GENERAL GRANT met with a grand reception in Pittsburg on Saturday. The legislative committee met him eight miles .west of the city, welcomed bim to Penn sylvinia and escorted him' to The procession to the Chamber of Com merce was an immense one, and the decorations elabOrate and elegant. Judge AosEw made the address, and what he didn't tell the General about himself is not worth knowing. In the evening there was a banquet: ' t CHIEF OCRAY, of the' tite Indians, Las 'll very exalted idea of the importance and dignity of the Capital of the country, and of the President/ ';lie eiplains that the reason he wants to go to Washington is that he considers that the centre of the universe, and he considers President HAYES to bo the Great Father and ruler of the world—the vicegerent of the Great Spirit °meal-M. Tbis idea has probably saved the lives of the Commission, and impelled a peaceful fialution of the diffi culty. THAT 'BARKSDALE;* the murderer of Dixos, at Yazoo, should go unpunished, will not disappoint any one. The grand jury of : that county failed to find a true bill. had they done so, it would have been a farce, as no Mississippi jury coilld be bad who would have rendered a ver diet of guilty. To be sure, the killing Was deliberate and cold-blooded—such as we should call cowardly assassination with our pecul ar views in the North = but in the South it was chivalrous anfi a lhiensed manner of settling personal and political difficulties. AT the late election in Boston, the nov elty of female suffrage was presented. The women were entitled to vote for School Committeemen, and about one . thousand had registered, most of whom availed themselves of the privilege, of ex ercising the right of suffrage, even in thi?, limited degree. Most of the female voters were American born, and belonged tO thO ativanced wing of:the womens' rights par ty. They were well received by the "workers" at the polls, and generally treated with deference. .* TILE FINANCIAL:QUESTION The question of the Finances would seem to be a very simple one, and S r et our Congressional Solons are as Tar from unanimity in their views as ever.- GREELEY said of Re, sumption, that 4 l. ‘ the way to resume, was to resume," and time and experi efice has proved the wisdom of the saying and the ' practicability of the advice. Yet • previous to Re- sumption, a set of wiseacres wrote essays demonstrating the manner in which Resumption should be brought about, and full of wise suggestions s and sage warnings. Some of these theories were of the wildest and most absurd character, yet they had the effect to create a feeling- of. distrust throughout the, country, and of up , prehension that Resumption was fraught with peril, and likely to pro duce some great convulsion, which should overwhelm the financial world with disastrous, consequences. When 'Resumption came, it was like the fall ing of the snow-flakesthe act was accomplished without any important manifestations, so quietly and natur ally, that but for the prognc•stica tions of the timid, it would scarcely have been an occasion for remark. .Now that Resumption has been so easy, it would not appear that neith er the path of duty p p or of principle so fai 'as the finances of the country are concerned should be indistinct or devious. The President and Secre tary SHERMAN, believing that the greenback issue of the country p is but one form of the National debt, and that as .a debt they should be eliminated, propose firstly ;to take away the legal-tender power, as the preliminaiy ot retiring them from circulation. The Republican party, which has committed itself thorough ly honest money, nevertheless has many earnest members, who through conviction, or front deference to sup posed local sentiment, hesitate to adopt the views of the President. Senator BAYARD, endorses the meas ures proposed by the President and Secretary Sitranl.t - :4, but the Western Democrats, under the lead of VoonnEs, are in opposition. This diversity of opinion, shared by both, parties, will probably prevent any financial legisiation this session. The Supreme Court may possibly settle the question by deciding that the legal-tender issue in time of peace is an unconstitutional measure, and thus deprive the greenbacks of their legal-tender character, and virtually compelling the government to retire them. Should this decision be made, as it unquestionably will, it would relieve some of our public men of the dilemma in which they are placed from a yielding to what was suppos ed to be a popular demand and neces sity, but which has only proven to be a greenback lunar.) , or an inflation folly.. The peOple of the country are in favor of ',honest money, as they are. in favor of integrity in every form and under all circumstances, and for the speedy payment of the National debt. The greenback issue, as Presi dent RATES has well said is a debt, and the evidence of a debt should not be forced upon the people as cur- rents. No party can sustain itself which trifles with the honest convic tions a the people, by asserting that the continuance of Each a make-shift is necessary,for the prosperity of the country. The issue, of legal-tenders was a necessity when we were involved in civil ,war, and though it was a - lbeasure of doubtful constitutionality, was acquiesced in because it was made necessary by the exigenpies of the times. The necessity now having passed, the government should rem edy the ; evil by withdrawing the greenbacks, and leaving the banking business• of the ' country where it properly belongs, with - the National Banks, and private bankers. It is surprit-ing that our Republi can leaders do not recognize the pub lic sentiment which so manifestly runs with the President and Secre tary SHERMAN in this matter. The inflation delusion Paci passed away, being dissipated by the business boom, as the mists of morning are scattered by the rising - sun. The greenback adherents still cling, with idiotic perverseness, to; their favor ite theory, in the face of reason and experience. As the financial delu ,sions of the prophetic theorists and financially wise . (another name for confirmed 'utilities) have been ex ploded, they have clamored with greater pertinacity for in increased greenback issue. The list refuge of those who twould inflate the currency, and preventthe business of the count: try rom settlingdolan to a substantial basis, or in keeping the - volume of greenbacks up to its present size, and by rdebasing the currency with the buzzard dollar, which the people will not have because it; is worth only 81! cents. The party which fails to come up to the -standard of morality de manded by the people will be over thrown, and our Republican - leaders should shake off their timidity and boldly speak and act.- Honest money, hard money. § - redy payment of . the public debt, is the true-financial plat form upon which to stand. , Tumot is a fair prospect that the Dem ocratic State officials . :of Maine will carry out the phit to defraud the voters :Of that State. Certificates are to be issued to enough of the defeated 'Democratic and Greenback members of the Legislature, to leave the RepubliCaus in a minority. This fraudulent majority will hate the right to decide finally on the disputed votes, and of course will not vote them selves out. Then as there was no choice for Governor by the people, Davis, Re publican; lacking a few hundred of a -majority of the whole vote, although twenty thousand ahead of his highest competitor—the fraudifieut House will send the names of GAIWELON - , Democrat, and S iiru, Greenback, to the Senate, and GpirELON will be chosen for Gover nor. ,The joint votes of the Legislature will then re-elect the present Fusion state officeis, and: the fraud , will be fully consummated. Such is the acknowledged programme, which shows the desperation awl dishonesty •of the • Democracy, and their utter disregard of the popular. will. It is but a little less culpable than the shot-gun plan as adopted by the Southern Democracy, and deserves, as it will re ceive, the reprobation of every honest citizen. • Tut Philadelphia Record is a Demo cratic paper, ind when it prints the fol lowing bitter comments, they certainly cannot be ascribed to party prejudices, however much personal resentments may influence writer. Says the Record : "The spectacle of a Et-Governor of Peniasylvania knocking like a beggar, hat in hind, at the door of Congress, whining for a seat to which be was never elected, would make the judicioil grieve were the sight less than disgusting. But jt is Mr. CURTIN'S misfortune rather than his fault that be is thus paraded before tte Nation. His habits haver made him little better than an imbecile, and in the hands of de signing men he has become a figurehead in schemes Which be would once have de noianced as infamous. It is IlcdbuttE who pulls the wires, and the elegant edi tor's mission to Washington• is to work with RANDALL in the interest of the name which is now about all that remains of a once prominent man." McCtunE, of the Philadelphia Times, is, at Washington, regulating the affairs of the Nation, as well as of both the political parties of the country. His oracular de clarations give a full insight into the pres ent condition! and prospective action of both. A late letter is devoted to the e barmssments whiCh beset the Democrat": party. The great troublei• l is that TiTI .s has his grip on the Democracy— - can not be taken and ho cannot bidiscarded." " Democratic leaders," says Sir Oracle, "may talk and consult about their candi dates with all the assumed importance of men who have the decision of the ques tion in their hands,- but when TILDEN de cides for or against a man, there will be no appeal." Avery shrevid conclusion; but one which the whole country is 'forcibly impressed with. SENATOR BLAINE is represented as- not agreeing with the recommendation of the President and- Secretary SHERMAN that the legal-tender clause be stricken from the greenbacks. He thinks it will work great injustice to a majority of the people of the country. He would let the legal tender notes alone for the present, rather than provoke an angry financial excite ment when tthe country is awakening from its business lethargy. This is in as with the prevailing sentiment at Washington, which is adverse to all finan cial legislation at this session. Mr. FORT, who denounced the President's sugges. tiod, as a-" firebrand in the Republican party," make& a mistake, as whatever difference of opinion there may be in the party about it, there is no dissension. Tax Senate Financial Committee has &sided to postpone consideration of either the trade-dollar bill or• the BAY ARD Legal-tender resolution until after the holiday adjournment, because of the deliberation • necessary' in each case. With respect to Mr. lisirsaa's resolution an informal discussion developed the fact tint Mr. BECK will have the casting vote upon the question of reporting it,to the Senate. The trade-dollar bill will prob ably bo reported In suchabape as to pro: vide that they shall bo receivable at their market value as bullion in exchange for standard dollars, and those converted by recoinage into standard dollars, shaft'be counted as part:of the annual maximum coinage of the standar4 dollar as now authorized by law, GRANT'S RECEPTION IN . PHILADELPHIA I A MAGNIFICENT OVATION ! Fifty Thousand Men in Line ! WITNESSED BY THREE-QUARTERS OF A MILLION OF PEOPLE! Special despatch to the "Reporter." PHILADELPHIA, Mc. 10, 1879. • The reeeption which' was given to Gen. 6n/ovr to-day was the grandest display and the most magnificent demonstration ever seen on this continent, and probably' of mode rn times. The line was composed Of at least 50,000 men, military, grand army posts, civic and beneficial associations, delegations from the manufacturing and industrial establishments, political ;clubs and citizens generally. Along the route. of the procession the streets were packed with people, men, 'women and children, enthusiastic in their desire to honor the Great Chieftain, who appropriately ends his journey around the world at the city from whence he set out. Lis no exageia tioti to say that three - quarters of a million of people witnessed the procession, and joined in expressing the respect in which General GRANT iei held by the American people • Punctually at 10:15 the. train .bearing the General, arrived at Somerset street. Ile was received by Mayor STOKELY, and welcomed to Philadelphia. The General was visibly affected by the warmth of the welcome extended to him, and replied briefly. Ile was then conducted to the carriage in readiness for him, which took its place in the column on Broad street. The City Troop had the honor of being assigned as escort. The procession com menced to move precisely at 10:30 A. , "headed by the military under command of General ITAWYKANFT, to the number of at least 5,000 escorting General 'GRANT, who occupied a carriage with ' Mayor STOKELY. In this division was the Councils Com mittee and invited in carriages. Then followed the Grand Army of the Republic, and,,the eighteen other divisions of this immense procession. The line of march was down Broad to 3iarket, to Fourth, to Chestnut, to Thirteenth, to Broad, to Passyunk Road, and then countermarch on Broad. Arriving at the Union League, Gen. GRANT dismounted and reviewed the procession from the Leagu9. The monster proportions of the procession exceeded all calculations ; and while' it was ailmirably organized and managed, yet i t was too large for the eight miles of the route, and it was after dark before the last division passed the League. No such demonstration has ever before been tien in this city, and nowhere else has Oen. Cr i ttiNT been met with such a manifestation of popular regard and affection. It is not possible to give the particulars of this''immense demonstation —a list of the different features would fill your columns. Business was entirely suspended, and all the population gave the day to honor the City's guest. At night he dined with GEORGE W CHILDS, the company being composed of members of his cabinet, and a few person- al friends, and a programme has been ar ranged for him covering a week, icclnd ing receptions, visits, etc A FLOOD of fire swept away the town of Red Rock, McKean county on Thursday, which is without a parallel in the history of conflagatious. An oil tank caught fire and the blazing lake of burning oil rush ed down upon the doomed town. In a brief space of time almost the entire vil lage of two hundred houses, occupied by more than that number of families, was swallowed up by the resistless element, and the names were , only chocked when tbcre.was nothing chore to feed upon. Happily, there were no livesJpst, but the destruction to property will reach a quarter of a milliori, probably, While the distress of the vast number of people who have thus been rendered homelesi is terrible to contemplate in this inclement season. TLIERE is a speculatine boom in grain. On Thursday the grain markets in the cities were excited and prices reached the highest figures yet recorded this fall for e wheat and corn. Wheat for December sold at $1.56k, Jaduary up to $1.60, and February $1.62. Corn touched 66 cents alusbel. All this speculation is on very light receipts and the smallest export de !hand experienced for some time. Grain operators seem to be strongly backed up by their faith that Europe must have our grain, and are determined that full prices should be paid. Several hundred un. charted vessels are reported to be lying at New York,Philadelphia and Baltimore, and the movement of grain to Europe is for the time—being nearly at a standstill. Tan Democratic statesmen of the Unit ed States Senate have bent their gigantic intellects to the mighty subject of the die.' tribution of the Senate patronage. The leader of the party, Judge Tatramaa, af ter due investigation and deliberation has made a report, which is to the elect that the offices have been properly and equita bly distributed. As a great' favor the three Republican chairmen of com-, mittees, are to be 'allowed to retain mes.! wagers of their °in choice. The coun try is now safe—tholigh some disappoint• . offiewseeking, hungry Confederates will probably "make Rome howl." - TnE death of the lamented CHANDLER made a vacancy in tit, Chairmanship of the Republican National Committee, and the selection of a proper successor is en gaging attention.. W. E. CHANDLER and Governor McCommit are both willing to take it. The most sensible, proposition we have seen, is that Senator CAMERON shall take Mr. KEMBLES place on the Committee, from Pennsylvania, and -be chosen as its Chairman. If this could be done, the National Committee would lot come of some service, and would be a p,werfnl aid to a Republican victory next year. PHILADELPHIA LETTER: Pn/aiaaLrura. Member 11 4 I ST% The city has been alive during the past week with the work of preparing for the reception of General Grant. The sound of the hammer hai been heard in the street's, putting np the arches which in several .. places span 'the . principal thor nghfires. The display of bunting equals that of Centennial times. Societies, or ganizations, and industrial establish ments have marshalled and organited for the grand procession to-morrow. It will be the largest and most iimposing public demonstration ever seen on this conti nent. It will beparticipated in by men of all political patties. It is a somewhat singular acrd phenomenal fact that many if not most of those prominent in getting up and magnifying _this testimonial were, during General Grant's eight years in the Presidential chair, the loudest and most bitter in denudation of his course, and particularly of the manner in which he disposed of the office. It shows that the "whirligig of time" his its compenea tions as well as its revenges, and that it is sometimes wise to restrain the expression .of Our political criticism for the I teason that we don't certainly know what a "day may brt'ng forth." Not that any fault, should befound with those who have suddenly and radically changed their opinions of General Grant. It should be accepted probably, as a tribute to his brilliant services as a general, and his shrewd and practical . common-sense_ ad ministration of public affairs. lie has been literally overwhelmed with honors abroad from crowned heads and the high est ffignitariesof the world, and has borne himself with modesty and wisdom, when the heads of most men would have been turned. The Nation honors him the more that he has honbred the Nation during his trip around the' world, and. has exalt ed the reputation and influence of the country by his demeanor and interconrse with the representative men of the for eign powers. - Before your readers will receive this issue Of the REPORTER, the week which will be given up to this reception will be nearly gone. The-General leaves Harris burg to-morrow, 16th, in charge of a,corn mittee of the Councils, and comesthy spe cial train on the Pernisylvania Ifiilroad, and is to arrive at - the Intersection Station on Broad street about 9:30 A. se., Where he will be received by Mayor Stokely, af ter which the line of parade will be feria ed, with the military and other bodies, under command of Colonel Snowden, Chief Marshal, moving at 10:30 and pass ing through the principal streets. The General, with Governor Hoyt and the Mayor, Will dismount at the Union League, and review the line as it counter marches on Broad street. Governor Hart mutt commands the military, which is. expected to parade in large numbers. The Grand Army of the Republic will be under the command of George L. Brown, Department Commander. Places in the line have been assigned to Ppsts from Bradford County as follows i Athens, seventy-five men ; Canton, 'seventy-five ; Ulster, thirty; Wyalusing, sixty-two; Towanda, thirty-five ; Granville Centre,' thirty-five; should the "boys in blue" turn out as these figures inilieaa, Brad ford County will be well represented in the procession. Besides the military, there will be many civic, military, political and benevolent orgatizations Iftthe line. The industrial establishments will be generally repre sented, as work will.be suspended during the - day. The leading manufacturers say that they will turn out at least five thous and men. The Baldwin. Locomotive Works close, and the - men will parade. So with Cramp's ship - yard, Disstou's saw works, Dolan's - woollen mills, and other equally extensive establishments. Fore most in point of numbers will be the em ploye's of Roach's ship-yard, Chester, who will carry in their ranks a magnifi cent model of the steamship Tokia. They will be two thousand in number, and will wear a neat badge and carry the various tools used iu their profession. t Independence` Hall has been decorated with bunting, and hung with the flags of all nations.. Imtndediately over the main entrance is a large oil painting of General Grant surrounded by evergreens. An arch spans Chestnut street in front of the Hall, thirty-five feet in height, profusely decorated and trimmed with evergreens. At every available point along the route Of the procession stands have been erect ed for the accommodation of those who desire to see the, procession. A seat or standing room can be had at from fifty cents to two dollars, -according to loca tion. Every window on the route is be spoken, and will be occupied. It will be seen from this brief state: nient of the prograinme that to-morrow wilt be a "big day" in this usually staid and quiet city. Tho programme occupies until Tuesday evening, December 22d, with receptions, dinners, visits, etc., and if the General does net get thoroughly "done over" by the time the honors cease, he must be case-hardened: ' Your readers shall have a full account of the doings next week. . Wonders will never cease. The latest discovery is "called the Audiphone which, if not designed for that purpose, is calcu lated to do away with ears, as the. sound is conveyed through the medium of the teeth to the auditory nerve, and by it per sons who are entirely -deaf may be made to hear. The inventor, who is a Chicago man, recently gave an exhibition of the purposes and practical uses of the instru ment at the Deaf and Dumb Asylum- in this city. The experiments were satis factory in every respect. Catherine Lew is, who was born deaf and dumb, was made to hear sounds, one of which. she could distinctly distinguish, and was ena bled to repeat the letter A, showing that she understood it by also making the pro per sign with her fingers. Samuel David-. son, fifteen years of age, who has been deaf for six years, heard a passage read from a book, afterward repeating the lines.. Julia Foley, who completely lost her hearing from an attack of fever eight years ago, heard piano music when the audiphone was placed between her teeth. She then read ham a. pamphlet, and was astonished, as she said, to hear herself speak. Other experiments were made, all demonstrating the practicability of the - audiphone for the purpose for which it is intended. . Within the last twelve months there have been struck off at the Mint 114 gold, 1,037 silver and 779 bronze medals. These included agricultural society mtdals, life saving, institute and society medals, and Grant, Lincoln, Captain Biddle and John Adams medals. The coinage of silver dollars during the year has been continu ous and unusually heavy.

The Senator went to New York on Thursday tosarrest the M. P. under. the New York laws on a criminal process, in order to prevent his departure for Europe yesterday. . A steam fire engine coming up Chest nut street Friday night, at a furious rate, collided with a street car at the corner of Third street. The result wss that the 'engine horses dashed into "the• car with such force.that_they not only completely stove in one-half of the side of the car, but - went into the car themselves,{ at the 'fame time turning the car completely "reund, and landing it in the gutter on the Opposite side of the street, with the horses beaded down Third street. The only passenger was alady who fortunate ly esc..ped uninjured. It is estimated that .from 8,000 to 10,- 000 pounds of oleomargarine are sold in Philadelphia daily. As this substitute for genuine butter is not really unwhole some, there is no particular objection to. its being sold, if persons buying it are not sold also. The law providing that it must be plainly dosiguated appears to be quite generally disregarded. - Thursday morning Policeman Picas heard loud screams issuing from the resi dence of Mrs. Elizabeth Ford,-1121 Brown street.

There are in this city two thousand miles of streets, of which five hundred miles are paved with cobble stones, at $1.25 per square 'yard ; forty-seven with stone blocks at $3 ;.two with asphalt or other composition at $1.60; one hundred with brolcBn stone at $1.50; ono with wood at noyrice stated ; 1100 with gravel and dirt at nineteen cents ; and two hun dred and fifty with rubble stone at $1.50.

C., Dec. 16 . 1879 Senator Windourhas very appropriately been placed upon the sub-committee on railroads, to have charge of the bill ex tending the time for the completion of the Northern Pacific railroad. Senator Windom is well informed on the railroad subject in general..and on this' road in particular. I have had a very interesting talk with the Senator. He indulges the hope that it will ba completed in a few years. It will be built with its own re sources, and will pay its way almost as fast as it lays its rails. The company, he says, has decided to put its rich lands in the market for cash to actual settlers at the government rate ($2.50 per acre), and if they do this, no doubt the rush of emigration taat way next year will ex ceed anything ever known in the way of an amount of population. Mr. Shelley, of Alabama, has presented resolutions of inquiry as to what caused the present nogro 'exodus, wherepuon a newspaper writer aptly remarks. "The man who is used more, perhaps, to bull dozing than any other mtmber of the House, cooly demands an investigation of the causes of the i exodus, and says the pegroes are-induced to leave their homes by ' false representations'. The chief of the false representations' which led to the exodus now expected from Mr. Shelley's own district to that which Mr. Shelley hiniself imbodies,'' . and it may beiadded that all the inquiries and agita tion the Democrats can get up will result in helping on the exodus. Annoyed at the nearness of the Christ mas holidays and their own tardiness at getting to work, the Democratic appropria tion Committee perfected two unimport ant bills and had them passed the other day. This was simply to supplement their work of forcing through a'resolu tion to take a recess from the 19th of this month to January 6th. • The response to Senator Blaine's an nouncernent against retiring the green backs at present is faorable, almost unanimous in the Republican ranks,' here. The Democratic method of economiz ing on paper and being extravagant after wards is liable to be shown up'shortlY. They pretended to cut down the cost of long mail routes, but after the contracts were made, whenever they can find a Democratic friend to favor, they, vote to increase the service but do not forget to increase the pay many fold more. It has been discovered that certain routes have been thus doctored by slippery legislators to the tune of about one hundred thou sand dollars. Democratic economizers are queer specimens. HOWARD.
