & Reading railroad com pany. Their purpose is te establish the status of the deferred iucome bends before further payments therefer shall be made by this firm, which new holds $49.1,730 worth of the bends. The petitioners aver that they subscribed for these bends upon the statements of officers of the Reading company that the legality of their issue had been passed upon by the court. The petitioners then relate the terms upon which the bends were issued and further state that they are informed that money paid by them for the bends subscribed for may be lest; that the proposed issue of bends will hereafter be decided te be invalid, and that any money paid therefer simply constitutes a debt due them by the company ; that it is doubtful whether or net the bends are au thorized by the chatter of the company, aud whether or net the decree made by the court directly or indirectly authorizes the issue of the bends mentioned. The petitioners further say that they have subscribed for aud been allotted $90, 000 deferred bends, by reason of the bends of the company held by them, and ask tbe court te grant au injunction tcstrainiiig the company from forfeiting any allot ments of deferred bends proposed te be issued te petitioners and from impairing their rights te the bends' allotted until the proceedings new pending touching the validity of the bends shall 1)3 finally decided.

' I desire te call through your courtesy upon ex-Secretary Fish who was longer iu Grant's cabinet than ex-Secretary Robe son by ene month, both of them having been with Grant during both of his terms) te correct 3Ir. Weed. 3Ir. Weed will re member the very delightful banquet which the lata Geerge Pcabedy gave te General and Mrs. Grant at the Fifth Avenue hotel en the evening of Friday, March 22, 18G7, and some months prier te the Leng Branch meeting. I had the honor of sitting at the table net far from Mr. Weed, who may recall the delight with which he hailed the first shad of the season broiled a la maitre d'hetel, and possible may remem ber the renunescenccs he gave of his youthful days in the eighteenth century at Athens en the Hudsen, when he used te net shad as deftly as he afterwards netted "Statesmen." Mr. Weed may also re member the attentions which he paid te a turban dc peulels aux truffes. Among the guests were, en Mr. Pcabedy's right. Geu- eral urant, anu at his Iett Admiral iurra gut, next te whom was Mrs. Grant with Bishop McIIvanine, next te General Grant aud then en alternate sides, Attorney General Evarts, Mrs.Picrrcpent, cx-Gover-ner Jehn H. Clifferd, Mrs. Gee. Bancroft, Mrs. Jehn Jacob Aster, Mrs. Leuis J. Jeu niugs,Miss Clinbrd,Gencral Perter,General Andersen of Fert Sumter fame and Mr?. Wetmore. At ether tables sat 3Iiss Weed, Mrs. A. T. Stewart, Mr. Jehn Jacob As As eor, Miss Fish, ex-5pcaker Rebcit C. Wiuthrep. Mrs. Farragut, Mr. Gorge Bancroft. Mrs. Judge Roesovelt, Mrs. Mc Ilvaine, Judge Edwards Pierropeut, who had net long before, as a Taiumany Sachem, sought a Democratic nomina tion for Grant, Mrs. Henry J. Raymond, Mrs General Andersen, ex- Governer Aiken f Seuth Carolina, Mis. E vaits, aud ex Senater Hamilton Fish. There were many ether less no tables, but nevertheless distinguished guests whose names I cannot recall. Mr. Weed will remember the superb dinner- service, the geld and silver dishes of Leuis XV htyic and the centre-piece, ever three feet high, figurative of cemmerce and in dustry ornamented with figures of busy cupids. Mr. Weed will remember hew felicitiettsly ex-Senater Fish speke when he gave the toast : "3Irs. Grant and the ladies of America," after which 3Ir. Gcerge Ban croft became really hnmoreus in some re marks. 3Ir. Weed did net remain long after t!.e paity of guests retired te the par lors, v here there was music and fresh cof fee, or te an ante room, where there was smoking allowed te a few gentlemen. 3Ir. Weed therefore cannot be expected te knew about the little coterie that for 20 minutes hob nebbed together iu this last named room comprising 3Icssrs. Fish, Ray mond, Pierrcpent, Evarts, General Butter field and two or three ethers. This coteiie naturally turned from conversing about philantlnepy and Peabody te politics, and dining the conversation it was that 3Ir. Fish nominated General Grant te the coteiie for the presidency, against the doubts of 3Ir. Pierrcpent, who thought General Sherman most available, and then and there 3Ir. Evarts and 3Ir. Raymond both of them fresh from conciliation and anti-stalwaitism and the brother hood of the Philadelphia convention with Governer Fish, took en themselves te open the campaign for General Grant. If 3Ir. Weed will brush up his recollections he will learn hew 3Ir. Fish seen after bade Gen. Grant geed evening in a semi-bantering way as " 3Ir. President," and seen afterwards began that series of Stuyvesant square dinners te prominent Republicans which mere than anything gave wide spicad popularity te the movement. "The leaf te supply te the political history of our country" as te the bringing forward of General Grant iu connec tion with the presidency should, be in scribed with the name of Hamilton Fish, and when Grant's first ebullition of grati tude in summoning Washburnc te the state department spent itself, it was most suitable that a second similar ebullition should summon Fish instead. I am but anticipating history when I say that this instance will prove, as hundreds of ether instauces in politics de, that Weed's success was always wen by jumping upon some ether man's thoroughbred, while the steed was a-saddling and riding it off before the jockey could come up. 3Ir. Weed's prestige was always due te his sa gacity in making early inquiries as te pop ular sentiment regarding a candidate and formulating and concentrating that senti ment in hitch a rapid and emphatic way as te claim the honors of nomination. W. K. Hallway Discrimination. tieriuaiitewn Telegraph. Governer Heyt, in his message te the Legislature of Pennsylvania at the opening of the new session, called attention brielly te a lepert which will be submitted te the Legislature by a commission appointed for j the purpose under an act passed at the last session relative te unjust freight discrimi nations en railways. On this subject the previsions of the new constitution are clear explicit and unmistakable. They require that business upon the railways of the com -menwealth shall be conducted upon fair .and equal terms te all persons; and there shall be favor hhewn te none in the rates charged, the facilities furnished, or the cars provided. This is the law of common cairiers, and scarcely needed a cenatitu tienal prevision te add additional force te it. But unfortunately it has long been notorious, net only in this state, but all ever the Union, that the way-traffic en railways is compelled te bear the whole ex pense of the companies, and consequently the rate for freight and passengers te such points aic out of all proportion te thes: charged for the through business ; this is net a mere sentimental grievance. Anthracite coal, mined here iu Eastern Pennsylvania is furnished te the manufacturers of New England at lower prices than te our own pc eple here in Philadelphia. The natural consequences arc seen in the enormous growth of manufactures in New England and New Jersey, and the strange and ap parently inexplicable limitations of growth here in our own state. This will perhaps explain te some of our readers hew it happens that all the miner cities and towns of Pennsylvania are se singularly backward in their devcleyment compared with corresponding cities in New EnglandjNew Yerk, New Jersey and the West. Occasionally some intelligent writer for the public press is feumd de ploring the diminution of the poupula peupula poupula tien of the agricultural districts of this state, yet without perceiving that the natural cause of it is that all our railways discriminate against our own farmers, and in effect eiler extra inducements te them te settle in the West. If a Pennsylvania farmer remains en his old homestead, while his son gees te Iowa or Nebraska and settles en cheap land there, and both farms produce the same crops, the son has the advantage, because while- his land costs him very little money, he nets his crops te market just a? cheap as his father does. SHOT HIS LANDLADT. The Murderous Deed of a Nw Tork Prin ter. New Yerk, Jan. 20. Catherine Crene, aged 31, was shot down this morning in ner own house, .Ne. 4 Charlton street, by William Lindram, aged 30, a printer, who had recently bearded in her house, but whom she had recently turned out. The deed was prompted by a desire for revenge. Twe shots were fired, the second pene trating the brain, and she is new dying. The assassin was arrested by a citizen in l the street while attempting te escape. Measles. of Lancaster have The children extensively. them The First Pennsylvania Legislature. On the 4th of December, 1632, William Penn convened the first Legislature at Chester, the pert at that time of Pennsyl vania. Its session was just four diiys. The house is still standing where it met and is used as a cooper shop. Sixty-one acts were passed in that short session, as the body met for the "dispatch of business." One act vas against the "drinking of healths," and ene against spreading false news. It was also declared in a preamble te certain laws that they should be read as school exercises. They allowed every man te plead his own ease and Anther tried te pass a law te prevent lawyers from "plead ing for pay," lest it might " lengthen jus tice into trade." The speaker's chair is all that is left te us et the first assembly. The laws were all repealed or have beceme obsolete. JTAJtKJBTS. New Yerk Market. S'w Yerk.
