Philadelphia Record
General Grant will probably not re-
turn to this country until May or June,
and then, instead of coming direct to
Philadelphia. be will enter the United
States at San Francisco, and proceed
over the plains and pass through the in.
land cities on bis way to this city, where
he will remain for some time. A near
personal friend of the ex.President, re.
siding here, received letter from the
General yesterday, dated Christiana,
Norway, July Is. The epistle is charac-
teristic of the writer in its brevity. 1t
covers but three pages of small note
paper, and contains vast deal of infor.
nation as to the Generals movements.
In the letter the ex President details his
movements in the cities of Hamburg
and the other places which the cable has
notified us that he had visited. Then it
goes on to say that the party arrived at
ChristiAna on the 18th OF July, and that
nearly a week had been spent in Copen-
hagen. Holland is spoken of as beau.
tifnl country. One week from the 18th
of July the general was to proceed to
Stockholm, thence to ST. Petersburg,
passing into Austria about the 9TH Of
August. From this country he desires
to proceed to some watering.place, where
he will meet prominent Philadelphia
gentleman, now sejourning in Europe,
and will spend four or five weeks at the
place the latter selects. This brings the
generals movements up to the present
time, and the cable will inform us in a
day or so of his whereabouts, and also
concerning his reception in the Russian
capital.
The Record is at liberty to state that
ex.President Grant will, if he adheres to
his present resolution, make tour OF
the world before he returns to America,
and that the winter months will be spent
in India and China. Private letters state
that the generals idea is to learn the
methods and manners of ell the people
on the face Of the globe. There never
has been an emperor or dignitary who
has travelled who has been received with
the marked attention which has charac.
terized the honors paid our late Presi.
dent.
He is in receipt of numerous letters
from politicians in this country who are
beseeching him to return home. Scarcely
day passes but letter is received from
some prominent leader of the Republi
can party requesting the general to make
bis visit as short as possible and hurry
back to these shores, 80 they may givl
him some public expression OF their re
gard for him. To all OF these the gene
raj has turned deaf ear, and decides tC
take his own ideas in regard to the m at
ter Of returning. While the politicians
are pleading with him on one side tn,
Caliiornians are on the other side, auC
with the enterprise which characterize
them the Pacific slope people hav,
brought every possible manner of inau
ence and argument to bear upon thu
general to make his grand entree through
the Golden Gate Every day his iDAu

ference now is that he instead OF oominl
to Philadelphia direct, as was bis orig
inal intention when he left this port il
May of 1877, will be welcomed By th
AFgonauts Of 49, or such of them as re
