Grant Coming.

SAN FRANoIsoo, September a.
The veterans of the late war met this
evening, about five hundred in num-
ber, and resolved to welcome General
Grant on his return with a national
salute from the Sand lots.
In reply to a telegraphic inquiry, a
cable from Yokohama announces that
the steamer City of Toxic, on which
Grant was a passenger, was not under
orders to make other than the ordi-
nary time, and consequently it is
probable that she may not arrive here
before next Sunday, although the
Pacific Mail authorities say it is prob
able she will make port as early as
Wednesday. To provide for that con-
tingency preparations for Grants re-
ception will be so expedited that
everything will be ready at short
notice. The work of decorating the
streets and buildings will be com
menced tomorrow, and tomorrow
afternoon various committees will
meet to conclude the arrangements.

Yes; the influence of good women

NOT A CANDIDATE.

The Hon. Jefferson Davis has writ
ten letter, in which he says he is not
candidate for United States senator
from Mississippi, and he has no desire
to be elected to that position. He
thinks congress might remove his dis
abilities, but believes that he will best
promote the prosperity and serve the
interest of Mississippi by this deci-
sion, and that one who has no disabil-
tiles to obstruct his admittance tc
the senate and against whom there are
no bitter preiudices to impair his use
fulness should be selected. He says:
THE vital issue before the country
is the contest between State rights
and consolidation. Or, in other words
between the constitution, as it was
adopted and interpreted by the faith
ers, or the unrestricted will of the
majority. The first is liberty; the last
despotism. The supremacy of law is
indispensable to the preservation OF
popular freedom, and whether the
ruler, who is law unto himself, be
one man, or multitude, the result is
alike despotism.
Mr.. Davis is to be commended fol

desire to see him again prominent in

At every halt along the river every.

grasshopper bats that were thrown

may seem very strange with regard to
the whitefsh, as their reputation on
the great lakes for taking the hook is
not the best, yet here they proved bet
ter biters than the trout. General

magnificent stream for fishing. |

man came into a gambling saloon on
Chestnut street one night, and, after
watching the play few minutes, said :
II bet thousand that the ace wins -
The man meant what he said, and the
dealer sent for the proprietor of the bank,
who scratched his head and said that the
bank would take a fourth Of the bet.
Wouldn't some Of the gentlemen ike to
make up the rest ? "I'll take $3.50 OF it,"
said man leaning against .he bar. "I'll
take $3.50 more" said another, and in
three minutes $4,000 lay on the table and
the dealer took up the cards. He dealt
three or four turns and the ace came loser.
The partners took $3.50 apiece, and the
man who had risked SO much on single
