Upon arrival at Rockiin a special car

Committee of Reception, was attached to
the train conveying the party, and the
two committees united in their attentions
and entertainment At each station passed
were large gatherings of the people intent
upon seeing General Logan-one of the
greatest Union soldiers of the war-apd
his appearance was greeted with Wild
cheers and the Tiger"
Upon arriving at Sacramento, very
large concourse of people was assembled,
and in answer to the earnest demand for
speech from the General, he was conducted
by the Sacramento committee to stair
way leading TO the offices in the depot, and
addressed the throng in a few remarks,
which were most enthusiastically cheered.
He expressed the warmest appreciation for
the generous reception he and those with
him had received, and said he was delight
ed to meet the people of the Golden State
and the numerous representatives OF the
Union soldiery. He spoke of California as
the most delightful heritage given by God
to man-grand in all its parts and resources,
and its possibilities beyond the mind of
man to contemplate The people of the
State, he said, had proven themselves in
times of war and peace, by their
loyalty and this great heartedness and gen.
crosby, to be worthy CT the heritage they
enjoy.
At the close of his remarks deafening
cheers were given and cries of Good
good p and repeated tigers" An effort
was then made to return to his car, under
attendance of the committee, but the crowd
blocked the way and compelled the General
to grant shake of hands and greeting
to a large number of the multitude.
He soon after entered his car and the Sac
ramento committee reiinquished the cour-
tesies of the occasion to the San Francisco
delegation, and the train departed for the
City by the Sea- While no definite response
could be given by the General and Gov
ernor Alger concerning being here on Sac
ramento Day, the committee feel satisfied
that they will give favorable answer in a
few days to the urgent invitation extended.
