Gated the city of the Golden Gate. Comrads
Norris of Nashville extended an invitation to
hold the next reunion there. and presented
earnest resolutions endorsing the invitation
by ex Confederate soldiers in Tennessee. An
invitation from Texas was presented, with 4
request that it be placed on file.
After an extend d debate in favor and
against San Francisco and Nashville, a bal
lot was taken which resulted as follows
San Francisco, 26l; Nashville, It's. The
vote in favor of San Francisco was then
made unanimous, and the encampment ad-
journed until 10 A. M. tomorrow.
1t is stated that at the recent session Of the
National Encampment, to-day, Comrade
Lorlng of Massachusetts offered q resolution,
which was referred to a committee, providing
that the Grand Army organization favors
giving pension of 81 per month to every
soldier now living who took part in the re-
bellion whether disabled or not; that all pre-
vious legislation on the subject of pensions
be cancelled and that the 800, 900 applica
tlons for pensions now on file shall be with
drawn. A strong effort will be made to have
the resolution adopted, but it is thought by
many that the organization will not pledge
itself upon the subject.
The candidates tor ommander-in-chie of
the National Encampment are, so far as can
be learned, Gen. John A. Reynolds, of
Rochester, N. Y, who has served IS terms
as post commander of George H. Thomas
post and one as department commander of
the State of New York He was command.
er OF battery L, First New York Light Artil-
lery, chief of artillery of the first corps at
Gettysburg, and also chief of artillery Of the
army of Georgia. His department comrades
are unanimous in presenting him. Hon.
Samuel Burdette, of Washington, ID. c.,
is the candidate of the department of the
Potomac. He served as captain in the First
Iowa cavalry. He served two terms in Con-
gress. also has been twice chosen commander
of the department of the Potomac and is now
q noted lawyer in Washington. John w.
Burst, Of Chicago, ILL.,, is the candidate Of
his department. He served in the 18th and
l05th Illinois regiments and was mustered
out as captain, and is now grain register OF
Illinois. Missouri and other departments
will probably present candidates.

was very fine.
There is considerable grumbling, and no,
without just cause, among the western Wis
itors who arrived here late aud who had no,
taken the precaution to secure quarters in
advance over the exorbitant prices charged
for accommodations. This has not been the
rule, but there is noteworthy exceptions
where this kind of thing has been carried on
to an excess that has had the result of Great
ing considerable amount of indignation. The
citizens generally condemn such actions and
regret exceedingly that they must cast an un-
fortunate reflection on the city. 1t is known
that one lady, member of the Woman's Re-
lief Corps, who arrived late at night at one of
the hotels, was given the option of paying 90
day for the use of small, cramped room
on the upper part Of the house, or seeking
cheaper quarters in the dead of the night.
Ofcourse she had to pay the price. The
highest price charged for board in this house
previous to the present week, was S. per
week. Other cases of more or less agra
waited nature of similar character are re-
ported.

MT. McGsRooR, June "a.
So far from being Frustrated by his un-
wonted work Of yesterday, General Grant,
after eight hours of sleep, last night and
this morning, has resumed his work to-day.
A message of sympathetic character was
received from the National Encsmpment,
Of the G. A. r., now being held at Portland,
Me. The General read the commun nicatiou,
expressing pleasure thereat, and returning
thanks over his own signature. DR.. Shrady
arrived to examine Gen. Grants throat and
to consult with DIR. Douglass. and then TO
formulate an official bulletin giving the ex.
act condition of the patient
DIR. Shrsdy said that the swellingfn Grants
throat as to hardness, was the same as a week
ago. 1t was, however. harder than a month
ago, and probably more deeply fixed. The
accidental infiltration caused by the journey,
had ceased. The liberation Of the tongue
was disposed to deepen rather than to acquire
superficial area. The progression of the
local disease was slow. DIR. Shrady said the
General had been composed for sleep about
o'clock, six minims Of morphia having been
given him.

strength, durability and lightness are
required. Unfortunately aluminium has
thus far been an expensive metal which
is the sole reason for its not having
come more into general use. But If the
metal found so plentifully in this vein

pronounce it aluminium, We are com.

days be free to show the property to
any one feeling sufficient interest in
the matter to come and examine il.
