Report.
SAN FRANCISCO, September 20.-The
heart OF Gen. Grant must have been more
gratifed tonight than at any time since
his name became distinguished one in the
history of his country. He has met with
enthusiastic receptions and cheers before,
but it was when his services TO the country
were fresher in the minds of the people,
and at q time when the soul of the nation
was full of gratitude to all her defenders ;
but that feeling, were it but temporary, as is
often the case, has had time to die out
before buried the hero of 3 war. The COM
mander Of the Northern armies in the great
rebellion must have felt a il he had
accomplished sill that the country could
sex for; that his memory would soon pale
too, for had he not been taught from
childhood that republics we're ungrateful,
and had not The republic been
ONCE UNGRATEFUL TO HIM?
If he ever feared a change in the senti-
ments of his fellow. countrymep, that fear
must have disappeared tonight He could
not feel but that the heart of the nation WAS
unchanged; that it would never cesse 10
honor him; that it would never become
ungenerous, cold or distant to the man OF
its choice. AS 100000 men, women and
children cheered him until their ihroats
were sore, tonight, he must have felt that
this Republic, al least, was not ungrateful
to him. He bowed his head, trifi. grayer
than it was when he left this country two
years ago, and waved his hat right and left
to the surging, crszsd populsce. Never for
a moment from the time the procession left
the landing until he was taken to the
Palace Hotel did his interest in the fesfiv-
titles slacken, or his wonderful presence Of
mind desert him. He was at once q smil.
ing. courteous, jolly-looking Ameri-
digui6ed and honored American statesm an
and soldier. His bearing pleased the null
titude, and it cheered again and again. The
banquet promises to be one of the most
brilliant aft airs Of the kind that Californis
has ever had. The millionsires, the beauty
and the talent Of the Golden State will be
represented. 1t is said that at one table in
the Belmont Mansion, the old home OF
Ralston, men will 81, down whose fortunes
will foot up nearly S200.O0O,OOO. Among
them will be John w. Mackey, the Bonan.
"a King, and Messrs Jones, Sharon, Flood
Fair and the other men of vast wealth who
reside in this city. But the entertainer,
will not be confined to representatives, Of
wealth alone, for every branch of the arts
sciences and industries of the Pacific States
will be ably represented at the supper.
