show Generals Sherman, Schofeld and Davis,
and Admiral Farquhar of the British Navy. The
Grand is the rendezvous of Eastern visitors and
the Lick is regarded as the headquarters of mill
itary and naval officers. All our hotels have
made money this last season, but business just
now is rather dull owing to the cessation of the
tourist influx from the Atlantic States.
MooNEYs EMpEzzLEMENT.
As surmiscd in my last letter, Mooney, the
phlanthropst, Fenian and elevator of the work
ing classes had exceeding good cause for his
sudden disappearance. 1t is now known that he
positors Of the Savings and Loan Society, and
there is not the least doubt but that other similar
transactions will be brought to light. When it
was announced that the Bank had suspended
payment Il crowd of several hundred-prncpal
y Irish-collected on the outside of the build
ing and the scenes witnessed were very painful
The Directors Of the Institution have been guilty
of criminal neglect in allowing n man of Moon
ey S character to have sole control Of the man
agemcnt, and they are also much to blame for
the accounts. 1t would be a novel experiment
to lynch a Bank Director but it would have an ex-
cellent effect on the future conduct of those Off
GERS. But the wonder is how people could be
such fools as to trust the man Mooney with their
dollars His career has been an uninterrupted
course of blatant demagogism and financial dis
honesty. Every position he has yet held either
in Ireland, Australia or California, has found
him either secret rogue or an open deaauter ;
but because he announced himself a friend of
ireland, hubnubbed with Savage, clustered
about the wrongs of labor, and dubbed himself
" workingman's friend" his crcdulous dupes
looked upon him as an incarnation of honesty
and patriotism, and would believe nothing said
against him. His flight had evidently been long
premeditated as he sold all his landed property
some months ago and three or four weeks since
converted $4,000 worth of coin into United
Sl5o0o0, and Central America is now said tc
have been his destination.
ANOTHER VISITATION.
Just when we were congratulating ourselves
that the Eastern excursion season was over, that
clcrgymen, editors, Bostonians, lecturers and
Boards Of Trade would bother us no more until
next Spring the announcement is made that n
train of ticket agents, representing the various
railroads Of the United States and Canada, is on
its way to this much visited city. The party

the l7th, but fortunately will not be able to

snERMAs's ARRIVAL.
The spontaneous outburst of enthusiasm with
which General Sherman has been greeted, has
been equally worthy Of the State he visited and
the hero to whom it was accorded. His progress
from Chicago to San Francisco was n perfect
ovation and sufficient to prove that California
still recognizes the great debt Of gratitude she
owes to the Sayiors Of the Republic.
THE GENERALS MOVEMENTS.
On Thursday, accompanied by Generals Ord
and Schoheld and their Staffs the General in
spected the forts in the harbor. In the evening,
the Governor and our carpet warriors of militia
derivation, made official calls upon the distin.
guished visitor. On Friday he participated with
the Pioneer Society in the celebration of Caifor-
MAS twentieth birthday, and on Saturday de
lighted the German residents by attending their
Sanitary Fair The present week is to be given
up to a round of parties, dinners and balls, pri-
vate ana public, after which he will leave for
Portland, Oregon, and from thence will return
East by way Of Montana.
MARCHING THROUGH GEORGIA."
If there is any drawback to General Sherman S
happiness it must be the eternal infection to
which he is subjected of " Marching through
Georgia." Since his arrival here every band,
melodcon, piano, hand-organ and orchestra has
been grinding out that never ending strain, so
that the air musical seems nearly rs l-pervading
as :he air armospherical To know that that
tune will stick to him through life, dirge him in
