The Lewistown Gazetteobjects to the Reporter's calling the stealing oft he last ten years "Grantism." That is the pr - per term, of conrse. because the bulk of it was done under Grant's nose, in his cabinet, by his orticials and with hi* knowledge. Tweed, to be sure, was a big democratic rascal, but he was cheek by jowl all the time with republican senators and representatives at Albany, and the democrats broke fW combina tion bv prosecuting the thieves. None of the thieves of New York are out on jtawions from a democratic executive, but the great whisky ring that went to the jug for stealing millions are out through a pardon from Grant. Advices from New York, say H'* l coal stocks have been much depressed on account of a very important rumor that an injunction is to be served in New York preventing the formation ct tie coal combination. It is claimed that under the State laws of New York a com bination to advance the prices of ar.v stock is illegal, and upon that ground the Board of Control is to be attacked. The rumor caused Reading to fall and Lehigh Navigation also. The trunk line stocks also fell off. because it is reported that their prosperity is about to be af fected by another outbreak of the rail road war in the shape of a general cut ting of rates. Representatives of all the coal lines have been in New York hold ing another meeting, and it is announc ed that a combination acceptable to all parties has been effected. The Herald says the coal combination has put up the prices. Now let the people combine to put the prices down. The dead lock in the legislature is broken at last, by the House caving in I on 13 and agreeing with the senate that ail business should be taken up and treated rfe noro, or as in a new session. This back down by the House was reached by a vote of 97 to S4. The senate had put on a stiff upper lip in the matter from the outstart and went in for going oyer all the unfinish ed business of last winter anew. Our senator, Mr. Peale, stood with the minority, and was for proceeding where business ended at the previous adjourn ment. If this had been the sentiment of a majority of the senate, as it was of the House in the first place, the effect would have been that by this time the legislature could have nearly finished up its work, and made a short session of it, and saved the state a good deal of ex pense. As it is, nothing has been done — and they will now again go over all the unfinished work of last session, and to this course Mr. Peale was opposed. Outsiders and roosters inside influenced this action, so as to enable them tobring in new jobs, or get new axes on the stone. Mr. Peale stood in the minority but he was in the right. . Next fall's election in this state will be an important one, and the result will have a great bearing on the future polit ical status of our state, as well as a tell ing effect upon party prospects in na tional politics. A Governor and Lieu tenant Governor to serve four years are to be chosen; aiso a Supreme Judge to serve twenty-one years and decide the political complexion of the bench for the ensuing five years; a Superintendent of Internal Affairs ; an entire Congression al delegation; one half the Senate to serve four years, and all the members of the House of Representatives to serve two. The Legislature chosen will elect a United States Senator, in place of Sen ator Cameron, for a full term commeno ing on the 4tb of March, 1879. Besides we have a full county ticket: Sheriff, prothonotary, treasurer, three commissioners, register, recorder, and three auditors. Democrats will see the necessity of harmony and thorough organization, for the harvest is a big one, and it will re quire bard, earnest work, to carry the day. Petty bickerings must be laid aside and the good of the party in the nomination of honest and capable men must be the aim, and victory will fol low. On Wednesday of last week the wo men suffraglsta got a slap in both houses at Washington. In the Senate Mr. Ed munds introduced a resolution that "no motion shall be deemed in order to ad mit any person whatsoever within the doors of the Senate Chamber to present any petition, memorial or address, or to | bear any such read, or to address the Senate, except as parties or counsel in cases of contempt or impeachment." That was indirectly a slap in the face; but the House took positiveaction in the same direction, by rejecting, by a vote of 107 against 140, the proposition of Judge Kelley to hold a special session of the House for the purpose of allowing cers tain ladies to make oral argument at the bar of the House in fa* or of the propos ed Constitutional amendawsnt to prevent discrimination against eitizeox on ac count of sex. Now let these petticoat tramp* home and attend to such duties as be longs to their set. Their creator as Ilit tle intended they siboold have a vote as that they should sport moustache and beard. Women tht wM loaf around Washington daring tise sessions of con gress button-holing members on ti* wo man suffrage question, have far less oe the lady about them than those who stay at home and see that their household af-•, fairs are properly attended to—is the, opinion 4the Reporter. ! WE SILVER QI'KSTION /.V i ing to which all contracts had l*een en . tcred into. In furtherance of carrying out this provision of the Constitution to 1792. Congress established tho mint of the I". N„ and fixed the gold dollar to cmtain -t} grains of pure gold, and the silver dollar to contain as we have stat ed, 3711 grains of pure silver, both to be struck at the mint; and fixing the rela tive values of the two-metals of 1 to 1"> was considered to be the ratto which a,aid establish an equivalent currency, circulating indiscriminately and they should be a legal tender in payment of debts. Provision was also made for the circulation, value and re-coining of for eign coins, barge importations of for- coins were continually arriving in the I'nited States and became part ofonr circulating medium, giving to the people a silver and gold currency of intrinsic value at all times and under all circum stances—thus establishing tho federal money standard of the I'nited Mates, viz : 10 units one cent, 10 cents one dime 10 dimes one dollar, 10 dollars one eagle ; placing the currency of the coun try in a sound and healthy state and es tablishing an imm de equivalency be tween gold and siner for the purp so of increasing the specie circulation. We find in the report of K. B. Taney, Secre tary of the Treasury of the l\ S under President Jackson, dated 15 A IS'U, he recoiumeuds "that foreigu g and silver coins be made a legal tender in the payment of debts, according to their intrinsic value —that the laborers would be {iaid in gold and silver as they are most apt to stiller from warthless < r de preciated pnjwr," Ac. And secretary Taney further says, "it is apparent that gold and silver coin can be provided for the ordinary circulation below ten dol lars, it would tie advisable to extend the restriction to bank that denomi nation, for we can never be safe from the tlnctuation of the currency, until all notes below ten dollars are banished from circulation," as silver was better know n to our citizens than gold, e{e cially to the great body of the laboring people, was more convenient for small payments, and was less liable to 1 e coun terfeited, it would be unwise and unjust now to enact a law, the effect of which would be to further expel all the silver coin from the country or debase it of its relative value, when the American cur rency of gold and silver have circulated interchangably. In our former article we referred to the act of Congress con- terning the gold coins of the t*. S., ap proved 28 June 1524. this is thelirst ait, as far as we can ascertain, that overval ued gold and undervalued silver, and what was the effect? here we have it, four months aAer the approval of the act. The N. Y. Advertiser, of the3oOct* 1834 says, "This gold bill is beginning to work, one hundred thousand .-IM- nVtm 'li ter half dollars acre purchased at 1 per ct. premium /or exportation, this is probably the first movement of the out or./ tide; the inward current of gold has slopped." We thus see that the regulations of gov* eminent have an influence upon the relative market value of the two metals, and may drive either metal out of circu lation, and thiaovervaluation ofguld has driven the silver coin outofthecounlry, and inflicted upon us a flood of one dol lar notes and fractional currency. This insidious schemed establishing .1 gold standard by undervaluing the silvcrcoin and driving it out of the country, lias been on its march since IKo3, until we have seen in 1862 the fluctuation mid speculation in our gold coin ; a gold dol lar was quoted at $2,81, being one dollar and eighty one mitt above its real stand* ard value, ir r the American nicer dollar which bad been exported from this country to Europe where its intrinsic val ue as billion was at a premium; and so congress will find * fiat it is belter to leave the relative •> .1 ie of the two met als to be adjusted by competition of the market, than to attempt to fix them by a law, as no human law can establish any fixed proportion between .any two commodities in existence. L . tlit financial and commercial situat. .1 of our country since 1872, from a state of prosperity and activity in all branches of domestic industry, at one fell sw.iop we find ourselves in a more deplorable situation, manufacturing establishments and other sources of industry forced to suspend operations, thousands of labor ers thrown out of employment, real es tate reduced nearly one half in value, the public press groaning with Sheriff's sales all over the country, money at usurious interest, and ruin and bank ruptcy staring every one in the face. The passage of the resumption act to re turn to specie paymets and make gold the legal standard, give the impetus to this premature move, agravaud by the calling in, cancelling and destroying the legal tender, greenback and other paper currency. Until the people cry aloud for a repeal of the Resumption act, a re turn to the free use and unrestricted coinage of the dollar of our daddies and restore it to the position it held as a legal tender during eighty years of our existence, preserving the equality of the silver dollar with the gold dollar anil keeping both in circulation, paying the bondholders in coin according to their contracts, then, and not till then,can we look for our former days of prosperity. And we rejoice that our tulented and vigilant L T . S. Senator, Hon. W . A. VVIII - has placed this question in a nut mail, protecting the people against pec ulation uo4 fraud.

The Pipe Line Question is being brought to the attention of the Slate's lawmakers, and they will no doubt be called upon to determine whether com panies .-.hall be authorited to obtain the right of way to lay p ; i>ee for conveying oil from points of production to pointaof exportation, instead of being carried over the railroads. The only reason, if it can be called a reason, that can be urged against it, is that it wtil take just so much freight from the railroads. While it may be urged in favor of it, that transportation will thus be greatly cheapened, and the numberless consum ers will get the benefit. But this is a view in favor of the people, who usually come otl second best in a question of tins kind before the Legislature. We'll see whether this be an exception to the rule.

VICTOR EMANUEL.S FUNERAL. lmpres-ivc Service*—A Ciraud l*a gwtnt. llojue, January 17.—The fune-a! of the late King Emmanuel look place to-day i and was very impressive. The body of the dead monarch was placed on the fu neral car at nine o'clock in the morning, and the procession itarted from the Quiri . uat about ten o'clock and was headed by fifteen military detachment* with three band* ud clergy bearing upei*. The car ued at the funeral of King Charles Albert of Sardinia, Victor Emmanuel'* tather, was used on thia occasion. It was surrounded by an iron crown, the ancient diadem of Lombard King*, which was I brought from Men/* for the occasion. The car was preieded by Licutenaut tiencral Medici, the late King s hrsl aid-de-camp, mounted, who bore the Paiestro word sheathed. The car was surrounded by the guarU of honor andipecia! representatives delegated by foreign courts. It was fol lowed by Victor Emmanuel's favorite horse, riderless, military banners and a I guard of honor, eighteen detachment* of I civil dignitaries, ministers, Senators, ; and Deputies and Knight* of A nnunnata. This part of the procession was one mile long, lleside* this there were depu tations from all parts of Italy, numbering each irctu five to seven hundred. The en ire procession except Uenerai Medici was on foot. From the it moved by the Pi lUI di Spagm to the Piaxxa del Popolo, thence down Corso nearly to the end, and to the Pantheon, whera it arrived about four o'cioek. The Ecclcsiastual service was confined to nmplo absolution and ben* •diction, pronounced by Monsignor Uor m, Archbishop of the Chapter of the Church. The stone, which is to he placed in the chapel, destined for the King is a simple slab, bearing only the words, Vic tor Emmanuel, the first King of Italy " It stood between the high altar, and the aiur of St. Anatlasius. on the right as the Pantheon is entered. Over the gateway of the l'anlheun was the following inscrip tion : "Iul)r, with a mother's pride, with a daughter's grief, supplicates for the great King, who was a faithful citizen and a triumphant soldier, tho immortality of the righteous and the heroic." The procession was one hour and a half passing a given point. Costumes in officia portion, including soldiery, wc re magnifi cent, and the eflect of the spectacle was heightened by tho display of seventy tat tered banners. The Crown IT nice of Ger many, with representatives from Austria, Portugal and llaOen, walked abreast. The effect of tho music in the procession was most impressive. The Pantheon was splendidly decorated as tho Chapelie Ar dente ; daylight was excluded by the star of Italy veiling the roof. The side of the chapel ofCieaiont XI. was walled in, and draped with gold and crimson. The Pantheon in which Virtor Emman uel is buried, stands at Home in a Pia/xa between the Corso and the Piazza N'avo* na, near the centre of the anciant L'ampu* Martius. It was erected by M Aggrippa. the son-in-law of Augustus, nineteen cen turies ago, and was consecrated in 00* as a Christian church under the name of San ta Msria del Martyrs. In shape the build ing is a rotunda, 14J feet in diameter, sur rounded by a dome, the grandest in exist ence, and of which the summit is 143 feel above the pavement. In the centre of the dome is a circular opening 'JS feet in diam eter, by which the building if lighted. The most remarkable feature of the Pan theon, however, is its Corinthian .portico, composed of sixteen granite columns. The Pantheon contain* the.tombs of Rap hael, Annibale Carracci and oiler pel*-, brated painters. AUSTRIA'S CLAIM IN DETAIL. London, 'Wednesday, Jan. 10,1878. Router's telegram from Constantinople says tbo following arc the views expressed by Austria here and at St. J'ctcr.burg: Austria desires the maintenance of thjt Treaty ol Paris. Sho also wishes to pre vent Russia from gnining a prependerat ing influence. Austria will never re nounce her position as a guaranteeing power. The question relative'to the political au tonomy of Bulgaria and other conditions affecting Austria's interests as a frontier Power, and in fact, the settlement of con- 1 ditions of peace, cannot be permitted with out the participation of Austria. The foregoing declaration has been com municated by Count Zichy, the Austrian Ambassador to the Porte. Lord Derby maao a similar communication to St. Petersburg on Monday, it is believed that no previous underslaoaingj existed between Austria and Kagland- ft is stated that Russia has not yetjeommuni cated hej- terms of peace to Austria. Not withstanding the attitudo of Great Britain and Austria, it is expected that complica tions will be avoided and that Russia will arrive at an understanding with die Row ers. A later dispatch from Constantinople states that Count Zichy in delivering the declaration of Austria's views, said it did not constitute a new phaso In Austrian policy, but was merely the reiteration of the reserve already expressed by Count Andrassy in reply to the Porte's circular relative to mediation.
