SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept 30.-The week
has indeed been q remarkable one for San
Francisco. The presence OF one American
citiZa IN has served to hush the voice OF dis
sension, to stiis at least temporar lily that
acrimonious feeling which has been such q
curse to this State, and to permit men TO
unite in one object who had for months. il
not for years, been alienated by political
differences, which on this coast too often
result in personal enmity aud arrangement.
Daring the past week, however, the Itchet,
ii not buried, has been
HIDDEN OUT OF SIGHT,
and in this place, abOuudlng IN prominent
and wealthy ex Confederate soldiers and
sympathizars, those formerly mo.t bitterly
opposed TO the cauae represented by Gen.
Grant have sought to dc han most honor.
Gen. Grant must have needed all his we'll
known unaseumingness of char acter the last
few days. Abroad he might consider that
the honor showered upon him were tho-e
awarded 10 a representative American
citizen. Here, however, he cannot but ac-
knowledge the spontaneous popular feeling
~ being given personally TO
THE MAN ULYSSES GRANT.
Hence his qualification cannot bnt be
great, and should like reception be re
served for him in the other chief cities oil
the Union, one cannot but fOresee that the
intention Of himself and Mrs. Grant, eg-
pressed TO your correspondent 80 late "a this
morning, TO settle down 10 housekeeping in
Gslena, may be rudely broken in upon by
circumstances. Many prominent politI
cians here consider that Gen. Grant will be
nominated in the convention by scclsms-
ton. That he himself, however, IL doing
nothing to contribute to that end no res-
sonable man can doubt. Surfeited with
honors, he recognizes that nothing in the
future could add to his laurels or his repu-
tation.
KEARSEY AT THE SAND LOTS.
Those who visited the Sqnd-Lo,s in er,
pectation Of hearing kearney pronounce
ditsribe against Grant were disappointed.
In the cour-e of his customary speech the
sgitator referred TO HE un- ucceseful at
tempts to obtain an interview with the
General, statinA that his intention was to
invite him to the Sand-Lots. lie proposed
to make no comments on Grant, refussl Ia
see him, leaving the intelligent wUrkingmen
TO form their own conclusions.
REUNION POSTPONED.

telegram from Gen. Grant, stating that biz
engagements will not permit his Preser &C
esrli@r than Nov. Is b, a week later than
