SAN Francisco, Sept. 0, 1870.
The spontaneous outburst Of enthu-
slasm which greeted General Sherman
OH Wednesday night was equally wor-
thy of the great city Re visited and the
hero to whom it was accorded. His
progress from the ferry landing to the
hotel was a perfect ovation, and proves
what a deep, firm hold the savlors Of
the Republic have upon the gratitude
Of our citizens. The whole adult pop
ulatlon of San Francisco appeared to
have poured on to Montgomery street
10 welcome the coming guest, and a
perfect storm of cheers accompanied
him along that thoroughfare. 1t was
quite dark by the time the procession
reached the Lick House, but a power
full magnesium light illumined the
scene and enabled the thronging thou
sands to catch a glimpse Of the man
who demonstrated that the Confed-
eracy was but an empty shell. He
looks much younger than his portraits
would lead one to imagine, though
with that exception lie closely RESENT
bles the photographs that have SO
familiarized his countenancs to the
public.

Tho Generals Movements.
Yesterday, accompanied by Generals
Ord and Schofleld and their Stats, the
General Inspected the forts in the har-
Dor. In the evening Governor Haight
and Staff, and our carpet warriors of
militia derivation, Generals Cobb and
Hewston, made official calls upon the
distinguished visitor. To-day he par

A Democratic Rout.
The result of the municipal election
has been n very decided victory for the
Taxpayers ticket. On the general
ticket every II Of their candidates
was returned with the exception Of
Charles r. Peters for Tax Collector,
and James Il. Bolton, for Fire Com
missioner. Mr.. Peters Is not n popular
man, and his connection with the Mer-
camille Library Lottery lost him many
votes; and MI. Bolton might have
been elected If his friends had exerted
themselves more in his behalf. Rosen-
field, his opponent, is reported to have
spent $4,000 in the canvass, and, I'M
like Holt, the Democratic candidate
for Auditor, who, 1t Is we'll known,
paid $4,000 for his nomination, will
have a chance to reimburse himself for
the expenditure out Of the salary OF
800 per month attached to the Office.
It is as yet impossible to tell If the
ring In the Board of Supervisors will
have any recruits. Shrader's return Is
n disgrace to the corrupt Republican
| Convention that nominated him, a dis
grace to the ward that elected him, and
q disgrace to every man who voted for
him. For two years longer his best
abilities will be devoted to acquiring 4
fortune Mt the expense Of the city, and
unless the indictment In the Municipal
| Criminal Court relieves San Francisco
of the incubus, We shall have to pay a
| costly penalty for thus honoring dis
honesty. Mr.. Howard Colt, the caller
of the Board of Brokers, better known
as Miss Lilly lIItchcock's husband,
was defeated by 4 small majority In
the Fifth Ward. Mr.. Colts linen was
n little too clean for the multitude, and
II he had not been what the boys call
so "higli-toned"-th Is, wear nice
shirts and smoke fragrant cigars-he
would undoubtedly have been success
full. His opponent, Goodwin, only
gained the day by systematic coloniZ-
ing from the other wards. 1t Is said:

street, with a hundred beds, ana hired

asked for this liberality was that each
one would put a small piece OF paper
into a box with Mr.. Goodwin's lame
